WrestleMania XL Night 2 Review

With Night 1 in the bag and the biggest fight of The American Nightmare’s life ahead of him, Night 2 of WrestleMania XL had some of the biggest implications in WWE to date. Aside from the most pertinent main event in recent memory,…

WrestleMania XL Night 1 Review

Editor’s Note: The following article was written before Night 2 of WrestleMania XL. Some thoughts are reflective of Night 1 only. WWE is in something of a boom era after the unceremonious passing of the guard from McMahon to Levesque, as an…

Star Trek: Picard “Stardust City Rag” – Review

Yippie, garish costume design by drugs fired out of a shotgun. The first episode not to be written by Chabon, “Stardust City Rag” is written by Kirsten Beyer, and she’s only ever written for Star Trek, though sadly that also means she’s a…

Star Trek: Picard “Absolute Candor” – Review

I think it is appropriate that when I sat down to write and watch Picard today, I cocked my leg over my chair and shouted “Riker!” We’re finally moving forward, we’ve got some proper Picard-ing going on, there is some decent direction, and it…

Star Trek: Picard “The End is the Beginning” – Review

Can we move on please, I’m getting bored of the setup! This episode is directed once again by Hanelle M Culpepper and written by Michael Chabon. This time Chabon is joined by James Duff, with Nick Zayas story editing. Duff is probably…

Star Trek: Picard “Maps and Legends” – Review

Warning: The following article may contain language not suitable for all. Reader’s discretion is advised. Fantastic, I’m sure the working Joes from Alien: Isolation did nothing wrong 14 years ago on Mars. Oh right, that was the entire point last episode with the TV…

Star Trek: Picard “Remembrance” – Review

With more writers and story editor credits for one episode than there are brain cells that put together for “Et in Arcadia Ego,” I’m sure “Remembrance” can start and continue a great sequel series. Sarcasm aside, Picard was one of the shows I was…

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…
