WEEK IN GEEK: Fueled by the emotions generated by the recently released trailer for Star Trek: Discovery, Andrew slipped back into the Star Trek pool by spinning up Star Trek Online and Star Trek Timelines while D. reads the first trade collection of Eric Powell's (formerly of The Goon) newest comic series, Hillbilly, from Albatross Funnybooks. EXHAUSTED DESPAIR: D. Bethel saw the newest entry into the venerated Alien/Aliens franchise, Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant, and definitely had feelings about it. Fueled by an online discussion generated by The Hollywood Reporter article, "'Why Alien: Covenant' Is Actually a 'Blade Runner' Sequel in Disguise" by Josh Spiegel (and because Andrew hasn't seen the new movie yet), it seemed only right to bring on friend of the show and Alien enthusiast, Taylor Katcher, to talk what worked and what didn't work in this new movie. WORKS CITED: Spiegel, Josh. "Why 'Alien: Covenant' Is Actually a 'Blade Runner' Sequel in Disguise." The Hollywood Reporter. 20 May 2017. WORKS CONSULTED: Couch, Aaron. "'Alien: Covenant' Screenwriter on the Michael Fassbender Scene That 'Easily Could Have Gone Wrong.'" The Hollywood Reporter. 21 May 2017. LINKS:
For all intents and purposes, that was an episode recap. FEATURED MUSIC: -"Stayin' in Black" by Wax Audio
