First and foremost let me say that I love backstory – love it. And in a wonderful mode of storytelling, the writers of Ep. 105 of ‘Manifest’ gave me a lot to like. Titled ‘Connecting Flights,’ which is a bit of a play on words for the episodes new mantra, “It’s all connected,” this episode […]
The momentum from Jodie and her Thirteenth Doctor continues this week – in an episode that is pivotal for each new Doctor and for every new companion. The Doctor and her new friends find themselves thrust into the end of a deadly game, trapped on a hostile planet, and with no TARDIS in sight. “The […]
Towards the end of episode 104 of Manifest, Ben Stone asks the question that seems to be more and more central to this show – should the passengers keep listening to “the calling” of the voices they hear and the apparitions they are starting to see? When Michaela Stone posits the theory that they don’t […]
The small “The Walking Dead” real world has grown smaller. Just days before the Season 9 premiere aired, the TWD cast lost one of their own – Scott Wilson. Episode 901 opened with tribute. Scott’s character Hershel will appear later in this season as Scott had previously filmed Hershel’s scenes. Our condolences to all those […]
Forgive me if I sound an optimistic tone right now, but I think “Manifest” is starting to hit its stride. Episode 103, “Turbulence,” offered an intriguing collection of moments that, taken within the whole of the story, really opened up the show as we start to stretch toward the midway point. From the brain splatter […]
NBC’s much-promo-ed new show, Manifest, debuted tonight. It’s an interesting premise – a plane takes off, and arrives without delay, at least in its passengers’ perception – but it lands more than 5 years after it left. No explanation, no sensation – some bad turbulence, but what frequent flyer hasn’t experienced turbulence? Just a mystery […]
Let’s just call the Killjoys season 4 finale what it was — wildly satisfying and ominous. It would seem that for all the effort put into trapping The Lady in The Green, methinks she made it out, at least judging by the episode’s final scenes and the trailer for season 5. By the way, was […]
Well, to say I have a bone or two to pick with the Killjoys writers, showrunner and assorted other higher-ups would be an understatement. Killjoys Ep. 409 “The Kids Are Alright?” certainly lived up to its title, but in the process crushed my soul a little as we lost a couple of my favorites. Curse […]
With all that’s going on in the Killjoys realm, episode 408 gave us quite the deep dive into the Jaqobis family dynamics. And while there was plenty of humor in “It Takes A Pillage,” there was also more than enough somber revelations and personality discoveries to conjure up a serious dish of sympathy for Johnny […]
Well, our beloved Dutch has the tools to deal with The Lady, and we know she has the talents. But does she have the time? That’s yet to be determined, but one thing’s for sure in this week’s episode of Killjoys, The Lady is on the move and there’s still plenty left to do to […]
