The Last Castle (part two)
I did appreciate the giant "fuck you" that Vance is giving to the American Colonization Society and their ilk. At the same time though...well, the decision to have the only other alternative to that be a war of extermination between the rebel slaves and everyone else on Earth is...a choice. One that makes me reluctant to give him too much credit.
The Owl House S2E1-3: "Separate Tides," "Escaping Expulsion," and "Echoes of the Past"
Season two, episode three, is a game changer of an episode.
The Owl House S1E18-19: "A Witch's Anguish" and "Young Blood, Old Souls"
We've been building up to this guy since the pilot, and he does not disappoint.
Shadows House S1E10: "The Final Pair"
The personality that the morph develops is an imitation of their human template, but not a perfect imitation.
Shadows House S1E9: "A Birdcage and Flowers"
Definitely some kind of conspiracy going on within the upper ranks.
Midnight Mass (part five)
In their boat in the channel, the last two human residents of Crockett Island - both teenagers, its final generation - watch as the sunlight falls on the shore. The fires burning across the island are joined by more flames, scintillating and golden, that light up across the beach.
Midnight Mass (part three)
The dead consuming the living, an inverse of the natural process of decomposition. The old consuming the young, an inverse of the natural process of childbirth and parenting. They come out at night, when the sun is asleep, God isn't looking, and the natural order can be challenged. When children are found missing the next dawn, it's a victory of the night over the day, the past over the future, that which should be dead over that which should have gotten to live.
Midnight Mass (part two)
The old priest, Father Pruitt, is not in the hospital. He did not fall ill during his Israel trip, at least not precisely.
Midnight Mass (part one)
After watching the first episode, I was surprised to learn that this wasn't an actual Stephen King project.
Chainsaw Man #37-38: "Train, Head, Chainsaw" and "Easy Revenge"
Anyway, that's the end of the Fireteam crisis plotline.
Chainsaw Man #35-36: "Minor" and "Katana vs. Chainsaw"
Well, we already knew that Yakuza-kun isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Even if his arms and face can get pretty sharp at times.
Veggietales S1E4: "Rach, Shack, and Benny"
An American-made Christian children's series that - inexplicably - isn't terrible.
Chainsaw Man #31-32: "The Future Rules" and "Over and Over Again"
...the existence of this entity alone might actually lead to the internet not being a publically available thing in this world. Enough people doomscrolling could make it omnipotent.
Chainsaw Man #29-30: "Perfect Score" and "Bruised and Battered"
He's like if Van Helsing was written as the lead poisoned old coach from "Dodgeball."
Arcane Season Two: Finale
Arcane season 2 was conceptually damaged even before getting into the pacing and storytelling issues.
Arcane Season Two (part four)
I'm going to restate what I pointed out earlier, about how much time early season 2 spent on long, slow mourning scenes and artsy music video sequences. Again, to be clear, I *liked* most of the music videos. I'm glad that they were there and that I could see them. But like...if they knew they had this amount of story to tell and this little time to tell it in, what the hell were they even thinking when they did that stuff? Priorities!
Arcane Season Two (part three)
This episode tells us what happened to Ekko, Jayce, and Heimerdinger after they met the Annihilation-blob in the relay tower's engine room.
