For all that Griffin was not, in the end he offered a water-logged little clue. And thanks to Ben Stone’s nimble mind and Olive’s considerable skills, the pig that was Griffin (played with joyful self-interest by Marc Menchaca. Loved this character even as I loathed him) told us something about our Flight 828 passengers — […]
It was something of old home week on Star Trek: Discovery this week. We had some fun visitors return to the scene, one gleefully, one tortured, and one just happy to escape. ‘Saints of Imperfection’ was a wonderfully taut and nervy bit of storytelling by our Discovery team, one that opened some interesting doors for […]
Maybe when all is said and done, and the storylines finally come together at season’s end, Dr. Saanvi will have been prophetic when she said, “We’re on the verge of discovering something awful.” I hear and feel you, my dear doctor. Episode 115 of “Manifest,” showed us that “the callings” can be used for good […]
Plenty to unpack in episode 204 of Star Trek: Discovery, wasn’t there? But while a dying space entity attempts to communicate with the Discovery, there were a couple other things that really stood out for me in this episode, not the least of which was the entire story arc of The Blob that would devour […]
During Monday’s episode of Manifest, I couldn’t help but let out a yell at Michaela Stone (Sorry, Melissa Roxburgh, my devotion to you remains unshaken), as she essentially dropped the bomb of her tryst with Jared to Lourdes, then proceeded to kind of wiggle out of her inability to BS by saying Lourdes already knew. […]
If you thought Seasons 1 and 2 of the dystopian-but-much-too-close Handmaid’s Tale were disturbing, be ready for even more mental confusion. I can’t wait until the new season starts! Margaret Atwood’s novel is soon to have a sequel (The Testaments, out in September), but for right now, we’ll have to do with this new trailer […]
Saga Of Tanya The Evil: A little girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, and porcelain skin fights on the front lines of a brutal war set in a fantasy world. What others don’t know is that she’s a reincarnated Japanese office worker who, in his former life, had a ruthless desire to climb the corporate […]
“The freaks are more fun.” And with that, my adoration for Emperor Philippa Georgiou returned intact and with total joy. In fact, episode 203 of Star Trek: Discovery, “Point of Light,” delivered unto my waiting fandom arms two of my favorite characters from season 1 — Georgiou and Ash Tyler (replete with beard and man-bun). […]
New information, new players, and the lovely reunion of the Stone family highlighted episode 113 of “Manifest.” In truth it was not one of my favorite episodes of the first season, but it moved the story along and included some interesting twists and turns, including the unveiling of an 828 hate group. Interesting how people’s […]
Following the fourth season finale episode, Sam Heughan did a Q&A with fans on Twitter! Can’t wait. #AskSam https://t.co/bP8PXiy6Eq — Richard Rankin (@RikRankin) January 28, 2019 Can’t wait. #AskSam https://t.co/bP8PXiy6Eq — Richard Rankin (@RikRankin) January 28, 2019 Q I’ll be heading to spin class at 6, but that one tear that hovered before falling. Perfect […]
