REVIEW: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power – Season 1, Episode 4, “The Great Wave”
The halfway point for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has been reached with “The Great Wave,” yet barely anything of import has occurred. This show truly does redefine what it means to be bad television in every conceivable manner. All the rampant issues depicted in the previous episod...
Read MoreREVIEW: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Season 1, Episode 5 “Mean, Green, and Poured Straight into These Jeans”
“Mean, Green, and Poured Straight into These Jeans” may be the worst episode of She-Hulk (so far; we’ve got four more of these suckers to go). The woke feminist stuff is present, though not as abrasively as in, say, the pilot, and it’s got plenty of bad plotting and character work to complem...

Read MoreREVIEW: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power – Season 1, Episode 3, “Adar”
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power continues with episode 3, “Adar,” which, once again, is a bloated, nonsensical slog that breaks every fundamental rule of writing, characterization, and dialogue. The plot could have easily been condensed into less than 15 minutes, just like the previous...
