The season 4 finale of The Expanse was a wonderful melting pot of all that makes this series so compelling – and at times frustrating (but in a good way). For all the positive vibes that episode 10 thrust our way, there were certainly an equal number of unsettling developments that leave you wondering what […]
After viewing these three episodes back-to-back, I decided that they all played such an interesting role in moving The Expanse along in its fourth season that I’d meld them into one review that kind of encapsulates the whole, rather than break them into bits. The Expanse hasn’t lost a dang thing, in my estimation, with […]
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 […]
Oh, that was fun, wasn’t it? The season-ender of The Mandalorian had a bunch of different elements combining to deliver a story that had plenty of action, some fun twists, and unfortunately somber notes as well. In the end, a new chapter is about to begin. But what a wild ride we had to the […]
Oh man, there’s a lot to unpack in these two episodes and the board for the season was set early. Now, the players are starting to move and it’s always so very interesting to see what motivates some of these people, as well as the situations that push their respective buttons. One thing is clear, […]
Gotta admit that it was like welcoming the return of long lost friends and family. The Expanse returned for its fourth season with a nice little bang on Dec. 13 with a new 10 episode season on Amazon Prime. It has been a while, but the things we’ve always loved about this show are still […]
Yes, December is dawning, but there’s still time to get the gift that keeps on giving at warp factor 7 – for someone you care about or just something you want to put in your own stocking. Star Trek Christmas gifts are that rare “something special” that let’s the nerd revel in Kirk, Spock, L’Rell, […]
Well, you could kind of sense something like this was going to happen when The Mandalorian got his first glimpse of Yoda Jr., didn’t you? Tie that in with those flashbacks to the death of his mother and father (we assume), and some furtive glances and interesting questions, and Chapter Three: The Sin, proved to […]
Well, well, well, our little Yoda baby (hence to be referred to as Yoda Jr.) would seem to have some special powers – some force-like powers. Which begs the question, is he a chip off the old block or some new face with some old powers? There’s a lot of speculation going on about that […]
November 12 can’t come soon enough for Star Wars fans (and sci-fi fans in general) eager for their first look at “The Mandalorian,” the live action TV show that will drop on Disney+ and take us to new worlds and stories. While the first episode is still days away, “The Mandalorian” just gave us a […]
