So by this point it should not be a spoiler that a flashback at the beginning of episode 2 of HBO’s “The Last Of Us” has a scientist realize just what biological horror has been unleashed in Jakarta, Indonesia. In short, it’s a mutated fungus that essentially kicks off a zombie apocalypse. There is no…

I haven’t seen it, so don’t blame me. But this reviewer *really* didn’t like it: Don’t watch ‘Star Trek: Picard’ season three, it’ll only encourage them The third season is yet another misguided waste of everyone’s time. Whoa. The previews look better than the first two execrable seasons, but that’s a low bar indeed. I…

It would be an era unimaginable to fans of a just-cancelled franchise today: back then, you either saw the showed when it aired, or you didn’t.

Behold “Hello Tomorrow!” Some sort of alternate history where the 1950’s never ended yet technology continued, so there are hover-cars, robots and spaceships that all look like they belong in the 50’s. This *could*…
