Deus ex Purrgil. That was my immediate thought as soon as Ahsoka returned from Jedi Purgatory (also known as the World Between Worlds, although this felt more like a test of her abilities than a portal through time like in Rebels) – how fortunate for her and the rest of her crew that a pod […]
The Other Black Girl, the new Hulu series that is based on the Zakiya Dalila Harris novel of the same name, would best be described as a Jordan Peele-horror story meets Single White Female. At least that’s my main takeaway after watching the ten-episode season (the season ends with enough additional story to support a […]
A few episodes into The Changeling, the new AppleTV+ adaptation of the novel of the same name, I didn’t know quite what to make of the series. Was it the story of new parents, torn asunder by a horrific bout of post-partum depression? Was it a horror story of a child that wasn’t a child, […]
We’re now officially halfway through Ahsoka, and right one time we have the split between our two heroes. Huyang warned you guys to stay together, Ahsoka and Sabine. But no, you split up and now Sabine has given into her desire to see Ezra once more (who is decidedly not the now dead Marrok the […]
With Fall just around the corner, football season is once again upon us. And, with that comes several football-related documentaries hitting the various streaming services. Having taken a look at a handful of them (I’m a sucker for a sport documentary – I honestly think it might be the sole reason I keep up with […]
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 […]
