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
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 Book Fan’s Perspective)
After three episodes of build-up, His Dark Materials finally moves the story onto the North and introduces two popular characters from the novels. The Gyptians have arrived in the port town of Trollesund and immediately set out to find allies to aid them on their quest. Farder Corman (James Cosmo) and Lyra (Dafne Keen) go to The Witch’s Counsel […]
His Dark Materials – Armour Review (A Newbie’s Perspective)
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
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
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
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 […]
Curious Jeff: Goldblum Show Finds Facts but Loses Audience
Shoes. Ice Cream. Tattoos. Denim. Coffee. Cosmetics. What is the story behind simple things that cause us so much enjoyment? These are the questions Jeff Goldblum poses in his Disney+ series The World According to Jeff Goldblum, produced by National Geographic and Nutopia. While the concept may be simple, the product is a confusing mess. […]
Rick and Morty – Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Repeat Review
RREveryone’s favourite grandfather and grandson duo are back for a fourth season and more sci-fi adventures. On their latest adventure Rick takes Morty to a planet where he can obtain death crystals – items that allow people to see how they die. Ironically, Rick doesn’t foresee his own death due to Morty seeing a future […]
His Dark Materials – The Spies Review (A Book Fan’s Perspective)
The third episode of His Dark Materials expands upon the source material with Mrs. Coulter and the Magisterium desperate to find Lyra. At the end of “The Idea of North” Lyra (Dafne Keen) has been taken hostage by The Gobblers. Fortunately, she’s rescued immediately by the Gyptians and they take her with them to their meeting at The Fens. […]
