For the next few months, I will be trying a different format for my “Threads” review series. This evolution has been brought about by real life challenges and changes in schedules for both me and Alice. Going forward, I will be posting on Thursday with her review moving to Friday. I am calling this experimental…
In this pretty fantastic episode penned by Andrew Dabb, we open with a musical montage covering the first half of the season.
Welcome to “Memorable Moments”. Each week I will visually recap what I felt were the best and most memorable moments from that episode. The list may vary from week to week, depending on what has transpired in that particular episode.
