Good afternoon, gentle readers, and welcome to February 27, 2024!
How's your Tuesday shaping up for you?
Mine? Why, it's grand, I tell you! Grand!
Now, folks, a little behind-the-scenes info today: Weebly.com ain't exactly playing nice, if you know what I mean. For the last two days, I've had some curious issues with the site hosting company, some of which points to technical issues with the user interface. As an example, I find myself typing posts and properly saving them ... only, lo and behold, when I come back to actually activate the posts live on the MainPage they're showing up curiously empty of any text. So ... disappearing ink? As a consequence, I'm taking things a bit slowly today -- you won't believe the blood boiling in my veins yesterday as about twenty minutes of typing just vanished into the G.D. aether -- so updates might be slim and far between today. I'm having to save content to Microsoft Word files for backup purposes, and -- as you can imagine as well -- that takes a bit of time and slows me down a wee bit.
Thus far this morning, it would appear to be working properly ... but it was working "properly" yesterday until the point arrived wherein it wasn't. Call me cynical, but it's downright frustrating.
However, don't let that information trouble you. I just wanted to give an update for those who do show up each morning expecting some new content. It'll all get up there ... I'm just taking some extra steps to insure that I'm covered in case the weblords eat it all on their own.

I've been told that I don't feature enough individual actors and actors in this humble space, and -- while I might concede that's true -- I'd like to think I do call attention to those who've truly earned their stripes in the realms of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Not every Tom, Dick, Harry, Marcia, Jan, and Cindy deserves (quite frankly) to get a bit of extra coverage, but I do make attempts to provide some balance when and if I think it's warranted.
That being the case ... how about that John Pyper-Ferguson, am I right?
This guy is an amazing, amazing talent that caught my eye back in the early 1990's when he turned up in a largely comic addition to Fox TV's single season serial The Adventures Of Brisco County Jr. His 'Pistol Pete' Hutter was a wonderful recurring bandit, and the guy had a somewhat unhealthy attachment to his six shooter. It was funny portrayal -- one that bordered on parody in just the right balance -- and it couldn't have been done by anyone other than Mr. Pyper-Ferguson.
Since those days, I think his work has been largely more dramatic in nature, and he's definitely turned up in an incredible number of shows, usually in small stints wherein a solid player had to do a bit more with the material given. His turn as a die-hard patriot Tex Nolan was one of the best roles written for TNT's Apocalypse/Drama The Last Ship, and it was equally heartbreaking to see him return after his character's death in a touching finale to the action show. For those of you who haven't seen that series? I'd encourage you to check it out. The last season kinda/sorta veers into questionable territory, but otherwise? Great entertainment.

There's more ... at 64 trivia items strong, there's a lot more ... and this is the point of the post wherein I encourage folks to head on over to the Daily Citation Page and perform your own deep dive. While there's a movie or two celebrating anniversaries today that might deserve a bit of extra coverage, I'll leave that to each of you to explore all on your own.

As always, thank you for reading ... thank you for sharing ... thank you for being a fan ... and live long and prosper!
