Doctor Who “Demons Of The Punjab” – Review

Imperialism: to conquer, spread your upper-class’ idea of civilization, generate hatred for yourself, and eventually, divide so you can cause as much harm as humanly possible by fueling sectarian hatred and violence. I never said once that “Demons of the Punjab” was…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 6 Review

Episode 6 marks a climatic turning point for Rings of Power season one. This episode is titled “Udun” and focuses entirely on the Southlands. Bronwyn, her son Theo, and Arondir try desperately to defend against the might of Adar’s orc forces while…

Doctor Who “The Tsuranga Conundrum” – Review

Doctor Who “Rosa” – Review

Does anyone else want to talk about America’s racism problem? No, just me. So for those that don’t know, Rosa Parks is a woman who sat on a bus, and if Chibnall wrote this episode alone, that is all you’d learn. The…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 3 – Review

There is a lot that happens in LOTR: The Rings of Power episode 3. Unfortunately, it still fails at transcending past the realm of mediocrity. This episode is titled “Adar,” and focuses on Arondir as he is made an unwilling slave to…
