Roswell, New Mexico: I'll Stand by You

“There’s always three. Until the very end.”

Since this episode revolves around the fight to save Max, you could be forgiven for thinking this episode is about him. However, it is more about what his argument for the power of three is than himself. In this case, family, friendship, and loyalty. And the lengths we will go for the people we care about.

Star Trek Voyager: The Q and the Grey

"Out of all the females of all the species in all the galaxies, I have chosen you to be the mother of my child."

Q is back, and he has a very personal request to make of the Captain – but she is having none of it.

Orphan Black: Beneath Her Heart

"Do you think this is all there is for us?"

This episode gets the awards of best episode of the season so far, best Alison-centric episode ever, and one of most beautiful the show has ever done. I loved it.

Five Delayed Sequels

Here are five films that really made audiences wait to find out what happened next.

Outlander: Famous Last Words

"It's like he's drowning in silence."

A surprisingly good aftermath episode about grief, trauma and change.

Doom Patrol: Paw Patrol

Mr. Nobody: "This can’t be the end, I refuse. I haven’t even been in the last two episodes."

There's lateral thinking, and then there's lateral thinking. And then after that you get to this.

Tales From the Loop: Season One

Cole (Duncan Joiner) & Loretta (Abby Ryder Fortson)

"What do you do down there? ... Underground?"
"You know when someone says something's impossible?"
"Yeah."
"I prove it's possible."

If you were to pass through Mercer, Ohio sometime during President Reagan's first term, it would appear unremarkable at first glance.

Westworld: The Mother of Exiles

“If you want something done right, do it yourself.”

Part of me kind of likes it when a mystery strings me along for awhile before it unravels. For me, the not knowing and wondering is usually more exciting than the knowledge itself. Still, I'm glad they didn't wait too long to unravel this one.

Roswell, New Mexico: What If God Was One of Us

“Some things are just God’s will.”

In honor of Holy Week, God makes an appearance in Roswell. Not literally. But through ruminations on faith and doubt, free will and destiny, and the possibility of redemption, the show poses an interesting question. What if God is all of us?

Five Game Changing Episodes

Here are five episodes that drastically, and irreversibly, changed their shows forever.

Five All-Star War Movies

Five World War II epics featuring more stars than you'd find at a planetarium.

The Case For Bingeing Jonny Quest (1964)

Race, Jonny, Bandit, Hadji, and Dr. Quest,
as drawn by their creator, Doug Wildey

"What is the matter, Jonny? Are you not happy?"
"Instead of traveling in a truck, I was hoping we'd get to ride camels."

Don't you wish you'd had an adventurous childhood in which transportation by camel was an everyday thing? Where you could spend your formative years circling the globe in a private airplane...

The Magicians: Fillory and Further

“You can never fully control external circumstances. They may even be actively hostile. But you can control the ones inside you.”

Westworld: The Absence of Field

“We all have our roles to play.”

Westworld is back to doing what it does best. Bending our minds and challenging our perceptions of reality and selfhood.

Roswell, New Mexico: Good Mother

“There are some choices people should never have to make.”

Considering the title, it is not surprising this episode explores motherhood from three different perspectives. However, it does more than that; it explores family and how it is defined by more than blood.

And Yet More Bingeworthy Shows

Here's a second installment of bingeworthy worthies from the Agents of Doux, in their own words.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Season 2

"But you know what I always say: speak softly, and drive a big tank."

Season two is a step up from the previous season. Not a major one, mind you, but a step up nonetheless.

What Are You Reading?

Although we're primarily a television and movie review site, we also love books. And there is no better time to love books than right now, when escaping into an entirely different, immersive world is not just a hobby, but a survival strategy.

For that reason, we're bringing back a long-lost feature here at Doux Reviews: the What Are You Reading? thread.

It's simple and fun! Just post what you're reading, thinking about reading, hate-reading, binge-reading, trying to get others to read, in the comments. And then check back regularly for recommendations.

Outlander: The Ballad of Roger Mac

"It doesn't hurt a bit to die."

This was the best Outlander episode I've seen in awhile. Certainly the best of the season. So far.

The Case for Bingeing Doctor Who: The Black and White Years

"If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cries of strange birds, and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you?"

There’s an understandable temptation, even among your more devoted binge watchers, to give the first six seasons a pass if you’re going to attempt to watch all of the original run of Doctor Who (1963-1989). You shouldn't.
