This week’s episode of The Last of Us had a delightful smattering of what makes the series work, as well as all the elements that drive me nuts. Which, to be honest, is a pretty impressive combination for a single hour of television. And the tease of a flashback episode next week? Yeah, that’s something […]
What a lovely exploration of African gods, the tradition of storytelling, and Nigerian culture as a whole. And the idea that our “villain” is a mortal who was used by the gods for his stories, desperate to regain control not only over the tales that he lost to them but to make a name for […]
So, the question I have after “Mrs. Table”, aka the episode where Ava and Deborah reunite once more, is did Deborah get off the hook a bit too easily? Honestly, yeah, she did. But then again, Ava was always going to forgive her at some point – she cares too much about her and desperately […]
Well, for my money, those were the finest three hours of Star Wars in the history of the series. From watching the destruction of Ghorman to the rise of Mon Mothma as the leader of the Rebellion to the collapse of two central relationships within the series, so much of what occurred in this three-episode […]
A bit of housecleaning before we dive into the review. I have not played The Last of Us and have (miraculously) managed to remain completely in the dark about the contents of the second game – upon which this and the third and final season of the series will be based. So, these reviews will […]
I had been wondering what had become of Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson, a force in her return to this universe), so I was delighted to see her back on our screen. And even though she didn’t get a chance to reunite with The Doctor once more – this was one of the Doctor-lite episodes that […]
Well, well, well. I’m very intrigued with what Paul W. Downs, Jen Statsky, and Lucia Aniello have planned for the final set of episodes this season, because this is the first time we’ve really seen Deborah be the one who is hurt by Ava’s indifference towards her. Now, was Stacey (the always wonderful Michaela Watkins*) […]
Well, that was quite the episode! Not only did we get a nice call back to the Tennant era of Who (now a pretty common occurrence thanks to Russell T Davies’ return to the helm of the series), but we also got a horror-infused mystery with genuine jump scares (which is a heck of a […]
Out of our initial two batches of episodes in this final season of Andor, this triptych was the weaker of the two, spending most of its three hours laying the groundwork for what is likely going to befall Ghorman – and reverberate out and impact all of our characters – in the coming episodes. However, […]
