Freak! Over-achiever! Desperate loser! Clingy, pushy and bossy! Pearl, Steven Universe’s perfectionist and guardian to the show’s titular hero, is often put down by fans. Fans who, at best, fail to recognise the true merit of the character and, at worst, don’t care! To be fair, it’s not hard to write Pearl off. In the first episode […]

The seventh season of The Walking Dead has only just begun, but it’s off to a very good start so far. The first episode answered the questions we had after the infamous cliffhanger and we had the chance to grieve for a week before catching up with Morgan and Carol in episode two. It was […]

Hype for the Nintendo Switch has finally died down a little recently, and while I am still pretty skeptical of the device, I can at least agree that the thing will definitely do well at release. I can sum up the reason for this success in four words, new Zelda at release. While the Wii’s release wasn’t […]

The eighth episode in the season brought back some of that much wanted American Horror Story otherworldly scare.

The ridiculous mobile recording was pulled back a bit, yet in some cases the quality was even more contrastable to the professional […]

The Expanse is a SyFy-helmed show based on a series of books by James S. A. Corey, though it was recently bought by Netflix (can I get a hallelujah?). The first novel in the series, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012 which is a good indication right off the bat as […]

I have always considered myself a fan of anime. While I say this, I find it very hard to get emotionally connected to a lot of what the medium has to offer. The routine slog through a seasonal anime chart can leave you burnt out. Desperate for anything that feels new and original. Sure every season you can find […]

This episode, while full of scares, shocks and gore, was a little disappointing on the ghost aspect. The episode mainly focused on deaths by real people and once again The Colony felt underused. That said, Kathy Bates was not as she spent more time playing the mad actress Angela Mary Winstead. The meta feel of […]
