Season 2, Episode 6 shows The Last Kingdom at its best – an episode that has the right mix of political intrigue, drama, humor, and action. Uthred returns to Winchester to attend King Alfred’s daughter’s wedding after an illicit visit to Danelaw. This action brings the conflict between Uthred and Alfred to a head, with the king […]
It’s been nearly a month since the last episode of Supergirl aired and when I protested the heavy focus on Mon-El of late. I’d like to think that the showrunners were reading my reviews and taking my critiques into consideration. More likely, they took stock of where the show was heading during their weeks-long sabbatical […]
The second episode of Doctor Who’s tenth season has a few noticeable hiccups, but is mostly a solid outing in which new companion Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie) really shines. The Doctor takes Bill on her first proper adventure – the pair visit a human colony from the future that’s being run by robots that communicate […]
This week’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. helped the team come face-to-face with what is really means to have “No Regrets.” Everyone continued to be trapped in the Framework, but somehow they all managed to get a little closer together, even though they all had different ideas of what was fact and what was fiction. The […]
Considering Saul Goodman will one day tell Walter White that Gus Fring is a friend of a friend of a friend, I had been wondering if Jimmy McGill would cross paths with Gus in any way, shape, or form this season on Better Call Saul. Their encounter in Los Pollos Hermanos might qualify as fan […]
The Handmaid’s Tale is an incredibly difficult show to watch. And that’s meant as a compliment. It is visceral, unrelenting, and unafraid to push its story, cast, and characters to the breaking point, and, in turn, force its audience to watch just how horrific this alternate dystopian world is. But, after watching the first three episodes […]
After the exciting events of the previous episode, where Uthred and Ragnar defended Kjartan at the Battle of Dunholm, Episode 5 of Season 2 feels more like a new start. This episode starts three years after the Battle of Dunholm. Uthred is now the Earl of Coccham (the modern day village of Cookham, Berkshire), he has […]
“The Pilot” kicked off Doctor Who‘s tenth series, which will be the final season for both showrunner Steven Moffat and Twelfth Doctor actor Peter Capaldi, by introducing new companion Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie). While Bill seems like a fun character and a welcome addition to the cast, the episode as a whole is somewhat clunky […]
The second season of The Last Kingdom has been solid so far, if unspectacular, and considerably action lite compared to its rivals (i.e. Game of Thrones and Vikings). However, the fourth episode blew the rest of season two out of the water. After the events of the third episode, King Alfred assigns Uthred, Young Ragner and their companions the mission to go […]
In this week’s episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., titled “Identity and Change,” the team was still stuck in The Framework. The hour was spent trying to convince the team in The Framework of their true identities and let’s just say things didn’t go so well. The episode started off promising with Daisy and Coulson […]
