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.

Walter Koenig: 1936-2026

Walter Koenig, best known for his long-running role as Pavel Chekov on the original Star Trek, has passed away at age 90.

Sense8: I Can’t Leave Her

Jonas: "Do you have a plan for getting in?"
Will: "I'm going with a nine-millimeter tucked under my arm."

With a title holding double meaning within the episode this finale was far more about emotion than spectacle, although there was quite a bit of spectacle.

VisionQuest: Malware

"We are so screwed."

This episode gives us the dueling themes of what makes a family, and is a creator responsible for their creations? Or are they just different sides of the same coin?

Unabomber: In His Own Words

"I didn't like the guy. But Dave loved his brother all the way through, I think. And his mother, of course, loved Ted as well. But I didn't. He may have been a nice person at some point in his life, but something happened and he became a – a killer."

After watching Netflix's film, Unabomber, I decided to watch this documentary because I had so many questions. I should have skipped the film and just watched this.

VisionQuest: Reboot

"Everything that is, once wasn't, and soon enough won't be. No, what I fear is that... while I'm alive, I'll never understand my purpose."

A solidly packed episode brings Vision closer to Tommy, helps us understand the different parts of Vision and gives more insight into Paladin and the Butcherbird. Join me in unpacking this complicated episode below the fold....

The Invisible Woman (1940)

“Invisible women! These days you can't believe your own eyes, even if you don't see anything.”

Evil: Room 320

"How do you know if you’re being killed or not?"

Evil embraces the 'Spooky Hospital' trope but manages to come up with its own interesting spin on the situation.

Before we begin, to be absolutely clear – do not, under any circumstance, pull out your own IV.

VisionQuest: Theseus

"Hello. My name's Vision and I'm here for the trap."

While the first episode was all about introductions, this one focused on the actual purpose of the show: finding family.
