Page Turners They Were Not

On today's episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the near-future and the struggling survival of a stranded astronaut on the barren sands of the Red Planet. That's right: we are exploring Ridley Scott's 2015 science fiction classic The Martian. With some of the most accurate depictions of science ever put on film and featuring an incredible all-star cast including such luminaries as Matt Damon, Jeff Daniels, and Jessica Chastain just to name a few, The Martian is an unforgettable experience.

The other day the trailer for the 3rd and final season of Star Wars The Bad Batch was released. Many people were wondering when we would get our first look at this most highly-anticipated season. Now that it's here, allow me to share a few thoughts!

The trailer for The Bad Batch Season 3 dropped on Monday and was pretty awesome! At the very end of this exciting teaser, a certain character we have not seen in many years appeared and lit the internet on fire (at least until the Oscar Nominations came out the next day...). Join me as I discuss some of the questions raised by this revelation.

Earlier this morning, the 96th Academy Award nominations were announced! Were there some curveballs or did everything go as expected? Join me as I react to reading the nominations for the first time!

On this week's episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the 32nd century and the further adventures of the USS Discovery. In this installment, Captain Burnham and crew are called upon to rescue an alien colony from the devastation of a space anomaly known as the DMA. However, the chief magistrate of the colony does not wish the Discovery to rescue a group of condemned prisoners known as "The Examples". What follows is an ethical dilemma in the tradition of classic Star Trek. Join us as we go boldly!

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. One of the more controversial aspects of the film was the introduction of Midichlorians, microscopic life-forms that reside in all living cells that communicate the will and power of the Force. Join me as I share what I've learned in the years since.

In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, the nearly self-appointed Emperor Palpatine mentioned that the Sith once ruled the galaxy. While little is known in modern Canon, we do have a few details scattered throughout the recent books and comics. Join me as I share what is known, as well as speculate responsibly about what may be.

Part of the announcement last week of the Mandalorian and Grogu movie also mentioned that Ahsoka season 2 is in the works. While this seems quite obvious now, it was not 100% confirmed until last week. Join me as I share some thoughts on the next step of Ahsoka's journey!

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

With the return of the evil Grand Admiral Thrawn to the main Star Wars galaxy at the end of Ahsoka Season 1, it is likely he will take control of the Imperial Remnants and lead a new Empire against the New Republic. This begs the question: How does the First Order come into the picture? Join me as I share with you what is known well as my own responsible speculations about how the pieces fit together.
