“What If…?” Season 3 Review

What If…?: With Jeffrey Wright, Terri Douglas, Matthew Wood, Fred Tatasciore. Exploring pivotal moments from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and turning them on their head, leading the audience into uncharted territory. Every television series has to continuing moving in a direction or it’s going to get stagnant, and most comic book shows or movies have to constantly one up the season that came before it. The third (and final) season of “What if” takes that to the extreme with transuniversal, omnipowerful powerleveling of characters taking to their over the top logical end points in which everyone involved has more power...

Out of the Dark

The launch of a new science fiction adventure series–by the New York Times-best selling author of the Safehold series and the Honor Harrington series The Galactic Hegemony has been around a long time, and it likes stability–the kind of stability that member species like the aggressive, carnivorous Shongairi tend to disturb. So when the Hegemony Survey Force encountered a world whose so-called “sentients”–“humans,” they called themselves–were almost as bad as the Shongairi themselves, it seemed reasonable to use the Shongairi to neutralize them before they could become a second threat to galactic peace. And if the Shongairi took a few...

“Dune: Prophecy” Review

Dune: Prophecy: Created by Diane Ademu-John, Alison Schapker. With Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka. Two Harkonnen sisters combat forces that threaten the future of humankind and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit. A worthy entry into the modern adaptation universe, the story is solid and the actors are all amazing, and the tv budget only peeks through infrequently and isn’t all that noticeable. Buy On Amazon!

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Asylum

When Una Chin-Riley and Christopher Pike meet at Starfleet Academy after one of his lectures, they immediately become friends. A stellar student, Una is the “poster girl” of her class, and Pike is determined to become a Starfleet captain with his own ship, rhetorically assembling his dream crew. As their friendship evolves, Pike also suspects Una is involved with the Euxhana, a Chionian cultural minority, who are seeking asylum in Federation space, leading to more questions than answers.

“Madame Web” Review

Madame Web: Directed by S.J. Clarkson. With Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor. Forced to confront her past, Cassandra Webb, a Manhattan paramedic that may have clairvoyant abilities, forms a relationship with three young women destined for powerful futures, if they can survive their threatening present. Watching this at home wasn’t a jarring as watching it in a theater. It feels much more at home on a smaller screen with distractions happening every 20 minutes and a wife asking questions every other scene about the scene that just happened. The story isn’t all that complicated, it has plenty...
