The Review at the End of the Universe
“The Face Behind the Glass” The 100 features a celebration and continues to develop the culture that has evolved on Sanctum while introducing various complications. There is literally a lot of ground to cover in this new season of The 100. Sanctum is a whole new world of possibilities, mysteries and compelling characters that the writers can…
“The Children of Gabriel” The 100 continues to build the background and mythology of Sanctum by introducing characters native to that planet and exploring how they relate to the new arrivals. At some point someone will have to come up with a collective noun for the characters of this so so that they can differentiated…
“Red Sun Rising” The 100 channels a horror movie as the new surroundings test the landing party’s sanity while the history of Sanctum starts to be revealed. As viewers we have the benefit of perspectives that the characters don’t. The episode opens with the early days of colonisation on the planet that will become known…
“Sanctum” The 100 begins a new season with a whole new world to explore as well as the handicap of existing baggage being brought along with the characters. Last season ended on an unexpected note with Clarke and Bellamy revived after being in suspended animation for over a century to find themselves in orbit of…
Marvel’s Inhumans has brought an end to its first -and likely- only season so Kneel Before Pod saw fit to give it a send-off in the form of a podcast since we were there at the very beginning. Craig and Chris took on the responsibility of talking about this show. The discussion covers the numerous…
“…And Finally, Black Bolt” Marvel’s Inhumans ends its first -and possibly only- season with significant changes for the Royal Family and the Inhuman population as a whole. So it’s finally done and if reports about ratings and overwhelmingly negative critical reception are to be believed we won’t be seeing any more of these characters; certainly…
“Havoc in the Hidden Land” The Royal Family return to Attilan and loyalties shift in the penultimate episode of Marvel’s Inhumans. Anyone who has been reading my reviews over the course of the season will know that I’ve found this show to be an exercise in frustration. The only two things keeping me watching are…
“The Gentleman’s Name is Gorgon” Marvel’s Inhumans reunites the entire Royal Family as Maximus feels his hold on Attilan start to slip away. There are only two episodes left in the season after this one and we are finally getting to the point where the entire Royal Family are back together. I wish I could…
“Something Inhuman This Way Comes” Marvel’s Inhumans finally brings most of the Royal Family back together as Crystal learns what it means to be Human. The past few episodes concentrating on the characters being on their own has been somewhat frustrating. As I’ve repeatedly said they aren’t interesting or sympathetic so waiting for them to…
“Make Way for…Medusa” Marvel’s Inhumans reaches the halfway point and starts to work on reuniting the characters as Maximus moves forward with his plan. I mentioned last week that Medusa was one of the stronger characters in that particular episode. That really isn’t saying much but she did have one genuinely emotionally resonant moment that…
