Classified: France ’44 (PC) – Review

Before your Navy Seals and modern US Rangers, the UK was forced to create the special forces as we know them today. While David Stirling and the SAS were off in Africa and eventually taking on Operation Pegasus, and the SBS were…

Lower Decks “Old Friends, New Planets” – Review

An episode that’s a 30-minute version of Wrath of Khan, with heavy connections to TNG, including “Lower Decks?” I’m in! Directed by Bob Suarez, he returns from “Something Borrowed, Something Green” and “A Few Badgeys More” from earlier this season. As I’ve said before,…

Lower Decks “The Inner Fight” – Review

“What in the minimalist hell…” Finally, someone agrees with me, this simple and minimalist design everyone is going for is horrible. Maybe I should note that Mike McMahan’s “The Inner Fight” is a two-parter and all that before I start complimenting Beckett…

Lower Decks “Caves” – Review

Oh great, another trapped in a cave mission of Lower Decks. How could they make this one seem original? In the final episode of Megan Lloyd’s run this season as director, we’ve got Ben Rodgers’ “Caves.” Rodgers is the story editor and writer…

Lower Decks “A Few Badgeys More” – Review

Rule 34 of the Rules of Acquisition, war is good for business. Of course, rule 35 of the Rules of Acquisition is: Peace is good for business. Directed by Bob Suarez, returning from “Something Borrowed, Something Green,” as well as other episodes…

Lower Decks “Parth Ferengi’s Heart Place” – Review

Hitchhiker’s Guide to Ferenginar. Listen, if I didn’t do it, then you’d all be thinking of it anyway. This episode is directed by Brandon Williams, who was behind the wonderful “In the Cradle of Vexilon,” though I’d argue this is a lesser…

Lower Decks “Empathological Fallacies” – Review

Being head scissored by three Betazoid milfs, you say? Where do I sign up!?! Written by Jamie Loftus, who’s best known for doing nothing you’ve ever cared too much about, “Empathological Fallacies” finally gives us something between the Cerritos and the mystery…

Our Dating Story Season 1 – Review

The winter slate for romantic-comedy anime has been enjoyable enough as I’ve kept a keen eye on The Dangers in My Heart season two, A Sign of Affection just starting up, and The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil airing right now. I did my due diligence…

Captain Laserhawk: Blood Dragon (TV) – Review

With the success of series like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Castlevania, and Arcane, there has been a noticeable surge in anime-inspired series based on video games. Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix is the latest offering from Ubisoft Film & Television. Inspired by the…

Lower Decks “Something Borrowed, Something Green” – Review

Maybe I’m wrong, and that’s okay, but I think the Orions are a bit more of a TOS-era “alien” in Star Trek. Written by Grace Parra Janney (Ben M Waller as staff writer), and directed by Bob Suarez, Janney is probably most notable for…
