I always tend to judge episodes by the emotions they evoke in me. Sure, some episodes are better plotted, and some are better acted, but the mark of a brilliant episode, is in the emotions. My emotions, not the characters.…
‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’ 1×03 Review: Blood Ties
Building a show out of characters we’re familiar with is both a very good bet and a dangerous way to live. A good bet because, let’s face it, the getting people to care is the biggest hurdle any new show…
‘Once Upon A Time’ – I’m Thankful for Hook
A few months ago I started this series with Emma, and it feels somewhat fitting that I’m ending it today, with Captain Hook. I like, or at least appreciate things, about most of the characters in this show, but my…
‘The X-Files’ Review: “Mulder & Scully Meet the Were-Monster”

‘The X-Files’ Season 10, Episode 1 Review: ‘My Struggle’
It’s been a while. In fact, it’s been too long. Twenty-three years ago, I watched the second episode of The X-Files, “Deep Throat,” the day after it aired. I’ve been a fan ever since. As such, it’s hard to explain…
‘Once Upon A Time’ – I’m Thankful for Robin Hood
More than a Disney kid, I was a books kid. Sure, I watched the pre-requisite Disney movies, but even when I was very, very young, I didn’t need visuals to fall in love with a character. Words worked just fine…
‘Once Upon A Time’ – I’m Thankful for Belle
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I watched Beauty and the Beast for the first time, and fell in love with Belle. It was easy back then, she was kind, smart, and she LIKED BOOKS. I…
