Girl Meets World: Season 3/ Episode 17 "Girl Meets Hollywood" – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview Katy returns! But it is without Shawn. Add onto that, it is a slightly sappy episode with an eye roll inducing plot.

Review (with Spoilers) Perhaps for the first time since this show started, I was honestly shocked by something.

Overview As we go into part 2 of wrapping up the show’s first arc, a lot is explained in terms of how Death Gun came about. Review (with Spoilers) While the next episode is called “Debriefing,” it does seem most of the debriefing is done in this episode. We learn who the three members of…

Overview After a slightly lengthy prelude, we get to see the Bullet of Bullets 3 contest!

Overview Riley decides to do something even Maya wouldn’t dare do: Say no and disobey Topanga. Review (with Spoilers) With it still remaining unclear if Girl Meets World may have a season 4, episodes like this kind of remind you why Disney is kind of iffy about the idea. The writers seem to want to…

Queen Sugar: Season 1/ Episode 9 "Next to Nothing" – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview The storm has passed and with that comes a calm. Not a calm before the storm because this show isn’t about such things. It’s the type of calm which is healing.

Atlanta: Season 1/ Episode 10 "The Jacket" [Season Finale] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview The first season ends without much in the way of grand gestures or storyline and in many ways that is what seems appropriate. Review (with Spoilers) It is kind of weird for a season finale to not end on a cliffhanger, wrap up major stories, or be anything but just another episode. Admittedly, in…

Overview This episode steps away from GGO to have both Shino and Kirito reflect on what happened in the last episode.

Sword Art Online: Season 2/ Episode 6 "Showdown in the Wilderness" – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview Three lackluster battles are made up for with a flashback and Kirito and Sinon getting intimately close.

If anything, it feels…
