Remember everything I wrote about how I hoped Discovery‘s writers were planning a long and complex arc for Osyraa and the Emerald Chain? Yeah, definitely missed the mark on that. And I’m definitely pretty miffed at how Michelle Paradise (the co-showrunner and writer of the episode) opted to end season three – and how utterly […]
The writers of Star Trek: Discovery were given a monumental task for season three. With the series now set in the 32nd century, they had to spend a significant amount of time on world building to get audiences (and their core characters) up to speed on the political, technological, and societal situation at this point […]
Upon finishing the second episode of HBO’s newest dramatic thriller, The Flight Attendant, I tweeted that the show was triggering my particular brand of lawyer anxiety, as the series’ protagonist Cassie (an excellent Kaley Cuoco) was ignoring the incredibly sound advice of her lawyer friend Annie (a perfectly cast Zosia Mamet) and making some seriously […]
This article will contain spoilers for the first season of Star Trek: Lower Decks, so turn back now if you do not want to be spoiled. Yes, I know I’m several months late to the party here, but at least I got in. If you’re all familiar with me, you know I’m a Star Trek […]
Well, that was a hell of a finale. Not only did the episode bring several of the season’s best characters together for one final assault on Moff Gideon, it also brought back (for good and for ill) one of Star Wars’ most important characters to take little Grogu under his Jedi wing and train him.

When Star Trek: Discovery killed off Phillipa Georgiou early in its first season, I was angry. You have someone as talented as Michelle Yeoh on your show and you kill her off? That was the first sign to me that things weren’t quite right with the series in its initial run. When we were introduced […]
2020 is finally on its way out (and not a moment too soon for anyone), which means it’s time for that time honored holiday tradition: Critics’ Top Ten Lists! As we all spent more time on our sofas watching TV this year than any of us thought we would, I suspect many of you will […]
When I reviewed the fourth season of The Expanse last year, my main takeaway (after watching the first six episodes that had been provided for critics) was that it was shaping up to be a good, but not great season of the series. And upon finishing it, that was what it ultimately turned out to […]
Wander Darkly is a conundrum of a film. A deep dive into the fracturing of a relationship, there’s a lot to like about it: strong leading performances from Sienna Miller and Diego Luna as the central couple along with interesting directorial choices from writer-director Tara Miele that lend the film a surrealist tinge that keeps […]
I’ll be honest, I don’t have all that much to say about this week’s episode of The Mandalorian, but that’s because the episode did its job. Yes, we got another excellent heist episode that utilized a number of good characters. Yes, there was a big, momentous moment in the arc of the series (more on […]
