Yes, yes, and yes: it goes without saying that, yes, there's been a brief delay in any updates to the SciFiHistory.Net MainPage ... and that's because I was on vacation, folks. No, I didn't put up a post announcing that I was going on a brief vacation, and that's because I rarely do that. I know I have in the post, but with the increase of identity theft and whatnot I just have tried to avoid making huge statements to that effect. Instead, I slipped out while no one was watching, and I enjoyed a few days of rest and relaxation in the Great American Nowhere.
Literally: I got lost.
Briefly.
We went on a nature hike. We took a wrong turn. We got turned around. It happens. And it was only for an hour or so, and I say, "No big deal." Having taken a few trips into the wild, I'll confess it wasn't the first time ... and it likely won't be the last.
But ... I'm back at the SciFiHistory.Net News Desk this morning trying to catch up on a few notes and whatnot, so keep your eyes peeled, gentle readers. I'll get an item or two up today -- maybe even a few more on Saturday or Sunday depending upon developments -- so just calm down.
For those of you paying attention, I really haven't had all that much to say about the demise of Star Wars. No, I didn't watch The Acolyte. In fact, we cancelled our Disney+ subscription once Star Wars: The Bad Batch ended. (No, I wasn't that thrilled with that finale, either.) I try -- whenever possible -- to avoid certain spectres of negativity, and Lucasfilm under Kathleen Kennedy's watch has been little more than a growing slate of disappointment ... but because I keep getting asked I promise I'll pen something shortly. The biggest obstacle is having something to say that others haven't already said, you know? It's pretty clear that our beloved franchise is in the proverbial sh#tter, so, yes, I'm just as disappointed as are all of you.
Yet ... I'm back at it, kiddies. Vacation is over, and some thoughful reflection on Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror will commence again.
As always, thanks for reading!
