Watchmen – An Almost Religious Awe Review

December 2, 2019December 5, 2019Jean HeneganComment(0)

I have to admit, so much happened in “An Almost Religious Awe” that I don’t really know where to jump into this review. I suppose the best jumping-off point would be with the continuing deepening of what we know about our protagonist, Angela Abar – especially since she seems to be the link to the […]

The Mandalorian – Chapter 4: Sanctuary Review

December 1, 2019December 5, 2019Jean HeneganComment(0)

Ok, I think it’s safe to say that the blueprint for The Mandalorian is to create interesting episodic adventures (wherein we spend time with characters far more interesting that Mando) as we slowly move toward some sort of conclusion regarding the galactic search for Baby Yoda. While I tend to prefer my television with an […]

His Dark Materials – Armour Review (A Newbie’s Perspective)

November 26, 2019November 28, 2019Jean HeneganComment(0)

Guys. Guys! There are polar bears with armor! And they are so cute! (Ok, they do also exude the regal elements the show clearly wants them to, but they are also talking polar bears wearing bear-sized armor, which means they are also adorable.) But, most importantly, this was an good hour of television from start […]

Evil – Two Fathers Review

November 26, 2019December 5, 2019Jean HeneganComment(0)

Now that I’m convinced it’s keeping its quality (and since it has already been renewed for a second season next year), the CBS series Evil has earned an episode-by-episode review, so I’ll be writing episodic summary-reviews beginning this week… Can the previously-found map of evil (The Poveglia Codex) with more than 60 sigils help lead […]

Watchmen – This Extraordinary Being Review

November 25, 2019November 28, 2019Jean HeneganComment(0)

The past is something we tend to cling to like a security blanket. When we discuss something awful, we hold it up as a clear mark, a blemish, a black spot on the soul of humanity – something that we won’t do ever again. Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it […]

The Mandalorian – Chapter Three: The Sin Review

November 22, 2019November 28, 2019Jean HeneganComment(0)

Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat: Baby Yoda (which I know is not the Child’s name, but since the internet has decided to use that name I’m going to go with it until we get something else) is ridiculously cute. Hell, I’d watch an entire series that was just it […]

His Dark Materials – The Spies (A Newbie’s Perspective)

November 20, 2019November 20, 2019Jean HeneganComment(0)

Remember how excited I was about learning characters in His Dark Materials can travel between world’s last week? Well, that’s just how disappointed I was with this week’s tired twist – that Coulter and Asriel had an affair, complete with an angry husband trying to kill Lyra and both of them. What a dumb, predictable, and, […]

Watchmen – Little Fear of Lightning Review

November 18, 2019November 20, 2019Jean HeneganComment(0)

Remember a few weeks back, when Laurie Blake told Angela Abar that people put on masks in response to some sort of trauma – usually from their childhood or youth? Well, while we may still be waiting to discover why Angela is drawn to her particular masked persona, we definitely understand just what made Wade […]

The Mandalorian – Chapter One and Chapter Two Review

November 17, 2019November 28, 2019Jean HeneganComment(0)

After watching “Chapter One,” the series premiere of The Madalorian (aka the one thing on Disney+ that millions of people were waiting to watch), I decided I should wait until I’d watched at least the series’ second episode (which was officially titled “Chapter Two,” but also used the title “The Child” within the episode) before […]

His Dark Materials – The Idea of the North (A Newbie’s Perspective)

November 13, 2019November 15, 2019Jean HeneganComment(0)

So, I will admit that I wasn’t all that invested in “The Idea of the North,” the second episode of His Dark Materials. At least until that bonkers crazy twist where there is a multiverse?!? What?!? And with that, all my mundane questions about the rules of the fantasy world of the series (some of […]
