'Dune' Casting Update
My anticipation level for this movie (or will it be franchise now?) was high enough when Villeneuve was announced as director coming off the back of modern sci-fi classics in Arrival and Blade Runner 2049, and if we look back further, Villeneuve has not made a bad movie yet with Sicario and Prisoners also on his filmography.

Review of 'The Orville' 2.7
A perfect Orville —2.7—last night for Valentine's Day, which explains why The Orville didn't have a new episode last week. The powers that be wanted to make sure this episode aired on Valentine's Day. And they were right. Love was in the air for Ed and Kelly—or the rekindling of the continuation of their love—and for Talia and a brilliant Moclan engineer, Locar, who comes aboard to refit the ship with a new deflector system. "Deflectors," the title of the episode, works well, since there are all kinds of psychological deflectors, in addition to the physical, at play in this story.

First 'Doctor Who' Series 12 Director and Writer Leaked Online
Doctor Who Series 11 last year went down a treat with many fans, but with some, not so much. The latest series saw a fresh new cast and production team as the new showrunner, Chris Chibnall, introduced the show’s first ever female Doctor, which happens to be Jodie Whittaker, who he has worked with before on ITV’s Broadchurch.

Review of 'Project Blue Book' 1.6
My favorite part of Project Blue Book 1.6 last night—and also likely to have some beneficial consequences for Hynek's investigation—is his decision to bring his wife Mimi into his investigations of extraterrestrial visitations, so the two of them are a "team."

Bring Religion Back: The Answer to All Our Problems!
I’ve never been a religious person. Even when I was little enough to be open to the idea of religion, I could remember sitting around thinking about how “ridiculous” the Bible sounded. MY heart somehow always knew that religion wasn’t where I was going to put my hope and faith, and I would learn later in life to put all that hope and faith into myself; God's not going to build me.

Psychosomatic Movement
Over the New Year break, I visited my family in Texas and got a hold of some VHS tapes. You know, the dusty kind of tapes your mom keeps on the shelves to watch at some unforeseeable time in the future. These tapes were extremely outdated but one of them was actually pretty interesting. There was a very dark face on the front cover that was very ominous at first glance. It was called "Self Hypnosis Training Video" by Marshall Sylver and I was so intriguing to me that I had to know more.

Black Cat in a Coal Cellar
Reading Stephen Hawking it is obvious that he and his colleagues are very intelligent people. In the science and math aspects. But in the end, a theory is a theory. It takes a very intelligent person to know when they know nothing at all. Reading up on black holes is fun because of the simple fact that scientists are trying to prove something they cannot see. Even in the field of physics, of physical science, we still have no idea how things work or why. We just know they do. In the case of a black hole, it is a force you can't see but that has a gravitational pull strong enough to suck the light from neighboring stars. It is essentially a black spot in the universe where light cannot escape. Sounds terrifying, right? Hawking says that if an astronaut were to venture inside of one, there would be a great chance that he be stretched out from the tips of his toes to the top of his head in a long, excruciating disappearance. Or perhaps if he could maneuver his way through this dark wormhole, he'd possibly be able to travel distances and time across the universe that we have so far only seen in Sci Fi movies.

Global Warming
The Fourth Assessment Report (4AR) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), released in February 2007, provided the strongest statement yet that global warming (or climate change) is (1) real, (2) is going to lead to significant adverse impacts within the next century, and (3) is being driven by human activity. The 4AR is the latest iteration of the IPCC's flagship summary of the scientific basis of climate change and its impacts (the previous one was in 2001) and concludes:
