A perfect send up of Star Trek (2 more)
Extremely quotable
The whole cast are brilliant
A brilliant sci fi comedy
I initially slept on this, and didn't watch it for a really long time, and I'm so sorry I did! It's the perfect spoof of Star Trek, while also being it's own, brilliant story, which is surprisingly in-depth.

If you're a star trek fan, it's excellent... If you're a science fiction fan, it's also excellent. Basically, just watch it, and enjoy.

By Grabthar's Hammer you won't be disappointed. 😁

Entry #14 in James Rollins now long-running Sigma Force series; again a mixture of science and fiction: think Dan Brown, maybe, or even Michael Crichton.

This time around, the threat that Sigma force (and, perforce, the world) faces is one of our own making: that of Artificial Intelligence (or AI), and - more specifically - that of an 'evil' (one with no moral qualms or compunctions) AI let loose. So, think Terminator's Skynet, basically.

If you've read any of the previous entries in the series, you know pretty much what to expect ...

The very first Sherlock Holmes novel, it's interesting reading this to see how the character is pretty much already fully formed, and to compare both Holmes and Watson to the various interpretations of each that follows.

This is where Watson first meets Holmes and takes lodgings with him in 221b Baker Street, and where Holmes science of deductive reasoning is first shared with the former following the investigation into a murder in London, that proves to have ties to the Church of the Latter Day Saints ie the Mormons.
