There are problems. Time has stopped in the real world, where a malevolent government spook has opened fire on our leads. Nobody moves, as they are all trapped inside an illusion created by a psychic parasite. And our main character … Continue reading Legion, Chapter 7
Things are starting to make sense. To take shape. For us, the viewer, anyway. For our principals, they have some sense of truth, but for them it remains out of reach. Down a hallway, behind a door that might be … Continue reading Legion, Chapter 6
Intimacy is a frightening thing. It means vulnerability, and it means exposure. It means truth. I can only imagine what telepathy is like, but I assume it is pure mental intimacy. No pretense. Only the truth. When this episode ends, … Continue reading Legion, Chapter 5
Conflict is no longer brewing. It is live and we are go. Things move slowly, for a while. And then, not as slowly. The picture is coming together a little more, but there are some challenges. The opposition is no … Continue reading Legion, Chapter 4
Christ, what a tense hour of television. After the pilot – in which reality was continually rearranged and rarely explained – the show was due for some exposition, for some kind of direction. Which it has provided. Very little of … Continue reading Legion, Chapter 3
Sometimes moving forward means looking backward, understanding how to progress by figuring out how the present came to be. Chapter 2 is spent largely in the past, but make no mistake, this is progress. If Chapter 1 was dumping all … Continue reading Legion, Chapter 2
Chapter 1 We are in the Sixties…maybe. The Who rail against us as we speed through David’s youth, glimpses of carefree happiness sprinkled in a path of growing trouble. The pace here is harried, and the cheery music placed against … Continue reading Legion, Chapter 1
With Legends of Tomorrow going on midseason hiatus, I decided that an article was necessary. I should disable comments, because these rankings are objectively correct, but I’ll leave this open so that people can agree with these rankings. Also I do … Continue reading Legends of Tomorrow: S4 Character Rankings
This has probably shown up in the OTs, but I don’t see a thread yet. So here it is! Good Omens Trailer I’m charmed by this. Fussy Michael Sheen and David Tenant adding 10% more dracula to his Fright Night remake … Continue reading Good Omens Trailer Reaction Thread
I want to start by saying I’m not really a ‘movie’ kind of cat. I don’t have a streaming service, I don’t see a lot of movies in the theater. But those movies that I do see, I tend to … Continue reading Movie Reviews: BlacKkKlansman
I am here to talk about TV. When I heard the premise of the show – some ladies committing crimes – I was all okay. When I found out about the cast, I was all okay! This show has an … Continue reading Good Girls Season One Review
What it is. Let’s talk about this show and hope it turns out okay. Continue reading Good Girls premiere thread
This is your space to discuss Eagles Vs Patriots, the commercials, why Justin Timberlake gets to do a halftime show but Janet Jackson is nowhere to be found, snacks, The Puppy Bowl, the kitty halftime of the Puppy Bowl, etc. … Continue reading Super Bowl Live Thread
So, it’s over. Let’s talk about the season as a whole, and a little about the show in general. What about Season 3? It’s very good as a whole. The first half suffers from some pacing problems, which is the … Continue reading Hannibal: Season 3 Recap
This is where it ends. Will confronts everything in this episode – Hannibal, the Red Dragon, himself. There is an incredible amount of uncertainty around his endgame. But when the episode ends, and the camera looks over the cliff to … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E13 “The Wrath of the Lamb”
DO YOU SEE Our protagonists are suffering. There’s no other way to say it. Alana is cold and ruthless, Jack is desperate and reckless, and Will – he has become his old self, haunted by his experiences and his own … Continue reading Hannibal: Episode 12 “The Number of the Beast is 666”
We open with Francis eating the Blake painting, and cut to Will, explaining his confrontation to Jack and Alana. This is very much a microcosm of where these characters are: Jack, pissed off; Alana, cold and pragmatic; Will, affected and … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E11 “And the Beast From the Sea”
“Extreme acts of cruelty require a high level of empathy.” First off: this episode has a different title than the previous episode. They are different! The title here is deliberate and not a mistake. Having said that… We are nearing … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E10 “And the Woman Clothed in the Sun”
Episode 9, “And the Woman Clothed With the Sun…” We open right where we left off. Will visiting Hannibal in the BSHCI. “I’m more comfortable the less personal we are,” Will states. The words only make explicit what we can … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E09 “And the Woman Clothed With the Sun”
We open on a hand. The view moves to a face – a new one – sitting alone in a café. There is no dialogue here, only percussive music, as we follow this new face – F. Dolarhyde, as per … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E08 “The Great Red Dragon”
“I think we’re all working through some issues.” We open in Florence. One step back. La policia storms Hannibal’s place, cutting in (ha ha) just in time to spare Will from the saw. A mostly sedated Jack implores la policia … Continue reading Hannibal: S03E07 “Digestivo”
