You'd think I'd run out of things to say about this show at this point beyond saying how much I like Dale episodes (and this season has two good ones) but there's a couple things that stood out about this season. We got the show's 100th episode which was honestly a pretty standard episode (like I ha

I think it dips slightly when they bring in a second, lamer main villain but I really vibed with this one overall. Unlike Jessica Jones, I knew a little about Luke Cage going in; through him showing up in the odd Spider-Man comic I would read as a kid, but that was more 70s Heroes for Hire Luke Cage

I like how well this season gives the side characters plenty of spotlight episodes. The more episodes he gets, the more I love Dale. There's a couple nice Hank and Bobby relationship episodes, Bill gets some stuff being endearingly pathetic but man, I need to talk about Peggy. Going in, I knew she w

RIP Buckley and Chuck Mangione Holy shit, like there's a lot that happens this season from all the Mega Lo Mart aftermath, an episode that made me get emotional from a "What? Chicken Butt. Why? Chicken Thigh" joke, there's an episode where Bobby dates Sarah Michelle Geller but that ending was fucke

Hey Boomhauer, how would you sum up this season? Yeah man, mostly got the same dang things to say from the dang ol' first season man. Then whole thing ends with a dang ol' cliffhanger Who Shot Mr Burns turns out it was the baby Mega Lo Mart Boom man

Hot take but I agree with the gravekeeper, desecrating a corpse *is* so uncool. Also the effect where the guy crawls out of Scully's hand is really cool but at the same time, this is like the fifth episode in a row where something fucked up and scarring happened to Scully in a row. Leave her alone X

Ok, you guys were really underselling this show to me. To be fair, it's definitely a harder sell for a newcomer than Simpsons or Family Guy since the base premise makes it sound a lot more boring than it actually is, but having finally given it an actual shot. This show is actually really funny. T

It's still good but I do think a big issue this season has compared to the first is how it balances its plotlines. I liked the Punisher and Electra stuff individually but they felt very separate from each other. They didn't really bleed into each other as naturally as season 1's plotlines. I know th

The X-Files (1993)

S02 E14 · Die Hand Die Verletzt
The X Files has always dipped it's toes into supernatural stuff like ghosts but this shit was genuine horror writing. I usually hate cults in movies and TVs, which really speaks to how good this episode is. I like how even though we just dealt with a cult like two episodes ago, the 90s Satanic Panic
...

The focus on the Scully's psychological trauma is really good but this like the third or fourth time she's been kidnapped by a sex pervert. Leave her alone or at the very least kidnap Mulder in the next one so my girl can breath for five seconds

Not much to say on this one since it's one of those X Files episodes where the plot is like one of the less popular Stephen King books. As someone who enjoys spotting actors I know in random X Files episodes (mostly that one time Seth Green showed up) I can't believe I didn't notice the local sherif
...

Usually I like the episodes that reverse Mulder and Scully's roles but it's really fucked up and out of character that Mulder refuses to believe a rape victim until he thinks a ghost did it. Or how he gives that creepy old guy a pass for sexually harassing Scully. You're better than that Mulder Als
...

I feel where the Vegetarian Cult would have lost me, outside of being a bunch of white guys in turbans, is that without meat we wouldn't have gotten the surprisingly sexy rib eating scene. Also when the bit where they tie this random monster of the week episode into the greater mythology is really w
...

There's a reason people don't bring up Roid Rage Captain America or the weird incest twins so yes, a good chunk of what makes this season work is the A plot but man, that A plot is really good. Jessica Jones herself is a strong lead. She's flawed and standoffish but not a complete asshole and yeah,

Angel faces his greatest challenge yet: racial profiling. The plot itself is just alright as Angel kicks himself for fucking up once then he has a fun jousting scene. That said the demon karaoke bar is a fun addition and I hope it becomes Angel's equivalent of The Bronze. Also, I like the scene at t

Doctor Who (2024)

S02 E08 · The Reality War (2)
I don't know about this one dog. I wouldn't call it the worst Doctor Who season finale but Russell T. Davies is really overestimating how much of a shit I give about random babies Anyway that's as much as I can say without spoilers so 3, 2, 1 The Jodie scene is pretty good but did we really nee
...

I'll be real, that was kind of a lame twist. The actual premise is decent (even if the bad guy's plan is more or less the exact same as The Lie of the Land, with a little bit of Wedding of River Song thrown in) but all that build up to "Hey look, it's a classic villain New Who hasn't done yet" ... a

Doctor Who (2024)

S02 E06 · The Interstellar Song Contest
Bad Wolf and the Anne Droid vs. this episode and Rylan are my new flirting vs. harassment example. Also, what's redacted doing here for no reason? It feels like if they wanted it as an overarching mystery thing, they should have introduced them earlier. Seems very random, otherwise. Also the plot of

Doctor Who (2024)

S02 E05 · The Story & the Engine
This is definitely going to becoming one of Ncuti's cornerstone episodes cause while it doesn't come up as often as the camp angle, Ncuti is the first (technically second, but you know what I mean) black Doctor and I like that this is an episode that explicitly explores that idea. I also like the id

Obviously Finding Frances stands out as a highlight of the season, but Chili Man, the Uber Sleeper Cell and the Asexual Computer Repair Shop are also really good. The Smoke Detector episode goes so far off the beaten track that by the time it circles back to the thing about customs, my dad completel

God, I've missed you TV shows that are paced like TV shows. I caught up on pretty much all the other MCU stuff, so I circled back to do the Netflix shows and you guys weren't lying 10 years ago, this show fucks. Daredevil is one of Marvel's best guys in the comics so I shouldn't be that surprised bu

This season is pretty good, but you know what would make it better? A mother f'ing beer

I know we just got a really good sister episode to an RTD era episode, but who thought Love and Monsters 2 was a good idea?! Honestly part of wishes it was just Love and Monsters again cause if you wanted to make the Love and Monsters guy worse, yeah I'd say making him red pilled is the way to do it

The goal was to somehow come up with four separate reviews for Nathan for You, however because Nathan for You is a comedy series where the premise is the same with different executions and I'm binge watching it, it makes it difficult to highlight specific things from specific seasons. The solution:
