Love, Death and Robots: Snow in the Desert

Similar to last episode, I wanted to stay in this world a bit longer.  It’s a fascinating one filled with strange people.  At first glance, we see a man wandering the desert, but as soon as he gets into town, … Continue reading

Love, Death and Robots: Pop Squad

Having now seen 20 episodes of this series, I feel like I know more or less what to expect.  And then this episode happens and it surprises me.  It surprises me because every other story felt self-contained.  Yes, they are … Continue reading

Love, Death and Robots: Ice

Season 1 was a real surprise to me, telling stories with a deeper meaning, that I’ve come to expect the same from season 2.  Now, that’s not to say that some of those stories in the first season weren’t just … Continue reading

Love, Death and Robots: Automated Customer Service

Season 2 opens with Automated Customer Service… or at least it did for me, but it also shows as the first episode of season two according to Wikipedia.  I had high hopes for this when I’d seen the title.  I’ve … Continue reading

Love, Death and Robots: The Secret War

Come on, at first sight, you hoped for that epic Marvel battle with Doctor Doom, didn’t you?  Ok, maybe it was just me but I really liked that when I’d read it as a kid!  Alas, this Secret War is … Continue reading

Love, Death and Robots: Alternate Histories

Fun fact: when I play video games, I really don’t like killing humans.  I prefer to play games where you get the option to find another way.  Most games don’t give you the option and I frequently feel bad, but … 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love, Death and Robots: When the Yogurt Took Over

This was the fastest episode of the season – coming in at 6 minutes – and at first glance, it seems to be just a lightweight comedy.  The voiceover that tells the story of what happened when the yogurt takes … Continue reading

Love, Death and Robots: Sucker of Souls

I have yet to come across one of these that hasn’t been based on a short story and it makes me consider how this must have come across in written format.  Sucker of Souls is about an archeological expedition that unleashes … Continue reading

Love, Death and Robots: Suits

How can I best describe Suits?  When I saw the title, I thought of a totally different sort of story, but maybe that’s because members of my family have raved about a show called Suits.  No, this isn’t about businessmen.  … Continue reading

Love, Death and Robots: The Witness

The Witness is a manic, fast paced episode that doesn’t let up from the moment it begins.  To give some example of what I mean, I keep a notepad with me when watching the shows we review here at The Junkyard, … Continue reading

Love, Death and Robots: Sonnie’s Edge

We come now to the episode that caused a bit of contention between me and my fellow blogger, Roger.  I don’t blame him really but I had seen two episodes, which I thought were excellent, so I told Roger to … Continue reading

Love, Death and Robots: Beyond the Aquila Rift

The second episode I saw, also out of order if one bases things on how Wikipedia offers the list was Beyond the Aquila Rift.  As a science fiction fan, this appealed to me the moment I saw the title.  I … Continue reading
