Not too long ago I wrote this post about shows you should be streaming. And with almost no overlap (Bosch), I realized I could write one on the things I’m watching now.You can click on this link to go to last week’s post, which included my thoughts on Halo, Outer Range, Star Trek: Discovery, and Star Trek: Picard: With a little more on one of those today. But let’s look at even more!Star Trek: Strange New WorldsI’m gonna start with the biggest one for me. I have raved many a time about Anson Mount’s terrific performance as Cullen Bohannon in Hell on Wheels. Which you read about here at Black Gate, of course… Fantastic performance on a great show.And then, Mount played Captain Christopher Pike on season two of Star Trek: Discovery. Pike, as played by Jeffrey Hunter, was the original captain of the Enterprise in the pilot, Caged. However, the part was recast with William Shatner, and Trek history would be made.Mount was simply superb in the part. Season two of Discovery is my single favorite season of any Star Trek show. Mount delivered a tour de force. Bohannon was a man of honor, but not in a conventional sense. Mount was again a man of courage and conviction, but in a nobler way (I think). He was so stellar in the part that the powers that be decided to give him his own spin-off in the Trek-verse.And so was created Strange New Worlds, which dropped the pilot on May 5. The intro is classic Trek, and I love it. The first episode laid the groundwork to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before.Ethan Peck (Spock) and Rebecca Romijn (Number One) reprise their roles from Discovery. The events of Discovery (and The Cage) have understandably shaken Pike, and he’s on self-imposed leave as the series begins. But he is reluctantly pulled back to duty to find a missing Star Fleet Officer, lost on a secret mission.Mount is my favorite current actor (hopefully you know who my all-time favorite actor is – if not, you definitely don’t follow me on FB; or missed a couple posts here about him), and I’m certainly predisposed to liking this show. And the pilot worked for me.Obviously, it has to work within the framework of Canon (Wild Ret-conning would be disappointing). And Pike’s history is certainly established. So, curious to see how they work through what is a tragic story. They already started exploring that (I don’t think I’d say ‘tinkering.’ Yet…) in this first episode.I’ve been waiting for this show since they announced it. I’ll watch as much of Mount as Pike, as Paramount is willing to make. I’d love to see an untold adventure, as a two-hour movie. Give me Strange New Worlds, indeed.And seeing him with a beard, on a horse, during the intro, was pretty cool for us Hell on Wheels fans.Star Trek: PicardI wrote about Picard here. Plus, last week’s post. Specifically, here, and here. I barely struggled through season one, which was SOOOOOO slow and plodding. I was actually bored until Jeri Ryan showed up. But as I said a few weeks ago, bringing in Q (my favorite Trek-verse character) completely sucked me in for season two.SPOILER – Just move on to the next section on Bosch if you don’t want to know anything about season two.Along with bringing back Jeri Ryan, season two gives us Brent Spiner, Whoopi Goldberg, and even (briefly) Wil Wheaton. And we had already gotten Jonathon Frakes and Marina Sirtis in season one. Some of those Next Generation veterans were different than the first time around, and that was a nice twist.John de Lancie was terrific as an older, more experienced Q. He was always my favorite part of a TNG episode when he appeared, and it was great to get more of him, and his relationship with Picard. I was very happy with that story line. The Q Continuum was mentioned in the latest season of Discovery, though it didn’t actually play a part.There will be a season three of Picard, though several of the regular cast members will not be returning. I quite liked season two, and will be back for more.Bosch: LegacyAnd I’ve written about Bosch here, and here. I’ve not read Michael Connolly’s best-selling books, but I thought that the series was absolutely terrific. Last year, they wrapped things up after seven seasons and sixty-eight episodes. It remained a strong show to the last, and it even ended with an unexpected humorous closing scene.That scene set up a successor show. I don’t really feel like it’s a spin-off, because it’s a direct continuation of Bosch. Bosch (wonderfully played by Titus Welliver) leaves the force and goes into business as a private eye. That’s the premise of Legacy. If you’ve seen the trailer, he’s still a guy fighting for what’s right: Everyone matters, or no one matters. But he’s not constrained by all the rules he dealt with as a cop.I’m reminded of a line from my favorite Western, Tombstone – “You tell ‘em I’m coming…and hell’s coming with me.” I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of the new Bosch.Mimi Rogers is back as Honey Chandler, and Bosch’s daughter Maddie is a rookie cop on the force. I was happy to see William Devane, as a client. He’s long been one of my favorite actors. And to address what has to be THE question on everyone’s minds: Yes, Crate and Barrel are back! Though, they only appear a few times, and are not regulars. But still – any sighting of them will be appreciated.Season one will have ten episodes, and it certainly looks like Welliver is going to deliver another Bosch experience. He seems a little more human, dare I say, a teeny, tiny bit, more blasé. But he’s still Bosch. I’m very excited about this one.It’s streaming on FreeeVee (formerly IMDB TV), and they dropped four episodes right out of the gate! I watched the first one, and it’s exactly what we want – more of Bosch being Bosch. It already picked up a season two before airing the first episode.I’m a fan of Robert B. Parker’s Western novels featuring Cole and Hitch. There was a very good movie (Appaloosa) starring Ed Harris and Viggo Mortenson. You can read my thoughts on that here. Harris was a good Virgil Cole. It’s too bad they didn’t make a couple more with those two.Welliver read the first several audibooks in the series. And he is superb. Hollywood is TOTALLY missing out on a great opportunity here.Death in ParadiseLet’s head on over to BritBox for one of my favorite shows. Back in December, I talked about this show and the next one, (along with a few others), as I dug into my BritBox sub through Prime. Go ahead and read that. It’s not very long.There was a first-ever Christmas episode (including the return of a beloved character), and then an eight episode season 11, wrapping up on February 25 of t his year. The show only dropped on BritBox for us Americans, last week. And only two so far, at that. But hey – it’s back! From my prior post:The basic premise is that Scotland Yard assigns a DCI (Detective Chief Inspector) to duty on the island of Saint Marie (pronounced ‘San Marie’), located in the Lesser Antilles. Saint Marie was turned over to the British by the French roughly forty years before the show starts. So, it still has a French-Caribbean culture.So, you’ve got the classic ‘fish out-of-water scenario. It’s an amusing show, with complex plots. More than any show I’ve ever watched, this one turns over main cast members. Among the four-person police unit at Honore, (not counting the big boss), there have been nearly a dozen cast changes. That’s a LOT of turnover! With one notable exception, I’ve liked all the characters, so they do a nice job with the changes. But don’t get TOO attached to anybody!Season eleven had yet another change, which wasn’t a surprise, given prior events. Fortunately, the same DCI is back, so that’s good.Sometimes, it seems like they are stretching things a bit to make an hour-long episode, and they ‘suddenly’ solve the crime near the end. But it works. And the show keeps your interest throughout. Watching the police do their jobs, and interact throughout the episode, is entertaining. I really enjoyed the Christmas special, so I’m excited we’ve finally got the new season here.Back when season eleven was green-lit, they went ahead and committed to a twelfth season as well, so there’s more to come!While I’m a big fan of the next show; and I really enjoyed the Doctor Blake Mysteries before the star was blackballed, I recommend Death in Paradise over any other BritBox show I watch. It’s just a treat, season after season.Shakespeare & HathawayIn that same post I mentioned above, I talked about this show. Man, do I enjoy Shakespeare & Hathaway. Go ahead and read the short piece I wrote on it back in December. Here’s the basic set-up:Mark Benton is Frank Hathaway, a former cop who retired and became a private eye. He’s a big, mildly sloppy guy. I think that Benton would be an ideal Falstaff, and I like the way he plays Hathaway.Luella Shakespeare (Jo Joyner) is a hairdresser whose fiance is murdered on their wedding day, and she’s the chief suspect. She helps solve the crime and ends up buying in to the perpetually under-funded Hathaway’s business.Season four is slowly dropping on BritBox. There have been 40 episodes of this one so far, and it hasn’t yet received a pickup for season five. I certainly hope it does so. This show has a charm unlike anything else I watch. The interaction between the two is a treat. There’s one police chief, who is a total jerk and frankly, drags down the episodes. He’s completely one-dimensional. It was better when he was the junior partner in a duo. But that’s quibbling.I don’t really watch any other show that is fun in the way which this one is. There’s almost always a murder, but every episode has a light tone. It never devolves into parody or farce, though. This one just feels refreshing. I’ve really come to like Benton, who I think would clean up very nicely into a British Nero Wolfe.Along with the other shows I mentioned in the open, an awful lot of streaming out there. I’m also working through the most recent season of ST: Discovery, and nearing the end of my first watch of White Collar (great show!).Some previous entries on things to watch:What I’m Been Watching:- April 2022 (Outer Range, Halo, Why Didn’t They Ask Evans, and more)When USA Network was Kicking Major Butt (Monk, Psych, Burn Notice)You Should be Streaming These Shows (Corba Kai, The Expanse, Bosch, and more)What I’m BritBoxing – December 2021 (Death in Paradise, Shakespeare & Hathaway, The Blake Mysteries, and more)To Boldly Go – Star Treking – (Various Star Trek incarnations)What I’ve Been Watching – August 2021 (Monk, The Tomorrow War, In Plain Sight, and more)What I’m Watching – June 2021 (Get Shorty, Con Man, Thunder in Paradise, and more)Tucker and Dale vs. EvilWhat I’ve Been Watching – June 2021 (Relic Hunter, Burn Notice, Space Force, and more)AppaloosaPsych of the DeadThe MandalorianWhat I’m Watching: 2020 – Part Two (My Name is Bruce, Sword of Sherwood Forest, Isle of Fury, and more)What I’m Watching 2020: Part One (The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, Poirot, Burn Notice, and more)Philip Marlowe: Private EyeLeverageNero Wolfe – The Lost PilotDavid Suchet’s ‘Poirot’Sherlock Holmes (over two dozen TV shows and movies)Bob Byrne’s ‘A (Black) Gat in the Hand’ made its Black Gate debut in the summer of 2018 and will be back yet again in 2022.His ‘The Public Life of Sherlock Holmes’ column ran every Monday morning at Black Gate from March, 2014 through March, 2017.

BusbyVintage Treasures: Zelde M’Tana by F.M. Busby Sunday, May 8, 2022 John ONeill Comments 0 CommentZelde M’Tana (Dell, May 1980). Cover uncreditedF.M. Busby was a prolific SF writer in the 70s and 80s, with a number of popular series, including the Demu Trilogy and the Slow Freight trilogy. But his most ambitious sequence was Rissa Kerguelen, the tale of a young leader who leads a rebellion against a tyrannical Earth, which ran to eight volumes. It’s been out of print since the 80s. The book I want to talk about today is the final one in the sequence, a prequel of sorts, which focused on the origin of one of its most popular characters, Zelde M’Tana.Zelde M’Tana is memorable for a lot of reasons. But the most obvious is that it featured a Black heroine on the cover, extremely unusual for a mass market paperback in 1980 (and, frankly, for the next 30 years). It’s one of the first times I can recall seeing a Black protagonist on a cover, and it certainty stuck out. I can’t recall exactly what I thought, but I’m reasonably sure that I took it as a marketing statement, a signal that the book was targeted for a Black audience, and I let it sit on the shelf while my eye wandered towards more comfortably familiar covers with white protagonists.There’s a word in the English language for people like me, White folks who avoided books with Black people on the covers for reasons of simple unfamiliarity. That word is racist. … Read More Read MoreA Mecca for Book Hunters: The Chicago Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention, 2022A Mecca for Book Hunters: The Chicago Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention, 2022 Saturday, May 7, 2022 John ONeill Comments 9 commentsA few $1 magazines in near-mint condition I purchased today at Windy City Pulp & PaperI just returned from Doug Ellis’s Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention, exhausted but happy.I’ve been attending Windy City here in Chicago for nearly 20 years. It’s the premier show in the country for pulp and paperback collectors, and the main Exhibit Hall is an inexhaustible Cave of Wonders for anyone who loves vintage books, comics, artwork, pulps, science fiction and fantasy, new pulp, old DVDs, collectibles of all kinds — or just hanging out and talking with like-minded collectors and enthusiasts.Over the years Windy City has become my favorite local convention. It’s a wonderful place to connect with friends and fellow Black Gate contributors, folks like Rich Horton, Howard Andrew Jones, Steven H. Silver, Bob Byrne, Doug Ellis. E.E. Knight, John C. Hocking, Barbara Barrett, and many others. But the main draw is that marvelous Exhibit Hall, where you can find almost anything you want, no matter how rare or unusual. And if what you love is book bargains (or to, say, literally carpet your entire kitchen floor with dollar books), then you are definitely in luck. … Read More Read MoreNew Treasures: DMR presents TERRA INCOGNITA: Lost Worlds of Fantasy and AdventureNew Treasures: DMR presents TERRA INCOGNITA: Lost Worlds of Fantasy and Adventure Friday, May 6, 2022 SELindberg Comments 0 CommentDoug Draa’s Terra Incognita.

BlaylockA Tale of ‘Possums and Pigs:The Last Coin by James P. Blaylock Friday, May 6, 2022 Fletcher Vredenburgh Comments 2 comments “…One pig to rule them all, One pig to bind them, One pig to bring them all and on the pier-end find them In Seal Beach, on the Coast.” William Ashbless Myths of the Pacific CoastHow does one describe one of one’s favorite books? How does one describe a book that he and nearly everyone he knew who read it experienced tremendous joy and satisfaction from reading it? How does one describe a book he enjoyed so much he feared any future works by its author might detract something from that book’s perfection? Well, first, he needs to stop writing about himself in the third person, because that’s rarely good. Then he needs simply to write, “Read The Last Coin and you will have read one of the most charming and joyful books I’ve ever read.”My friend Carl started me down the path of becoming a James P. Blaylock reader when he tossed me an already worn copy of The Digging Leviathan (1984 — his third book. His first two, The Elfin Ship and The Disappearing Dwarf I’ve reviewed here on Black Gate.) With its cabals of conspiracists, hollow Earth theorizing, and besuited axolotls, I was completely enchanted with the book’s story of two boys in California in the middle of the last century in search of a connection with their absent or missing fathers. It’s rougher than his later novels, but here Blaylock was already introducing many of the tropes, and even characters he would revisit throughout his career.When his next book, Homunculus (1986) came out, I ordered a copy from the long-gone local book store, The Book Nook, something I rarely did. It’s one of the books K.W. Jeter was thinking of — the others being his own Morlock Night and Tim Powers’s The Anubis Gates — when he coined the portmanteau steampunk in a letter to Locus magazine. I enjoyed the book, which turned out to be the beginning of the ongoing adventures of Victorian inventor-cum-explorer Langdon St. Ives and the villainous hunchback, Dr. Ignacio Narbondo. … Read More Read MoreGoth Chick News: When God and Satan Came to Earth as CatsGoth Chick News: When God and Satan Came to Earth as Cats Thursday, May 5, 2022 Sue Granquist Comments 3 commentsThis might be the best news I’ve heard since Michael Bay dropped his idea to remake The Birds.If you’re not already familiar with The Oatmeal, it’s a webcomic and humor site created in 2009 by cartoonist Matthew Inman. Inman posts original comics, quizzes, and occasional articles, most of which make me laugh outload, and occasionally snort my beverage out my nostrils. As someone who deliberately and desperately avoided parenthood, one of my all-time favorites is Having a Baby vs. Having a Cat which contains the immortal line, “Babies come shrieking into this world as selfish, amniotic, jam-covered goblins; whereas cats come into this world as kittens, which are independent, adorable, and not at all goblin-like.”Genius.But Inman has also produced a series of related books and games, one of which is a card game called Exploding Kittens. Originally proposed as a Kickstarter project seeking $10,000 in crowdfunding, it exceeded the goal in eight minutes, and on January 27, 2015, seven days after opening, it passed 103,000 backers setting the record for the most backers in Kickstarter history. When the Exploding Kittens campaign closed on February 19, 2015, it had $8,782,571 in pledges, contributed by 219,382 backers. … Read More Read MoreRandom Reviews: “The Modern Cyrano” by Stephen BaxterRandom Reviews: “The Modern Cyrano” by Stephen Baxter Thursday, May 5, 2022 Steven H Silver Comments 1 commentThe Hunters of Pangaea, Cover by Richard HescoxNot only did Stephen Baxter win the first Sidewise Award for Best Short Story and the second Sidewise Award for Best Novel, but he went on to serve on the Sidewise Award jury for several years, so he has very strong alternate history credentials. His short story “The Modern Cyrano” is subtle alternate history set during the middle of the nineteenth century.Written as a series of entries in Queen Victoria’s journal during the period from September 1849 through May 1851, Baxter details the deaths of two of Prince Albert’s close friends and Victoria’s political allies. In the pages of her diary, Victoria plays amateur sleuth, noting down the details of their deaths as well as an accusation raised in both cases that the unexpected death of George Anson and the accidental death of Lord Palmerston were both caused by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who was nearby around the time of both deaths.In the 1850s of Baxter’s tale, Brunel, in addition to the massive engineering projects he was undertaking in our world, including the Great Exhibition, Brunel is also experimenting with a form of rocket. His push to move England forward has stuck in the craw of Charles Sibthorp, an ultraconservative member of Parliament who wanted England to remain the way it was in his youth in the 1700s. An antagonist to Prince Albert, Sibthorp views anything to support the Great Exhibition as an evil to be fought against.The story’s arc is pretty straight forward from the moment the characters are introduced, but the enjoyment of the story comes from the combination of reading Victoria’s diary and seeing her putting the clues together and a nineteenth century Nancy Drew and the side notes that Baxter includes to provide the reader with the context needed to fully understand the characters and motivations. He has managed to incorporate his “data dumps” into the story in a realistic and entertaining way. … Read More Read MoreEllsworth’s Cinema of Swords: The Barbarian Boom, Part 5Ellsworth’s Cinema of Swords: The Barbarian Boom, Part 5 Wednesday, May 4, 2022 Lawrence Ellsworth Comments 5 commentsRed Sonja (1985)The Barbarian Boom has now arrived at 1985, the trough at the low point of the arc, the rotten apples at the bottom of the barrel. What can I say? These are stinkers. At least the first two, Lost Kingdom and the notorious Red Sonja, have got parts that are so jaw-droppingly dumb that you can have fun pointing at them and hooting. However, Barbarian Queen is a movie that genuinely offends Your Cheerful Editor, which isn’t easy to do. Ugh. As always, your mileage may vary, but I don’t think anyone can champion these particular movies as genuinely good. Fortunately, the only direction from this nadir is up, as the fantasy genre slowly climbs toward the quality and respectability it will reach in, oh, fifteen years with the Peter Jackson Tolkien films. … Read More Read MoreReturn to the Middle Sea in All the Seas of the World by Guy Gavriel KayReturn to the Middle Sea in All the Seas of the World by Guy Gavriel Kay Tuesday, May 3, 2022 David B. Coe Comments 6 commentsAll the Seas of the World (Berkley, May 17, 2022)What does it mean to be an exile? How does that meaning bend across lines of nationality, of gender, of religion? How many different ways can being exiled shape, define, ruin, or even save a life?This is just one set of questions raised by All the Seas of the World, the newest novel from master fantasy author Guy Gavriel Kay. The novel, Kay’s fifteenth, comes from Berkley and will be released on May 17, 2022.All the Seas of the World is the third in a sequence of novels set in the lands around the Middle Sea, Kay’s reimagining of the Mediterranean region of Europe and North Africa, in a time period akin to the early Renaissance. The first novel set in this time and place, Children of Earth and Sky, actually takes place after the second installment, A Brightness Long Ago. This third novel is placed chronologically between the two. Kay prefers not to refer to the books as a trilogy, and with reason. Though related, and featuring recurring characters, each book stands alone. Taken together, the stories here fit into a world history Kay began to build with The Lions of Al-Rassan (1995), and built upon in Sailing to Sarantium and Lord of Emperors (1998 and 2000), and The Last Light of the Sun (2004). … Read More Read MoreWhat I’m Watching – April 2022What I’m Watching – April 2022 Monday, May 2, 2022 Bob Byrne Comments 12 commentsOuter RangeA couple weeks ago, I did a post on the marvelous, no longer with us, Terry Pratchett. That included a British miniseries for The Color of Magic, which freely adapted parts from the first three novels. Starring Sean Astin and Tim Curry, I liked it.Then last week, I did an in-depth look at three USA Network shows which I liked, from the glory years. Monk, Psych, and Burn Notice. So, while I’m in this kind of mood, figured I’d talk about some of the stuff I’m streaming/watching lately as well. I don’t actually watch ANY network television any more. I think Moms was the last show I tuned in to. I did like The Unicorn, with the amazingly talented Wilton Goggins (Justified), but just sort of drifted away from that. I do want to get back on board with Nathan Fillion’s The Rookie.Oh well – between Prime, current streaming shows, and my DVD collection (it’s always Bogie time!), don’t feel like I’m missing anything.This is an Amazon Original, dropping episodes weekly. It stars Josh Brolin. I’m a fan of both him and his dad – they do rugged SO well. Being a Robert E. Howard fan, I’m familiar with the Weird Western sub-genre. And this one is also a crime show – sort of. Six of eight episodes have dropped. … Read More Read MorePosts navigation OLDER POSTS HOMESearchThe Silistra QuartetGet Back Issues of Black GateRecent CommentsThomas Parker on A Mecca for Book Hunters: The Chicago Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention, 2022John ONeill on A Mecca for Book Hunters: The Chicago Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention, 2022Thomas Parker on A Mecca for Book Hunters: The Chicago Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention, 2022John ONeill on A Mecca for Book Hunters: The Chicago Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention, 2022Tony Den on A Mecca for Book Hunters: The Chicago Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention, 2022silentdante on A Mecca for Book Hunters: The Chicago Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention, 2022John ONeill on A Mecca for Book Hunters: The Chicago Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention, 2022John ONeill on A Mecca for Book Hunters: The Chicago Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention, 2022Winter’s King by Ursula K.
