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 […]

Rick and Morty – Night Family Review
“Rick: A Mort Well Lived” and “Bethic Twinstinct” have been great episodes of Rick and Morty and showed that there’s still life in the show. “Night Family” is even better and the best episode of Season Six, so far. Rick has brought a device that allowed him to programme his body to do tasks whilst he’s asleep. […]
Andor – Aldhani Review
This week’s episode of Andor moved the action away from Ferrix and to Aldhani – a planent with not much going for it except for an Imperial base that is perfectly set-up to be raided by some rebellion assets with the help of our boy Cassian – and Coruscant – where we get introduced to […]
House of the Dragon – The Princess and the Queen Review
So here we are – ten years further into the future with a host of new actors, new characters, and the same old grudges (just a bit more fermented and with more furor simmering under – and in some cases, over – the surface*). I must admit, while I still believe the series would have […]
The Rings of Power – Partings Review
With the aptly named “Partings,” The Rings of Power officially pushed each of its four storylines into second gear. While I am still struggling to find a connection worth rooting for in the Southlands section of the series (Arondir and Bronwyn continue to be more archetypal cyphers than actual characters), this was the first week […]
She-Hulk – Just Jen Review
“Just Jen,” the sixth installment in She-Hulk’s first season was an interesting episode. Not so much interesting in terms of exploring Jen’s growing attachment to her hulked out persona. Or even interesting as a story. But interesting in that the episode’s B-plot (that would be Mallory and Nikki working to get Mr. Immortal out from […]
Andor – Episodes 1-3 Review
In the interest of honest reviewing, I feel that I should start this review of Andor off with the statement that I wasn’t a fan of Rogue One. I certainly didn’t hate it – I appreciated that the story was allowed to go to darker places than most Star Wars properties and I really liked […]
Rick and Morty – Bethic Twinstinct Review
Rick and Morty are having their second Thanksgiving episode. This episode sees Space Beth joining the Smith family for the holiday, resulting in emotional upheaval for the family. Space Beth comes to Earth to spend time with the Smiths. Space Beth and Earth Beth get close to each other and find they are a perfect match. […]
House of the Dragon – We Light the Way Review
We’ve come to the end of an age within House of the Dragon – with Rhaenyra wed to Ser Laenor Velaryon, Queen Alicent all but raising her Hightower bannermen up against Rhaenyra’s claim to the throne (and at her wedding rehearsal dinner, no less), Daemon killing his wife and freeing himself to make a claim […]
Reboot – Season One Review
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – a classic 80s/early 90s sitcom has struck a chord with the ascending adults of a young generation (maybe they recall it fondly from their childhood, maybe they found it again on streaming, maybe they are just wondering what ever happened that that actor . . .) […]
