My top is always changing. These kinds of lists are hardest to do because, when attempting to squeeze the best of the best into ten numbers, or even forty or a hundred, you’re bound to leave something out. I watch so many movies, and it was tragically difficult to put them all into a list….
I spoil a bit, but it won’t ruin the central plot of OB. Just saying, BEWARE. FACT: Rachel Duncan is a stuck up hoebag. Arguably one of the most intimidating and unrelatable characters on Orphan Black, every week Rachel traumatizes households across the globe with her permanent I-Will-Eat-Your-Children-and-Sacrifice-You-to-the-Devil face. I love it, and you love…
BEWARE: I SPOIL. I absolutely love it when Helena goes insane. People forget that you can’t speak logically to a crazy person in the same way that you would speak to a normal person. You can’t plead for your life—they’re insane. Cry to the walls! The walls might hear you better. Someone should’ve told Henrik…
BEWARE: I SPOIL. Ya’ll…who in the hell is this MAN? This episode we got a rather startling introduction to a transgender man named Tony, or, as I like to call him, Sarah with a Beard. He approaches with Art, wanting to know answers and asking about Beth. His friend, Sammy, was killed, and Art instantly…
I would like for it to be noted that, while this piece was written prior to the release of this Saturday’s Orphan Black, the information herein is still relevant (especially when compared to what actually happened for comical purposes). Also, let it be known that our review of the latest episode will be out soon. –The…
We’ve seen the apocalypse. We’ve seen attacks on Earth’s civilizations by an unknown species, zombies, a third World War that left nations across the globe staggering. Pretty much every form of mass destruction that could befall our little planet has, and yet, here’s another. Starring Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh, Troy Garity, Hiroyuki Sanada,…
BEWARE: Spoilage here. There is none. There is no feminism in Metal Hurlant Chronicles. Female characters are reduced to being sexually exploited tropes with absolutely no substance or characterization that would enable them to contribute to the plot of an episode. As I’ve mentioned in previous MHC recaps, women are portrayed as either sex symbols,…
BEWARE: I spoil. I am scared for Helena. Everything was okay in the beginning. It was beautiful. Here, let’s rewind a bit. Sarah and Helena go on their first road trip together to discover what happened to Dr. Ethan Duncan after Project Leda. This adventure is topped off by a sisterly tent scene and a…
“Sansa was a lady at three, always so courteous and eager to please. She loved nothing so well as tales of knightly valor. Men would say she had my look, but she will grow into a woman far more beautiful than I ever was, you can see that. I often sent away her maid so…
BEWARE: I spoil. Whoever told you that nice guys finish last is a liar and they should be flogged. This week, Metal Hurlant Chronicles opens up its hour finale with an episode about a man who promptly announces that he’s having a bad day. Now, being seasoned MHC watchers, we know that nothing is…
BEWARE: I spoil. “Pledge of Anya” takes us to an ancient world, covered in canyons and deserts. A small group of people foresee an imbalance on Earth that will wreak havoc on future human civilizations. This “dragon,” as they call it, will be hidden among the humans, and it is their duty to send a…
Today was the best day of my life. I am so happy with this episode. They didn’t throw me off a cliff, and when I cried, it was from tears of joy. Finally, we get an episode with LOTS of Helena (that’s why there are so many Helena pictures). But, before we get into her,…
