The Review at the End of the Universe
“Last Holiday” Supernatural returns from a very long hiatus with a light hearted episode to ease viewers back in after such a long absence. It’s been a long time since new Supernatural was on the air and an even longer time since I last reviewed it. Life circumstances got in the way of me keeping…
Grief is a very complex and powerful experience. Anyone who has experienced significant loss will know what I mean by this. It’s something that takes hold and never really lets go though it does get alternately easy and difficult to deal with depending on an infinite number of factors. The best analogy I found to…
“The Last War” The 100 delivers its last ever episode with a test for the Human Race over whether they’re worthy of transcending to another plane of existence. Endings are hard.

“Blood Giant” The 100 returns from another hiatus and reunites much of the cast in a single location while addressing the various plot threads at play. For some of the runtime of this episode there was an old school The 100 vibe to it in terms of it being a frenetic crisis that was challenging…

Chris Palmer’s Superman: Man of Tomorrow takes the Man of Steel right back to the beginning for a fresh take on his origin. Adapting a character that has been around for as long as Superman has and finding a different approach to telling the story of what led to him becoming the iconic hero is…
