BEWARE: SPOILS. Every day since Saturday, I’ve woken up like this: “GAGDASKFJSGATRLJGNHJGSNFNGFLKBMMDNSJF ORPHAN BLACK IS ALMOST OVER!!” But there’s hope for tomorrow, everyone! On Syfy, Dominion has finally arrived. I’ve been waiting for this show to premier for months, and now that it’s here, it’s almost everything that I imagined. I say “almost” because the guys…
Some veterans who are seriously injured during war are given prosthetic limbs to cope with life back home. What if instead of fake hands and legs they were given fully functioning robotic limbs? As You Were tells the story of Johnner (played by Trey Holland), a soldier trying to readjust to civilian life with a…
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…

For the few people who haven’t heard about this series, this does contain some minor spoilers because I can’t tell you how awesome this series is without telling you a little bit of the story. 1. Really terrifying merpeople. First, I need to confess that the deep sea terrifies me. It’s so vast and contains…
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: There is nothing here but spoilers and nightmares. This episode should probably just be called “Why the Hendrix Family Needs to Be Heavily Medicated”. While we didn’t get the all clones to the rescue Alison breakout scheme that Cos promised, this episode had a generous dose of Alison’s rehab madness. Fairly early on, Alison…
For hours, they sat there, trying to convince him, but he wouldn’t budge. So, they left, and he drank. More people came, trying to convince him, but he wouldn’t budge. So, they left, and he drank. After a while, I arrived. He was sitting there, still drinking, waiting to die. “Hey there,” I said. The…
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…
