Well, we learned an awful lot about the Others, their particular world view, and just what they can and cannot do to the world around them and the Survivors themselves this week. Oh, and we also got a bit more time with Manousos, Carol’s best chance at a partner in crime when it comes to […]

Spartacus: House of Ashur Review
Jupiter’s cock, there’s a new season of Spartacus heading to Starz this weekend. Now, if everything in the last sentence made absolutely no sense to you, Spartacus: House of Ashur is probably not the right show for you to dive into right now – but more in a moment on what those unfamiliar with the […]
Rocking out and taking out monsters: The power of music in anime [Part 2]
Part one focused on some recent music anime which aired this year, specifically Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast, You and Idol Pretty Cure, and Rock Is a Lady’s Modesty, along with those which aired in previous years: Love Live!!

Stranger Things – Season Five Part One Review
It’s been a minute since we last visited Hawkins, Indiana to check up on how the denizens of the town were dealing with the incursion of The Upside Down – and its terrifying mayor, Vecna (or Henry Creel or One, depending on which point in time you’re dealing with him). In the three years since […]
Pluribus – Got Milk Review
So, I think it’s safe to posit that we’ve got a Soylent Green situation on our hands, no? Okay, let me back up a tad before jumping to the episode’s cliffhanger ending (or, at least, cliffhanger-esque – the potential clues for what will be revealed next week have been pretty clearly laid out for us […]
A Man on the Inside Season Two Review
There’s something truly magical about a Mike Schur show. Despite being half hour comedies, there’s so much heart baked into each episode – so much care given to crafting each character – that you get to the end of a season and find yourself desperately wishing you could have just a couple more minutes with […]
Pluribus – Please, Carol Review
The word of the week on Pluribus is “agency.” As in, does Carol have the agency – which was promised to her by the Hive – to decide whether or not she wants to join them? And, on the flip side, does the Hive have the agency to determine that they want to remain as […]
Pluribus – Grenade Review
I once spent a night in an ice hotel. It was my sister’s dream stop on our Scandinavian vacation and since I had made her check something off my bucket list (that would be seeing Edvard Munch’s The Scream), I agreed to sleep in a room made of ice. On a bed made of ice. […]
Rocking out and taking out monsters: The power of music in anime [Part 1]
Music has always been important in anime, but especially in recent years. This year alone, at least seven music series aired, specifically BanG Dream! Ave Mujica (also known as Ave Mujica – The Die is Cast), Flower and Asura, Harmony of Mille-Feuille, Maebashi Witches, Princession Orchestra, You and Idol Pretty Cure, and Rock Is a […]
Pluribus – We Is Us and Pirate Lady Review
Well, that’s a heck of a start to the show, no? From spending the pilot letting us get a feel for just who Carol was, laying out just how the Joining came to be, and exploring a bit of how this new world order has impacted half of our surviving “humans” in very different ways, […]
