Well, there it is. Jack Crusher appears to be Picard’s son. Even though there’s no way in hell that man is under 30 years old and the timeline doesn’t line up at all. Which is why I’m still holding out hope that there’s some other explanation coming (perhaps another clone of Picard, who Beverly discovered […]
The Faustian bargain is a common plot point in film and television. Man or woman, disappointed or angry with their lot in life, makes a deal with the Devil to ensure success, power, romance – or some combination thereof – and then doesn’t want to give up their soul when the time comes for the […]
There’s a cool idea at the center of the new AppleTV+ international spy thriller Liaison: two Syrian hackers discover information that could destroy an evil corporation with deep international governmental ties and desperately need the help of European spy associations to get them to safety. Luckily for them, two of the people on the case […]
Unresolved trauma has a way of sneaking up on people when they least expect it – sometimes decades after that first blush of pain was inflicted upon a person. When it comes to Joel, hit after hit have built up a massive wall around the man – no surprise there for anyone who has been […]
I think it’s safe to say that Picard has had a shaky run thus far. The main culprit has been uneven storytelling and character development, taking a universally beloved character in Jean-Luc Picard and saddling him with a story that doesn’t work alongside new characters who don’t pop the way his former crew members of […]
I love a creative sci-fi drama. I also love a reto-set story that pulls from sci-fi to create a cool blend of mid-century style with futuristic elements that set the series apart from your usual 50s/60s-set stories. And that’s essentially what Hello Tomorrow!, a new AppleTV+ series from Amit Bhalla and Lucas Jansen is – […]
After five episodes – all stellar, smart, and well-constructed – I think it’s become clear just what makes The Last of Us work as well as it does. Sure, there’s a pre-ordained narrative for the writers to follow (even if they take some liberties from the source material at times, it, thus far, only serves […]
After last week’s emotional tour de force, The Last of Us made the right move in taking a beat before fully diving into the next confrontation for Joel and Ellie. Now, I’m sure there will be some people who want the series to be more of a go, go, go narrative arc, but this is […]
It will only take you about two episodes to figure out if Dear Edward, an adaptation of the novel of the same name, will be your type of show. For me, it definitely wasn’t. But I suspect it’s a series that will find an audience – largely because shows with a similar look, feel, and […]
This show, man. I’m absolutely stunned that, in only its third episode, The Last of Us could manage to craft such a gorgeous, haunting, human, and heartbreaking story over the course of an hour – one that never felt cloying, silly, or overdone – and present us with two characters who we had only just […]
