Hello to all trekkies, new and old alike. It’s time for my review of the latest episode of Picard called ‘Map and Legends’. Sit back and enjoy the show.
This episode starts off with a flashback to the Utopia Planitia Shipyards on Mars fourteen years ago. … More “Star Trek: Picard (S01E02) “Maps and Legends””
The episode begins at a train station in Ashland, Virginia. We see shots of many people making their way onto the train. Everyone gets on and the train ride begins. Once moving, an operative goes up to another passenger and asks for his laptop and IVS password.… More “The Enemy Within (S01E02) – “Black Bear””
Hey there!
After an exciting pilot, “Fam” came back with another episode called “Freddie Returns” and if there’s an expression that could sum up the entire episode that expression would be “WOW”.… More “Fam (S01E02) “Freddie Returns””
This review contains some major spoilers for the second episode of Manifest entitled Reentry (as well as some for the premiere).
Manifest doubled down on the mystery Monday night as it showed that is it not afraid to get its hands dirty when it comes to taking out their supporting characters.… More “Manifest (S01E02) “Reentry””

The opening scene of this episode reminded me of being in line for my first roller-coaster ride. The fear, the anxiety, the absolute terror at hearing those screams, the sweaty palms yet, the total excitement for the adrenaline rush.… More “9-1-1 (S01E02) “Let Go””
After one of her dreams lead her to a hidden door in the floor, revealing a disturbing room, Matilda (Lydia Wilson) is more determined than ever to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of Carys.… More “Requiem (S01E02) "The Blue Room"”
Last night’s episode was solid, but not fantastic. Following on the feels of the uplifting premier I suppose it had a hard target to reach. It felt like it was straining in that direction – magic always just out of reach.… More “Rise (S01E02) "Most of All to Dream"”
Stella and Wes, played by Lucy Hale and Elliot Knight, are visited by an INS agent and they have to prove their marriage is real or Wes might be sent back to London. While studying the questions that may be asked of them they learn new things about each other. … More “Life Sentence (S01E02) “Re-Inventing The Abbotts””
There’s not much to say about episode 2 – it follows the plot (faithfully) and mainly sets up the rest of the season by introducing Satoru’s hometown, his friends, and his mission.… More “Erased (S01E02) "Episode 2"”
Another week brings another fantastic episode of The Gifted. From unstable powers, to hair dye cleansing showers, there was a little something in it for everyone. We continue to see the struggles that mutants face on a daily basis, as well as how the human characters are adapting to this knowledge.… More “The Gifted (S01E02) “rX””
The episode opens with Manfred and Creek running from…something. We don’t see what it is, but we hear it and see that it has slashed Manfred’s side with a serious set of claws.… More “Midnight, Texas (S01E02) "Bad Moon Rising"”
The episode opens in the middle of a Ceremony, and I’m pretty sure it couldn’t be more uncomfortable if we had, in fact, walked in on them. Once again, the episode focuses on one of the major events that periodically punctuate a Handmaid’s otherwise monotonous life.… More “The Handmaid’s Tale: (S01E02) “Birth Day””
The second episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 The Return continues the quippy fun from the first episode while also improving on the skits outside the movie riffing. Strange fantasy film, Cry Wilderness, about a boy who talks to Bigfoot (Yes, you read that right), is suitably bad.… More “Mystery Science Theater 3000 The Return (S01E02) “Cry Wilderness””
WARNING: FULL SPOILERS
I guess 24: Legacy really wants to emulate the original 24. Unfortunately, it’s emulating that show’s worst seasons. While Corey Hawkins gives an emotional performance, he can’t save an episode riddled with stupidity.… More “24: Legacy (S01E02) “1:00pm-2:00pm””
Taboo’s second episode manages to reveal more while also becoming more complicated. Tom Hardy once again carries the show on his charismatic shoulders as some interesting wrinkles are showing in his carefully crafted tapestry of revenge.… More “Taboo (S01E02): “Episode Two””
