Shadow’s Waiting Episode 2 of The Wheel Of Time begins with a look at the Children of Light. Led by the enigmatic Eamon Valda, this man burns an Aes Sedai and watches in satisfaction as she burns to death. He’s been collecting rings from these sisters too, and it seems it’s only a matter of time before he closes in on Moiraine. Meanwhile, Moiraine, Lan and the kids hurry to the nearby town, Taren Ferry....
Turn Your Back Episode 5 of The Witcher Season 2 begins with Jaskier continuing to sing his “Burn, Witcher Burn” song. The guard was right last episode – it’s not as catchy as Toss A Coin To Your Witcher! However, this singing also means that he’s late in hopping aboard the ship out of port, with Yennefer already there. The thing is, Jaskier is confronted by a magic-wielding prisoner, Rience, who has struck a deal with Lydia....
Voleth Meir Episode 7 of The Witcher Season 2 begins with Geralt intent on finding where Yen has taken Ciri. Nenneke warns that this fight is beyond him but does agree to help, opening a portal for him to collect an old friend. Specifically, that of Jaskier. After another hilarious song (god, this guy is such a great bit of comedic relief), Geralt apologizes to Jaskier for his words in the past and enlists his help to try and find Yennefer and Ciri....
Episode Guide My Struggle Founder’s Mutation Mulder & Scully Meet The Were-monster Home Again Babylon My Struggle II After a fourteen year absence, it was never going to be easy to bring back the characters and the mythology that worked so well when the show was at its peak in the 90s. The tenth season of The X-Files is a bit of a convoluted mess, with another big conspiracy that encompasses the entire world and a desire to try and cram as much as possible into 6 episodes....
Episode Guide The Blessing Way Paperclip D.P.O Clyde Bruckman’s Final Reprose The List 2Shy The Walk Oubliette Nisei 731 Revelations War Of The Coprophages Syzygy Grotesque Piper Maru Apocrypha Pusher Teso Dos Bichos Hell Money Jose Chung’s ‘From Outta Space’ Avatar Quagmire Wetwired Talitha Cumi With more cohesiveness given to the show’s mythology and an engrossing storyline around finding alien “black goo”, the third season of The X-Files is arguably the strongest since the show came on air....
A Wedding & A Funeral Episode 3 of This is Going to Hurt begins with Adam showing up late to the theatre. The actual theatre though, not the operating one! Things are awkward, especially when he’s torn between his mum and Harry. She’s not exactly happy about his tardiness and Harry isn’t happy about Adam suddenly declaring they’re in a relationship, believing there should be a better time to break the news....
Human Wrecking Ball With the fall finale right around the corner, This Is Us offers up teasing glimpses of what’s to come for the future in an episode centred around Rebecca and Kevin in two separate storylines that interweave around the other subplots bubbling up this week. All the pieces are laid out here too and quite what this means for the Pearson family remains to be seen. We begin with three different time periods for Rebecca putting on a duvet cover....
Episode Guide At a Confessional Mutsu-Kabe Hill Millionaire Village The Run Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan is a stylish, well written and surprisingly funny four-part anime series. This quartet of one-shot stories are armed with a wickedly unique aesthetic, a splash of strong colour and impressive writing throughout. Adapted from the Diamond is Unbreakable spin-off manga, Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan takes place in the JoJo universe but those unfamiliar with the origins of this can easily jump in and enjoy this series....
A Surprisingly Fun Video Game Adaptation It’s fair to say that video game adapted movies have had a pretty poor history. From the hilariously bad Mortal Kombat: Annihilation to more recent entries like Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed, video game adapted movies have almost always failed to pay homage to the source material. It’s a surprise then that Tomb Raider is one of the best video game adaptations to come out and a pretty enjoyable action film too....
A magical world awaits Tomorrowland starts brightly but slowly fizzles out for a second half that disappointingly changes the tone of the film. When this sci-fi thriller isn’t taking itself too seriously, its a fun ride but as the third act rolls round, Tomorrowland ditches its fun for a serious message about globalisation that juxtaposes horribly with the rest of the film. The story revolves around teenager Casey (Brittany Robertson) who finds a ring that transports her to a strange futuristic place called Tomorrowland....
De Capa Y Espada Episode 6 of Top Boy Season 2 begins with Jaq grabbing a girl called Keziah and bundling her in the back of her car. She’s involved in Ats murder, given she’s the girl from the surveillance footage. She claims not to be involved, as Jaq promises to kill the guy who killed Ats. In exchange, she’ll be able to leave. So naturally, she spills the beans. The guy’s name is Dexter and he’s currently held out in a place called Bow....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYz2wyBy3kc A Wonderful Story About Toys Way back in 1995, Pixar Animation were a relatively unknown extension of Disney Animation, lamented by studio heads as they struggled desperately to bring about a new wave of computer generated animation, away from the conventional hand drawn animations Disney have always been famous for. Toy Story is the film that started this revolution in film-making, weaving a surprisingly accessible story for both adults and children with a host of memorable characters and a strong thematic core about acceptance and friendship all wrapped up in an aesthetically impressive CGI venture....
Episode Guide How the F**k Did This Happen? Kerosene. Match. Boom! You Can’t Stop a Riot in the 90s At nearly every job I’ve been at (and I’m sure others can relate), there are always those in manager or director roles that just don’t have a clue. Whether it be over-charging for products, giving promotions to brown-nosers over hard workers, or even something as simple as valuing profit over people, this divide between “us VS them” feels like it’s only been exacerbated since lockdown and COVID....
The Rescue Mission I love post-apocalyptic zombie films. There’s something endlessly fascinating with watching man’s descent into chaos while humanity’s obsession with the flesh-eating undead sees no signs of stopping anytime soon. From The Stand and 28 Days Later through to Cargo and Shaun Of The Dead, every possible angle of this genre has been showcased, remixed, polished and perfected over the years making it incredibly difficult for any newcomer to stand out....
Chapter 4 Episode 4 of Tribes of Europa begins with Moses questioning Elja about the cube. However, Amena interrupts them, showing the fusion core inside which is completely fried. This means they need to visit Bracker, a treasure-collector from the South who may have what they need to replace it. Elja begins to despair though, believing he’s left his tribe behind for nothing. After agreeing to this plan, the group are unfortunately blindsided by Crows arriving at Amena’s house....

The Fate Of The Realm Episode 5 of Under The Queen’s Umbrella begins with news of the Crown Prince’s health spreading through the palace. The King is shocked when he finds out he’s suffering from Hyeolheogwol. He demands the Prince be examined again but the physicians point out that further examination could cause him more harm, given it’s in the advanced stages. With a history of hemophobia and the words of Master Toji still echoing in her mind, Hwa-Ryeong tells them not to do this....

Help Me Episode 6 of Undone Season 2 starts with Alma in a precarious situation. She’s in the psych ward, desperate to get out but failing to use the fog to escape her predicament. Although she comes close to seeing Becca at one point, her sister’s echoing voice simply says “Good luck,” as the portal in her room disappears.
