Deathwalker

Review: Babylon 5 1.09 deathwalker-lg

Immortality is cool, until you realize that your wife also took the immortality serum and will be asking you if she looks fat for all of eternity. One hope I do have is that if I take an immortality serum I can as a Cubs fan finally see them win the World Series about 200 years from now. Of course after all that time I still won’t know what the heck Kosh is saying half the time, but you win some you lose some.

Review: Flash Gordon 1.10

“Conspiracy Theory”

Review: Flash Gordon 1.10 f110

I must start this review by repeating something I’ve made crystal clear by now. Flash Gordon has to take place on Mongo or in space at least. Not on Earth.

This episode is a classic case in point. The sequences on Mongo are engaging, and even intriguing in some cases. The sequences on Earth? 90210 with aliens. Pure garbage.

We start with the idea that there has been damage done to the fabric of interdimensional space. Rankol asks for help from Flash’s father, but he refuses to have anything to do with Rankol. Rankol decides to go with plan b, which is to open a rift and send a bounty hunter to bring Zarkov back to him.

Review: Flash Gordon 1.09

“Til Death”
Review: Flash Gordon 1.09 f109

“Til Death” really struggles. At it’s heart it really wants to go back to the sub-mediocre crap of the first part of the season although there is just enough to elevate it to some forward moving sub-mediocre crap. It may sound damning, but there is some good to the episode.

Not enough to save a series in danger unfortunately or even the episode.

“Powerless” takes a somewhat lackluster season and really hammered home a decent finale, gettting you set up for Season 3.

We open with basically a recap as Peter and Hiro set to square off. Peter tries to convince Hiro, but can’t, so when Hiro disappears and winds up behind Peter with his blade to his throat, Peter electrocutes the sword knocking Hiro unconcscious. It is a short but sweet battle, that works on a realistic level as well as a dramatic one.

While perhaps a step or two below the last couple of episodes “Truth and Consequences” certainly serves as a serviceable penultimate episode of the season, sending us hurtling into the finale.

There are plenty of slow and unspectacular sequences as Peter and Adam track down Victoria Pratt in Maine. Their goal is to find out where the virus is held, under the guise that they are going to destroy it although we know that Adam truly wants to release it. Revealing another member of the company is very anticlimactic. She’s a recluse and Adam sends Peter in saying she held a grudge against him.

Review: Heroes 2.09 heroes209-150x150

“Cautionary Tales” is a phenomenal joyride. It’s really the story of a growing desperation of families, masquerading as a slam bang fast paced thrill ride towards the end of the season.

We open with Bennet arguing with Claire. He wants to leave this instance but Claire stands up to him like she’s never stood up to anyone, to the point where Sandra has to intervene, allowing Claire to go to school to say goodbye to her friends and they will leave that night.
