Dexter Resurrection: And Justice for All

"Prater has a lot of expensive toys. But I'll never be one of them."

I was expecting tragedy.

This Week: A Change in the Fluffy

An Honest Fangirl: We haven't done one of these in a while, so let's throw out a broader question. What was your favorite tv/movie/book/etc that you consumed this past summer? Alternatively, is there anything coming up for this fall season that you're particularly excited for?

I had been looking forward to the latest FBI spinoff titled CIA, simply because it's starring Tom Ellis, but apparently it's been pushed back to a midseason premiere. The Pitt also isn't coming back until January so I'm mainly waiting for winter.

Resident Alien: Homecoming

Harry: This formula allows the Greys to make the Earth uninhabitable for everything except their species.
Joseph: So not humans?
Harry: No.
Joseph: And not half-humans?
Harry: Yeah, no.
Asta: Wait, you didn't even know what your own plan was?

Episode description: "Harry and Asta team up with an unlikely ally to try to save the Earth."

The Thursday Murder Club

"I feel like we're in one of those Sunday night dramas about two bright-eyed, feisty old lady detectives outsmarting the police at every turn."

She isn't wrong. That is an excellent way to describe this movie.

Alien Earth: In Space, No One…

"We were a spaceship, and now we're a missile, and we're heading towards Earth."

This episode was designed to give context to the events on the Maginot, and perhaps explain why Morrow appeared to be so cold and calculating. And boy, did we get a lot of context.

Mini Comic Reviews: September, 2025

This month I'll be taking a look at the rebirth of Captain America, Phil Jimenez glorious reunion with Donna Troy, Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott's Black Magick, the unsettling goings on of Harrow County, the Avengers battle with Xenomorphs, and that time DC let Grant Morrison and Mark Miller write The Flash.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds: Four-and-a-Half Vulcans

"Wow. Your ears are so pointy."

A funny, clever, well-written episode. And yet...

Alien Earth: Observation

"You work for me. Or should I say you work for a, uh, subsidiary of a subsidiary of a holding company of an LLC of mine."

So this episode took a step back from tension to truly examine the dynamics on the island... I mean, I guess that's what I asked for when I talked about character development.

Alien Earth: Metamorphosis

"When is a machine not a machine?"

This episode managed a bit of a magic trick, and I'm impressed with the storytelling so far.

Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story

As you may have heard, Jaws turned 50 years old this summer. A milestone like that demands all kinds of documentaries and retrospectives, and that is how we're going to wrap up Summer Shark Fest 2025.

Dexter Resurrection: Touched by an Angel

No spoilers on the front page, tra la la...

Maskerade by Terry Pratchett (Discworld 18)

"Dedication: My thanks to the people who showed me that opera was stranger than I could imagine. I can best repay their kindness by not mentioning their names here."

Agnes Nitt, AKA Perdita X Dream, is off to the big twin cities of Ankh-Morpork to join the opera, but the witches back home have other ideas for the young woman, whether she agrees with them or not.
