DEATH AT NIGHT: The third season of Big Sky continues with its second episode, “The Woods Are Lovely, Dark, and Deep.” The show opens with a direct continuation of the final scene of last week’s episode as Reba McEntire’s character, Sunny Barnes, is speaking to her son in the woods at night. “My sweet boy,…
The premier of season 3 of Big Sky opens with a landscape shot of beautiful Montana while Creedence Clearwater Revival plays: “Someone told me long ago / There’s a calm before the storm / I know, it’s been comin’ for some time.” A young man in a plaid shirt and backpack hikes through the gorgeous…
Let me know if you’ve heard of this one before. Everything comes together and nothing goes according to plan. Did you expect anything less from this show? “The Instant White-Hot Wild” offers a satisfying conclusion while setting up some good possibilities for season four, but also had some surprises that some may have seen…
I suppose that after the furious events of “Herogasm”, it was time to take a small breather. Not to say that “Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed” was a light episode. A crap ton happened. It was just lighter than the freaking intense “Herogasm.” It’s still one of the more intense episodes…
“There’s a lot to unpack there.” No freaking kidding Hughie. Wow, where do I even start with Herogasm? I can’t believe they crammed so much into one hour, from both a production and story standpoint. There’s so much to absorb. This was the culmination of the events in the previous five episodes this season and…
Aye, yai, yai. Some things just don’t change over time, do they? Everything is starting to implode on both sides, and it’s not pretty. As with the previous episode, there’s a lot to unpack in “The Last Time to Look on This World of Lies.” It’s funny though because the most important line…
From Russia with Love. Nah, I’m kidding. It was Canada all dressed up. “Glorious Five Year Plan” is certainly not as bleak as the previous episode, but it’s not a bed of roses either. If anything, it’s quintessential The Boys. Homelander is lucid enough in his madness to use fear and intimidation to take…
The big lesson from “Barbary Coast” is absolute power corrupts…absolutely. Just forget what happened in the season premiere, because any hint of progress and happiness has been obliterated like one of those wet balloon body explosions that are typical in this show. Homelander is unleashed. Butcher is unleashed. Hughie is more disillusioned than ever and…
What do you know. Homelander can do whatever the f*** he wants. “The Only Man in the Sky” is a truly fitting title. From my understanding, it’s a call back to a line from the comics. Here, it’s a true reflection of the God complex simmering within Homelander, the one being held back by Stan…
The Walker season 2 finale, “Something’s Missing,” lives up to its title. Each character strives to find, or move past, what is lacking in their lives. It is an intense hour filled with painful revelations and self discovery. The ending cliffhanger further underscores the theme by making the “Something’s Missing,” be … Cordell
“Something’s Missing” provided a solid finale for Walker‘s season 2 and lots of drama and questions for the start of season 3. It tied up some loose ends, created others, and promises that the next season will start off with a bang. Once again, I’m going to skip the recap and talk about what I…
The Morning After Would someone please buy both the Walkers and the Davidsons battery powered, modern flashlights! They come in many different sizes and styles. For families so attached to the past, may I suggest a lantern light? That’s twice now that their kerosene lanterns burned down the barn and killed or nearly killed a…
