Supernatural Season 13, Episode 13- Devil’s Bargain

Supernatural Season 13, Episode 13- Devil’s Bargain

Things are getting serious now. And we know this to be true since it opens with Castiel coughing up blood and stumbling through some unknown forest. Two teenagers stumble upon him and of course, the moment they start poking the “body” they found with a stick, he turns out to not be dead. I’d say he scarred them for life, but I’m sure two teenagers that had no problem finding a body, turning it…

Overwatch: OWL and Year of the Dog

Overwatch: OWL and Year of the Dog

With the Overwatch League up and running—and highly advertised—I was mildly surprised to see an event so soon after the start of the League. Last year’s Chinese New Year event brought Capture the Flag game mode and the usual goodies to the cast of heroes. OWL premiered in January, after a preseason of qualifiers in December. The Overwatch League consists of teams from the Atlantic Division and…

Supernatural 1312: Various & Sundry Villains

Supernatural 1312: Various & Sundry Villains

No one stays dead in Supernatural and this is true, finally, for more than just the white male leads. Rowena is back. And with Rowena’s return I had one minor question for the start of the episode: Where is Castiel? The episode opens with our victim of the week walking into a gas station supermarket. Two women eye him and with a couple flirty glances get him to approach them. They drop a spell…

Amazon Prime and the hollywoodisation of Philip K Dick's Electric Dreams

Amazon Prime and the hollywoodisation of Philip K Dick’s Electric Dreams

In the post Total Recall world of film and television, many have tried to bring the majesty that is Philip K Dick to the screen. Whether it be in our homes or in our theatres, I have found most of the shows lacking that je ne sais quoi that only Philip’s writing can deliver. The latest attempt to re-brand this much-loved Sci-Fi writers work has come in the form of Amazon Primes series Electric…

"The Girl Who Leapt Through Time"

“The Girl Who Leapt Through Time”

“Time waits for no one.” I will be honest in saying romance is my least favorite of all the genres, especially in regards to the high school cliché in anime. This is because stories have been beaten into a predictable pattern with flat or stereotypical characters. Mamoru Hosoda, however, does the high school genre justice. He is a visionary anime director who can take the mundane of everyday life…

“Pokémon” fans around the world! “Pokémon” is taking another leap into theaters, and this time it’s live-action! As reported by the Anime News Network: “Universal Pictures will release Legendary Entertainment’s live-action ‘Pokémon’ film ‘Detective Pikachu’ on May 10, 2019.” Following the story of Japan’s “Detective Pikachu” Nintendo 3DS game, “Detective Pikachu” will head none other than Ryan…

Supernatural Season 13- Episode 7: War of the Worlds

Supernatural Season 13- Episode 7: War of the Worlds

This episode was pretty good, although it felt cluttered and frantic. There was just so much going on. The primary take away I have from it is: Where on earth is Mary Winchester? It’s been ages since we saw her. The last thing we know is that she was captured with Lucifer by Alternate Universe Michael. Here we’re seeing Lucifer, but nothing on Mary. The episode begins with Lucifer. More…

"Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade": Dehumanized

“Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade”: Dehumanized

In 1950 Japan, politics and protests are full of traitors and terrorists. “Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade” encapsulates the fears of government power against rebellion, and the dire extremes of both. “Jin Roh” is a slow piece full of emotional dialogue, tension, and death at every turn. This is a story of morality, a painful lesson in determining whom to trust and whom to deem as the enemy. More…

Once Upon A Time Season 7 Episodes 7 and 8: Eloise Gardner and Pretty in Blue

Once Upon A Time Season 7 Episodes 7 and 8: Eloise Gardner and Pretty in Blue

With a two hour event before the midseason break, these two episodes had me on my toes. Not in a “they were so engaging” way. Rather a “I have to pause every two minutes to write notes” way. That turns a two hour event into roughly a six hour event. I decided to combine them into one article. The first episode was pretty loaded, but the second one can be summarized pretty quickly, I feel. Strap…

Will "Coco" Take Top Thanksgiving Spot?

Will “Coco” Take Top Thanksgiving Spot?

It is known that family gatherings tend to flourish around the holidays. Because of this, the box office tends to see a huge jump in numbers, as audience attendance flourishes too. Thanksgiving weekend, from Wednesday to Sunday, is usually a popular time for families and eager movie goers. As for which movies are the most popular this season, “Coco” and “Justice League” are getting some…

Supernatural Season 13, Episode 6: Tombstone

Supernatural Season 13, Episode 6: Tombstone

I’m glad we finally have Castiel back in the show. Dean is too, probably more than I am. His attitude improved drastically in an instant. Glad to have some of the unnecessary angst gone. This episode is another monster of the week style episode. It has some of the usual aspects of Supernatural in it and mostly serves to show Dean’s improvement and some mild plot developments with Jack. It begins…

Overwatch: Moira and the Free Weekend

Overwatch: Moira and the Free Weekend

Moira, Talon’s healer with questionable morals, lands on the live servers just in time for Overwatch’s next free to play weekend. Announced during BlizzCon, the newest hero to Overwatch’s roster is Moira O’Deorain. The new addition to the support class comes with a mix of healing and damage. Moira is an overly ambitious geneticist that works for Talon, the opposition to Overwatch and a terrorist…

Once Upon A Time Season 7, Episode 6: Wake Up Call

Once Upon A Time Season 7, Episode 6: Wake Up Call

Well, it looks like we’re finally getting somewhere. About damn time. Really, stop dragging your feet on the memories point, Once Upon A Time. We have seen this before and it’s not fun to sit through the same recycled plot line. Last episode ended on an attempted suspenseful cliff hanger where Roni and Henry have found a picture of them together from Storybrooke. We return to this scene where…

The Flash S4E4 Recap: Elongated Journey Into Night

The Flash S4E4 Recap: Elongated Journey Into Night

This week the writers of The Flash delivered another light-hearted and funny episode with “Elongated Journey Into Night”. It seems like going back to the standard Meta of the week formula is allowing the show to get a lot more creative with the plot. Last week Team Flash found out that Barry accidentally created 12 new Metahumans when he came out of the speedforce next to a city bus. Since…

The Flash S4E5 Recap: Girls Night Out

The Flash S4E5 Recap: Girls Night Out

“#Feminism”. That’s an actual quote from this episode. Spoken with no intentional irony at all. In case the episode title wasn’t clear, this episode focuses on the women of Team Flash (and Felicity from Arrow). To celebrate their upcoming wedding, Barry and Iris have a night out with their friends. Iris and the girls have a bachelorette party and are swept up in Killer Frost’s struggles while…

Supernatural Season 13- Episode 5: Advanced Thanatology

Supernatural Season 13- Episode 5: Advanced Thanatology

It was apparent very early in the episode that this one was not a monster-of-the-week styled episode, even if it looked like one at first glance. This episode finally addressed Dean’s mourning and depression following the death of Castiel and the not-actual-death of his mother. We start with two teenage boys in Grand Junction, Colorado. They fancy themselves ghost hunters and are in the midst of…

Thank Odin! "Thor: Ragnarok" brings the thunder

Thank Odin! “Thor: Ragnarok” brings the thunder

It looks like third time is the charm for the god of Thunder. “Thor: Ragnarok” is the third Thor movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it is by far the most enjoyable. I personally felt like Thor had the weakest solo movies out of all the Avengers, but Ragnarok has changed all that. I found the second Thor movie to be so boring that I can’t remember anything about its plot. Thankfully I…
