Between “O Ye Of Little Faith,” “Leap, Die, Repeat” and the first season finale, Margarita Matthews has written some of my all-time favorite Quantum Leap episodes. And that’s no easy feat, believe me. So I couldn’t help but fangirl a…
‘Quantum Leap’ 2×07 Review: “A Kind of Magic”
Quantum Leap 2×07 “A Kind of Magic” is one of those episodes. Every fans knows the ones I’m talking about. They’re the episodes that fans break out whenever they want to explain why a new viewer needs to give the…
‘Quantum Leap’ 2×06 Review: “Secret History”
I have a lot of thoughts about Quantum Leap 2×06 “Secret History.” A secret Nazi plot, “Al” Einstein, and shipping stuff, all in one episode? Needless to say, I had to take a few days to process it all. However,…
‘Quantum Leap’ 2×05 Review: “One Night In Koreatown”
Maybe it’s because it’s fun to explore different eras; maybe it’s because Ben (Raymond Lee) is the only man in recent history to pull off a fedora without looking like a Nice Guy, but I always think of Quantum Leap…
‘The Irrational’ 1×06 Review: “Point and Shoot”
Things aren’t entirely as they seem in The Irrational 1×06 “Point and Shoot.” The episode at first appears to be about the abuse of power, police violence against the Black community, and the ways the authorization of violence leads to…
‘Quantum Leap’ 2×04 Review: “The Lonely Hearts Club”
Another episode of Quantum Leap; another chance for this show to break our hearts. And, boy, does Quantum Leap 2×04 “The Lonely Hearts Club” deliver. The writers know they have to cut us some slack eventually, right? Surely there are…
‘The Irrational’ 1×05 Review: “Lucky Charms”
In The Irrational 1×05 “Lucky Charms,” Alec Mercer (Jesse L. Martin) and team take on Sin City itself: Las Vegas. Sure, they do it to help former student/friend Camille Lawson (Jocelyn Hudon). But who needs the excuse? If you want…
‘Quantum Leap’ 2×03 Review: “Closure Encounters”
You know an episode is going to be good when you have to pause it before even 5 minutes has passed to process all your feelings. Quantum Leap 2×03 “Closure Encounters” was exactly that kind of episode. I doubt I…
‘The Irrational’ 1×04 Review: “Zero Sum”
The human brain is often illogical. However, as The Irrational 1×04 “Zero Sum” explores, there is nothing more illogical than family. This episode was all about family. And maybe – just maybe – a little love in the air. Sibling…
‘The Irrational’ 1×03 Review: “The Barnum Effect”
The human brain is weird, as The Irrational 1×03 “The Barnum Effect” reminds us. One of the best things about this show (other than star Jesse L. Martin as Alec Mercer is that all the ways it shows us that…
‘Quantum Leap’ 2×02 Review: “Ben & Teller”
Before I delve into my review of Quantum Leap 2×02 “Ben & Teller,” I just have to ask the writers one a few questions: Are you guys okay? Did we do something to make you mad? Did I personally run…
‘Quantum Leap’ 2×01 Review: “This Took Too Long!”
Quantum Leap 2×01 “This Took Too Long!” is the kind of episode that reminds me that there’s a huge difference between casual viewers and online fans. The fact the latter are so die-hard doesn’t necessarily make them “better” fans. However,…
‘The Irrational’ 1×02 Review: “Dead Woman Walking”
“I want you to solve my murder.” Could there ever be a more intriguing way to open a murder mystery than that? The Irrational 1×02 “Dead Woman Walking” show the series is determined to find its footing fast and come…
‘The Irrational’ 1×01 Review: “Pilot”
The television landscape is littered with procedural cop shows, so it takes something a little extra to stand out. The series set up in The Irrational 1×01 “Pilot” isn’t groundbreaking in terms of plot. It isn’t terribly noteworthy in the…
New ‘Return of the Jedi’ Poster Released Ahead Of 40th Anniversary Theatrical Run
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Which, yep, makes us feel pretty darn old. But while we sit back and tell ourselves “we’re not old, we’re vintage,” we can also celebrate this anniversary…
Daisy Ridley Will Return As Rey Skywalker, And We’re Conflicted
I loved Daisy Ridley as Rey in the most recent Star Wars trilogy. That said, what started off as excitement and enthusiasm for the trilogy itself turned into disappointment (and maybe even a touch of anger at some decisions made)…
‘True Lies’ 1×06 Review: “Working Vacation”
Harry (Steve Howey) and Helen (Ginger Gonzaga) have been straddling the line between marriage and spy life for a while now, and these two worlds intersect more than ever in True Lies 1×06 “Working Vacation.” It turns out, even spies…
‘Quantum Leap’ 1×18 Review: “Judgment Day”
Strap in, folks, because I’ve got a lot to say about Quantum Leap 1×18 “Judgment Day.” It may not be the season finale I expected, but it turned out to be exactly the season finale I didn’t know I wanted.…
Why The True Crime Community Needs To Clean House
Like many people, I watch a lot of true crime. I don’t know why the genre is so popular. I’ve heard a theory that many women, at least, tend to be drawn to true crime because it gives us a…
‘Up Here’ 1×08 Review: “Y2K”
What happens when two messes finally figure themselves out enough to make their relationship work? We find out in Up Here 1×08 “Y2K.” Well…to an extent. After the ill-considered kiss in the previous episode, Lindsay (Mae Whitman) and Miguel (Carlos…
‘Up Here’ 1×07 Review: “Baggage”
Everyone carries some kind of relationship baggage, but Up Here’s Miguel and Lindsay seem to carry more than most.
