VisionQuest: Immolation

"You lie with such ease."

In which Vision and Jocasta each plumb the depths of memory and subconscious to search for who they truly are.

The Fall: His Troubled Thoughts

"We've chosen to work in a masculine, paramilitary, patriachal culture. Let's not let it beat us."

Paul wakes up, Katie prowls around Belfast General looking for him, Rose has had enough of the ICU because she knows she and Paul are within spitting distance of one another and Stella has to meet with a woman who may yet be able to see through her steely disguise in the second episode of series three.

Mini Movie Reviews: Girls with Guns

Today's theme is the low budget action subgenre that was big in Hong Kong in the late 80s and early 90s featuring films by Corey Yuen, Arthur Wong and Brandy Yuen, Teresa Woo, Tony Lou Chun-Ku, Godfrey Ho, and Yuen Woo-Ping.

Star Trek Voyager: Random Thoughts

"You don't understand the truth of violence – its darkness, its power."

Poor B'Elanna's temper gets her in trouble again when Voyager's crew visits a planet of telepaths who have a rather extreme reaction to violent thoughts.

It Welcome to Derry: A Story of Derry

“You don’t understand. It’s not a monster. That thing. It’s a god! Gods demand sacrifice!”

It: Welcome to Derry left us a Halloween surprise in the form of a small, 30 minute prequel. What a fun, bite-sized treat to close out the spooky season with!

The One About Matthew Perry

Matthew: I haven't prayed often. But I – I made a prayer, and I said, "God, you can do anything you want to me. Just please make me famous." About three weeks later, I got Friends. But God did not forget the other part.

A three-part Netflix series about Friends star, Matthew Perry – his career as well as his struggles with addiction that led to his death.

Dexter Resurrection: Risky Business

"A midlife crisis for someone who does what I do? I'm not ready for that. Are you?"

When I first started reviewing Dexter in 2006, I didn't think I was making a twenty-year commitment. But here we are, in the second season of the second Dexter reboot (not to mention the spinoff that didn't take). And here I am.

The Fall: Silence and Suffering

"He's lost so much blood. He looks like he's dying."

The first episode of The Fall season three switches gears. Athough, you could argue that it's never really had a gear, per se. It's a show driven by characters and circumstances. There's a race towards justice, some kind of justice, in season three, and you can feel it in this opener.

VisionQuest: Deadlock

"Well, look what the Wi-Fi dragged in."

A deadlock is a stalemate or impasse. And by my count we had at least four in this episode. Five if you include Vision and Thomas at the end.

VisionQuest: Firewall

"Personally, I like a few laughs. You, maybe not so much."

VisionQuest follows up an exciting cliffhanger in which Vision surrenders total control of himself to his greatest enemy in order to save his son.

I was not prepared for that follow-up to be My Dinner with Ultron.

Sir Patrick Stewart, Dead at 86

I'm devastated to report that Sir Patrick Stewart has died at his California home at the age of 86.

Wednesday: Season Two, Part Two

"I've always believed that to be haunted is a choice. What we are really haunted by is our past. No matter how hard we try to shake it free, it has us by the teeth."

Netflix in their infinite wisdom decided to split this season in half, with eight episodes separated by a month hiatus.
