Thoughtful Reflections on Faith and Life
The new DCU has begun. Officially the start of it was Creature Commandos and the new Superman movie. Sort of. The issue is that James Gunn, who heads the new DCU, had already done some DC work with the Suicide Squad and Peacemaker: Season One. Are they part of the new DCU? Again, sort of. … Read More “Peacemaker: Season Two – Review” »
Having recently watched the previous Star War series, Skeleton Crew, watching the second season of Andor was a bit of a whiplash in terms of tone and maturity levels. While Skeleton Crew was definitely aimed at young audiences, Andor is for maturer audiences, dealing with some very dark themes. This season picks up where the … Read More “Andor: Season Two – Review” »
I watched the second season of SAS: Rogue Heroes. I am still trying to figure out what I think of this series. It has both good and bad elements to it. First of all, the SAS pretty much demands a television or movie adaptation. Their role in the Second World War was both important and … Read More “SAS: Rogue Heroes – Season Two” »
One of the shows that we have been watching regularly is Severance. It is such a unique show in both premise and tone. The first season focused on the concept of these employees whose minds were severed to the point that their work and family lives were completely separate. There were hints that more was … Read More “Severance: Season Two – Review” »
Imagine living in a silo with 144 floors but you don’t know why you and the others live there or what is outside of the silo. That is the premise of Silo, a science fiction series on Apple TV. Like any society, there is some hierarchy. In this case, there is a mayor, a judge, … Read More “Silo: Seasons 1 & 2 – Review” »
The second season of Rings of Power has been very divisive. There were people who didn’t like the first season but it seems that with the second season, certain people disliked it even more and others absolutely loved it. The main problem, from what I can see, is that this is not based on a … Read More “Rings of Power: Season Two – Review” »
Game of Thrones was a huge phenomenon and so it was natural that there would be a spinoff. The Targaryens were a natural place to start, both because of their past possession of the throne and their use of dragons. Season two starts where the first season ended. The fight for the throne is bitter. … Read More “House of the Dragon: Season Two – Review” »
Marvel has been creating a lot of television content for Disney +. Some of it is better than others. So far, Loki is only one so far to get a second season. I was surprised when I first heard that they were giving Loki a series but I thought they came up with an imaginative … Read More “Loki: Season Two – Review” »
Wow. Just wow. I could actually leave my review with those words. But your probably want a little more detail and so I will share a few more thoughts. Star Trek Strange New Worlds, if you did were not already aware, follows the adventures of the USS Enterprise in the years preceding James T. Kirk … Read More “Star Trek Strange New Worlds: Season Two – Review” »
I really like the premise of See. It is a post-apocalyptic world in which the majority of the world is blind. Society has gotten accustomed to life without sight and people who can see are considered witches and people to be hunted down. The series follows one family: a pair of siblings with sight, their … Read More “See: Season Two – Review” »
Doom Patrol is definitely one of the stranger superhero shows on television. If you can even call it a superhero show. It is based primarily on the Grant Morrison run of the Doom Patrol comics. This season begins where the first season ended, with most of the Doom Patrol shrunk to miniature size. Once that … Read More “Doom Patrol: Season Two – Review” »
I am slowly getting caught up on the Arrow series. I watched the first season years ago but now am going back through it to watch all the seasons I missed. The second season is supposed to be one of the best seasons of the series but I was somewhat disappointed. I think part of … Read More “Arrow: Season Two – Review” »
This is a great time to be a Star Trek fan as there are numerous Star Trek series on television right now. One of the most prominent is Picard. This review will include some spoilers. Some people have complained that Picard has not “felt” like Star Trek. I actually very much disagree. The second season … Read More “Star Trek Picard: Season 2 – Review” »
I really enjoyed the second season of Stargirl. It built upon the strengths of the first season and was able to take the characters a bit deeper. One of the things that I appreciated was that they were able to get more into the background of Justice Society of America. We even get to meet … Read More “Stargirl: Season Two – Review” »
The second season of Black Summer was similar in style to the first season and just as interesting. Whereas the first season was about how various people dealt with the first weeks of the zombie apocalypse, this one is more of how humanity settles into the “new normal.” Spoiler alert: They don’t do well. Season … Read More “Black Summer: Season Two – Review” »
To be honest, there is not much difference between the first and second seasons of Voyager. That doesn’t mean that they are bad. Season two starts where the first ended. Voyager is still making their way back to the alpha quadrant. Inexplicably, they are still stopping to analyze every anomaly that they encounter. The Kazon … Read More “Star Trek Voyager: Season Two – Review” »
The Umbrella Academy is a strange show. Very strange. The only thing like it is the Doom Patrol. But I like it. At the end of the last season, the Umbrella Academy had inadvertently triggered the end of the world. Their only chance of escape was to go back in time. They found themselves in … Read More “Umbrella Academy: Season Two – Review” »
The Mandalorian is some of the best Star Wars story telling that has ever been told. It is even better than some of the original trilogy. One of the things that I love about it is that delves deep into the Star Wars mythology, including the animated series. You don’t have to know all that … Read More “Mandalorian: Season Two – Review” »
I have been a Star Trek fan for many years. I can honestly say that Discovery is one of my favourite series in the franchise. One of the criticisms I have heard is that Discovery is good science fiction but doesn’t feel like Star Trek. I thought the first season did a good job of … Read More “Star Trek Discovery: Season Two – Review” »
