Stargates

Quite obviously, the Stargate is the most vital component of the TV show of the same name, but what exactly is a Stargate, and what does it do? (The Stargate at the SGC is activated) A Milky Way Stargate (it’s important to distinguish it from other gates) has 39 symbols, and potentially any seven of […]

Writing Prompts: Polyped

This ‘word of the day’ prompt relates to wildlife, though it doesn’t have to relate to wildlife. A polyped is an animal or object with multiple legs. My mind immediately goes to creatures like centipedes and caterpillars. Ants, spiders, and numerous other living things would fall under this category. It ought to be noted that […]

There are wolves after me

No, not literally people. I’m not facing off against wild animals. At least, not yet. Given the insanity of 2020, all things are possible, but for now there are no feral canines wandering local streets. For now. Instead, wolves appeared in my crazy dream last night, a dream I am still processing. It might best […]

Pondering Sci-Fi Discussion/Debate

So I’m giving some consideration around a couple of site pages, relating to sci-fi stuff. New Stargate material perhaps, or perhaps a look at the state of Star Trek vs Star Wars, in light of Discovery, Picard, and the Star Wars sequel trilogy. I’m more than happy to accept contributions, especially if they lead to […]

There’s Babylon 5, which delved into mythology in a clever way. There’s Stargate SG1, one of my all-time favourites. The winner though, is the Star Trek show that broke the […]

TV Show Challenge Day 16

As I missed this yesterday, let’s quickly catch up. Day 16 is ‘Show with the most seasons’. A little tricky. Technically, Doctor Who has had more seasons than any other show I’ve enjoyed, but Stargate SG1 had ten consecutive seasons that were all more or less of equal length. On a more subjective level, earlier […]

TV Show Challenge Day 11

Following on from the 90s theme of yesterday, today is all about the noughties. This one is easy. Whilst the show began in the 90s, it was in the 00s where it truly came alive and where I came to properly appreciate it. Stargate SG1 is a rare thing. There are very few shows where […]

Recently Completed Projects (and new ones)

I’ve been busy lately. Busy completing a few pages for the main site that have been sitting in draft limbo for quite a while, or in some cases non-existent – drafts done in my head but not actually put to paper, so to speak. It feels good to finally get some momentum going! The focus […]
