I don’t know what it is about the Victorian Era, but it’s such a good setting for all hell breaking loose. Perhaps it’s the stuffiness of the upper crust, or the sadness and despair of those on the bottom looking up, or just the simple notion that underneath that class oppression is a steamy underbelly […]
In the end, Harry Vanderspiegle – resident alien of Patience, Colorado, couldn’t (or wouldn’t) let his doomsday device obliterate all of humanity. But to get to that point was quite the ride, wasn’t it? The season finale of Resident Alien (“Heroes of Patience”) showed us just how much humanity had seeped into the heart (hearts?) […]
Okay, right out of the gate I’ll make no secret that in the world of “Kung Fu,” I am a purist. To me, this franchise will always resonate with me via David Carradine as Kwai-Chang Caine. So, for that reason – that bias, I was a little apprehensive about digging into the premiere episode of […]
Did that octopus in the aquarium seem to have a familiar voice? Perhaps captained a Firefly class ship somewhere in the ‘verse in a time down the road? Mmm, I got the strangest feeling I’d heard that voice before in something of an authority role. It was just one of a myriad of interesting bobs […]
Turns out, Episode 106 of Resident Alien (titled Sexy Beast), wasn’t filled with the finest moments for our alien-turned-doctor Harry Vanderspiegle. His work towards understanding humanity while plotting its demise took several odd roads as the episode moved forward – and I’m hard-pressed to think of one of those roads that was a positive one.

Have we reached a turning point in episode 105 (“Love Language”) of Resident Alien? On the verge of divorce, have Harry and his wife made amends (she thinks so)? In the midst of their battle for supremacy of Patience, Colorado, youngsters Max and Sahar negotiate a peace with the alien and then indulge in some […]
There’s something fairly beautiful in the chaos of plans not going to plan. Fortunately, The Expanse is one of those shows that continually delivers that kind of beauty – episode by episode. It’s one of the things that marks The Expanse, in my mind, as the taut sci-fi drama/thriller that it is. I don’t get […]
There will be a second season of Manifest. NBC announced the news regarding its sci-fi drama Monday and that means the mystery of what “the callings” are all about will continue. Manifest got off to a hot start with fans, but cooled a bit as the season ran over its full 16 episode season. However, […]
We are more than halfway through Season 2 of Salvation and even though we have seen some resolutions, there are still some rather large issues that need to be solved. Darius may have figured out how to take back control from Resyst, but they don’t seem like the type of movement to take failure lightly. […]
Another death means another major twist in the Salvation series. Tonight, on Salvation: “The Madness of King Tanz”, things are about to get very intense. Darius is leading the charge for revenge and no one will stop him. Yet, in all his anger, could he be targeting the wrong group? Did Resyst hire that assassin? […]
