About Me…
NEW: A Collection of my Canadian Film & TV Essays...
I’ve been writing provocatively on-line since around 1998: about Canadian film/TV, Canadian culture & identity, as well as about comic books and graphic novels. But I also occasionally write fiction, with stories published in Strange Horizons, Daily SF, On Spec, the acclaimed Tesseracts anthology (the 19th volume), and other places over the years. I mention this because I’ve put out a few pulp story collections. And if you enjoy this blog, essays, reviews, and/or any of my websites, one way to show support would be to check out MY FICTION COLLECTIONS and, if they look interesting…buy one! It ain’t PATREON or anything, but it’s a way of showing you think what I’ve been doing is worth doing, and would help keep this blog and the websites up.
End of shameless plug.

Orphan Black — Take Two
My general “policy” when reviewing TV series for my Great Canadian Guide to the Movies and TV site is to watch at least three episodes before setting down an “official” opinion. After all, TV series can take a few episodes … Continue reading
Orphan Black: The Good, The Bad…and The Canadian
Recently the Space Channel has premiered a new sci-fi thriller called Orphan Black — and in a rarity for Canadian TV, it actually seems to be getting a fair amount of press coverage. That may be partly because many of … Continue reading
TV’s Bomb Girls, Lorne Greene…and The Voice of Doom!
Another Huffington Post link: Why Canadians Should be Watching Bomb Girls In which I write a bit about Bomb Girls (and how it’s pretty good), reference Republic of Doyle, talk about rooting stories in their time and place, and point … Continue reading
