Sense8: What is Human?

Kala: "It's so violent."
Capheus: "Life is violent."

This was a strange episode that was one-half resolving a bunch of dangling plot threads, and one half celebration and set up for the final arc of the season.

Trailer Park Shark

“Never doubt your uncle or question good old redneck ingenuity.”

Well, this certainly was not the movie that I expected it to be. Although, I do have to give it credit. It is exactly what its title implies. Both titles.

The Pitt: 6:00 P.M.

“We never say ‘oops’ in front of a patient.”

Yeah, that’s probably a good idea. At least this was a very minor ‘oops’ instead of anything that resulted in massive blood loss?

Minority Report (2003)

“The Precogs are never wrong. But, occasionally... they do disagree.”

The year is 2054 and murder has been eliminated in the District of Columbia thanks to PreCrime, a special police taskforce, led by Chief John Anderton (Tom Cruise), that uses a trio of precognitives to predict murders and prevent them. When the Precogs predict that Anderton himself will soon kill a man, someone he has never even met, he is forced to go on the run so he can clear his name by solving a murder that hasn't happened yet.

The Mummy's Hand

“For who shall defile the temples of the ancient gods, a cruel and violent death shall be his fate, and never shall his soul find rest unto eternity. Such is the curse of Amon-Ra, king of all the gods."

After reviewing the wondrous Discworld books, it’s time to get back to the Universal classic horror movies again with The Mummy’s Hand, a 1940 sequel to the original film from 1932.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds: A Case of Chiaroscuro

"I'm fine. Just not used to seeing things in black and white."

Strange New Worlds is on a roll. Unfortunately, it's not a good roll.

Star Trek Voyager: Scientific Method

"I'm running a little experiment of my own. Red alert!"

A rash of illnesses, genetic mutations, and general poor health is affecting many of Voyager's crew, and the Doctor is struggling to work out the cause.

Lanterns: Pilot

“It’s only one question: Are you afraid?”

A comic book show on HBO that is also a gritty mystery that directly cites True Detective as an inspiration? I’ve been waiting for this show for years.

Atomic Shark

“The beach is public domain!”
“I don’t think the law works that way…”

With a title like that, you basically already know what you’re in for: a radioactive shark. And let me tell you, they certainly delivered when it came to that.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds: Human Best Friend

"I promise you this will be the best shore leave ever."

And it's Star Trek does The Hangover.

The Boroughs: Series Review

Nobody cares about old people. Not even old people.

The Boroughs – a community for retired people – is advertised as a place where you’ll have the time of your life. Note this is not always a good thing.

Nightmare Shark

"If it can hurt us in our dreams, we should be able to hurt it back."

Nightmare on Elm Street but with a shark that occasionally takes the form of an insect swarm instead. I don’t know why the alternative form is an insect swarm. It just is.
