Syfy's Krypton 1x6 "Civil Wars" Recap & Review

The coup is underway. Seg and Lyta invoke an inquisition on Zod and Adam at gunpoint. Oh yes, we're getting Doomsday. Doors being closed around shady dealings are just not a thing in Kandor City? Doesn't matter anyway cause Rao is not here right now, he's in the special place he invites Ona to.  Is that portrayal of Rao/Brainiac not the creepiest...And lo! A crackship is born.

HBO's Westworld Top 3 2x3 "Virtu e Fortuna "

It's all about Maeve in this top three this week!!! I fumble into a Delores/Maeve characterization breakdown and a few off hand theorizing of my own. So many intriguing questions not around Delos and their immortality machinations but on the mindsets our host's journey shall produce.

My thoughts on the second season of Netlix's amazing dystopian thriller. My ship Rafael and Joana break my heart. Michelle has one...I guess? Fernando must be protected at all costs. Surprise, bitches, Marco's back! Deep dive with me some of my character highlights of season 2. Please lord, give us a season 3!

Syfy's Z Nation 4x5 Recap & Review "The Unknowns"

Stellar episode, amazing set piece; this is the Z Nation I live for! Roberta struggles with PTSD. The team proves that practice in the ZA makes perfect. Lucy needs to go with her own kind...sooner rather than later, and a mysterious organization tests our group and loses in a confined yet outstanding episode. The performances don't disappoint and once again I struggle to find the words to describe Warphy.

This is a SPOILER REVIEW.  I discuss the highlights and minor complaints. 

Marvel's Agent's of Shield 1x3 Recap & Review "The Asset"

Well, they all can't be winners in this straightforward but very meh episode. Skye continues to have an inconsistent personality. Tragic backstories make an appearance. Another origin tale is introduced and Coulson continues to fascinate me beyond words. And was that the guy from Harry Potter reinforcing the very magical theme? I see you Shield. I.see.you.

Syfy's Krypton 1x4 "The Word of Rao" Recap & Review

What another great episode that put me in a funny mood. We play potato, po-tot-to with Jayna's name. Lyta takes the fall. Seg has a really bad day.  Kem may be my spirit animal, while another chess piece is placed on the board.

Syfy's The Expanse 3x1 " Fight or Flight" Recap and Review

The Expanse is back! Errinwright continues to prove he's a chess master. Bobby, Coytar, and our saucy queen Avasarla think faster than a speeding missle or missles in this case, and the crew formerly known as Roci spiral in this amazing premiere.

CW's The Flash 4x18 " Lose Yourself" Recap and Review

While it wasn't hard to say goodbye, it was still sad as we lose one of our own. Iris proves once again why she's team leader. The heroes actually all share a scene together, Iris tells Marlize to get out of her office and we discuss character portrayals vs. fan expectations. Oh, and it's Gouse not Gowen!

Syfy's Z Nation 4x4 Recap & Review " A New Mission, Keep Moving"

Murphy attempts to connect with Lucy to no avail, Warren continues to wander off, 10k lets Murphy know all is not forgotten or forgiven, and Lucy continues to give me migraines. Did I mention a man with a toilet on his head?

AMC's Fear the Walking Dead 1x3 "The Dog" Recap and Review

CW's The Flash 4x17 " Null and Annoyed" Recap and Review

To Thawne or not to Thawne...that is the question we ponder in a rather dull episode of my favorite superhero show. We discuss the Dibney problem, Breacher's old age, missing Westallen sex and the sad truth of the Devoes...oh and man do I rant! 

Agent's of Shield 1x2 Recap & Review "0-8-4"

It's team building time as a nuclear weapon pits ally against ally. Ward needs his stick removed, Skye is the odd man out, eventually I will tell who's Fitz and who's Simmons and stop referring to them as Ron and Hermione and wannabe Penelope Cruz makes a move.

Syfy's Z Nation Recap & Review 4x3" The Vanishing"

A much somber look at the world as it relates to our heroes. Doc questions right from wrong, 10K goes Daryl Dixon, Roberta is haunted, and Murphy is self absorbed as usual. Lucy just about caught hands and we lose a good man.

Agent's of Shield Season 1 " Pilot"

Marvel comes out with a bang in a T.V. show it has taken me entirely to long to watch! Stalkers, my new Ron and Hermione, and my new boo Agent Coulson. Lets fangirl the hell out of a fantastic premiere episode.

Syfy's Krypton "Pilot" Recap & Review

******Re-uploaded for better quality  While I am not a Superman expert; this pilot and series shall surely make me one, right? While our lead makes questionable acting choices, Georgina Campbell and Ann Ogbomo more than make up for it with their performancesin what I am calling this debut; coldblooded. Man,  I miss the Chapelle show.

Syfy's Z Nation Recap & Review " Escape from Zona"

Zona is not what it seems, Murphy has a panic attack, Teller has secrets, and Addy vs 10K in the longest bleed out of all time. All that and more in my favorite episode of the series thus far!

Warren's got the PTSD bug. Zona cured The Clap. Somebody's telling lies and the Reset?

AMC's Fear the Walking Dead 1x1

A knock off Johnny Depp who already deserves an Emmy? My Kim Dickens bias. Travis needs balls! By the end, Mads has finally picked up what gangsta Tobias was putting down.

FX's The Strain Season One Episode 1

Decent premiere. A variety of characters and too many jumpscares!

CW's The Flash Season Four Episode 15

Westallen!!!!! Boss Barry, a heartwarming father/daughter talk that I completely forgot to talk about; did I mention Westallen?! My crazy theories and more.
