  • Shogun (FX): The Masterpiece We’ve All Been Waiting For

    Shogun (FX): The Masterpiece We’ve All Been Waiting For

    As a teen, I remember reading my mom’s James Clavell books. My favorite was Noble House. When I saw the 1988 adaptation with Pierce Brosnan on NBC, the main character Ian Dunross became Brosnan in my head. FX just released their new adaptation of Shogun on 2/27, which was released on Hulu and D+ worldwide.…

  • Star Trek Picard S02: The Woke Shitification of Trek

    Star Trek Picard S02: The Woke Shitification of Trek

    I’m sort of speechless. It’s terrible. It’s so bad. It’s worse than I could ever imagine. How could they turn one of my favorite characters, Jean-Luc Picard, into this BS? Writers who don’t know their source material, like idiots rewriting bullshit. It’s the worst Trek series, and it’s terrible TV.

  • Moon Knight: It Took Only 5 Eps For It To Be Good

    Until this week, I have to say that Moon Knight was kind of average. Maybe a bit below average, especially for a MCU show. I’m not sure exactly what the goal of this show was. Maybe it was hit by delays and a decrease in scope because of the pandemic, I’m actually unsure. I have…

  • Star Trek: Picard S01E03-04

    I’m not sure exactly why, but I kinda saved ep 3 so that I could watch two episodes at the same time. Was it a shock that Picard is no longer welcome to the top brass of Starfleet? I guess it’s part of the premise of the show.

  • His Dark Materials (HBO, BBC)

    I’m not sure why, but I’ve never really been a fan of the HDM movies. They felt kind of bad. I know that I’ve watched them but I actually don’t remember much of the story. I remember daemons and that kids were involved in some fashion.

  • The Expanse S04

    I was pretty happy that Amazon Prime had picked up The Expanse for a 4th season. It’s quite a compelling show, and one of the few science fiction shows still on TV. To be honest, it had been so long since I had watched the show or read the books that I needed a recap…

  • CIS White Man in Girls HBO

    -WHITE MAN! -WHITE MAN! -LEAVE NOW, WHITE MAN! PLEASE LEAVE NOW! -Thank you for saying what I couldn’t… (Owner of the rival shop Helvetica of Ray’s gets a hug from his barista, who got rid of Ray.) Ray stumbles away from the coffee shop, having made an even bigger problem than he had beforehand.

  • Misplaced Allegiance (NBC)

    There has been a lack of good spy thriller shows for a while now, and thanks to a few new ones, like Allegiance on NBC, the genre is making a strong comeback. Allegiance is based on the Israeli TV show The Gordin Cell.

  • Survivor Cagayan It’s Do or Die S28E13-14 (CBS)

  • Survivor Cagayan Bag of Tricks S28E08 (CBS)
