Avatar: Seven Havens had a strong start with its first three episodes, and episodes four to six keep to that high standard. Ellora has fallen into a state of crisis. Bandits have raided the city for its resources, more people are suffering from a fear-induced psychosis, and rumours of the Avatar’s return are spreading after […]
Avatar: Seven Havens is the long-awaited return of the Avatar animated series. The first three episodes set up a radically new world. 225 years ago, the Avatar caused the Cataclysm, a world-ending event. Civilisation has rebuilt itself as The Seven Havens, with one of them being Ellora. In Ellora are long-lost twin sisters Pavi (Saheli […]
Sigh. Every time I start to get my hopes up that Strange New Worlds is going to seriously approach a character’s deep internal trauma this season, I end up disappointed. And this exploration of the light and dark sides of La’an was easily the most disappointed I’ve been with the series in a good while […]
I promise I had no idea this episode was coming when I wrote my review of last week’s installment. But wow, I’m really amazed that only a week after I lamented that Strange New Worlds seems uninterested in writing for its deep bench of main cast members, the show turned around and gave us exactly […]
Now, that was a fun, albeit pretty light in terms of any real story*, episode. As a fan of Erica Ortegas (Melissa Navia is great and deserves more to do), I’m always happy when the writers remember that she exists and let her take center stage (even if that’s only happened a grand total of […]
Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender is a series that is loved by children and adults. It’s a fantasy-action series that combined martial arts, Eastern philosophy and spiritual beliefs, anime, drama, and comedy in a wondrous package. The series gets a feature-length follow-up with Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender. The world is at peace after the […]
Now that’s more like it. What an episode. Easily one of the best in the entire series up to this point. As those who watched AppleTV+’s hit Widow’s Bay this spring know, it’s not easy to craft an effective horror episode. You have to balance legitimate scares – having creepy ghouls walking in the background […]
After I finished watching the fourth season premiere of Strange New Worlds, I will admit that I got nervous. This is how they’re opening the penultimate season of the show? And after a third season that was more miss than hit, it didn’t bode well for what was to come. After all, we still had […]
Now that we’ve reached the end of Starfleet Academy’s first season, I wanted to take a minute to talk about where the show ended up after a bit of a rocky beginning. In my initial review of the season, I had only seen the first six episodes – three of which I really didn’t care […]
We’ve known since day one of Strange New Worlds that the story of Captain Christopher Pike was a tragedy. So, much of what he does within his personal life is shaped by that knowledge – from how he chooses to mentor his crew to his relationship with Marie. And while very few people know about […]
