Okay, so I wasn’t correct as to who the Client ended up being. But I was right that Vision’s real journey this season wasn’t about solving a problem or escaping some villain – it was about recognizing (much like the Tin Man) that he had that heart he was searching for (or, in his case, […]
I wasn’t a big fan of Stick, AppleTV’s Owen Wilson-led golf comedy, in its first season. While Wilson was solid, if not spectacular, playing a typical Owen Wilson character in Pryce “Stick” Cahill, the show’s paint by numbers writing and lack of any real emotional depth or stakes didn’t keep my interest.

Prue McKeel (Peyton Elizabeth Lee) is a young girl living in Portland, Oregon. She ignores her parents’ warnings not to take her brother Mac outside, leading to the baby being taken by a murder of […]
We’ve reached the final climb to the climax of VisionQuest – the Client (whose identity I think the show tipped with their dialogue this week – more on that in a minute) has decided not to kill Vision, should he come to them, Jocasta and Ultron have created their own unholy union* and unleashed the first […]
