Review: "Calypso" - 'Star Trek: Short Treks' Episode Two
As much as I found to enjoy with the first Short Treksepisode "Runaway," this is so far beyond in terms of quality and content it scarcely seems to be part of the same series. A two-hander set centuries after Discovery, yet still strongly linked to the primary series, "Calypso" benefits from some excellent acting, stylish direction, and a compact and effective script.

Full Moon
The moon is of huge significance in the field of Earth science, controlling tides and seasons with its gravitational pull. In some respects, it symbolises man's ability to aim higher than our ancestors ever thought possible, and the exploration of worlds beyond our own.

A Tale of Two Martian Chronicles
Though historians debate the exact date, by any reasonable measure radio drama stopped being a mass entertainment in America over 50 years ago. In the intervening decades fitful attempts at revivals have been made by both commercial and public radio entities. However, despite some signs of life in the area of “scripted podcasts,” the medium remains a curiosity in the current cultural landscape. Even in the final few years of radio drama’s heyday, when CBS continued to produce a handful of series, it was already something of a novelty, the mass audience having migrated to television by the time JFK took office.

Review of 'Outlander' 4.2
Outlander 4.2 last night, another strong episode, continued the blending of opposites that is the essence of the series. This time it was Jamie's aunt's plantation in South Carolina. It's a beautiful, bucolic paradise on first glance. But on closer inspection, it thrives on the backs of hundreds of slaves. Jamie's aunt is kind -- meaning, she treats her slaves well. Claire with her future sensibilities is horrified. Jamie's not to happy either. And before the hour is over, we're treated to an in-depth, sensitive tour of the law and practice of slavery in pre-Revolutionary War America.
