I wrote this post in April 2012 and cannot believe it was six years ago now. I still remember watching this particular episode of Sherlock, and being blown away by it. I thought I’d bring it forward, because even though the BBC series is now in hiatus, possibly never to return, the episodes are all much […]

I wouldn’t normally cram two Pulse Pause Moments together as closely as I have these two, but I was just so blown away by Altered Carbon, that I had to write about it now. (BTW, further to my post last week about Riverdale, I have added a postscript to that one – t.) If you are old

Pulse Pause Moments – Jugghead?? Jugghead?? I mean…really? Not only was I inveigled into watching Riverdale, but I wasn’t at all familiar with the Archie comic books (although I’ve done a bit of–mostly horrified–reading since then). I can’t believe they made a TV series out of Archie comics. Not only that, but the series manages

I think everyone considers, at least once in their life, and usually when they’re young, the idea of pursuing fame and fortune as a movie star. I know I did. Lately, though, I have begun to think screen actors have the worst job in the world. Just to begin, most of them have to shuck

It’s a sign of the times: I have learned over the last few years to be wary of any book published by the last remaining five traditional New York publishers because the price is usually outrageous, and the story a re-hash of recent best sellers, with anything resembling originality edited out of it. For the
Pulse Pause Moments – lots of ’em, including Lucifer in a suit. Read More »
Many of the TV series I get to watch are recommended to me by readers who know I’m just as interested in a good story as they are. Also, now Netflix is sending me recommendations, which, given my eclectic tastes, can be fraught. The odd whacky title they’ve recommended, though, I’ve still taken a look

Wow, how time flies! Here we are, in the middle of March, and the last one of these I did was in December last year!! Anyway, recently we got around to watching the first season of Timeless, the new time travel series. Both Mark and I write time travel stories and are fascinated by them, so Timeless

Ah, come on. You knew I would have to do a salute to Han Solo on this week of all weeks, right? The new Star Wars movie is officially released in two days’ time, and this is also the first week of full time writing for me, and Han Solo/Harrison Ford were one of the

Pulse Pause Moments – Han Solo I don’t think it’s any sort of secret at all that I was kick-started into writing fiction by the original Star Wars movies, and romance was a lock-in after Han Solo’s “I know”. I’ve written that story in a few places, including here. It would be fair to say
