This is the episode that I’ve been waiting for. Despite the plot holes, “Listen” was the best episode so far in Capaldi’s tenure as the Doctor. What if we’re never really alone? Personally, I’ve never been afraid of something under the bed (maybe under my car at night, but that was because there was some kind…
“Didn’t your mom ever tell you not to pick up hitchhikers?” We’re going to start calling our creepy little girl Marcus, since only flashing images remain of Madison. Incidentally, Marcus is so much more interesting and less confusing than Amy. We finally see him in a more appropriate body, an old man Shepherd has been…
It would appear that I have finished one confusing series (The Leftovers) only to begin a new one that is also frustratingly mysterious. Intruders first aired on BBC America right after the Doctor Who premiere on August 25th, which is probably why I heard about it. Because in the beginning, there was death. The series opens with…
Trust me when I say that I love Daleks. With a few exceptions, Dalek episodes always turn out to be some of my favorites from a season. Unfortunately, this is an exception. The episode started out well enough, though a little awkward, with the Doctor pulling a soldier out of a ship that was about…
The first season of The Leftovers has been a confusing roller coaster of insanity. Going into the season finale, I was prepared to feel unsatisfied with the ending and pull my hair out waiting for season two. Instead, I was in total awe. First of all, the GR definitely achieved their goal. They made the entire…
When True Blood began in 2008, we were introduced to a new political world in which vampires had finally come “out of the coffin,” thanks to a Japanese made synthetic drink called Tru Blood. The series spared no expense on blood, gore and the most scandalous sex scenes we could think of. That said, I felt…
“Here we go again.” There is usually a cycle that Whovians go through when the Doctor regenerates. First, we usually dislike the new Doctor. We were already so attached to the previous Doctor that, when a new man takes over the TARDIS, there’s a certain resentment. Until we fall in love. Which is around the…
Welcome to Pre-view, Post-View! As many of you may know, we here at Sci-Fi Bloggers like to try out different kinds of segments, pieces, etc., every once in a while to see what works and what doesn’t. In Pre-view, Post-view, you’ll get to see the viewpoint of the writer prior to and after the show being reviewed,…
First of all, I’d like to say NO, Patti, I don’t understand. I’m so confused. Okay, let’s get started. As Kevin Garvey is preparing a lovely dinner to introduce his new girlfriend, Nora, to his daughter, Patti is hard at work laying out clothes, toys and shoes in the church that she bought from Matt….
I’m fairly certain that, at this point in The Leftovers, we as viewers should abandon all hope of ever learning exactly what caused the “Departure.” This show has gradually become less about why the human race is coping with such a catastrophic event and more about how. And frankly, as far as coping goes, I think…
If I had to think of one word to describe the first season of ABC’s S.H.I.E.L.D., it would definitely be stressful. It started out normal enough: we had the usual weekly case of strange, sometimes alien occurrences as we got to know our six agents. And then, of course, there came the episode that was…
First off, all jokes about stoning will never be nearly as funny as they were prior to last Sunday. I’ve seen a lot of gruesome deaths (being into Game of Thrones and all), but this one was so upsetting and brutal, really. What I’m suspicious about was what happened right before it: all we see…
