The Twilight Zone: Try, Try
Well, I can’t say I’m disappointed that the series is coming to an end. We had a number of great episodes in a row, but for the penultimate one, Try Try, we’re back to heavy handed messages about the hostility … Continue reading

Star Trek: The Deadly Years
Talk about depressing! I mean, here’s the thing: Trek often tackles some big ideas and often that’s about slavery or racism or pets that reproduce so quickly they eat you out of house and home (…ok, fine, we’re not there … Continue reading

Cells at Work!! (Season 2 Review)
The second season of Cells at Work is just eight episodes long, so you would think the writers would have wanted to pack as much as they could into such a short run. Oddly, we get three individual episodes, and … Continue reading
The Avengers: The Decapod
Presumably as a result of the messed up episode order, Cathy has disappeared without explanation, and Steed instead enlists the help of a club singer called Venus Smith, played by Julie Stevens. She’s a great singer too, and the episode … Continue reading
The Outer Limits: Demon with a Glass Hand
In 2018, before Roger and I decided to dive into The Outer Limits as a weekly review, I’d flagged one episode for special notice. Today, it still stands out as one of the very best the series had to offer. … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: A Small Town
I had mentioned during Downtime, that it felt like the programmers of the game that we call life had a reason for preventing me from watching season 2 of The Twilight Zone until after Eric Molinsky released his Imaginary Worlds … Continue reading

Star Trek: Friday’s Child
I knew it was coming and I wasn’t looking forward to it. Friday’s Child was an episode that I never liked as a kid and that memory stuck with me all my life. But watching Trek with a critical eye … Continue reading

Medicinal Purposes
This is one of the rare times that I have to say, shame on you Big Finish! Medicinal Purposes left a very bad taste in my ears about Big Finish as a producer of Doctor Who merchandise. Thankfully, their success rate … Continue reading

Is This a Zombie? of the Dead (Season 2 Review)
It’s odd what gets a second series. So much excellent anime fails to reach a conclusion, ending with just one series and a story with huge potential left hanging forever. On the other hand, something like this, which has very … Continue reading

The Avengers: Propellant 23
We’ve gone international this week, with a story set in Marseilles. Well, it’s an airport in Marseilles and the inside of a plane. This being a British television show from 1962, France is represented by a couple of studio sets. … Continue reading
The Twilight Zone: A Human Face
Of all the episodes of Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone, this is the one that had some of the most interesting discussion between me and my group of “penpals”. We’re a handful of friends that watch shows “together”, which is to … Continue reading

Star Trek: Journey to Babel
Journey to Babel is an interesting episode of classic Trek that masquerades as a story of political intrigue, but ends up being much more of a medical drama and a view into other cultures. We’re sold the bill of goods … Continue reading

The Roof of the World
When I saw the title of this adventure, I was a bit put off because I know that refers to Tibet and I wasn’t up for an historical story. Still, I’ve been going in order, so I’d have to deal … Continue reading

Kill Me Baby (Anime Review)
What will you do next, Yasuna Oribe? That’s the question asked at the end of each episode of Kill Me Baby, and the answer is generally get beaten up by her best friend. It’s cartoonish violence, the kind that has … Continue reading

The Avengers: Mr. Teddy Bear
This episode starts with a faux live television broadcast. The magnificently-named Colonel Vernon Wayne-Gilley is being interviewed about his globe-trotting adventures. When he is asked his first question he looks a bit confused. You might be too, at this point … Continue reading
The Outer Limits: Behold Eck!
The Outer Limits was a show that was usually way ahead of its time. It came up with some really fantastic ideas but often failed on the execution. Sometimes that’s the result of the time it was made: special effects … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: 8
I’m embarrassed to say it took me until writing up this review to realize why the episode was titled 8. In fairness, it’s a testament to the writing, acting, and directing that the title just faded into the background. This … Continue reading
