After a premiere that did a lot of heavy lifting in terms of setting up the central arc of the series – and re-introducing* our central characters after some time away – the third installment of Ahsoka was more concerned with reinforcing a few key plot points and making sure that our central duo were […]
There’s a really great series on HBO that I have been loving for the last few years. It tells the story of a power struggle within a family of spoiled, rich, relatively clueless individuals all fighting to gain control of the family name, fortune, and to receive daddy’s blessing over their siblings. There are three […]
A bit of housekeeping before diving into the review of the first two episodes of Ahsoka. While I have seen every live action piece of content in the Star Wars universe – and read a number of the novels that included Grand Admiral Thrawn – I have only seen a handful of Rebels episodes (just […]
When it comes to the list of the great sci-fi television dramas, no list is complete without the mention of Babylon 5, the pioneering serialized space epic that aired from 1994-1998. Without Babylon 5, there would be no Battlestar Galactica, no The Expanse, no Foundation – because without Babylon 5 (and its fellow mid-90s cousin […]
Now that is how you do a cliffhanger finale! Not since “Best of Both Worlds” have we gotten a finale that truly has real, complex stakes and characters we love in real danger. But, then again, what would you expect from the finest Star Trek series in decades? Once again, Strange New Worlds takes what […]
Boy, Charles-Haden Savage, Oliver Putnam, and Mabel Mora are not three people you want to see entering your life in any way, shape, or form. If they do, the chances that you will find yourself either the victim of a gruesome murder or a prime suspect becomes shockingly high. Because once again, in the third […]
It was all Patti LuPone’s fault. After all, it was the use of a recording of her singing “Anything Goes,” the titular song of the classic Broadway musical, that started this whole singing ships conundrum in “Subspace Rhapsody” – a lovely twist that made this Broadway nerd chuckle. But would the episode turn out to […]
The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, a seven-part miniseries adaptation of the novel of the same name, is a fascinating, if too slow developing, television series – gorgeous to look at, with some interesting performances, and a rather perfunctory plot. The series follows Alice Hart from her youth – as a nine-year-old dealing with the […]
When I wrote about M’Benga’s episode arc in my review of the Strange New Worlds season premiere, I commented that I suspected PTSD and its impact might serve as a through-line for this season of the series. Of course, I wasn’t expecting the writers to dip back into that particular well with M’Benga once again […]
Let’s get this out of the way up top. The second season of Good Omens is, at its heart, simply an excuse for David Tennant and Michael Sheen to pal around, riff off one another, and be generally delightful with their wonderful chemistry for another season of television. After all, the first season of the […]
