The second season of His Dark Materials has reached its penultimate episode with its main characters coalescing in Cittàgazze. The forces for and against freedom continue to make movements for the upcoming war with the Angels making their first appearance since the last war. The Witches have arrived in Cittàgazze and save Lyra and Will […]
When I reviewed the fourth season of The Expanse last year, my main takeaway (after watching the first six episodes that had been provided for critics) was that it was shaping up to be a good, but not great season of the series. And upon finishing it, that was what it ultimately turned out to […]
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.

Once again, Big Mouth managed to explore the good, the bad, and the very ugly aspects of adolescence, this time with a healthy dose of meta commentary (which only served to make the show even more enjoyable). Yes, the series is crass. Yes, it’s certainly not for everyone. But boy does it hit on the […]
Another strong set of episodes from Star Trek: Discovery this time around, albeit two very different types. “Unification III” was a great character showcase for Burnham, providing a long overdue discussion (and resolution) to the continuing conflict between the Vulcan elements of Bunham’s personality and her humanity while laying out her current conundrum regarding her […]
Some people have been avoiding grocery stores because of Covid and relying on grocery delivery, but it seems there’s another type of grocery store we should avoid—the one on TV in the form of Supermarket Sweep (ABC, Sundays, 8pm EST). There are some game shows that come back with new energy—like ABC’s Press Your Luck, […]
For my twelfth birthday, all I wanted were Star Wars toys. And boy did I get them. The coolest of the bunch was Boba Fett’s ship, Slave I that came complete with a miniature version of Fett and Han Solo encased in carbonite. Even as a kid I knew that The Empire Strikes Back was […]
