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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I wanted to like The Wilds, I really did. And, to be honest, there are definitely some things to like about the new Amazon drama. Unfortunately, despite trying to sell itself as something new and interesting, the series really just hits a lot of the same notes we’ve heard before with a more diverse, female […]
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 […]
