Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Review. Going Boldly Exactly Where It Was Supposed to Go.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Review Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2, the show’s sophomore outing, was anything but timid, even if they continue to employ the laziness of time travel to create character moments. But that can be forgiven in light of all the other great […]
Star Trek Picard Season 3: The Right Way to Send Off TNG, Finally!
Star Trek Picard Season 3 Review I watch Star Trek TOS anytime it is one, and usually, the same goes for TNG. DS9, Voyager and Enterprise usually don’t garner the same loyalty, but I have watched each episode dozens of times. I can’t say the same for the new Paramount […]
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Thankfully Goes Where Star Trek Has Gone Before
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Review After several attempts to reinvent Star Trek for a new generation of viewers, the Paramount team finally decided to accept people loved the original Star Trek for a reason, and that reason does not require reinvention.

Obi-Wan Kenobi‘s Modern Star Trek Problem
When the Starship Enterprise launched on its maiden voyage on September 8, 1966, it launched without precedent, without canon, and without expectations (except perhaps from Gene Roddenberry and the network executives). Star Trek fulfilled its mission to boldly go where no one has gone before. Until a decade after its […]
Review: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Season 2
Miriam “Midge” Maisel is on the scene and making her mark. Throughout The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, season 2, we watch Midge master her comedy skills and explore a new love life all the while maintaining her perfectly polished persona.

Midge Maisel is working very hard to put everything in her life in the right place, then her husband goes and blows it all up! The housewife trope may be tired, but Midge is just getting started. The series is sharp and engaging while inverting, subverting, and celebrating the 1950’s […]
And Just Like That… Premiere Review
In the pilot episode, he analyzed her noting one simple truth about Carrie Bradshaw, “You have never been in love.” At the moment Carrie felt this statement like a blow to her system. Despite her constant talk about love and relationships, he saw what she really wanted and never had. […]
Review: Loki Fabulously Jumpstarts the Marvel Multiverse
Review: Loki Every Marvel fan should watch Loki. The show sits at the crossroads between Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) phases. I’m sure there will be some necessary replay to ensure that when a film requires Loki plot points non-Disney+ subscribers won’t collectively stare into the void and ask, “WTF?” According […]
Review: Hacks
Irreverent, relevant, and very funny. Hacks on HBO Max is a bright comedy about an up-and-coming young comedy writer, Ava, being forcibly paired with an old-school Las Vegas standup comedian, Debbie Vance. Their antics and dramatics level up from caddy to joyfully entertaining. It’s Funnier That Way Ava is a […]
Wynonna Earp: Leaving Purgatory
Wynona Earp drives off into the midday sun on a motorcycle with Doc. But not without Peacemaker making one more kill, Doc Holliday’s beloved car, Charlene. And thus one of the campiest shows in television history follows its broken curse into streaming oblivion. But let me back up. Before initiating […]
