As some readers are no doubt aware I recently started a job that, given the amount of commuting it involves, has seriously affected my free time. As such, certain things have been put on hold until I’m able to move to Bristol. One of those things is my Grand Undertaking. It’s pretty much no longer [...]

On The Brink Of Something

  Brink was a game that I had followed with some interest. Its’ setting and surrounding story could have been almost written with me in mind.

In which our heroes gather together in their entirety for the boldest, bravest, perhaps foolhardiest episode of World 1 Stage 1 in history.

Enterprise Season 2, Episode 6 Marauders Watching this episode I had a thought that I had to share. It’s not a complicated or deep thought, just a quick one that I felt worth sharing. It has to do with the sloppy handling of continuity in Enterprise. We all know that Klingons are a sticky point [...]
