Doctor Who – “Knock Knock” Episode Review
For I am your landlord. You came here, you signed the contract and now…it’s time to pay. Doctor Who is back at it again this week with what feels like should be a quintessential episode for the show. “Knock Knock” is a satisfying mix of monsters, horror, and humor with a dash of unanswered questions mixed […]
G’Day Melbourne – The Leftovers 304
Intro The Leftovers 304, G’Day Melbourne, sets two of our main characters off on new, divergent trajectories. Let’s take a closer look at the final build up to this mid-season course change (correction?). Synopsis Damon and the writers usually disguise their foreshadowing a little more than with this episode’s opening song choice. “This Love is […]
Class: “For Tonight We Might Die” Episode Review
The debut episode of Class “For Tonight We Might Die,” starts us off very similar to how many Doctor Who episodes have previously; with a scary monster, a fleeing victim, and a dark or abandoned space. Viewers right away are able to connect that Class is indeed a spin-off series for Doctor Who, and so we know to expect […]
Handmaid’s Tale: Review / Round-Up, Episodes 2-4 – Figuring It Out
First, let’s all give a big cheer of “Under His Eye!” Hulu announced today that they have renewed Handmaid’s Tale for a second season! It will be fascinating to see where they can go with this small book. So far, I’m really impressed with the additions and extrapolations, and I’m enjoying – and am horrified […]
Doctor Who: “On Thin Ice” Episode Review
On Thin Ice was yet another genius & classic episode of Doctor Who, continuing the trend of fantastic television for Series 10. Peter Capaldi and Pearle Mackie have yet to disappoint me, if anything I am already sad that this will be the only season we see of them. This episode picks up immediately where Smile left […]
Gotham Episode 16 Review: Darkness Rises
Gotham Will Burn The Court of Owls has decided: Gotham is to be cleansed and nothing will stop them. Except maybe one of their own. Gordon’s uncle, Frank, has decided to reach out and bring news of the oncoming doom to Gordon. Gordon discovers a dark secret about Frank in the process, which makes him […]
Class: “Nightvisiting” Episode Review
Class took us for quite the emotional spin with “Nightvisiting,” which easily can be considered the best episode yet for the series. The episode opens with a sentimental and dialogue free montage showing us the story of how Tanya’s parents fell in love and started their family. From there we seamlessly transition to that unfortunate […]
“American Gods” Season 1 Episode One: A Bloody Beauty
So it begins… “American Gods”, a novel by Neil Gaiman, and now a show on STARZ. I have patiently waited, hoping for the right casting news and fit to do this incredible book justice, and it has finally happened. The first episode does not hold back, which anyone who has read the book knows that […]
Kevin Garvey, Aborigine – The Leftovers 303
Intro We know what you’re thinking. Something like, well THAT was weird. We agree. But we agreed to see weird stuff when we tuned in to The Leftovers 303. If we take a closer look, some of the weirdness will start to make more sense. Let’s start this thing. “The Last Wave” and David Burton In […]
Heroes Will Rise: Gotham Season 3 Episode 15 Review
The Riddler has Arrived After a very long stint away Gotham has returned. The end of the mid-season finale, or whatever it was, showed Edward Nygma, Riddler, putting a bullet in Oswald Cobblepot’s chest and, surprise, he threw him into the river! I really like the callback to when Gordon was supposed to kill Penguin. […]
