As an American*, I have to admit that the Eurovision Song Contest and all that it entails is rather foreign to me. (Although my social media tells me that it ended today and Austria took home the crown, so congrats to them.) Which means that the outer trappings of this week’s Doctor Who were lost […]
I remember that, years ago now, when I watched the pilot of Andor, I had pretty low hopes for the series. After all, I hadn’t been a big fan of Rogue One. I felt there had been precious little character development in the film and I didn’t care all that much about the characters as […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, 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, […]
A bit of housecleaning before we get into the review of the first three episodes of Andor’s second, and final, season. When it was first announced that these twelve episodes would be released in a set of four triptychs, I wasn’t sure just how I would cover them. And while I will decide with each […]
Okay, Russell T Davies, I can appreciate that fun bit of trolling at the expense of fans and critics you slotted into “Lux.” Meta callouts don’t always work for me, but this one? Yeah, I chuckled. Especially because “Blink” really is the best episode of the modern run of Doctor Who. But you know what? […]
I had my worries when it was announced that Varada Sethu would be joining the cast of Doctor Who as the newest companion for The Doctor, after her successful guest turn as Mundy Flynn in the first series of Who with the Fifteenth Doctor. She was great in the role – and I’m a huge […]
