Sailor Moon – Paired With a Monster: Mako, the Ice Skating Queen review

A contrived plot equipment brings down this episode of Sailor Moon. Read our thoughts here! I… okay, look… I have got to draw the line somewhere, and this episode is fucking ridiculous. Im not saying that makes it bad, but it isridiculous. Lets start with our girl Jupiter. Did Moon Healing Escalation purge them of their discord. If so, Im not happy with that.

Star Wars Rebels Season Finale Review: Fire Across the Galaxy

The Rebels bring the fight to Mustafar in a small-scale but satisfying finale. Here’s our review… The other half of the episode is all about the Jedi, as two Force-strong lineages collide. Fire Across The Galaxy offers beautiful tidbits even outside its main plot. A yellow-lit hallway looks like a Ralph McQuarrie painting, made even better by Ezras lightsaber cutting into it. The ending is powerful, although it takes place far from Lothal....
