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 […]
The Bowmans are in, as the episode title says, “a clean, well-lighted place,” but it’s full of anger and secrets. Something is weird about Everett Kynes’ Seattle – something twisty, and scary. And this episode is feeling less like an alien-invasion story, and more like an intense family drama – which is, of course, one […]
Fellow Sci-Fi fans, Stan’s the man! Orange-Eye Stanley is my new Humans Synth super hero. If you haven’t, you must watch Humans Season 3 Episode 2 and meet this wonderful new character charmingly “brought to life” by Dino Fetscher. Stanley and Neil – Laura’s New Men? Yes, Stanley’s foisted upon dolly-ally Laura (Katherine Parkinson) who only accepts […]
Sometimes it’s useful to be reminded that those of us who love good sci-fi, love it for more than cool ships, daring adventures and battles in the far reaches of space. Sometimes, good sci-fi is a revealing conversation in the bowel’s of what feels like an impossible situation amidst an otherwordly backdrop. And that’s what […]
This week’s episode of The Handmaid’s Tale left me hopeful, The atmosphere of bleakness, hushed voices and quiet desperation made for an hour where there was so much hanging in the balance. I feel like this was a building block episode, filled with little gems that will either leave the viewer very satisfied or frustrated. […]
