Hope is Abound Krypton is in full swing and with Hope being the penultimate episode of Season 1 they are ramping it up. Seg and Nyssa find themselves pitted against Lyta and Dru in the race for Doomsday. The team up is interesting and I liked when even Nyssa pointed out the irony in the […]
Before we look at this week’s episode, “Immolation,” a few thoughts on the elephant in the Rocinante lunch room. Syfy’s announcement that this season will be its last with The Expanse hit fans hard. While I understand the ratings and why those are important to a company’s bottom line, I was disappointed with the news […]
Gilead gets more and more bizarre. I keep wondering, how did it sink this low in such a short time? How did the will of what had to be a fairly small minority get imposed on the larger majority so quickly and so thoroughly? Who designed all those dresses and uniforms? Whose house are the […]
What exactly is “the work?” While feeling sorry for the rapid development of the protomolecule in Katoa and the pain he is undergoing in the process, he did spit out a little bit of a tease, Golum-like. Linked as he is to the protomolecule collective consciousness, he told Dr. Strickland and Jules-Pierre Mao that “the […]
People are not meant to handle this much trauma. Children ripped from parents’ arms, men and women tortured and killed for beliefs, or for resisting, or for…. nothing. And master manipulators can take that trauma, and turn it into crushing guilt, and turn that guilt into acceptance and even fanaticism. This episode of The Handmaid’s […]
Netflix released Season 2 of their original series 3% on April 27 and if you aren’t watching this Brazilian export – you do not know what you are missing! Created by Pedro Aguilera, 3% tells the story of a “future where the elite inhabit an island paradise far from the crowded slums” and “you get one […]
Colony is finally back! RAPs and the Resistance, Bram, Charlie and Grace, Snyder, Will and Katie, but no Broussard, yet. They’re all still alive, and look like they’re doing well! The last time we saw the Bowmans – and Snyder – they were racing out of LA, escaping the total rendition that’s caught Katie’s sister […]
In many ways, as devastating as episode 1 of this season was, I found episode 2 even more so. We knew June and the other Handmaids would be punished for their refusal to stone Janine. We knew it wouldn’t be easy. But then we had the hope of June’s assisted escape, even though we didn’t […]
Holy crap. Excuse the language, but Westworld “Reunion” made for one hell of episode this week! “Reunion” is an episode that tries to fill in some of the blanks from the Westworld that we know and love in Season 1, to the Westworld of now, and exactly where it all started. Of course, being Westworld – you can […]
Let’s just say that “The Expanse” is 3-for-3 thus far in the new season and move along. Loved this episode. The show once again delivered a compelling and interesting episode that saw the Secretary-General ultimately up the ante on the war with Mars — to devastating consequences on earth’s soil. The finish of the episode […]
