Charmed: Season Three, Part Three

“We always knew this was a life of sacrifice.”

(This review covers the rebooted series Charmed episodes 3.14 through 3.18, and includes spoilers!)

Déjà vu.

Peaky Blinders: Blackbird

“Do you recognize the boy in the photograph?”

Showrunner Steven Knight’s original plan for Peaky Blinders was seven seasons. Thanks to Covid, that has since been amended to six seasons and a movie. But I think it’s still very worthwhile to watch this episode through the lens of its intended placement within seven seasons of six episodes each. It is exactly halfway, and that makes the revelations about Tommy’s past, and how he thinks about that past, even more meaningful.

Peaky Blinders: Heathens

“A sport between gentlemen.”

Sometimes I watch this show and just giggle with the pure joy of getting to see such a perfectly made thing.

Roswell, New Mexico: Hands

“I can tell you alone is a lonely place to be.”

A lot can change in a year. Then again, some things never change. Max is still pining over Liz, and Liz still loves Max. Michael still wants Alex, who is still unattainable. And Kyle is still the keeper of everyone’s secrets. As for the rest, wow!

Star Trek Discovery: Scavengers

"The admiral would not be convinced by a cat in a ship."

I was impressed by the conflict at the core of this episode.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Waltz

"I'm such a monster, such an evil man."

Sisko and Dukat are stranded in the Star Trek Caves, while Dukat's mind slowly unravels.

Peaky Blinders: The Noose

“We’re not the Peaky Blinders unless we’re together.”

I have good news, bad news, and very sad news. But first, I want to talk about Breaking Bad.

Star Trek The Animated Series: The Lorelei Signal

The Agents of Doux are covering The Animated Series with "discussion reviews."

Mikey Heinrich: Investigating a mysterious pattern of disappearances in which one ship disappears from the exact same place every 27 and a bit years, Kirk and crew receive a mysterious signal at the expected time and place and follow it to the planet of Chicksamiright.

The Flash: Heart of the Matter, Pt. 2

“There can be only one god of speed.”

We’ve reached the end of another season. Monologuing supervillain? Check. Heartbreaking “All hope is lost” moment? Check. Awesome, final showdown? Double check. And yet...

Superman & Lois: Fail Safe

"Small towns are a lot of fun."

Maybe not so much. "It's not fair." "It's not right." That was this episode's theme – that nearly everyone was doing the right thing, but it wasn't enough.

The Flash: Heart of the Matter, Pt. 1

“This is gonna be so much fun.”

Obviously, the title is a play on August Heart and the memories locked inside his head. But the real heart of the matter remains family. It’s the single thread of consistency throughout this season. Why should the finale be any different?

Superman & Lois: Through the Valley of Death

"It's not too late for him."

Superman. Quite a guy, isn't he?
