Buck Rogers: Olympiad
I realize I’m biased: when a sports themed episode turns up, I know I sort of drift away from the start but this episode really is weak. I also realized, now that I’m an adult, that most of the shows … Continue reading
Angel: Rm w/a Vu
Wait just a second… This episode could put me off the whole show for one reason alone. The “little old lady” ghost died at 57!??!?!?! 57 is “little old lady” material???? David Greenwalt and Jane Espenson, you’ve got some ‘splainin’ … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Blindspot
The moment Blindspot began, I was reminded of the video game Borderlands. It might as well take place there with the animation, language, and plot. A bunch of cyborgs plan a heist of a nearby train. The best laid plans of … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Twiki is Missing
You’ve got to laugh when an episode gets a title that only really matters for the first 20 minutes of the story. After that, Twiki may be kidnapped, but Buck is with him, knows where he is and is never … Continue reading
Angel: I Fall to Pieces
After the third episode of Angel where I found myself laughing withing minutes, I was looking forward to the next story with a lot of excitement. Within minutes, however, I was bored. The silliness of getting missions because of a … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Zima Blue
This may be the most profound 10 minutes of television I’ve ever seen. I’m not certain of that, because there is so much to weed through that it’s hard to really make that claim, but my brain has been struggling … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Ardala Returns
I’ve said before when referring to all of the shows we watch: they can’t all be winners. And I stand by that with Ardala Returns because most of the episode had me waiting for something exciting to happen and, if I’m … Continue reading
Angel: In the Dark
Having returned to the land of Buffy, I was really looking forward to sticking with the Slayer but heard that the best way to watch this series was to alternate between Buffy and Angel. I was a bit bummed to … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Lucky 13
Superstition raises its illogical head when junior officer Colby is given a new ship: Lucky 13. With a serial number that has 13 in it twice, and whose digits add up to 13, it’s easy to see why this may be … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: A Blast for Buck
Synchronicity is a weird thing. My sister happened to get my post about the end of the year, which opened with me asking where time goes, only to immediately get another email opening with the exact same question. The day … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Fish Night
This has to be the strangest of the tales so far this season. One of the things I really love about this series is that it’s got a vast range. We’ve seen comedy, drama, plenty of sci-fi and no shortage … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Happy Birthday, Buck
It’s a bit depressing coming off Space Vampire to get such a mundane story. In reality, none of these episodes have tread new ground, but they are all varying degrees of fun with old plot lines. However, this episode is just a … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Helping Hand
I’ve got to hand it to them: this has got to be, hands-down, the most agonizing 8 minutes of television I’ve ever seen. Ok that had to be said, but seriously, if humans need a reminder of just how dangerous … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Space Vampire
I didn’t know when to expect this in the season (I’ve been going through these without looking ahead), but I knew it was coming at some point and was so happy to revisit this one. I never forgot it, although … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Shape-shifters
No denying it: I’m a sucker for a werewolf movie. The unfortunate thing is that there are seldom good ones. I have memories of some that I liked, but I think if I view them now, I might regret it, … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Cruise Ship to the Stars
Look up Space: 1999 and the first few words on Wikipedia is “…a British Science-fiction television programme that ran for two series from 1975 to 1977.” Look up Buck Rogers and you’ll find, “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century is … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: The Dump
Perhaps if it were called The Junkyard, I might have liked it more. The unfortunate truth is I have a bit of a bias myself: I don’t like things to be low class. Crass behavior puts me off and I … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Escape from Wedded Bliss
Let me get this right: Ardala is back and she is searching for a human husband and the top of the line is a guy she met once for a few minutes? First off, isn’t Earth the enemy of the … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Good Hunting
Sometimes a story hits all the right marks and manages to say something even when the basis isn’t that deep. What we really have here is a revenge story; revenge against cruelty and tyranny. It revs the engines and has … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Cosmic Whiz Kid
Oh dear, what have we got here? When this series starts, I rapidly zip past the opening scenes of what’s to come because I think that’s a deplorable thing to do with an episode. I realize this is sort of … Continue reading
