Hello Tomorrow! Doesn’t Need Its Gimmick

0

By Brandon Scott on Jun 16th, 2025

Hello Tomorrow! is perhaps one of the most unique sci-fi shows to come out in a long time. It’s got such an odd combination of factors that somehow come together to deliver an engaging drama and mystery revolving around a big, central question. But, unlike a lot of other dramas, there’s no hero. This is a show where almost everyone is a scam artist—though some of them don’t actually know they’re running a scam.

Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld: Part 2 – Cad Bane

0

By Brandon Scott on Jun 11th, 2025

Tales of the Underworld didn’t stick the landing. The second part—the Cad Bane part—is not nearly as good as Asajj’s section. The action isn’t as interesting, dynamic, or even as intense. Lightsaber fights are just way cooler than blaster standoffs unless you try really, really hard. And they clearly didn’t.

Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld: Part 1 – Asajj Ventress

0

By Brandon Scott on Jun 9th, 2025

Like the previous “Tales” miniseries for Star Wars, Tales of the Underworld is not actually one narrative. It’s multiple stories bundled together under one theme. And because of that, I decided it would work better to review them separately. The first three episodes are for Asajj Ventress, and the last three episodes are for Cad Bane.

Doctor Who Episodic Coverage: “The Reality War”

0

By Brandon Scott on Jun 2nd, 2025

“The Reality War” is a mess of an episode. I thought “The Empire of Death” failed to stick the landing, but wow. I don’t always make outlines for articles—I’m not that type of writer—but I did for this one, and it is longer than some articles I’ve written. Frankly, it’s hard to hold every opinion and reaction I had over the course of this one episode in my head.

Murderbot: About As Good As The Books

0

By Brandon Scott on May 28th, 2025

Comparing the first three episodes of Murderbot to All Systems Red is a game of pros and cons. As a “fan” of the book series, I was obviously waiting for certain scenes and anticipating how well someone could play SecUnit, but the actual viewing experience was me going “that was good” followed swiftly by disappointment—and on and on it went.

Doctor Who Episodic Coverage: “Wish World”

0

By Brandon Scott on May 26th, 2025

I think one of the most efficient ways to review “Wish World” is to describe a little bit of what it’s like watching “Wish World.” Because this is one of the weirdest, most unmooring episodes of Doctor Who I have ever seen.

Doctor Who Episodic Coverage: “The Interstellar Song Contest”

0

By Brandon Scott on May 19th, 2025

“The Interstellar Song Contest” only has one full song in it. The song is beautifully sung, and important to the plot, yes, but “The Church on Ruby Road” somehow gets a fully laid out song, with lyrics, and a dance number, and this one doesn’t? We get the full Mr. Ring-A-Ding number basically twice in “Lux,” but the scenes here keep cutting away for every performance? That’s so weird. This is a weird way to do this story.

Doctor Who Episodic Coverage: “The Story and the Engine”

0

By Brandon Scott on May 12th, 2025

“The Story and the Engine” is quite the writing feat. Of all of the episodes this season—or last season—it feels like it has the most going on. Plotlines are not only densely interlocked, but the foreshadowing happens quickly and frequently. And, somehow, this episode is also one of the most expansive for the overall magical lore of Doctor Who.

Doctor Who Episodic Coverage: “Lucky Day”

0

By Brandon Scott on May 7th, 2025

I sadly disliked “Lucky Day” more than I expected. I get the vision. The idea is sound. Frankly, like a lot of episodes in this season so far, this is such a cool idea for a Doctor Who episode. But as time has gone on, I’ve been less and less fond of this one.

Doctor Who Episodic Coverage: “The Well”

0

By Brandon Scott on Apr 28th, 2025

“The Well” is kind of everything I want from a spooky Doctor Who episode. It’s a classic science fiction horror scenario—abandoned, hostile location—with a pinch of cosmic unknowableness, and a slower pace to build that dread. It’s a shame that a few moments brought down the otherwise excellent experience slightly.

Doctor Who Episodic Coverage: “Lux”

0

By Brandon Scott on Apr 21st, 2025

Alright, “Lux,” I’m onto that game. Having canonical critics in the episode point out its flaws to prevent people from considering them flaws is a fun trick. Hilariously, I hadn’t been bothered—or even noticed, honestly—that Lux changed his plan halfway through. I had long ago just accepted that this was going to be a surreal episode that wanted to really play with the fourth wall and that it wouldn’t have much of a true story.

Doctor Who Episodic Coverage: “The Robot Revolution”

0

By Brandon Scott on Apr 14th, 2025

“The Robot Revolution” has given me a bit of a theory about Doctor Who as a series—at least lately. I don’t think its runtime allows it to satisfactorily run two simultaneous plotlines well. Something’s going to give.
