It’s hard not to like the sound of Adriyan Rae’s voice. There’s a gentle friendliness to it that invites you in and makes you instantly comfortable. It’s also a voice that offers strength, passion, and a joy for life and work that’s infectious. If you’ve caught Rae in her title role as Elida in the […]
At long last, our heroes have landed (with a thud) on the planet that Elida’s mom is supposedly being held captive on. Ah, but getting there is, as they say, half the fun, right? Well, in episode 104 of Vagrant Queen, titled “In A Sticky Spot,” getting there was kind of a wild and woolly […]
Are you tired of crying during Outlander episodes? Tired of emotional, tear-inducing stories? Tired of holding your breath, hoping your loves survive, greeting them when they return? No? Me either. And to my friends who say they don’t tear up (yes, I’m pointing at you, and you know who you are), you lie to save […]
Often, when I rewatch an episode to write my review, I like it more than I did on the first watch. The nuances and performances are more interesting, the writing makes more sense. But with this one – my first watch, I thought it was excellent, one of my favorites. And on second watch, while […]
The rescue plan of Elida’s mother hits full throttle as the target planet is Wix. It’s here that mom is being held (Or at least that’s the story), according to the loyalists looking to restore the monarchy. But a clandestine discussion overheard by Isaac may mean something else is afoot. Let the intrigue commence. Episode […]
Two episodes into the Syfy original, Vagrant Queen, and it’s clear that while there’s enough “tongue in the proverbial cheek” going on in this space offering, there’s also some serious messages and interesting story development. This isn’t a kid’s show, as the many moments of levity, fun one-liners and interesting creatures have to be measured […]
I feel like I repeat myself most weeks in season 5 – more than halfway through at this point, and the majority of the episodes have been terrific! This one, The Ballad of Roger Mac, is probably the best in what has been a great season – and one of the best of the entire […]
For my money, it’s hard not to like the vibe that a new SYFY offering delivers in a fun, outer space, coming-of-age kind of way. Vagrant Queen debuted Friday with an episode titled “A Royal Ass-Kicking,” and while there was plenty of that, there was a lot more. I enjoyed it. The focus is on […]
The world of Star Trek has always been about the search for our better angels, the walk of humanity and how that manifests itself when it bumps up against other life forms. In the season 1 finale of Star Trek: Picard, we are treated to so many warm and important moments – moments that took […]
If you caught the premier of season 2 of Roswell, New Mexico, you would have experienced another rollercoaster ride of emotions. Not only did season 1 leave us completely and utterly destroyed emotionally, but it turns out season 2 came back to kick us in the feelers once again. Season 1 left us devastated in the wake […]
