Doctor Who Series 4 “The Fires of Pompeii” – Review

I was hoping this would have been later in Donna’s run with The Doctor, but here we are. This is why I don’t like Donna’s character. The whiplash you get from her first three episodes is like listening to my music playlists.…

The Boys Season 1 – Review

Warning: The following article may contain embedded videos that may contain strong language, graphical violence, and other scenes readers may find distressing. Reader’s discretion is advised. I could have sworn both Mike and Taylor have spoken about this ad nauseum, along with a…

Doctor Who Series 4 “Partners in Crime” – Review

There was this thing around about 2006-2007 that was in just about every show of the time that I like: Hustle, Ugly Betty, and Doctor Who. This was the first and only episode in Who to use it, and I think that works. It…

Lovecraft Country Episode 10 Review: “Full Circle”

Warning: This article contains discussion of homophobia, transphobia, death, suicide, and spoilers for Lovecraft Country. Lovecraft Country‘s season 1 finale has come and gone. As it ends, it leaves us sitting on the other side of a wild ride of trauma, grief,…

Doctor Who “Time Crash” & “Voyage of the Damned” – Review

Lovecraft Country Episode 9 Review: “Rewind 1921”

Warning: This article contains discussion of racism, violence, homophobia, murder, child abuse, and death. Engaging with (and relating to) fantasy, science fiction, horror, and any combination of the above will often, if not always, require accepting some otherworldly or even outlandish logic.…

Dr Who “The Sound of Drums” & “Last of the Time Lords” – Review

I’ll be the first one to admit it. I don’t think the B and C plots of this final story of Series 3, starting with last week’s “Utopia,” stand up too well. Don’t get me wrong: I like them, and I think…

The Boys Season 2 Review

WARNING! Spoilers for The Boys season 2 are present in this article. After a month of spreading out the latter five episodes, The Boys season 2 has finally wrapped up in righteous fashion. Personally, as convenient as it would be to binge the season in its…

Lovecraft Country Episode 8 Review: “Jig-A-Bobo”

Warning: This article contains discussion of murder, child death, lynching, racism, police brutality, images of body horror, and spoilers for Lovecraft Country. This episode was … a lot. For the majority of its runtime, it was a lot in a good —…

Bargain (2020) Review

To the surprise of, I suspect, absolutely no one who’s been following my writing for a minute, October is my month. Sadly not my month of birth, but it’s my zone, my vibe — you get the idea. All this to say…
