Showrunner Terry Matalas and crew like to mix in some whimsy with the deadly serious 12 Monkeys premise. Last season, we got an episode that strongly resembled Ocean’s 11, and featured Alisen Down‘s version of Jennifer Goines. This season, we get Die Glocke. Still deadly serious. Adding Nazis will do that. Add in Jennifer’s concert, […]
Opening: Let’s welcome Christopher Lloyd back to the house monkeys built! He returns as The Missionary, the man who would travel with young Athan and spread the monkey word across the land, tent-revival style. Never mind that they killed most who attended. Here, he’s wallowing in the depths of happy and painful memories. We get […]
With this episode, “Legacy”, we got the American Old West setting featured in many of the trailers shown prior to the season. We also learned a couple important details that have been teased in the first episodes this season. Let’s hit a thorough recap and review those important points along the way. Opening Flashback First, […]
We have wayward Orange Eyes! I knew it!! No way could the new Synths be 100% safe! Bet you knew it, too. For some reason I can’t articulate, it seemed perfect that it was Niska who had the first interaction with what I am imagining is a large group behind that one rogue Synth while out […]
You have to hand it to the creative hands behind The Expanse as EP. 311, “The Fallen World,” used the whole concept of zero gravity as not only the backdrop to the episode, but another character in the drama that is playing out inside The Ring. I don’t know if I can recall a show […]
What a harrowing episode this was! Everywhere you looked, the state of Gilead and the residents we have come to know and love go through unspeakable trials and traumas. And all the while, I keep thinking of Frankenstein, that early gothic horror novel by Mary Shelley. It is commonly assessed that she wrote the book […]
The news is everywhere and we are very excited about it! After the Lucifer was cancelled on Fox, a strong campaign began to find Lucifer a new home. Netflix came to the rescue. Many of the people involved with Lucifer have been tweeting about their happiness and appreciation. Thank you thank you THANK YOU […]
Sarah Conner? Cassie (Amanda Schull) goes straight-up T-800 this episode in which she decides to hunt down young Olivia. Unlike The Terminator, which also involved an unborn child and time travel, once she learns of the pending birth, her plan goes haywire. I loved the opening. The whole cutting between Olivia getting processed at the […]
Seeing is Believing Where the first episode back relentlessly fed us plot point after plot point, the second gives us a moment to catch our breath. Recalling the pilot episode, this episode fills in some of the behind-the-scenes stuff happening around our heroes’ younger selves. We get to see a longer version of Ramse and […]
Unlike last year’s binge experience, I split this season’s reviews into individual episodes. Makes for more clicking, but shorter reads. Let’s quit wasting time and get on with 12 Monkeys episode 401: The End! The Final Splinter Sequence Remember how last season ended? Yeah lots of action, but there was one stand-alone scene at the very […]
