*Honorable Mention: With very little Star Trek novels to read this past year, I’ve been reading several time travel novels.

2018 Favorite Geek Moments:

5. Elseworlds on the CW was probably the best crossover yet with the CW DC superhero shows.

4. Really enjoying reviewing all the Star Trek movies this year and talking about it with our co-hosts and guest hosts.

3. Hitting Farpoint and Shoreleave and seeing our old friends, meeting celebrity guests and making new friends.

2. Star Trek coming back to the small screen.  I think Discovery is a worthy member of the Star Trek universe.

1. Meeting and getting a picture of William Shatner himself.   Captain Kirk was really my first superhero and Star Trek was my first foray into sci-fi.  The meeting was brief but very pleasant.

 

2019 Top Anticipated Moments:

*Honorable Mention:  Orville Season 2

5.  The new Star Trek Jean Luc Picard show.

4. Movies: Avengers Endgame,  X Men Dark Phoenix, Captain Marvel,   Shazam

3.  Going to Farpoint and Shoreleave.

2. Continuing to record the Sci-Fi Diner PodCast and geek out about our favorite sci-fi that we enjoy.

1. Star Trek Discovery: Season 2.  This looks like it will even be more enjoyable than season 1.

 

Sci-fi Diner Top 5:

5. Cons
4. Star Trek to the small screen
3. Star Wars Solo
2. Avengers: Infinity War
1. Adding two new cohosts

 

Biggest disappointments  this year:
