Discerning television viewers are right to be skeptical about the idea of adapting the sci-fi film Snowpiercer for the small screen, but once they see the depth of emotion and heart-pounding action of the ten episode series that begins on TNT at 9pm ET on May 17th, their cynicism will disappear. This is not just

This SOLAR OPPOSITES review contains spoilers. Solar Opposites Episode 5 Something that’s always nice is when separate sitcom plots are still tied together thematically. “The Lavatic Reactor” is one such episode, centered around education, as Terry and Korvo enroll in a junior college and Jesse and Yumyulack attend what they believe to be summer school.

The show closes on a very somber note, as both Ahsoka and Anakin end the Clone Wars irrevocably changed. Ahsoka has renounced the Jedi way for good and Anakin has been manipulated into becoming a Sith monster with no one left to turn to. But while the series finale gives fans of The Clone Wars

Why Are Judy’s Paintings So Important? Judy’s arc over the course of Dead to Me season 2 is very delicate and her character goes to many places, including some tough material with her mother and a very endearing romance. Right from the start of the season Judy is eager to locate some paintings of hers

Unfortunately for Pep, many of those steamrolled footsies belonged to her friends, including Josie and Jorge, both of whom were directly impacted by her actions. And here, in this penultimate episode of the season, everything blows up in Pepper’s face. And it is the most captivating this show has ever been. Writer Evelyn Yves wisely

Project Blue Book has been sealed away in the proverbial Area 51 of cancelation by cable channel History after two seasons on the air. History’s Project Blue Book cancelation, reported via Deadline, occurs a little over a month after its March 24 airing of the show’s Season 2 finale, which ended things with the renewal-entreating

During another exercise, Libba Swythe’s (Abigail’s nemesis) unit helps Abigail, and they come to a place of mutual respect and kinship. Back at base, Alder has been surveilling the Spree, and when the cell makes a move, Alder directs Anacostia to send the cadets to intercept. Their citydrop turns into a real mission, against real

Netflix just doubled down on both horror content and creator Mike Flanagan. The Haunting of Hill House creator will be adapting another scary novel, Christopher Pike’s The Midnight Club, for the streamer, according to Variety. The Midnight Club was published in 1994 and follows five terminally-ill teenagers living at the same hospice home. To keep

Although that raises a question or two. If Hartley and Chester P. Runk both end up hanging around STAR Labs next year, wouldn’t that mean someone has to go? Much of this season seems to be about getting Caitlin/Frost to reconcile into one “whole” person, and once that’s complete, is there much left to explore

“Space Force came around in a rather atypical way. Netflix had this premise that they thought might make a funny show — the idea made everybody laugh in a meeting, an idea of a show about the origins of a fictitious Space Force. I heard about the idea through my agent, and Netflix pitched the

Stream your Star Wars favorites on Disney+ with a FREE TRIAL, on us! By the time of the Original Trilogy, it seems that there weren’t any clones left from the Prequel era. But did they all die out before the start of A New Hope? It’s unclear to this day exactly how long a clone

The existential dread that comes as part of the package deal with someone like Rick is largely missing. There’s no God-like character struggling to justify his increasingly meaningless existence on earth. Terry and Korvo are basic fools on earth who manufacture their own conflicts by constantly finding something new to obsess over. In one episode

What Was Dolores’s Plan?  In the end it turns out that Dolores wanted to redeem humanity rather than destroy it. As has been previously established, Dolores has every reason to hate humanity. Her creators have certainly not been kind of her, gifting her consciousness only to then throw to a band of rich wolves intent

But Ahsoka and Rex are still trapped on a Republic ship full of mind-controlled soldiers trying to kill them. According to the synopsis for “Victory and Death,” their escape from Order 66 will be the major focus of the episode: “Ahsoka and Rex must use their wit and skills to survive the turbulent end of

-We are also introduced to Queen Latifah as Hattie McDaniel… and she’s in a three way with a man and woman?! This is based on speculation and rumors that she was part of the alleged Hollywood Sewing Circle where stars in “lavender marriages” (married to gay men) secretly had lesbian and/or bisexual trysts. McDaniel was

Disney+ hit 50 million subscribers globally in early April, shortly after it finally launched in the UK and other regions, and while the platform has still got a way to go until it gets close to Netflix’s 167 million-strong base, it’s not a bad result so far for a streaming service that only originally got

Looking for the UK Amazon Prime new releases? Click here instead! It’s been awhile since the world has seen a new comedy from Greg Daniels, co-creator of The Office (U.S.) and Parks and Recreation. That all changes this month with Amazon Prime’s new releases for May 2020. That’s right, leading the pack of Amazon originals

Both Legends continuity and the Disney canon feature Jedi who, one way or another, survived past the end of the Clone Wars. Major Jedi characters like Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi went into exile until the Original Trilogy, in which they tried to keep the traditions of the Jedi alive by training Luke Skywalker. Revenge of

We collectively yearn for the distraction of a Met Gala, or of any socialization really, so in a way the show’s countless scenes of live music, shopping and bar-hopping feel like pandemic porn. Katy Keene has truly become the escapist saga it has always yearned to be…albeit due to tragic real world events that have

I enjoy the relationship between the three young women because they are so different and they balance one another. What happens to one affects them all, but they’re all uniquely affected. The writing gives them space to exist as individuals while still treating them as a unit. My only real—not issue, but note—is that Abigail

What We Do in the Shadows Season 2 is here! Bust out the creepy crepe paper! In case you’ve been stuck in your coffin for the last hundred years or so, What We Do in the Shadows is a documentary-style look into the daily (or rather, nightly) lives of four vampires who’ve “lived” together for hundreds

Marianne’s sexual proclivities have a slightly different treatment in the book as well, where word gets out about the images. The issue of consent is far murkier here, since the book doesn’t depict Marianne straightforwardly asking for a dom/sub relationship or a clear violation of those boundaries, but rather an entire relationship built on the

In the latest trailer for Agents of SHIELD season 7, we definitely get a fuller sense of how the Chronicoms will be able to infiltrate the human population of Earth’s past, but the bigger bombshell in the most recent promo actually comes from a brief conversation between Daisy and the recently activated Coulson LMD. Dressed

Former WWE champion, and arguably the biggest wrestling superstar of all-time, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin hasn’t done much scripted television since his retirement from pro wrestling in 2002. Austin has done his share of reality television and has also appeared in some movies while hosting his own successful podcast, The Steve Austin Show, on PodcastOne.  But

Personally, I wonder if the series, like Green’s own Halloween reboot, could discreetly ignore the often contradictory direct-to-video sequels and just focus on the main mythology established by author and filmmaker Clive Barker in the original ’87 horror classic and its earliest sequel, Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988). Despite the hellish titles, those earlier films, the

It was chilling at the time. That’s the best way to describe the opening credits of Homeland as originally presented in 2011. Premiering in the third year of Barack Obama’s presidency, and just five months after he announced to the nation that Osama bin Laden was dead, Homeland recontextualized that moment of mass American relief

Walter is an esteemed veteran London-born actress of stage and screen, who, in 2011, was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) for her accomplishments. She recently put in TV runs on The End, The Spanish Princess, Black Sails, The Crown and Downton Abbey, as well as a recent film appearance

Luckily, the show’s children are stepping up. Aethelflaed fulfilled her promise as a true leader of Mercia by coming to her people’s aid (even if her, Aldhelm and the bloke who waters the horses don’t stand a great chance against Cnut’s entire army). Finan the joker proved this episode to have a very wise head

There’s a twisted appeal to the idea. Over the course of its five seasons to date Better Call Saul has gradually made Jimmy and Kim’s relationship the most important aspect of its story, creating deeper viewer investment by the year until arriving at a place where we almost want them to stay together despite knowing

Commander Shaw rips into them and we get Ravi mentioning how much this rule hurt him and Roxy. It’s a small moment and you wish Ravi and his mom had a deeper discussion about it, but at least the show didn’t forget about this critical emotional beat. We see the hurt and disappointment between Nate
