In case you missed it, the Stargate's Greatest Villain Tournament final pitted Anubis vs Baal and, in the end, our winner - He was certainly the most fun villain to write for, and much of it had to do with Cliff Simon's brilliant performance. Legend. I don't know, LinkedIn. I don't know... I got a…
May 19, 2024: Sharky Sunday!
Out and about with m'boy! He enjoys a more leisurely walk with plenty of breaks for belly rubs... A lazy walker but a pretty intense, high impact sleeper... LOVES his toilet paper rolls... Getting his steps in... Sharky's average Sunday afternoon... Loves to get his butt scrubbed...
May 18, 2024: Back on the Crime Binge!
Fargo (2014 - 2024) Season 3 Follows the lives of a couple, Ray Stussy and Nikki Swango, who, after unsuccessfully trying to rob Ray's wealthy older brother Emmit, become involved in a double murder case. My thoughts: Not quite as strong as the show's second season, yet nevertheless a quirky and compelling character-driven story. 4/5…
May 17, 2024: The results are in! Prepare to be unamazed!
The results of Sharky's DNA test are in and they are...underwhelming! I guessed mostly pug but probably some beagle. Maybe mastiff or boxer. Perhaps a touch of dachshund? We sent away the samples three weeks ago and today were alerted to the results. Are you ready? Yep. Mostly pug. I'm not surprised he's majority pug…

The favorites are looking pretty strong.

Kinsey is quite the dark horse. I honestly expected Apophis to triumph over Anubis given the characters longer history with the…

Head on over to twitter and cast your vote! https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1790456422737523037 I lean Apophis just because of his longer history, but Anubis has his supporters. https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1790472753382060213 I've got to go with the stylish Baal, one of the most fun System Lords to write for. https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1790487857464840396 I've always been a fan of the bad guys that turn…
May 13, 2024: Stargate’s Greatest Villain Tournament! Vote!
Over on twitter (or X as the kids call it), I am running a Stargate's Greatest Villain Tournament. Halfway through the first round and the higher seeded baddies have advanced without issue - Lord Apophis has a lot of followers. Cowan really never stood a chance. No surprise here either. Anyway, Maybourne was more of…
May 12, 2024: Sharky Sunday!
At this point, we can't walk a block without Sharky showing off his "play dead" skills... Out and about with Sharky. Another adventure... The great hard-boiled vs soft-boiled debate. Discuss! I forgot to serve Sharky his post-walk soup. He helpfully reminds me... That is one comfy muggle...
May 11, 2024: The Crime Binge Continues – Alright, let’s get this over with!
Grace (2021 - ) Season 1 Drama following Brighton-based Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, a hard-working police officer who has given his life to the job. My thoughts: Cheesy and contrived with a ridiculous medium angle. 2.5/5 Blood (2018 - 2020) Season 1 Cat Hogan returns to West Meath upon her mother's sudden death--she had an…

May 7, 2024: The Crime Binge continues!
Defending Jacob (2020) The limited drama series is a gripping, character-driven thriller based on the 2012 New York Times best selling novel of the same name by William Landay. An assistant DA's world is shattered when his beloved son gets charged with murder. My thoughts: Gets off to a good start, then gets bogged down…
