Thoughts From the Gilligan's Island Episode Meet the Meteor (1966)

-

Synopsis: A meteorite crashes onto the island and, when its cosmic rays cause everything around it to age at a rapid pace, the castaways must find a way to destroy it before it kills them. Their only chance is an approaching electrical storm and even that requires striking the meteorite with lightning. My Thoughts: What happened to the island's underground gases?  When a World War II mine landed on the island, the Professor ( Russell Johnson ) insisted the mine would set off a chain reaction if it exploded because of the gas chambers. Yet that meteorite had a much larger explosion when it hit, and nothing happened. Wow, the Skipper ( Alan Hale, Jr ) sure didn't know a whole lot about meteorites. In addition to referring to it as a meteor rather than the proper term, he insisted it was part of a star. I'll chalk part of it up to this show being on the air when space travel was still relatively new but am still a bit disappointed the Professor didn't at least attempt to...

Book Review: The Lady from the Black Lagoon by Mallory O'Meara (2019)

Synopsis: Milicent Patrick lived a full life in Hollywood. She worked in the animation department for Walt Disney, spent some time working as a model and, most famously, helped design the Gill Man costume for Creature from the Black Lagoon . However, because of her gender, most of her accomplishments, including that last one, have been erased from history and/or claimed by men. In this non-fiction biography, the author chases down Milicent's lost legacy and helps her reclaim credit for her work. Review: I love classic monster movies, but I am almost equally a fan of the history surrounding a lot of those classic films. So, when I learned about The Lady from the Black Lagoon, I decided to request a copy from my library and give it a read. I was not disappointed. Truth-be-told, I never heard the name Milicent Patrick before reading this book but, as it turns out, there is good reason for that - as much as she accomplished in her time in Hollywood, including one of the most iconic m...

My Thoughts from the Green Bay Packers at the New England Patriots (11/8/2026)

 Here are my thoughts from today's Green Bay Packers' 45-27 win at the New England Patriots: That was a great quick start by the Packers. They capitalized on the early interception by Xavier McKinney and then made it look easy as they moved downfield on that second drive then eventually went up 17-0. Loved to see that because it set the right tone and gave them a buffer for later in the game, when the Patriots made some big plays of their own. So, what do we think of Matthew Golden now? I remember a lot of "fans" calling him a bust after his rookie year but he's quickly growing into a top receiver. That second scoring drive was all him. We can't forget about Christian Watson either. I thought for sure, with a broken rib, he'd have a limited impact in this game but that wasn't the case, making just as much of an impact as Golden throughout. And Savion Williams makes three. There doesn't seem to be anything Williams can't do, whether it is run...
