Friday, July 23 marks the beginning of Comic-Con@Home, San Diego Comic-Con’s (SDCC) 5-day virtual event that brings pop culture’s largest convention into fans’ homes! When it was airing in prime-time, Supernatural had a huge presence at SDCC. Each year, from the moment they stepped foot near San Diego’s convention center, Jared, Jensen and Misha were paraded through high…
Yes! This is what I’ve been waiting for from Walker. If the show can keep up this level of writing—coherent plot, consistent characterization, and incisive social commentary, it might have a shot at the Emmys for next year. I really hope this means the writers have stepped up their game and that this isn’t just…
Episode 1.16 of Walker tackles the heavy topics of police corruption and brutality from the human view of a person of color trying to change the system from within. However, thematically, it also explores who the characters are, and how they can’t always be who they are inside. Sometimes this is a bad thing, but…
The Morning After “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s a common question asked of children and teens. In my family’s case, the various answers were firefighter, construction worker, police officer or veterinarian – all vocations the children saw personified around them. For me, from what I remember of when I…
For those of you having trouble keeping track (I know I am!) “Walker” is back this week with a new episode. Curious what this episode is all about? I have the preview right here. The episode, 1.16, is titled “Bad Apples.” The official synopsis from the CW explains: CAPTAIN JAMES TAKES ON A CROOKED COP…

Oh man, I don’t even know how to begin writing a review for “Houses of the Holy.” This is such an intricate, deeply emotional and technical episode trying to tackle in just one short hour the concept of faith and believing in something bigger than ourselves. This is a masterpiece with direction, set decoration, cinematography,…

“Four Stones in Hand” is a phrase meaning you’re on the offensive even before you’re sure you’re going to be attacked. This episode was all about how people solve problems. Even problems that aren’t their own.
The title of this week’s episode supposedly refers to anticipating being attacked—which can be prudent, or overly defensive, depending on the situation. Oddly, I couldn’t find any history on the saying, even when I searched Mexican dichos. So I don’t know whether it’s just obscure, untranslated, or was made up for the episode. Can I…
