great read

"You're confusion, that's what you are"
When i was a young kid i once watched a ship captain battle a race of people calling themselves the 'Talosians'. They scared the crap out of me with their fat ass heads. I couldn't comprahend what was actually happening to Pike and his crew but i knew something was happening, something wonderful.
Just like Kubrick.
More recently , i felt the same way watching that gravity bending Library scene with spaceman McConaughey.
Reading about Ryons latest space breakdown, onboard his ship,has my inner child screaming what the actual frak once again.
Cosmic Terror reminds me of a Trek flashback , rewatching McCoy descend into his drug induced madness on the edge of forever, only this time he's high on Venom. The problem is, Sams not giving us wholesome Roddenberry this adventure. This time it's fracking Kurtzman, with his potty mouth chatacters running amok along the metal service tunnels. Jacked up crew members, like Geldi,or idriss, who sound like they have come straight from the set of the latest Gen Z dating show, all cussing and flexing and ready to dry hump anyone floating by without their gravity boots on.
Now Sam writes some awesome stories and i'm a big fan of his poetry, always have been. i just wished he would have eased up on the juvenile schoolyard swearing a little this instalment and given us more of his insane hallucinations and mind bending naked lunch depravity he's so good at.
Cheers for the read.
