A major milestone is fast approaching.\u00a0 October 9th will be the review of the final episode of the Twilight Zone Series.\u00a0 It’s going to be a foot race between the last eight episodes and my will to watch them.\u00a0 Season Five, with a few notable exceptions was pretty mediocre.\u00a0 Once I finish I will be starting a review of the Star Trek original series.\u00a0 That will be a lot of fun for me and I intend to be pretty merciless\u00a0\u00a0when it comes to reviewing the skill of the acting especially of that\u00a0Demigod of Bad Acting<\/a>, Bill Shatner.\u00a0 I intend to return to the Twilight Zone to pick my top ten and bottom ten and look at various themes and talk about the later manifestations like the revivals and the motion picture.\u00a0 After a hundred and fifty six episodes I’ll need a break.\u00a0 But never fear there is all kinds of worthwhile materials to review and recommend in both the sf&f genre and elsewhere in the world of entertainment.<\/p>\n

I’m reading what so far seems like a very interesting book called White Shift.\u00a0 It examines the current influx of Non-European immigrants into America and Europe and its effects on the white populations of those areas.\u00a0 Regardless of the political point of view of the author it isn’t the usual “diversity is our strength” lecture.\u00a0 I’ll finish it before discussing it in depth but it seems to include a relatively even handed approach to the different points of view of white Americans and for that alone it’s interesting.<\/p>\n

Political events are starting to accelerate again.\u00a0 Brexit, Kavanaugh, Creepy Uncle Joe and Fauxcahantas are all in the news and Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine are heating up.\u00a0 The usual suspects (McCabe, Comey and company) are still not in jail so I’m beginning to wonder if there is an election timing aspect to this.\u00a0\u00a0 Or maybe, the Deep State really is untouchable.\u00a0 Well, hang in there the next few weeks look like fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
