BEWARE: I SPOILS. Everything. Everything. Death. What. No. Stop it. I walked into this episode like a soldier facing an alien invasion. I armed myself with a box of Kleenex, a bucket of popcorn, and an emergency cake to break open in case I became so overwhelmed with grief that I had to stuff my…
It’s well and truly summer in most of the Northern Hemisphere. Some of us may be looking back fondly on the chillier days of which we were formerly complaining. Sometimes the weather just seems like a horrible force out to roast us, or freeze us, or blow us away. The logical part of us says…
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…
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, may I have your attention, please? You’ve been patient. You’ve been diligent. You’ve been loyal. Now, for demonstrating such tremendous qualities, such incredible attributes, such unbelievable resolve, you shall be rewarded! Friends, bloggers, Earthlings, lend me your ears! The time has come, yet again, for you to get your proper dose of excitement, adventure,…
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….
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…
The manga Saturn Apartments is a great example of a story in a rather small genre: slice of life in space. This means that so far nothing has blown up, nobody has flown at the speed of light, and there are no laser guns. But that shouldn’t indicate by any means that the story isn’t…
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…
First aired July 31st, 2011. This latest episode of Falling Skies was packed with both storyline and character progression. There was so much new information it was almost overwhelming. The Resistance has decided to blow up the giant alien structure in Boston, so Tom (played by Noah Wyle), Hal (Drew Roy) and Weaver (Will Patton)…
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…
What in the hell is going on with Adam Markusson? While “regular” isn’t the word I would use for this extremely successful, wealthy, apparently good-looking and intelligent (the list wraps around the corner) young man, it’s supposed to be a given that he would at least check the “human” box, right? No? Matt K. Turner,…
