The Reviewinator: Star Trek – Deep Space Nine (1993-1999)
Deep Space Nine. Well, I certainly feel like I’m in deep something, because this is where binge-watching all things Star Trek becomes more work than fun. Beginning during The Next Generation’s 6th Season, Deep Space Nine is on a parallel … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Star Trek – The Next Generation (1987-1994)
Set nearly 100 years after The Original Series is The Next Generation, which has polarized “Trekkies” ever since it first aired. With an all-new cast set in an all-new time on an all-new Enterprise, 20-year veterans had to decide whether to accept the new recruits or … Continue reading

The Reviewinator: Star Trek – The Animated Series (1973-1974)
I’ll admit: I didn’t even know this Animated Series existed until I decided to delve into all things Star Trek. And after I found out about it, I strongly considered skipping it, if for no other reason than real “Trekkies” don’t … Continue reading

Review: Westworld (Season 1, Episode 1)
Is it just me or does the black-and-white credits remind you of the cloak-and-dagger, noirish opening to True Detective? Jonathan Nolan definitely shares his brother’s knack for arresting imagery such as the cold open with a nude Rachel Evan Wood … Continue reading
The Reviewinator: Fear the Walking Dead (Season 2) (2016)
While everyone is still hyped from the Season 6 cliffhanger on the real Walking Dead show, Fear seems to have been all but forgotten. With such an underwhelming first season, I had to repeatedly remind myself that this show was … Continue reading

Review: Ash Vs. Evil Dead (Season 2, Episode 1)
Ash Vs. Evil Dead was a fan-friendly success last season by transcending expectations of the erstwhile hero with grey temples. I do wish had more time to bask in the hedonistic excess of Ash in Jacksonville. He winks one sexual … Continue reading
Review: Luke Cage (Season 1, Episodes 2-4)
Episode 2 Daredevil skulks Hell’s Kitchen for criminals but he is hardly confronted by thugs and gutter snipes which distinguishes Luke Cage from his New York City counterparts. Like Will Graham pre-visualized the crime scene from the sociopath’s perspective, Paul … Continue reading
Review: Luke Cage (Season 1, Episode 1)
Let me start off by saying the quasi-blaxploitation theme of Luke Cage is glorious (Isaac Hayes is sorely missed for the baritone vocals) and the landmarks of the Apollo Theater and Malcolm X Boulevard add to the African-American heritage of … Continue reading
Review: Crisis in Six Scenes
The Jimi Hendrix-esque guitar licks over the patented Woody Allen font is a bit jarring change from his typical jazz music. Then we cut to protest footage about the 60’s for context in the subsequent scenes. It also explains why … Continue reading
