The Orville: Shadow Realms (2022) Season 3, Episode 2

Still better than discovery

[7/10 · 11 June 2022]

Missing the Seth humour. Only one or two funny jokes an episode is a little disappointing but still enjoying it. The typical tropes are fine. Looking forward to the rest! More humour please!

Derry Girls: Halloween (2022) Season 3, Episode 6

Love Derry girls

[6/10 · 18 May 2022]

I love Derry girls. The last two episodes.... The parents one I feel was a filler. The last one I was really enjoying untill the last 5 mins. It doesn't seem to fit very well as it just seems to end abruptly.

The Expanse: Babylon's Ashes (2022) Season 6, Episode 6

It was great.... I think... I'm not sure

[7/10 · 24 January 2022]

The last episode was an amazing mid season episode. But there are still so many unanswered questions. I've eaten a great pie but the last piece has been taken away from me.

The Wheel of Time (2021– )

Big fan of the books

[7/10 · 20 November 2021]

This is a TV show not the books, it fills a fantasy void. I love the books I've read them a few times. The show changes things for a 2020s look at a 90s storytelling.

The mixed races thing people are complaining about is not a story breaker I think as long as the cultures Robert Jordon put in place are kept.

The four ta'veren annoys me because the three guy are pushed and pulled into every situation and are trying their best to just be them. The two women are forces to be reckoned with and their story's are driven by them being them not the pattern. I feel if you actually read the books they don't need it or want it. The women are the best part of the book characters.

The aes sedai are supposed to maintain composure at all times what's with the manic horse chases and things, a calm woman is much scarier than a manic woman.

The whole story is about how clever, strong and powerful women are just calm the women power in your face down a touch and stick to the books.

Trollocs were great!

Whitecloaks mental enough but too few in number.

Channeling looked cool.

Lan is an amazing fit.

Rosamund slightly annoying.

Looking forward to the rest. Then I'll read the books again. I might do it soon actually.

Superstore: Labor (2016) Season 1, Episode 11

I know more names!

[9/10 · 29 April 2021]

Like..... Steve.

The best episode yet. The Glenn Steve bit had us in stitches.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: One World, One People (2021) Season 1, Episode 6

Better

[8/10 · 23 April 2021]

Best episode of the season and I was bored all the way through the rest. "I could never live up to Steve Rodgers....... Oh wait that guy is a douche bag maybe I could..... Look at me I'm a flying Captain America!" Sums up the six hour snooze fest.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: The Whole World Is Watching (2021) Season 1, Episode 4

Like watching a dripping tap

[4/10 · 15 April 2021]

Bored! I thought it was falcon and winter soldier not the sam and Bucky show. Nearly didn't watch this episode because I am so bored with it. Half our in feels like I've been watching it for hours! Every drip fed "good" moment is not worth the 52 min runtime.

The Expanse: Nemesis Games (2021) Season 5, Episode 10

Wow #eyeroll

[7/10 · 3 February 2021]

They missed the bar here the biggest bad of all is left for the last season with no reference to it in the 5th season if you missed the 4th seasons "there's a bigger fish" due to a sneeze or a wild child then you have no idea what the last scene was about. I know Alex was leaving too but that death was crap. No pushing through the last minute of his life to save his friend no build up just. Oh Alex is dead, oops. A wasted season. It got a 7 because it's the fight scenes were great and I do love it but I was disappointed with the 2nd half

The Expanse: Hard Vacuum (2021) Season 5, Episode 8

Bored now

[4/10 · 21 January 2021]

The first two episodes were amazing! Now we've been stuck looking for Naomi for far too long this episodes Naomi scenes could have been halved and still included all the story she needs. More Camina! There's a character to love! Was so sad they killed klaes off. Alex and Roberta and a great combo! Just leave Naomi to float for a few episodes please!

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (2019)

Emperor Palpacrane

[4/10 · 4 May 2020]

Rey and the philosophers Stone would have been a better title.

Looks great, sounds great, I didn't mind the acting they seemed to work better together in this one.

The story line..... What story line? The last three were written on a Starbucks napkin 30 seconds after finishing watching the first 6 for the first time the first hour of the movie was a Harry Potter ripoff and the the rest was fab service, rey crawling through the "I'm your father" scene and the throne room, and incoherent dribble, horses on a space craft, the kiss, heal tennis. Also! During watching my wife uttered "emperor palpacrane!" I felt like I had to share

Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019) Season 8, Episode 6

Not the worst episode in season 8

[5/10 · 20 May 2019]

I think the rest of season 8 is worse. Not the ending to the whole or characters I would have picked. Looked great though. 5 for the small council. Peter Dinklage acting is amazing. What was the night king about?

Game of Thrones: The Bells (2019) Season 8, Episode 5

No bad guy deaths??

[3/10 · 15 May 2019]

So, night king died which made Cersi the bad guy. Ok waiting for a cool death; does Arya face swap thing with Jamie and stab her/ cut her throat? Does Danny melt her raiders of the lost ark style to the iron throne that she's refused to give up? Does sir Gregor squash her head against a wall to get to clegane?

The answer: no they drop a brick on her. In two minutes I came up with 3 better deaths for a bad guy.

Episode looked good. And had some great cinematics. But it has been written by two people who have given up.
