CALLING ALL NERDS!

Now, I've already told you guys before that our favorite nerds Curtis and Bobby need our help in letting TBS know we want "King of the Nerds" to come back for a 4th season. There are future nerds, like my 13yo daughter, that need to know that being a nerd is a good thing.

So we need to start tweeting @TBS_TV with #NerdRules & #KOTNs4 and let them know we want our show back. Spread the word. If we get enough nerd voices heard and we get our show back, then I'll show a bra strap.

Get the word out and make our nerd voices heard.

How to get Rene Auberjonois' autograph

Rene Auberjonois, who played Odo on Star Trek Deep Space 9, is giving out his autographed pictures in exchange for donations to Doctors without Borders. I think its a great deal and a win for everyone. Please go to this link.

CALLING ALL NERDS!

Our favorite nerds, Robert "Lewis" Carradine and Curtis "Booger" Armstrong need our help. TBS has not renewed "King of the Nerds" for a 4th season. This is unacceptable! Future nerds, like my daughter who's turning 13 this Saturday, need to be proud of who and what they are. We need shows like this. Please go to this link and make your voice heard.

Sad times

Recently, a racist Caucasian male went into an African-American church shooting and killing 9 people.

People wonder why I love Star Trek so much, this is why. Besides the color of our skin and the texture of our hair, there is no physical difference between us.

Gene Roddenberry's vision for Star Trek was to show that those with major differences are able to work and live together.

We need to be like that in real life. Violence like this will end when we raise our children with love not hate.

LLAP, my friends.

prayers for Nichelle Nichols

I just found out that Nichelle Nichols has had a stroke and is in the hospital. Ms Nichols played Lt Uhura on Star Trek: the Original Series and several Star Trek movies. 

After the show was cancelled, Ms Nichols volunteered with NASA to help recruit more female and minority personal to the space program.

She's also played in other movies and shows, including on of my personal favorites Heroes.

Ms Nichols is also known and loved for her beautiful singing.

A few years ago for my daughter's birthday, Ms Nichols sent her an autographed picture which she still loves and cherishes.

Please pray for Ms Nichols and her family.

FOR THE LOVE OF SPOCK

Leonard Nimoy's son Aaron has been working on a documentary of his father's famous character Spock. Since his passing, Aaron Nimoy has started making it about his father as well. In order to have this done in time for Star Trek's 50th anniversary next year, he's going to need some funding.

The Dead Files Season 7 premiere

Once again I'm stepping away from the sci-fi to talk about my favorite paranormal show, The Dead Files. 

( wickedhonor.com)

I spoke about them once before in this blog post. This is my favorite of all the paranormals because they not only provide answers, but they also provide solutions.

(courtesy of Amy Allan)

This is Amy Allan, she's a physical medium. She'll go to the location (with Matt Anderson in tow) and speak directly to the spirits and/or entities there. I give her props for going in and risk a beating from some of these baddies and talking to the friendlies just to help these families. Amy goes into every location blind. On the show, she says that the dead knows she's coming before she does. It's actually true. She prefers not knowing anything before hand, any piece of information may influence her part of the investigation. She even has Matt go in ahead of her to remove or cover all photographs, religious objects, or personal items. When Amy is done, she works with a sketch artist to draw who or what she has seen.

(Travel Channel)

I once asked Amy on Twitter if she doesn't know where she's going, how does she know what to pack. She said she just packs everything and upsets the airlines with all her luggage. LOL

(courtesy of Amy Allan)

One thing you should know about Amy...she'd better never hear of you provoking the dead for your amusement or any other reason. Things like seances and spirit boards really mess with the dead, not to mention you really don't know who (or what) you're really communicating with. Although, she is an extremely nice and fun person to chat with on Twitter.

(courtesy of Steve Di Schiavi)

This is Amy's partner, former Marine/NYPD detective Stephen Di Schiavi. According to most of the female fans I've talked to, he's the eye-candy of the show. ;)

(courtesy of Steve Di Schiavi)

Steve has devoted more than 21 years of active duty to the New York Police Dept as a homicide detective. He uses his experience and knowledge to interview clients, witnesses, law enforcement, local historians, etc. while doing his own research on the properties history to see if anything of note has happened there.

(courtesy of Steve Di Schiavi)

Steve really does his homework. Even if it doesn't sound like a whole lot of information, he holds on to it. He works hard to find out anything and everything about the property and the people who have lived there or have had ties to it. Steve also tries to get photos of the property and people.

(Pop Culture Addict)

After not communicating at all with each other during the investigation, they come together with the client at the end to reveal what they found out. 

It's freakishly cool how both investigations line up almost perfectly spot on. Steve cracks me up with the faces he makes when Amy talks about her walks, because it's amazing on how accurate she is. This is the part where Amy reveals her sketch(es)... warning, some of these sketches can't be unseen (scary).

(Pop Culture Addict)

At this time, Steve asks Amy if it's safe for the clients to stay or leave. Amy almost never says to leave unless there's absolutely no other options. Usually, she has solutions on how to deal with the problem. This is what I love about this show, Amy tells you how to fight for your home and your family.

Dead Files Season 7 premieres on April 25. Here is my online countdown.

If you haven't seen the show, please do so. If you're not into paranormal stuff...too bad, watch it anyways. I want them to stay on for quite a while.

This show has help so many people beyond those personally who've been on Dead Files. Through just being able to watch, Dead Files has save my life and my relationship with my daughter. From watching Amy, I've learned to stand up to and kick out what was tormenting us for years. From Steve, I've learned that when I'm ready to move again...I'd better damn well do my homework BEFORE I move. Thank you, Dead Files. 

And thank you to the entire crew at the Dead Files. If it wasn't for all of your hard work, there'd be no show to watch.

I asked some fans what they thought of the Dead Files:

"Best paranormal team ever."

"I love the ying/yang of these investigations. Amy feels it, and Steve gets the facts. Between them, we get the whole story."

"Awesome show with real people that need help by a great team."

"The Dead Files have a great team work from the detective and research standpoint and from medium connection to the ghost and spirits. It makes a great show. Never has there been a team like this going out mainly to help families in need."

My daughter (the artist) is even excited about the new season.

(courtesty of my daughter)

Please share this blog with anyone you might know who'd love this show as well. Thank you.

Found this comic strip, thought it was cute.

CSI: Cyber

There's a new show on CBS called CSI: Cyber. It is an amazing addition to the CSI franchise. It has the great police action drama we love, but these crimes are done using some wicked technology. Patricia Arquette plays the team's leader Avery Ryan and totally rocks her new role. CSI: Cyber airs tonight (Wednesdays) on CBS at 10/9Central. Watch it with me tonight. ☺

Prayers for Harrison Ford

One of our favorite Star Wars stars was injured in a plane crash. Sending prayers.

The Dead Files

This morning, I'm pulling away from my usual Sci-Fi and geekiness for a bit to talk about my favorite paranormal show The Dead Files. The Dead Files airs Saturday nights on the Travel Channel after Ghost Adventures. Their new season starts April 25 (mark your calendar).

The Dead Files is totally different from other paranormal shows. They don't go in trying to get EVPs or video evidence to prove a place is haunted. These investigations are done by a pair of partners who don't communicate until the end when they provide their results to each other and the clients.

 Amy Allen is a medium who does a "walk" followed by Matthew Anderson on camera. She will go through the location and discusses what she sees, hears, feels, and senses. Amy will communicate with the dead and/or other entities there.

 Steve Di Schiavi is a former Marine and NYPD dectective. He speaks to the clients, witnesses, and anyone with information about the location. Steve also does research on the property and surrounding areas to find out if something has happened there in the past.

At the end, Steve and Amy get together with the clients to provide the information they found. They seem to shock each other on how dead on their information usually lines up. This also comes to the point that really makes me love this show. Not only do they give answers to what and why things are happening, Amy also provides a solution. She tells the clients what they can do to cleanse the area and/or protect themselves.

If you haven't seen this show yet, give it a chance. They are Saturday nights on the Travel Channel. The new season begins April 25, and the first two seasons are currently on Netflix.
