No More Need To Be Kind…I Mean Rewind
If you ask my wife, she’ll tell you I’m a very nostalgic person.

The Killer Idol: Sons of Anarchy and the Worship of Family.
(POSSIBLE SPOILERS) As a writer, I get behind in watching TV shows. It’s the nature of deadlines and people wanting things yesterday. For example, I’ve yet to watch one episode of Breaking Bad.

GGR Music Review: Stryper – “No More Hell To Pay”
From Geek Goes Rogue TV Editor Zach W. Lorton, who is slowly crawling out of his cave after Daylight Savings Time thought it necessary to end… The name Stryper is thrown around the rock world today with both reverence and derision.

Viewer’s Block: Breaking Bad Ruined Television For Me
From Geek Goes Rogue TV Editor Zach W. Lorton, breaking his code of silence after nearly a month… Why am I still talking about Breaking Bad? The end of this landmark drama took its toll on me. Battlestar Galactica excited me. Heroes held me in awe, at least in the first season, anyway. Chuck entertained me and prodded [Read More...]
The Magic of God?
As I’ve discussed before, as much as I love reading, it takes me a little longer to get through huge volumes than it might for the average reader. As a result, delving into the seven-book Harry Potter collection (four of which are the size of Webster’s Dictionaries) seemed more than a little daunting. But after [Read More...]

Why Reformation Day is Dumb…
Reformation Day is Dumb. There, I’ve said it. I’ve been wanting to say it for as long as I can remember. As many of you recall, I just resigned my Presbyterian ordination back in April. It was not an “I’m angry at Evangelicals” decision. It was a deeper, more profound reconnection with the Catholicism of [Read More...]
