Classic Coverage looks back on the episodes of past shows from a modern perspective.
If Babylon 5 could be said to have a Halloween episode it would be this one. A mysterious derelict ship, an ancient enemy, and a red herring survivor all combine for a decently spooky episode that is let down somewhat … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“The Long Dark”
Ghost Fly | Aired: October 28, 2014 | Reviewed by Stars Hi everyone. Your friendly neighbourhood Stars has returned 👋🏽. A little housekeeping: Sorry I haven’t been around in awhile. Went abroad, got busy, struggled with some stuff & forgot … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Ghost Fly” and “Everything’s Jake”
A Distant Star is the first weak episode of Season 2 in my opinion. Though not as bad as the worst of Season 1 (looking at you Infection). It represents the last of the “Sheridan settling in arc” and expands … Continue reading The Last Best Hope… “A Distant Star”
Nemesis | Boarded by: Jesse Moynihan and Derek Ballard | Originally Aired: August 7, 2014 | Reviewed by: Lyssie What do we think about when we try to evaluate people we like?

After the high stakes of a brand new captain, and a mysterious ancient enemy, episode three is a bit more light hearted(aside from one character seemingly idly contemplating suicide). None of the plot points here are going to reverberate throughout … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…-“The Geometry of Shadows”

This episode kind of feels like the original Season 2 premiere. Last weeks episode was an emergency story that had to deliver a great deal of exposition about a sudden new lead character. It was such a large task that … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “Revelations”

Star Trek: The Next Generation – Season 1, Episode 21 “Arsenal of Freedom,” like much of Season 1 of The Next Generation, is not an amazing episode, but it is an all around entertaining one. I appreciate adventures that utilize … Continue reading You Talking Trek to Me? (Best of TNG) – “The Arsenal of Freedom”
“When does Adventure Time get good?” Adventure Time aired for 10 seasons over 8 and a half years and ~283ish episodes, plus 4 hourlong made-for-streaming movies, a 10 episode half hour streaming miniseries, with a second season on the way, … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Little Brother” and “Ocarina”
Season 1’s title was “Signs and Portents” and it was a season all about establishing the universe while hinting at what was to come. By and large it did a great job at that, establishing several long running conflicts, and … Continue reading The Last Best Hope…- “Points of Departure”
Well here we are. I started this project while on my Christmas vacation and twenty two weeks later we have come upon the first big milestone, the season 1 finale “Chrysalis”. All of season 1 has been one great exercise … Continue reading The Last Best Hope… -“Chrysalis”

The Quality of Mercy is an excellent choice for a penultimate episode of the season. It has some light hearted bits while also expanding on the universe in interesting ways. We get new information on Centauri biology and Minbari morality. … Continue reading The Last Best Hope… – “The Quality of Mercy”
It’s so cool when a classic American cartoon incorporates Japanese artistry in innovative ways: Adventure Time invited Fukuoka native, Masaaki Yuasa, to write, storyboard, and direct the episode “Food Chain,” and he really did his thing with it. I didn’t … Continue reading Come Along With Me: Adventure Time – “Food Chain” and “Furniture & Meat”
Now we are in the home stretch of Season 1. There were some wobbly episodes in the middle, and some so so performances from the main cast (Jerry Doyle) and some of the guest actors, but this is the start … Continue reading The Last Best Hope… -“Babylon Squared”
***Content Warning: Mention of rape.*** Star Trek: The Next Generation – Season 1, Episode 6 As I’ve said before, I really love when Star Trek goes totally bonkers with high concept ideas that probe the limits of imagination. “Where No … Continue reading You Talking Trek to Me? (Best of TNG) – “Where No One Has Gone Before”
The episode starts out with a bang–or, more accurately, a frenetic montage of… stuff. A coyote snarling. Storm clouds. Crashing waves. Wildfires. Traffic. It turns out we’re getting a glimpse into the scattered thoughts of an insomniac Holling’s restless mind … Continue reading Northern Exposure, Season 2, Episode 6: War and Peace
