Anime Review: Armed Girl’s Machiavellism
This is what you get when someone says, “Hey, you know what would be great? A samurai drama, but told as a high school harem comedy!” Gag me with a spoon! While the premise of this anime struck me as … Continue reading
Hidden Figures
I saw the trailers for Hidden Figures. I enjoyed them. I figured I’d enjoy the movie, but it just wasn’t a priority for me to see it. And as a certain nameless someone close to me absolutely raved about it, … Continue reading
Sunday’s Wisdom #136: Virtue in Extremis
“Only in darkness are we revealed. Goodness is not goodness that seeks advantage. Good is good in the final hour, in the deepest pit, without hope, without witness, without reward. Virtue is only virtue in extremis.” – Nardole, quoting the … Continue reading
This Week on TV, June 24, 2017
Spoiler Alert! We’ve just a couple more weeks left of my commentary, and then we’re going to have a few months without. Oh well, it’s been a pretty great season! Doctor Who was pretty good this week. It wasn’t, like, … Continue reading
MCU Copycatting #11: Who Did Marvel Copycat?
This is one of those things that I only just realized, but is so obvious. Count the cineverses, which I define as distinct properties existing within the same cinematic continuity. 1: The Marvel Cinematic Universe. 2: The DC Extended Universe. … Continue reading

This Week on TV, June 17, 2017
Spoiler Alert! And then there was one, the last, lone survivor on my lineup. It was… well, good, as in, not bad, but really felt a little lackluster. They can’t seem to make up their minds about whatever goes into … Continue reading
MCU Copycatting #10: A New Contender
By my last count, we have at least half a dozen distinct cinematic universes out there. Marvel’s MCU, DC’s DCEU, Arrowverse, and the animated movie universe, Fox’s X-Men, Sony’s Spider-Man (which will no longer have Spider-Man in it) as well … Continue reading
