Well, that was a finale that delivered on all the promises the series set forth in its premiere. We were shown the identity of Sauron (which I was wrong about last week, although I’ll give myself partial credit for outlining all the ways Halbrand could be Sauron in a previous review), we learned that The […]
Well, I’ll say one thing: It’s hard to write a review of a television series when the writers essentially craft a finale that says, “We’ve heard your past complaints, anticipated your current worries, and course corrected to make them all moot.” Because that’s essentially what “Whose Show is This?”, the first season finale of She-Hulk […]
It’s truly something that a series, centered around a character we all know will be making it out alive and well, can create such a deep feeling of suspense that it has you on the edge of your seat during a heist like this one. But Andor pulled it off – completely – making us […]
And with the death of King Viserys at the close of the eighth episode of House of the Dragon, the Dance of the Dragons has begun. But before we get to that moment within “The Lord of the Tides” – an episode that handles a good deal of expositional work to lay the final bit […]
“The Eye,” the penultimate episode of The Rings of Power’s first season, had the tricky task of bridging between the best episode of the season (the epic Battle of the Southlands) and the season finale. And, on the whole, it did a serviceable job wrapping up the devastation of the battle, setting things in motion for […]
Ok, point made, She-Hulk. You already know all the theories people were going to have about your sudden turn into the superhero world after a season nicely ensconced in the legal comedy with a side of superhero hijinks realm. I will fully admit that I laughed out loud when Jen broke the fourth wall to suggest […]
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 […]
