The Morning After I love surprise twists at the end of an episode! Walker’s “Search and Rescue” took the long, winding trail to tell the story of how the Davidsons and Walkers looked past their differences and worked together to save their lost teens, but it was the side trails that led to the most…
After the whirlwind that was this episode, my sanity could use a “Search and Rescue” mission. Similar to “Champagne Problems”, this episode had a central plot that brought together a lot of smaller ones for a big finish. In the spirit of that, I’m going to format my review the same way and give a…
It’s been a year, and man have things changed. I finally got a chance after a busy weekend to watch the season three premiere of The Boys, titled “Payback,” and it wasn’t what I expected. That’s actually good. There were some real fascinating character stories underneath a couple of shocking scenes of intense gore. Over…
Only a few episodes left until the season finale. What’s going to happen this week? Let’s see if this preview provides any clues. This week’s episode, 2.18, is titled “Search and Rescue.” Here is the official CW synopsis: AUSTIN NICHOLS DIRECTS – Cordell (Jared Padalecki) and James (Coby Bell) make a shocking discovery. Meanwhile, Stella…
They covered a lot of ground in this episode, with the emphasis on interpersonal issues (although we did get one very enjoyable fight scene). The title ‘Torn’ is certainly apt! I think of this kind of episode as a ‘repositioning’ segment, where the writers move the characters around like pieces on a game board to…
“Torn” was all about the triangles in life and how they tear at people. As the promo said “Love Triangles Break Hearts.” But as it often does, “Walker” subverts the classic love triangle trope, while also using a common example as a foil. Aaron Carew crafted a brilliant episode that dives deep into the motivations…
I think it’s safe to say I feel a little “Torn” over this episode. This episode was full of triangles, some that I didn’t fully expect. I did like most of the episode and I thought all the relationships displayed were handled pretty well, though there were some moments that tugged at my heartstrings in…
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but Amazon Prime has been doing one huge promotional blitz for season three of The Boys. Today, the streaming service drops the first three episodes of the season and then will run one each week for the remaining five episodes. Not sure what to expect? When Eric Kripke is your…
Ah, Kripke, you magnificent bastard. Okay, it’s a group effort, so the credit falls on just about everyone involved with this show, but the top guy usually gets all the criticism, so I’ll show him some credit here too. I honestly didn’t know what to expect from “The Boys” season two. After all, season…
