The Mighty Nein: The Fletching and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities

“Hey, if you can’t blend in, you were meant to stand out.”

The third episode of The Mighty Nein is a highly entertaining turning point which features a new character, some fantastic thoughtful moments, terrifying action, and a giant magical toad.

It Welcome to Derry: In the Name of the Father

“It’s gotten to you too.”

This was somehow both really sweet and really disturbing at the same time. It also might be my favorite episode in a while, even if I continue to get annoyed by weird editing and general stupidity. At some point, though, you just have to accept a show for what it is.

The Mighty Nein: Who Will You Be?

Take off your jacket, have a drink, lend an ear: it's time to start the show...

Three new characters from the Nein get introduced in this episode. Also, a god, sort of, and magical sex toys.

The War Between the Land and the Sea: A Prelude

This will not be a review of the first two episodes of the Doctor Who spinoff, The War Between the Land and the Sea.

This is mostly down to the fact that I haven't been able to see it yet. Which helps, when reviewing.

The Fifth Elephant By Terry Pratchett (Discworld 24)

"He'd noticed that sex bore some resemblance to cookery: it fascinated people, they sometimes bought books full of complicated recipes and interesting pictures, and sometimes when they were really hungry, they created vast banquets in their imagination – but at the end of the day they'd settle quite happily for egg and chips, if it was well done and maybe had a slice of tomato."

Book twenty-four of Discworld is another book about the watch, so expect some significant crime(s). It also places Sam Vimes, the watch's commander and reluctant duke of Ankh-Morpork, in a position he never expected, as the Patrician assigns him as the city's ambassador to Uberwald, a position he's none too happy about, although the reader has a lot to be happy about as usual when reading a Discworld book.

Siren: The Voices of Shelley Beattie

A world premiere of a biographical documentary that is simultaneously heart-shattering and riveting, narrated and led by the talents of Marlee Matlin and director Irene Taylor.

The Mighty Nein: Mote of Possibility

Saved your life just to box you to death.

Critical Role's newest animated series gets dropped on Prime. Should you watch? JRS digs into the meat of the episode.

Néro the Assassin: The Inquisitor

Néro: There was no battle?
Lothar: They bolted the gates. They let the village be looted and did nothing.
Néro: How do you know that?
Lothar: No signs of combat. And the soldiers – no injuries.
Néro: The hanged men, they're not deserters. They wanted to help the villagers.

Episode description: “At Havreval, the group has doubts about their hosts. Rochemort must act violently when someone unexpectedly returns.”

It Welcome to Derry: 29 Neibolt Street

“In life, people are either anchors or lifeboats. They drag you under, or they keep you afloat.”

What an appropriate episode to have a line that reminds me of "We all float down here."

Movie Review: Thankskilling

“Peck on someone your own size.”

Thankskilling is a cheap, efficient, mediocre horror movie about an ancient Native American shaman, who lives within the body of an undying turkey, coming back to wreak vengeance for the theft of his people’s land by killing a group of college students going home for Thanksgiving break. That may be all I need to say about it. But I promised Fangirl a review last year, and this week seems like the perfect time to fulfill my promise.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Series Review

"What is the meaning of it, Watson? What is the object of this circle of misery and violence and fear? It must have a purpose or our universe has no meaning, and that is unthinkable. But what purpose? That is humanity's great problem, for which reason so far has no answer."

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous consulting detective has to be one of the most adapted and reinterpreted fictional characters of all time. There have been an untold number of films, plays, radio productions, comics, TV shows, books and cartoons featuring the Baker Street sleuth and his faithful companion, Dr. Watson. For me, this lavish Granada Television series starring the incomparable Jeremy Brett is the undisputed best.
