Well, so the truth as to what really went down on Brendock sixteen years ago wasn’t exactly what I predicted last week. For one, Vernestra doesn’t appear to have anything to do with that particular incident (although I suspect mine – and pretty much everyone else’s – prediction that she has a connection to Qimir, […]
In my recent post, I examined similarities and differences between five new anime: Train to the End of the World, Whisper Me a Love Song, The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio, Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night (also known as YoruKura), and Girls Band Cry. This post continues this analysis, noting how the last […]
If there one thing we never really saw during Game of Thrones it was just how destructive dragons could be. Sure, we got to see Dany mow down enemies in battle from time to time, but the true destruction and loss of life wrought by her posse of dragons was always at her behest – […]
Originally I hadn’t been planning on writing this article, but when putting together my list of the top 20 anime for 2024, I realized that many had yuri themes, either as romantic or platonic yuri, so this article made more sense. Specifically, Pon no Michi, Metallic Rouge, Madlax, Train to the End of the World, […]
Something is rotten in the Jedi Order. At least that’s the major conclusion I’ve come to following “Teach/Corrupt,” a much quieter episode than past installments of The Acolyte, but one that – from its title to the conversations contained within – was designed to make sure we began to question just who might have the […]
Now that is what I have been waiting for from House of the Dragon for quite some time. That conversation between Rhaenyra and Alicent was the epitome of what makes a tragedy a great tragedy. That moment of realization that one single misstep, one choice, one misunderstanding set in motion something so complex and unstoppable […]
The first portion of this review will contain some general thoughts about season three of The Bear. The second portion will have spoiler-filled, specific thoughts on what worked and what didn’t about this season. But fear not! There will be a clear delineation between the two sections, just in case you haven’t finished your binge […]
I am genuinely perplexed as to exactly what Leslye Headland and her writing staff are trying to do with The Acolyte at this stage of the game. It appeared that the reveal of Qimir as The Master was meant to be a surprise of some kind, when the series not only completely tipped its hand […]
After last week’s relatively disappointing premiere episode (in which nothing really happened until the close – and I’ve since been informed that the Blood and Cheese incident from the book is much more disturbing than the one presented in the series, which further adds to the disappointment), this week’s installment of House of the Dragon […]
After the epic close of last week’s episode, I expected an equally epic conclusion to the story. Alas, what we got was a mixed bag from a storytelling perspective, with our heroes defeating the seemingly undefeatable villain with very little effort on the part of The Doctor. The Ruby reveal, while anti-climactic in the end, […]
