“The Giggle,” the last of the three 60th Anniversary Doctor Who specials was a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, we got to see another clash with the Toymaker – and see a stellar guest starring turn from Neil Patrick Harris. On the other, Russel T. Davies opted to play fast and […]

Culprits Review
Culprits, a new British thriller, isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel. It’s a show that knows the story it is telling isn’t particularly novel – we’ve all seen stories like this one before – but it’s determined to provide us with exceptional performances, great direction, strong fight choreography, and compelling characters in order to take […]
Doctor Who – Wild Blue Yonder Review
What a wonderful surprise at the close of the episode – Wilf (the late, great Bernard Cribbins) reunited with the Doctor once more! Sure, we knew Cribbins would be appearing this season, but I hadn’t expected him to be around at this stage of the game (with hopefully another appearance in the finale of these […]
Loki – Glorious Purpose Review
Before I get into the process of breaking down the finale (and really, the entire arc the series took Loki on this season), I wanted to make it clear that the writers absolutely did right by the character with how and where he ended this season. The realization by Loki that he needs to be […]
Loki – Heart of the TVA Review
Well, that was unexpected. Although, after an episode that highlighted the various ouroboros instances that have occurred throughout the series thus far (OB creating the TVA manual from Victor’s notes while Victor created his notes from the TVA manual and Loki finding his past self to prune him so that his current self could continue […]
Loki – 1893 Review
Well, that was a bit of a mixed bag of an episode. On the one hand, we finally got a better idea of just what Miss Minutes has been up to (and, as many guessed, she was indeed up to no good), along with how Ravonna Renslayer fits into the story after a couple episodes […]
Loki – Breaking Bad Review
Now that felt like the best of Loki. From the excellent character pairings (I’m really enjoying Rafael Casal’s X-5) to the not all that complex story arc within the episode (although I’m still a bit hazy on why the multiple timelines is ok when having them throws the entirety of existence into question*), “Breaking Bad” […]
Loki – Ouroboros Review
After two years and change away, the Norse god of mischief is back for more timeline jumping and pruning with season two of Loki. And considering the state of the MCU in the time that he’s been off our screens, well, his return couldn’t have come soon enough. With the series adding Oscar winner Ke […]
Ahsoka – Part 8: The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord Review
Before I dive into the review, I wanted to offer some kudos to Dave Filoni for that episode title. “The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord” absolutely made me chuckle. And, as I thought more about it, there were plenty of parallels to be found between this episode of Ahsoka and The Lion, the Witch, […]
Ahsoka – Part Seven: Dreams and Madness Review
There are two ways to structure a penultimate episode of a serialized series.* The first has the series’s climactic moment happen, allowing the characters the chance to breathe a bit and deal with the fallout in the finale. Think the final three episodes of Breaking Bad, where the climax of the series happened in the […]
