In my review of season one of Schmigadoon!, I worried that the series might not appeal to those who weren’t, like me, big time musical theatre fans. After all, if you can’t tell your Lerner and Loewe from your Rogers and Hammerstein, would you really care about a television series parodying their biggest hits and […]
Have you ever wondered just how the Pink Ladies of the musical Grease got their start? Well, wonder no more, as Paramount+ is continuing to dig deep into their existing IP well of content (after successfully rebooting its once dormant Star Trek franchise over the last several years – well, somewhat successfully) to craft new […]
Oh god. Poor Tuvok. For some reason, until that reveal – and the rather graphic description of just what torture Tuvok was being forced to endure – the true danger of the Changeling infiltration hadn’t really hit me. Sure, they might (read: almost certainly will) try to blow up the Fleet at Frontier Day (along […]
Now we’re getting somewhere! After a slow start to season three (with some pretty great highs, but a lot of running in place in terms of a central season arc), The Mandalorian has placed its chips on the table to let us know just what we’re looking at for the remainder of the season arc. […]
The Big Door Prize, the new dramedy series from AppleTV+ (adapted from M.O. Walsh’s book of the same name) looks at how group-think – and predictions of the future – can impact a town and force people to take a good hard look at their lives and who they want to become. The plot itself […]
If there’s one clear theme in this final season of Picard, outside of the delivery of fan service by the truckload – done in such a way that it neither feels like it’s pandering nor like it’s simply checking a box, no small feat indeed – it’s family, both in the Fast and the Furious […]
After last week’s detour to see how Doctor Pershing was acclimating himself to his new life in the New Republic (not great, Bob!), this week returns us fully to the action of the Mandalorian cult as Grogu begins his Mandalorian training and Bo-Katan further enmeshes herself with her new family through orchestrating a successful rescue […]
If I had to pick a favorite Star Trek: The Next Generation character, it would have to be Q. Even after the debacle of last season of Picard, he has a special place in my TV-loving heart. But if I had to pick a second character? Hands down Ro Laren. I remember watching her appearance […]
Extrapolations, the new anthology drama set to debut on AppleTV+ this Friday, is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. And, even for people who can laud its big narrative swings, I suspect it will struggle to find an audience throughout its eight episode running time. That’s not a dig at the performances, the […]
Well, that was far and away the best episode of this season of The Mandalorian, and it is a tad worrisome that such a strong episode relied very little on any of the Mandalorians (although, there was a nice bookend of scenes that were the strongest outing we’ve had from Mando in a story and […]
