Live Long And Prosper

RIP

 

Aaron did this tribute to Leonard Nimoy, a fallen sci-fi warrior. Aaron appreciates everything Nimoy did and therefore wanted to do this.

Today, we lost an icon. Some people will not understand that sadness that this loss has brought onto most people, but I say it is a great loss. To me Nimoy sits on the pantheon of sci-fi and nerdom that I love. He’s part of the reason that I love what I love. When I was younger and I would repeat in my head something that Spock once said “Pain is a thing of the mind. The mind can be controlled.”. He was the logic that kept the typical hero archetype that was Kirk. Through the years he did amazing voice over work that I loved in Transformers, Futurama, and the Simpsons. Lastly I will always remember his amazing villain role as Dr. William Bell in one of my favorite all time shows Fringe. I will miss the greatness he brought to this world but will always preserve it in memory.

Never Not Funny: Pardcast-a-thon 2014/ Smile Train

I’ve been listening to Campos Sales Never Not Funny since the beginning thanks to Gentleman Yama Rahyar. Every week I anticipated each episode of the podcast helmed by one of my top five favorite comedians Jimmy Pardo with the Producer Matt Belknap and at the time former third basemen Mike Schmidt. In 2009 the Never Not Funny team started to support Smile Train with a telethon that ran all through the wee hours of the night. Past telethons have included legends and heroes of mine from Paul F. Thompkins, John Hamm, Pat Francis, and Conan O’ Brian. This year is the second year I’ll be attending along with my sidekick and Gent Travis Kennedy from the Plain Zero Podcast I couldn’t be more excited. Not only does the Never Not Funny league entertain the masses with this telethon but they also are raising money for a very worthy cause. Smile Train provides free cleft repair surgery and related treatment to children in need. So instead of going out and trying to avoid being trampled by people on Black Friday watch the Pardcast-a-thon and support Smile Train with some donations.

DOCTOR WHO: Series 8 (New Doc on the Block)

by

On August 23rd, with much anticipation and excitement, The Doctor made his long-awaited return; the first episode for the newly regenerated Time Lord. The 12th Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, was the topic of much heated debate on the internets during the show’s hiatus. I chose to adopt a “wait and see” attitude and once again put my trust in the show’s casting geniuses, which so far, had done an outstanding job with their selections.

The series premiere, “Deep Breath” was a fantastical tale woven by Steven Moffat. Set in Victorian London, it features a T-Rex, cyborgs, and the return of the Paternoster Gang. A dear, old friend makes a surprise, emotion-eliciting reappearance as well. The episode’s conclusion introduces the enigmatic, “Missy” (Michelle Gomez), as The Doctor’s nemesis for the series. By the end of this nearly 90 minute rollercoaster ride, I felt confident that everything was going to be alright and all doubters would be subsequently silenced.

And then something happened…
