Tekken: Bloodline Review

The Tekken franchise has always had a special place in my heart. Even though I had just briefly played the original, my experience with it truly started with the universally-loved Tekken 3. I’ve never become so quickly enamored by a game as…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 5 Review

Rings of Power episode five was the episode in which I lost all hope for the future of this series. This episode is titled “Partings” and begins with Nori and the Harfoots as they encounter new dangers on their migration. The Numenorians…

Doctor Who “Arachnids in the UK” – Review

Was Spiders In Sheffield too on the nose, Chibnall? If there is one episode that is annoying to look back on from this series, it is the one with Chris Noth, particularly for what was revealed of him last year but also…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 4 – Review

Episode 4 officially marks the halfway point for The Rings of Power. This episode is titled “The Great Wave” and focuses heavily on Numenor. Galadriel petitions the regent Tar-Miriel for aid while Elrond investigates Durin’s secret mining project. Arondir finds himself face…

Doctor Who “Rosa” – Review

Does anyone else want to talk about America’s racism problem? No, just me. So for those that don’t know, Rosa Parks is a woman who sat on a bus, and if Chibnall wrote this episode alone, that is all you’d learn. The…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 3 – Review

There is a lot that happens in LOTR: The Rings of Power episode 3. Unfortunately, it still fails at transcending past the realm of mediocrity. This episode is titled “Adar,” and focuses on Arondir as he is made an unwilling slave to…

Doctor Who “The Ghost Monument” – Review

Two episodes in, and we’re into Chibnall’s crap writing. “The Ghost Monument” is one of those episodes that tried to do the scale of Frank Herbert or James S.A. Corey with the writing ability of a dog. There certainly was a desire…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 2 – Review

LOTR: The Rings of Power continues to expand the mythos of Tolkien’s high fantasy world for the small screen. Episode two is titled “Adrift,” and again follows Galadriel as she makes her way back to Middle Earth across the Sundering Seas. Elrond…

Doctor Who “The Woman Who Fell to Earth” – Review

Still, with no in-series competition coming close, “The Woman Who Fell to Earth” is the most-watched modern episode of Doctor Who since the show’s return and the highest peak since “City of Death” in 1979. Jodie Whittaker’s run has been lambasted time and…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 1 – Review

In an age long gone, a nine-year-old boy watched the Fellowship of The Ring at a friend’s house. That person was myself (of course), and since then, I have loved the lore-rich world of J.R.R Tolkien’s creation. I adore the movies, and…
