  • Revisiting Game of Thrones Season 7 Part 1

    Spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 7 incoming. We’re only a month away from the final six episodes of Game of Thrones. That’s a statement that gets me very excited and yet also remarkably sad. It’s all coming to an end but, before it does, I’ve been revisiting the...
  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    Following on from my earlier article, The Dark Side of Alchemy, I’m now in a position to share some thoughts on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood as a whole. I wrote the earlier article after I had finished “Part 1” which is the first 13 episodes; this time I’m writing having...

  • The Dark Side of Alchemy

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood caught me out big time. I really wasn’t prepared for what would happen in Episode 4. I don’t think I could have been less prepared for it if I’m honest. “What happened?” you ask; I’m not going to tell you as that would spoil it. What...
  • What Star Trek: Discovery Got Right and Wrong in its Season 2 Premiere

    This morning I woke up and watched a brand-new episode of Star Trek for the first time in my life. As soon as I was awake enough to awkwardly lean over the end of my bed and turn on my TV, the premiere of Star Trek: Discovery’s second season...
