Alice’s Review of The Winchesters 1.02 “Teach Your Children Well” and 1.03 Preview

Week two is on the books and I have to say, I’m really enjoying this show.  Is it Supernatural 2.0?  No.  It’s a new story born from an original premise.  The rules here are looser, but there are still some callbacks to the original series just to remind us of where it came from.  That…

Walker Roundup Season 3 Episode 3 “Rubber Meets the Road”

Walker Roundup Season 3 Episode 3 “Rubber Meets the Road”

Everyone handles trauma differently. Walker’s episode “Rubber Meets the Road” takes the unusual and bold choice to explore that through its beloved characters as part of the CW’s #DareToLoveDefyHate initiative to explore issues surrounding mental health. It fit perfectly in with the Walker season after the traumatic events of the first two episodes. “Rubber Meets the…

Wrangling Walker Season 3 Episode 3 “Rubber Meets the Road”

Wrangling Walker Season 3 Episode 3 “Rubber Meets the Road”

Wow—another episode that knocked it out of the park! Season Three is off to a great start. I loved (almost) everything about this one, especially the clear focus on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the effects of unresolved trauma on family, and the message that ‘it’s okay not to be okay’ and to ask for help….

Walker: Independence Roundup Season 1 Episode 3 “Blood and Whiskey”

Walker: Independence Roundup Season 1 Episode 3 “Blood and Whiskey”

Consequences and the blessing of second chances were themes explored in this vastly entertaining, uplifting, and thought provoking episode. Many characters worked together in various ways that they hadn’t before to help those that needed it, while others faced the consequences of their actions. A character who helped others get their second chance is …

Walker: Independence Season 1 Episode 3 “Blood and Whiskey” Recap/Review

Walker: Independence Season 1 Episode 3 “Blood and Whiskey” Recap/Review

This week’s episode of Walker: Independence involved a lot of discussion of both “Blood and Whiskey”. We open up on Liam and Griffin’s bodies being put into caskets for burial. As the town of Independence starts to wake up, the residents of Hagan’s hotel must also start their day. For Kate, that involves waking up…

Big Sky Season 3 Episode 5 Recap: Let’s Speculate!

Big Sky Season 3 Episode 5 Recap: Let’s Speculate!

Big Sky 3.5 “Flesh and Blood” Scenes play from last week’s episode, ending with Sunny and her husband Buck leaving the cabin.  Walter opens a door into a back room where Paige, a young, dark-haired woman with a bandaged ankle, is sitting and staring ahead tensely.  “They’re gone,” he says softly, and last week’s show flows smoothly into the…

Walker Season 3 Episode 3 “Rubber Meets The Road” Recap/Review

Walker Season 3 Episode 3 “Rubber Meets The Road” Recap/Review

This week’s episode of Walker missed its chance to give us a “Rubber Meets The Road” moment but it was still pretty enjoyable. We start off with Cordell and Liam at Ranger HQ after they’ve been granted a medical checkup and a change of clothes. Liam sits alone in the atrium, reliving his time in…

Threads: The Winchesters Season 1 Episode 2 “Teach Your Children Well”

Threads: The Winchesters Season 1 Episode 2 “Teach Your Children Well”

The Morning After Well, that didn’t take long! After voicing my hesitations about Carlos’ over–the-top hippie vibe seen in The Winchesters previews, he showed us a more sensitive side in the series’ “Pilot”, giving me hope that there was depth beneath his bell bottom, beaded jewelry façade. This week, Carlos totally stole the show.  If…

Walker: Independence Roundup Season 1 Episode 2 “Home to a Stranger”

Walker: Independence Roundup Season 1 Episode 2 “Home to a Stranger”

Another incredible hour with the residents of Independence. Like the show they follow (Walker), the Walker: Independence characters also deal with the value of trust. Who does one trust? Why? In a town where no one is who they seem, it’s hard to know who to believe in, especially for newcomer …

Walker Roundup Season 3 Episode 2 “Sittin’ on a Rainbow”

Walker Roundup Season 3 Episode 2 “Sittin’ on a Rainbow”

“Sittin on a Rainbow” is another amazing episode, proving that Walker is really stepping it up with season three. There is something for everyone – action, drama, comedy, and a face from the past that had the audience screaming in joy. Heavy topics are broached, such as how corrupt society is, and the best way…

Wrangling Walker: Season 3 Episode 2 “Sittin’ On a Rainbow”

Wrangling Walker: Season 3 Episode 2 “Sittin’ On a Rainbow”

Walker‘s second episode of its third season’s made a strong follow-up to the explosive season opener. Overall, I liked it and thought it kept up the tension and pacing with some nice Supernatural call-backs. Once again, I’m going to skip the recap and share what I liked, with the few questionable details that made me…
