Falling Skies: Hatchlings Review

Although many of this weeks quick resolutions dont seem earned, Falling Skies delivers some surprise moments. This review contains spoilers for the latest episode. Sometimes I dont mind easy victories. But sometimes a win can lose a bit of its impact when the trouncing isnt realistic. Brian, the skitterized human with a sister, was one such hurdle. Instead, the siblings served only as a vehicle to get Hal and Maggie close to an Overlord....

Knights of Sidonia Season 2 Review

Knights of Sidonia returns for a second season on Netflix. Does it deliver the mech vs. kaiju action? Dont be fooled by the lateness of this review (SDCC got in the way! ): I watched the entire second season in a binge the Saturday after the episodes dropped on Netflix. Theres so much to enjoy about this show,much of which I outlined in an article last year. Enter Tsumugi, whose monstrous form is no match for how freaking adorable she is....

Why Mr. Robot Is Fight Club’s Spiritual Successor

Fight Clubonly had global consumerism and emasculation to rail against. Imagine Tyler Durdens invective now, after Facebook, the 2008 financial crisis, PRISM…. The things we own ending up owning us? That almost sounds cosy compared to a world where we, and our privacy, are the product. Had Palahniuk writtenFight Clubnow, its anger would likely be directed somewhere other than Starbucks. Project Mayhem wouldnt just be blowing up credit card companies, itd be spreading its chaos online....

Dark Matter: Episode Five Review

The most important of these would seem to be the infection and subsequent recovery of Two. When Two failed to show symptoms and revealed a completely healed bite wound, I definitely got chills! What could it mean? Could our heroes be from a parallel universe? Speculation is an excellent fuel for viewer interest. Questions like: who is the crews overbearing employer, played by Stargate alum, David Hewlett? And whats really behind that big door anyway?...

Defiance: Where the Apples Fell Review

This review contains spoilers. The Tarrs have had it coming for a long time. At least General Tahk finally delivered the rallying cry to his troops! Ad content continues below Im including Alaks and Nolans bluff in that praise. I also enjoyed Alaks discussion with Irisa about the circumstances of his baby sons rescue. When he thanked Nolan and Irisa separately, the audience got to see them each at their most vulnerable....

Doctor Who series 9: first trailer breakdown

What this actually means, we can only speculate. The trailer for the new series ofDoctor Whotantalised us with a feast of monsters and new Peter Capaldi memes. Here are some images, coupled with some idle speculation. This is definitely a Dalek city. And is this photo of Clara and Missy from the same location? Missy is looking more perturbed and stunned than maniacal in this trailer. Time for some more character development?...

Dominion: Heirs of Salvation Review

Syfys underrated angels-of-the-apocalypse series, Dominion, returns with a vengeance for its sophomore season. Spoilers aheadfor my review of tonights episode, Heirs of Salvation. But this deal is complicated by Alexs inability to decipher the markings. Certainly, goading an archangel with Daddy issues, as Alex puts it, doesnt help matters. But more on her in a moment. In a world abandoned by God, such piety is in short supply. The towns church is not just a roof and four wallsits a place of worship....

The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited Review

Does the series make the jump to MMORPG status well, though? The main reason for this is the first or third person, action-oriented play and the real-time combat. Yes, theres a metric ton of content here, with a huge and dynamic world to adventure in. Here youre taught the basics before youre thrown out into the vast world like a newborn babe. And its here where the games first hiccup poked me in the eye....

Sailor Moon Crystal: Showdown/Death Phantom Review

With one episode to go, Prince Demande has a last dissent and the animation keeps getting better. Our review of Sailor Moon Crystal Act 25. Demande stands ready to tap the two Silver Crystals together, which will be … very, very bad. Unfortunately, the cost of this Hail Mary is Plutos life. The first half of this episode was just dynamite. Holy crap, people! Thats some good stuff. So, everyones jazzed because a guardian to succeed Sailor Moon has been born, and then its halftime....
