Well, that was a heck of a surprise – at ComicCon, Paramount announced that they would be dropping the much anticipated Strange New Worlds/Lower Decks crossover episode early. So, here I am, on my Saturday, writing up a review I didn’t think I would need to have ready until Thursday. But that’s a sacrifice I’m […]
It’s rare that an episode of television can both make me laugh, freak me out with some really great horror elements, and make me tear up – all within the confines of an hour. But that’s precisely what the great “Lost in Translation” managed to do, all while also giving us a great Uhura-centric episode […]
So help me if Sonya Falsworth turns out the be a Skrull at the last minute in next week’s Secret Invasion finale (although I certainly wouldn’t be shocked with the way the series has kept her character and her motivations shrouded in some secrecy). But, at this stage of the game, with one episode remaining […]
When HBO Max was purged late last year, one of the causalities was the second season of Minx, the delightful comedy about the creation of a Playgirl-esque magazine in the 1970s. Mere weeks away from wrapping filming their second season, the series was cancelled, although the network told the cast and crew they would be […]

What a string of episodes Strange New Worlds has churned out in the first half of their second season. And wow, what a hell of an episode “Charades” was. The trope of a half-human/half-alien losing their alien side isn’t new to Star Trek (Voyager had B’Elanna Torres split into two beings early in its run), […]
When I reviewed the first season of AppleTV+’s big IP series Foundation back in 2021, my main criticism was that the series didn’t take the time to ground its narrative and develop its characters, choosing instead to churn through centuries of plot in at attempt to give us an understanding of this world but less […]
“Beloved” made clear two glaring issues with Secret Invasion that its writers (and Marvel) appear perfectly content to simply ignore. First, the narrative structure of the series is a complete mess. In order to have a cliffhanger last week, the writers were keen to ignore a key plot point (and a really cool, important one!) […]
If you’re a suspect in one murder case during your life, that’s bad luck, but to have it happen a second time? Well, then it might be something about the company you keep. But that’s the situation Aniq (Sam Richardson) and Zoë (Zoë Chao) find themselves in in season two of AppleTV+’s The Afterparty. The […]
