By Matthew Vincenty | Apr 13, 2021 | Television

Season two finale time folks. Let us quickly talk about the season at a high level. When the season started it seemed like they were playing down some of the more over-the-top elements of season one.

Five Thoughts on Wynonna Earp‘s “Old Souls”

By Corrina Lawson | Apr 12, 2021 | Television

Wynonna Earp and Doc Holliday ride off into the sunset in “Old Souls,” the 10th and final episode of season 4 (perhaps the last season) of the incredible, incorrigible, and irrepressible show that is Wynonna Earp.

Five Thoughts on Supergirl‘s “A Few Good Women”

By Elias Rosner | Apr 7, 2021 | Television

While I’m glad we didn’t get an entire episode dedicated to watching a courtroom drama that would have left me livid and stressed the entire hour, I also am disappointed Supergirl didn’t decide to take a risk and structure this episode like a 1-plot stage play.

Five Thoughts on Wynonna Earp‘s “Better Dig Two”

By Corrina Lawson | Apr 5, 2021 | Television

“Better Dig Two” is possibly the next to last episode of Wynonna Earp (at least for now: #bringwynonnahome), and I approached watching it with trepidation, as next-to-last episodes of television shows generally are when things become very, very dark. But the show pulled a swerve, resolving the mess that I expected would take two full […]
