We’ve come to the close of this season of Doctor Who, which means that it’s time for Russell T. Davies to dive into the lingering mysteries of the season, hopefully offering explanations that make sense (and resonate on a deeper, character-driven level of storytelling). With part one of the two-part season finale, we get the […]

The Acolyte – Destiny Review
If you’ve followed any of the social media posting around The Acolyte, you’ve probably heard that this week’s episode, “Destiny,” was going to “break Star Wars.” Well, we’ve all seen it now, and I think we can agree* that while the episode injected some interesting new mythology into the world of Star Wars, it definitely […]
Doctor Who – Rogue Review
After last week’s emotional gut-punch of a final note (which we didn’t get any further commentary on this week, not that it was expected but it might have been a nice touch), this episode was much more in the vein of your traditional Doctor Who adventure – except much more queer than in past seasons […]
The Acolyte – Lost/Found and Revenge/Justice Review
When I first heard that The Acolyte was coming to Disney+ as the latest Star Wars television series, I wasn’t all that excited about it. After all, the Star Wars live action television series have been quite the mixed bag, and the track record of late hasn’t been all that great (with Andor being the […]
Doctor Who – Dot and Bubble Review
“What would happen if Doctor Who tried its hand at a Black Mirror episode,” seems like it could have easily been the pitch for “Dot and Bubble,” this week’s Who installment that certainly seemed to pull from the Black Mirror universe in its basic structure – including that gut-punch of a final sequence. And while […]
Doctor Who – 73 Yards Review
One of the hallmarks of a great episode of TV is that it can take you through a gamut of emotions throughout its journey to the end. And that’s precisely what “73 Yards” did, as we walked along with Ruby as she not only attempted to solve the question of just who the woman following […]
Doctor Who – Boom Review
Well, that was quite the episode of Doctor Who. We got a treatise on the horrors of unchecked capitalism (timely, as always), a quick swipe toward militant religiosity (although having the military consist of various Anglican clerics of differing ranks didn’t really have enough time to gel into a statement of sorts – although, you […]
Doctor Who Season 14 Review
If my glowing review of the Doctor Who Christmas special back in December was any indication, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the official start of the latest season of Who for a couple of months now. I’ve been a fan of Ncuti Gatwa’s for a bit now, and his take on the Fifteenth Doctor has, so […]
Hailey’s On It! Spoiler-Filled Review
Hailey’s On It! is a comedy-adventure animated series by Devin Bunje and Nick Stanto. Both are well-known writers and producers. This is the first animated series they’ve created together. Both wrote on series such as Phineas and Ferb and The Replacements. This is the 95th animated TV show produced by Disney Television Animation, since its […]
X-Men ’97 – Fire Made Flesh Review
So, it turned it we got the (extremely truncated) Madelyne Pryor story arc this week – complete with little Nathan Summers getting sent to the future to save his life (which won’t screw him up in any way, no siree!) and Mister Sinister returning to try and manipulate Madelyne and Nathan to do his bidding.
