Showtime Releases Yellowjackets Promo in the Style of MTV News — With Kurt Loder!
Hey, look, it’s Kurt Loder! Showtime has released a promo for Yellowjackets in the style of an MTV News brief, and I have to say the whole thing is perfect. You may be thinking that it’s kind of weird to ask the public for information about what happened to a group that was clearly in […] More

Favorite Uses of Music in Yellowjackets Season 1
I love everything about Yellowjackets: the mysteries that resonate across temporal distance, the characters, the cannibalism… And, of course, the music. Season 1 brought us so many solid uses of music I could hardly list them all (though here’s a site that does). Also, to be clear here, I’m not saying I like all of […] More

Let’s Overanalyze the Yellowjackets Season 2 Trailer!
I wrote a Yellowjackets Season 1 recap before I’d watched the trailer that was recently released, so if you’d prefer to read something free from any spoilers this footage may provide, you might want to head over there and stop reading now. I would understand completely, as part of me doesn’t like the amount of […] More

Yellowjackets Season 1 Recap: Questions and Mysteries Heading into Season 2
With Yellowjackets Season 2 on the horizon, it’s as good a time as any to look back at Season 1. I’ve set out to provide a recap, but it’s largely structured around lingering questions and the broader mysteries that shape the show. I’ll take them one at a time, in an order I think makes […] More

The following contains spoilers for the whole series and the character arc of John Locke, particularly for the events of “Walkabout” Lost, S1E4, (written by David Fury and directed by Jack Bender) which first aired on ABC in the United States on October 13, 2004. “Walkabout” begins, as so many episodes of Lost do, with […] More

Doctor Who’s First Season Is Absolutely Fantastic
Fittingly enough for a show based around time travel, revisiting the first season of Doctor Who’s 2005 revival feels like opening a time capsule of sorts. The series’ previous glory days as a staple of British television were long behind it, an attempt at a revival in the mid-90s went nowhere, and the show wouldn’t […] More

More Than A Sci-Fi Show: The Heartfelt Season 4 of Doctor Who
It’s no secret that most Doctor Who fans praise David Tennant as their favourite Doctor. Despite the success of Billie Piper and Freema Agyeman as his first two companions, Rose Tyler and Martha Jones respectively, Catherine Tate’s Donna Noble is another firm fan-favourite. So the success of Season 4 was inevitable, really. Doctor Who never […] More

The BBC will claim it was axed due to dwindling […] More

There is absolutely no better television experience than watching Lost with someone who has never seen the show before and finds themselves absolutely hooked. I recently was reminded of this because my family is making our way through the show, this being the first time my children (ages 14 and 11) have experienced it. Several […] More

If Krycek Were the Main Character of The X-Files…
Last year I wrote what I believed would be my one and only Krycek essay, into which I poured nearly everything I could possibly deduce about his character. If you haven’t read it (I won’t take it personally, although I assure you it’s good stuff!), I will reiterate the most basic summary of his character: […] More
