Outpost 22 Season 11, Episode 21

Photo: Jace Downs/AMCWell, it’s taken a while, but The Walking Dead seems to be getting on track. In tonight’s episode, it choo-choo-choosesto gather its characters (well, most of them) for a single, coherent plotline that will lead directly to the final conflict with the Commonwealth. One could even say the show is running at full steam toward the end. Did I mention a train was in this episode?All that positivity aside, if you look at the individual scenes of “Outpost 22,” it’s kind of a mess. There’s a lot of dead

Star Trek Lower Decks Season 3 Finale Recap: Hit the Reset

Image: ParamountStar Trek: Lower Decks has had a rough third season, with rare moments of eking out character growth cast under the shadow of a regressive feeling of pulling main characters traveling paths they’d already navigated. Its finale, for better or worse, at resets the show in some ways, so we can forget most of this season actually happened.Picking up from last week’s re-hash of the Captain Freeman/Mariner conflict that drove the first season of the show, “The Stars at Night” largely navigates away from that

What Was Lost Season 11 Episode 20

Photo: Jace Downs/AMCGood news, Walking Dead fans—er, people who have been watching the show so long that they feel compelled to watch it until the end, regardless of how much pleasure they may or may not be getting fromit! Pamela Milton has finally declared war on all the people who have made her cushy life difficult since their arrival, and things may finally start to be picking up. A bit.“What’s Been Lost” is a fairly straightforward episode of TWD, but straightforward is a direction, which means the long-simmering

The New Deal Season 11 Episode 18

Photo: Jace Downs/AMCWhat the hell was that?I have been trying to process my feelings about tonight’s episode of The Walking Dead, which feels like it was written by three different writers who not only didn’t read each other’s scripts but also hated each other. So in terms of feelings about it, the best I can come up with is “perplexed.”“The New Deal” is another confusing mess like last week’s part-three premiere, but it’s also more boring—almost impressively so, given there are only six episodes left in the series. Most

Who’s Going to Die Before The Walking Dead Ends?

Image: Jace Downs/HBOEzekiel is a nicer, more likable, and less murderous character than Aaron, but he’s an absolute goner. Why? Well, we’ve spent a long time believing he was about to die already, thanks to his throat cancer. Now that it’s been cured, killing Ezekiel would not only be tragic, it would be ironically tragic, and give Carol some pathos as they had a longtime romance. It feels very TWD to kill a character with a new lease on life, so go ahead and say goodbye. Image: Jace Downs/HBOEzekiel is a nicer, more

Lockdown Season 11 Episode 17

This is not a still from the episode, but two stills, and it amuses me very much.Photo: Jace Downs/AMCThe third act of The Walking Dead’s 11th and final season has begun, but it doesn’t seem like anyone notified the show. Other than a quick montage of familiar faces at the start, with a bit of narration by Judith (Cailey Fleming), it’s an unceremonious continuation of the last episode. Which isn’t a bad thing! But it’s not exactly a good thing, either.When we last left our zany pals, Daryl, Maggie, Aaron, Gabriel, Negan,

Andrew Dominik: Joyce Carol Oates defends Blonde director’s screenplay as ‘remarkably feminist’

Joyce Carol Oates, who wrote the book on which Blonde is based, has given her verdict on the controversial adaptation.The film stars Ana De Armas as Marilyn Monroe and features many imagined scenes from the star’s life.Oates has since weighed in on the Netflix adaptation of her 1999 book, which presents a fictionalised take on the American icon’s life. The author – who was not involved in the movie’s production – deemed it a “brilliant work of cinematic art obviously not for everyone”.Since then, she has also defended…
