Daredevil Born Again: Season Two

"This is your so-called retribution? It means nothing to me!"
What about grace?"

Grace. Retribution. Justice. What do any of those words mean when the system that is meant to dispense them has been corrupted and broken?

This review will contain spoilers for the entire season!

Mini Movie Reviews: Once More Unto the Breach...

Today's theme is historical battles featuring films by Tony Richardson, Peter Weir, Basil Dearden, Zack Snyder, Sergei Bondarchuk, and Richard Attenborough.

This Week: Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me?

Mikey Heinrich: Oh my God, why did no one tell me???

Actually, maybe it's cooler that I just stumbled across it as fait accompli tv.

For All Mankind: Season One, Part One

I find the title For All Mankind sort of fascinating, because the biggest change in this series from what happened in real life is the active participation of women in the U.S. space program. In literally other words, For All Womankind.

27 Dresses

Love is patient, love is kind, love means slowly losing your mind.

Always, always, always a bridesmaid!

Fallout: The Handoff

“Don’t think of them as people. Think of them as Americans.”

It’s the penultimate episode, and New Vegas is at the center of everything.

Evil: 7 Swans a Singin'

"And remember, a good concealer can literally cover all your sins."

Evil does a Christmas episode. Because of course it does.

Resident Alien: Truth Hurts

"Harry, you can't keep doing this. Real relationships are built on honesty. If you hide parts of yourself, then you're not being authentic. And Heather deserves to know who you really are."

Telling the truth hurts. But not telling the truth can hurt even more.

Outlander: In the Forest

"Maybe this is Frank's way of praying for us."

This series is winding down. I could almost hear the producers discussing what major plot threads, or in this case, fishing lines, were as yet untied. Oh, yes. William still hates Jamie. Gotta fix that one.

Thud! by Terry Pratchett (Discworld 34)

“He hated games, they made the world look too simple. Chess, in particular, had always annoyed him. It was the dumb way the pawns went off and slaughtered their fellow pawns while the king lounged about doing nothing. If only the pawns would've united... the whole board could've been a republic in about a dozen moves.”

The thirty-fourth book of Discworld features the Watch and the ancient rivalry between trolls and dwarves. The battle of Koom Valley was long ago, but its memory lives on and is still a cause of friction between the two species, and that friction is bubbling up in Ankh-Morpork.

Heated Rivalry: The Cottage

“Ya tebya lyublyu.”

This episode is curling up under the softest, coziest blanket while holding a warm mug of rich hot chocolate and melting whipped cream and watching fluffy, white snow that you won’t have to shovel silently drift by through your window.

Outlander: Evidence of Things Not Seen

"It's the unseen threads that bind us, woven by a hand far greater than our own."

Way to break our hearts, you (expletive deleted) Outlander writers, you.
