The second season of His Dark Materials has come to its conclusion which sees the series live up to the title. Lyra, Will, and the witches have to decide on what their next course of action. Lyra fears that the witches will suffer the same fate as Roger if she stays with them. Will has […]
The mythology and history of Cleopatra, pharaoh of Egypt, has often been a topic in popular culture, from Hollywood films, webcomics like Everywhere and Nowhere, and mature animated series such as Clone High. This year, a new show, titled Cleopatra in Space, tapped into those myths and stories and began streaming on NBCUniversal’s new streaming […]
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 […]

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 […]
“Yesterday, Seattle reported 345 more cases, 29 deaths. Test positivity rate has increased, so we should prepare for more patients… 53 of the 79 ventilators are currently in use…” That’s not a status report from Seattle’s mayor but part of an opening sequence in last week’s Grey’s Anatomy, as doctors at the fictional Seattle Grey […]
Following on from the events of “Tower of the Angels” that stuck closely to events of the books, “The Scholar” takes a bigger diversion from the source material. Will and Lyra have decided to steal the Alethiometer back from Sir Charles Latrom. With the Subtle Knife in their possession, they plan to bypass Latrom’s security […]
