Posted on April 25, 2018 by Marion

I’ve started watching SyFy’s Superman prequel Krypton intermittently. The opening episode did not impress.

Good Books, Bad TV

Posted on February 16, 2010 by Marion

 I checked into the Breakers Inn on Friday, then I walked up to The Four-Eyed Frog and bought two novels, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, and The Godfather of Kathmandu. After wandering around Gualala photographing the awesome waves, … Continue reading →

Names Have Power. I’m Talking to You, Syfy Channel.

Posted on October 3, 2009 by Marion
