‘Timeless’ 2×06 Review: Fanboys Don’t Save the World

You know how they say it’s always darkest before the dawn? Well, this is our always darkest before the dawn moment, Lyatt fans. Think of it as the equivalent of episode 13 in Season 1, a very good episode with…

‘Timeless’ 2×05 Roundtable: “The Kennedy Curse” Part 2

What is this, you ask? More Timeless feels! Well, yes – we have so many of those the roundtables are two parters now! What can I say, that’s what this show does to us, and we’re not even sorry. Don’t…

‘Timeless’ 2×06 Reaction: Not Everything is What it Seems

Will we ever come across an episode of Timeless that doesn’t leave us feeling everything all at once? The answer to that is not yet. Not yet. And considering what we’ve seen so far, probably not ever. So yes, there…

‘Timeless’ 2×05 Roundtable “The Kennedy Curse” Part 1

Do you have feels? We have feels! About Jessica, about young JFK, about Lyatt, about Riya and yes, about Agent Christopher. But this is what roundtables are for. To let out all the feels. To help us process before the…

‘Timeless’ 2×06 Advance Review: “The King of the Delta Blues”

It’s been a while since I wrote one of these. Sometimes it feels to me like everything is out here and writing them is a little pointless. But I’ve seen people freak out all over the place this week, so…

‘Designated Survivor 2×18 Review: Kirkman Agonistes

Well, that was …surprising. Really, really surprising. Especially considering that this season has felt more like a slog than a sprint. We’ve survived, more than thrived, and there have been many times where I have groaned at the mere thought…

‘Krypton’ 1×05 Review: If it Be A Sin to Covet Honor

I’m gonna give it to Krypton, this episode explores some very interesting themes and shines a light on what this show has done best so far in its short run, which is provide us with complicated familial relationships. That’s about…

‘Timeless’ 2×05 Review: I Have No Regrets

I feel like a broken record. I probably sound like one. (No regrets. Pun intended) But it’s hard for me to watch an episode of TV this good, and then come out of my bubble to a world where Timeless…

‘Timeless’ 2×04 Roundtable: “The Salem Witch Trials” Part 2

As always, we had way too many feels for just a one-part Timeless round-table, so here we go again. We still have to talk Jiya, Riya, our favorite scoundrel Flynn, and yes – Lyatt! You think we were really gonna…

‘Timeless’ 2×04 Roundtable: “The Salem Witch Trials” Part 1

Well, that was painful. And …yeah, no, it was mostly painful all the way through, with a few little breaks so we could breathe, but mostly just pain. But as I said in my review, we’ll get through this. Together.…

‘Designated Survivor’ Review: Overkill

I’m not exactly eating my words, not yet, but I have to admit this episode of Designated Survivor (and hopefully the rest of the Michael J. Fox arc) was pretty much exactly what I’ve been asking of the show –…

‘Krypton’ 1×04 Review: Hell is Empty and All the Devils are Here

Last week, I told you to stop watching Krypton while you could. I might have spoken too soon. Because, though this is far from a brilliant episode – the first few minutes were a drag and every time the story-line…

‘Timeless’ 2×04 Review: You Don’t Get How Rare This Is

Okay, here we go. Hold my hand. Yes, I know you’re not really here next to me, but hold my metaphorical hand. This is going to be a therapy session, for all of us. I know this is a bad,…

Sakina Jaffrey & Paterson Joseph talk ‘Timeless’ Season 2

Timeless returns with a new episode this Sunday, and as we get ready for more excitement (or pain), we’re rounding up our Wondercon interviews with Sakina Jaffrey and Paterson Joseph, who play Agent Denise Christopher and Connor Mason respectively, and…

‘Designated Survivor’ 2×16 Review: A Step in the Right Direction

I’ve been critical of Designated Survivor the past few episodes – a big change for me, after praising this show for it’s entire first season and most of season 2. Today, however, I’m feeling somewhat optimistic, because the show just…

Wondercon 2018: Goran Visnjic teases Lucy’s Diary and Flynn’s Motivations in ‘Timeless’ Season 2

Goran Visnjic is the kind of charismatic actor that makes it hard for you to hate any character he’s playing, even if, at face value, he’s playing the villain. This is a particularly good thing when applied to such a…

‘Krypton’ 1×03 Review: All that Glitters is Not Gold

Okay, look, it’s been three episodes. Three whole episodes. One hundred and twenty minutes. I know it doesn’t seem like much, but after three episodes you should at least have a sense of something, when watching a TV show. The…

Wondercon 2018: Malcolm Barrett Talks Riya, Changing the Past and Season 2

Rufus Carlin is not a sidekick, he’s not the comedic relief and he’s certainly not there just to advise the “main characters.” In fact, Rufus is so unlike most characters like him on TV, that talking to the actor who…

‘Krypton’ 1×02 Review: Love All, Trust A Few, Do Wrong to None

Oh, yes. I started with a Shakespeare quote. It’s a theme, you see. Since they’re not being subtle, why should I be? I’m just going to lean into it and ride the wave, so to speak. Last episode, I had…
