The Future is Calling. Recap: Castle – “Time Will Tell”

Despite the title of this episode, “Time Will Tell,” being downright stolen from Alias season one, I wholeheartedly enjoyed this playful episode of Castle! Not only does it feature a pretty geek-tastic storyline, it also blatantly foreshadows plenty of Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) future life accomplishments and guest star Joshua Gomez (Chuck) plays a lovable, yet certifiable “time-traveler” named Simon Doyle. ”Time Will Tell” reminded me of some previous plucky Castle classics circa season one and season two.

Book Review – “Sky’s End: Book One in the Cassiel Winters Series” by Lesley Young

Sky’s End is an engaging and stimulating point of view of the intergalactic frontier sprinkled with a dash of mystery, intrigue, and romance. As a fan of the sci-fi genre, I was more than a little intrigued given the fact the book is written by a woman. Most of the sci-fi I’ve read has been written from a male perspective. And the romance aspect of Sky’s End also fascinated me.
