So… The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was a decently boring show with sprinkles of excitement every so often. It was nothing like what I was expecting from the previews and it left me wanting more than what I got. I was looking forward to seeing some badass magic and a strong lead character. Instead I […]
I called it last week and all my dreams would appear to be coming true as episode 109 of “Manifest” delivered further confirmation that Ben Stone and Director Vance are in this thing together. The bromance (which we’ll call “Stance” or perhaps “Bance) began brewing last week and came to a boil in an episode […]
One of the most attractive parts of Outlander, I’ve always found, is the strength of character of its men. Jamie, Roger, Lord John, Colum, Ian Sr and Jr, even Dougal, are men with failings, to be sure, but they know where they need to go, they have faith in who they are, and they develop, […]
I told you Director Vance was going to start coming to light. His curiosity has been piqued by Ben Stone and the more he spies on Ben and his movements, the more he’s lured into the belief that there’s “off the books” at work in his midst. And he’s not down with that. I’m delighted. […]
Outlander doesn’t shy away from tackling the hard subjects. And that’s definitely a good thing, because the books are full of difficult moments, contradictions between what was done “then” and what is done “now.” That juxtaposition, with Claire in the middle, frequently creates tension and trouble, and we know we wouldn’t have it any other […]
Arrow 7×04 Review – Level Two This week’s episode—the aptly named “Level Two”—focused on characters going deeper, or descending to level two, in their respective storylines. Oliver’s took a more literal form in that he was forced into a new level of prison life—a more torturous one at that. Felicity’s storyline further explored how her […]
After a week off, we got back in the missing passengers saddle with “Manifest” episode 106, “Off Radar.” And while there was plenty of meat on the mystery bone in this one — Cal in the hospital, the Bulgarian search, relationship damage, black ops sites and a naughty giant corporation — perhaps the thing that […]
The last 11 months haven’t been so bad, have they? A thing worth having is a thing worth waiting for, right? But finally, Jamie and Claire have embarked on their new adventure, attempting to settle down in America. This production has had changes from the start – large and small, important, delightful, baffling. I’m sure […]
The Flash 504 Review – News Flash This week’s episode of The Flash stopped the presses with new threats to both Central City and fans’ emotions. Between a devious metahuman reporter writing breaking news headlines before they even happen, Nora’s unexplained frostiness toward Iris, and the ongoing mystery of Cicada, this episode kept me riveted. There’s […]
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 […]
