2023 Year-in-Review
Welcome to 2024! Before we all dive into the new year, let’s turn our gaze back to the prior one. Other than spending the last week and a half with a miserably persistent, hacking cough, 2023 was a good year … Continue reading
Book Reader Wheel of Time Recap and Reaction: Season Two, Episodes 7-8
Episodes 7 and 8 of season 1 sharply turned me against the show. The good news is that is not the case with episodes 7 and 8 of season 2. Part of that is my dim view of the show … Continue reading
Book Reader Wheel of Time Recap and Reaction: First Six Episodes of Season Two
I’m trying not to hate-watch the Amazon Wheel of Time show. I really am. And succeeding! I don’t hate it. But then I don’t exactly love it either. SPOILERS abound below. Mostly for the show, but there will be book … Continue reading
Honor Among Thieves is a Dungeons and Dragons Movie that Remembers Fantasy is Supposed to be Fun
The worst consequence of Game of Thrones’ success is that it wrongly taught movie and TV writers and execs that fantasy should be dour. If that wasn’t your bag, or if you just got worn out on all the doom … Continue reading
Fourth Quarter 2022 Quarter-and-Year-in-Review
I will say this about 2022: it was a great year for everything but reading and blogging. The dominant event there was the birth of our son, but otherwise it was a very busy, very fulfilling year filled with work … Continue reading
300 and Its Sequel Rise of an Empire Reflect the Respective Virtues of Sparta and Athens

Rings of Power Redux
I finished season one of Amazon’s The Rings of Power show adapting material from the appendices to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.[1] I also did two other things since my last post on the show that affect how … Continue reading

Third Quarter 2022 Quarter-in-Review
The summer’s swelter retreats as cool fog and brisk mornings creep in. Soon the leaves will begin to change and yards fill with skeletons. Weekends have come to be dominated by football. It is fall, the very best season of … Continue reading
Recap and Review of the First Two Episodes of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
Did I watch the first two episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime (Rings of Power from here on out) on Thursday evening as soon as they dropped? Well, I tried. I didn’t … Continue reading
Second Quarter 2022 Quarter-in-Review
It was a hectic quarter, even if thinks have started settling down as the baby transitions from newborn baby to just baby. The big wrench in my plans here was my wife and I both finishing leave but only having … Continue reading
