From the opening salvo that included a “The Shining”-esque vibe to the closing moments of EP. 1 of Syfy’s “Nightflyers,” this new sci-fi drama delivered a tense vibe that I have to admit got me hooked pretty quickly. Based on a novella from the pen of George R.R.Martin, “Nightflyers” got its season off to quite […]
The Flash 507 Review: “O Come, All Ye Thankful” It’s Thanksgiving in Central City and that means time to focus on family. As is the case for many holiday-themed TV episodes, this one had a strong central theme: father and daughter relationships. Barry and Nora, Weather Wizard and Weather Witch, and Cicada and Grace (technically […]
Director Vance dead, missing passengers found, relationships breaking, relationships rekindling, and a whole lot of confusion about what comes next. All-in-all a pretty full closet of actions and consequences in the mid-season finale of “Manifest.” It was, in short, a helluva ride. “Manifest” writers and actors, you have my thanks. And with that explosive (literally) […]
One of the problems of having read the Outlander books, and loving them, and coming to watch and review the TV series, is that you feel like a low-rent psychic. You have an idea of what’s coming next – although one can never really know, right? – and you can see the paths and patterns […]
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 […]
