Well, my new favorite Andor character might just be Syril’s meddling mother Eedy (the great Kathryn Hunter), who in just a couple of scenes has added not only a layer of humor to the tense proceedings of the series, but also enough character shading to Syril to make him more than the two-dimensional baddie the […]
It’s pretty amazing what difference a (mostly) new cast can make. Lest you think I’m criticizing the younger versions of the vast majority of The House of the Dragon’s ever-growing cast of characters, I’m not. But having older, more experienced actors take the reins when the story needs to start getting darker, more complicated, and […]
Well, color me surprised. I didn’t think we would be getting the Númenoreans battling with the Southlanders against Adar and the Orcs, well, ever. I was assuming that by the time Galadriel and Númenor reached the Southlands, the Men would have been overrun. But boy, was I thrilled to be wrong, as “Udûn” turned out […]
And there it is. The MCU connection (outside of, you know, the obvious green cousin and giant green client) for She-Hulk. Now, that’s not to say that there weren’t some fun, comedic moments within “The Retreat” – because there absolutely were – but with only two episodes remaining (and a promised Daredevil appearance still to […]
This week’s episode of Andor moved the action away from Ferrix and to Aldhani – a planent with not much going for it except for an Imperial base that is perfectly set-up to be raided by some rebellion assets with the help of our boy Cassian – and Coruscant – where we get introduced to […]
So here we are – ten years further into the future with a host of new actors, new characters, and the same old grudges (just a bit more fermented and with more furor simmering under – and in some cases, over – the surface*). I must admit, while I still believe the series would have […]
With the aptly named “Partings,” The Rings of Power officially pushed each of its four storylines into second gear. While I am still struggling to find a connection worth rooting for in the Southlands section of the series (Arondir and Bronwyn continue to be more archetypal cyphers than actual characters), this was the first week […]
“Just Jen,” the sixth installment in She-Hulk’s first season was an interesting episode. Not so much interesting in terms of exploring Jen’s growing attachment to her hulked out persona. Or even interesting as a story. But interesting in that the episode’s B-plot (that would be Mallory and Nikki working to get Mr. Immortal out from […]
In the interest of honest reviewing, I feel that I should start this review of Andor off with the statement that I wasn’t a fan of Rogue One. I certainly didn’t hate it – I appreciated that the story was allowed to go to darker places than most Star Wars properties and I really liked […]
We’ve come to the end of an age within House of the Dragon – with Rhaenyra wed to Ser Laenor Velaryon, Queen Alicent all but raising her Hightower bannermen up against Rhaenyra’s claim to the throne (and at her wedding rehearsal dinner, no less), Daemon killing his wife and freeing himself to make a claim […]
