Star Wars The Clone Wars: Wild Space

I found Star Wars The Clone Wars: Wild Space entertaining, but parts of it annoying. It makes for an enjoyable audiobook listen, but there are better Star Wars books.

The book is a spin-off of the Clone Wars TV series. Even though I enjoyed the TV series, the story doesn't necessarily rise above it, and I expect more from a book. It feels like it is part of a mass produced series, and this doesn't inspire me to read more of the series.

The second thing that bothered me is the petty politics and bickering between Bail Organa and Obi-Wan Kenobi. This runs counter to what we know about these characters.

Finally, the main story about the Sith Holocron haunting Obi-Wan Kenobi did not seem logical. Bail Organa and Obi-Wan should have bailed at the first sign of trouble, instead of plunging into their likely destruction. Hearing "Die Jedi, Die Jedi, Die Jedi!" over and over was too annoying.

Rating: B-

Star Wars: Darth Plagueis Kills Darth Tenebrous

This video closely follows the opening of the Darth Plagueis novel, which I listened to as an audiobook. Darth Plagueis was the master of Emperor Palpatine. In the movie Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine talks about killing Plagueis in his sleep.

I also listened to the Darth Bane trilogy, whose events took place long before this novel. Bane established the Sith "Rule of Two," which means that there should always be just one master and one apprentice. He eliminated the other Sith and took on a new apprentice. His unusual goal was that the apprentice should eventually kill and replace the master, or die trying.

Some of the mythology of Star Wars is explored and expanded upon in surprising ways in the different animated series.

I can't believe that they would do this. Sounds like a mixture of old and newer Star Trek themes.

Star Trek: Voyager: Blink of an Eye

 https://pluto.tv/us/shows/1560005/episode/63eec7bad3b02d001323e81c/

Star Trek: Voyager was a mixed bag, but "Blink of an Eye" was one of the best episodes of the entire series​, and the highest rated on IMDB.  I wanted to see it again, so I watched it on Pluto TV. It's free on that service, but it has many annoying commercials. I deal with the commercials by multitasking; I do something else while they're playing.

​The episode originally aired in January 2000, making it feel a little dated.  The special effects and sets seem minimalistic.

One of the guest actors on the show is Daniel Dae Kim, who would later become famous for LOST and Hawaii 5-0.

Star Trek Just KILLED Another Series...

It very much appeared that the show Strange New Worlds was leading up to a possible reboot of the original Star Trek series, because it recast actors for Kirk, Kirk's brother, Uhura, Spock, Scotty, and Doctor Boyce who was in the very first Star Trek pilot.

This would have been great.

We Are Legion (We are Bob) by Dennis Taylor: A One-Minute Book Review

If you like science fiction, I can't recommend this enough, especially the audiobook.

I am about to finish the 5th book and purchase the 6th. The serial story is supposed to end with the 7th book, which is currently being written, although the author has said that standalone books might be released in the future.

The books have a bunch of nerdy references used for humor, especially references to Star Trek.

Audible is very good at offering free trials because they want you to subscribe to their service. I've taken advantage of this for years. I'll get a free trial for one to three months, occasionally pay for a month, and then cancel the service. A few months will go by, and then Audible will offer me another free trial.  

Amazon Prime will do the same thing, usually offering a free trial ranging from a week to a month. I found out that if I don't accept their one-week offer, they will eventually offer me a free month. It helps that I am a regular Amazon customer because they only make the offers during a purchase.

This echoes pooints I have seen in other videos.  Long distance space travel seems too dangerous.   Even going to Mars is very risky.

I have long speculated that in some distant future we might send android robots, with human personalties, to the stars.  By coincindence, I'm listening to the "Bobiverse" audio book series about that same topic.
