Justyna: It’s very disappointing to be taught of the sequence cancellation simply after we’ve reached the subsequent chapter within the story.

In the ultimate second of the sequence Maura wakes up in a starship known as Prometheus, surrounded by the opposite Kerberos passengers, positioned beneath suspended animation. She additionally discovers that it is the yr 2099, not 1899 and her brother leaves her a message to welcome her to actuality. The finish. Just when the chances had been infinite and with so many questions left unanswered. It was an awesome and interesting cliffhanger to complete a season on, an ideal place to craft some theories, so if there’s any probability in any respect for the sequence to nonetheless be saved, I’d be pleased to proceed to assist it and watch wherever that is perhaps. Kudos to the forged & crew for all their work!
1923, “1923”, December twenty eighth, 2022, Actors: Sebastian Roché, Jennifer Ehle, Aminah Nieves, The Scene: Father Renaud punishes Sister Mary and Teonna
Laura B: Father Renaud does not simply hit Sister Mary, however Teonna will get one other spherical from him too. If it wasn’t exhausting sufficient to witness a most-beloved Elizabeth Bennett (Ehle) within the position of a school-teaching nun who beats up the arms of the free-spirited Teonna Rainwater (Aminah), the present discovered a solution to be much more horrific when at first Father Renaud seeks justice by doing the identical act to Mother Mary earlier than Teonna’s eyes, however then his style for justice rapidly turns into some relatively disturbing abuse when he beats Teonna once more! I’ve seen Sebastian Roché play some dangerous clients earlier than, however this position could but take the cake! Overall, 1923 had a reasonably superb opening episode!
GHOSTS, “The Christmas Spirit”, December twenty fifth, 2022, Actors: Rose McIver, Utkarsh Ambudkar, The Scene: Sam will get possessed by Thor
Chris C: Rose McIver will get to relive her finest iZombie life as a disgruntled Thor pretends to be Sam whereas speaking to Jay within the kitchen. Everything from McIver’s elevated pitch to her glances and obsession with meals is brilliantly executed and completely ridiculous, in a approach that solely a present like Ghosts could be.
HIS DARK MATERIALS, “The Enchanted Sleeper”, December fifth, 2022, Actors: Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, The Scene: Lyra tries to flee from Mrs. Coulter
MarÃa S: Lyra wakes up whereas Marisa is sleeping, so she tries to take this opportunity to flee from the place her mom is preserving her. But the chance fades away when Mrs. Coulter’s daemon leads her to the lady, so she sedates her once more, whereas Lyra tells Marisa that she is going to by no means be secure together with her. I feel it is actually unhappy to see that, after every little thing that has occurred, the one approach Mrs. Coulter can preserve her daughter subsequent to her is by preserving her unconscious.
SLOW HORSES, “Old Scores”, December thirtieth, 2022, Actors: Gary Oldman and extra
The Scene: The Slough House pays tribute to Min (and Dickie)
Folie-lex: Against Taverner’s directions, Lamb makes positive that Min (and Dickie) get a correct “Joe’s memorial” and the entire crew is there to pay their respects.

STARGIRL, “Frenemies – Chapter Thirteen: The Reckoning”, December seventh, 2022, Actors: Brec Bassinger, Luke Wilson, Joel McHale and extra, The Scenes: Sylvester is briefly introduced again to life by ISA & Courtney and Pat’s closing scene within the basement
Justyna: It’s a very good factor we’ve a candy and heartwarming second additionally highlighted within the article, as a result of my selection is something however that. In reality, it is one of the crucial surprising and merciless revelations on the present. It left me fully shocked and continues to be very memorable right now. In the opening scene of the sequence finale, we lastly get a solution to the query “what actually occurred to Sylvester Pemberton” and it is a lot worse than I’ve imagined. Years after his demise, Starman is introduced again to life by his killer and the ISA… however just for a second. He barely begins to be taught of their evil plan earlier than his mind is faraway from his physique, with him very a lot awake and conscious of the actual fact. It’s past darkish and is a robust reminder that “Stargirl” by no means stayed away from telling the painful tales along with the hopeful ones. The solely benefit of this second is that the viewers will get to know simply how a lot Sylvester has actually cared about his finest pal, when he asks about Pat along with his closing breath. It additionally makes it a lot worse that Ultra-Humanite has spent all this time slowly destroying Starman’s reminiscence and legacy. Luckily, as we be taught within the epilogue, we finish the sequence realizing that JSA has finally discovered his mind and saved Sylvester. I solely want we might have seen his true reunion with Pat. Regardless, I actually loved this present and can miss it dearly. Thank you and kudos to your complete forged & crew for all of the great work on the sequence.
Joshua: Courtney tries to inform her stepfather that he’s a hero and he or she defended him towards the Ultra-humanite and Pat tells her that he already is aware of. Courtney has a really troublesome relationship together with her organic father all through the sequence however she finally involves the belief that Pat (her stepdad) is the daddy she at all times wished. That’s a significant a part of her sequence character arc. This closing scene because of this marks an finish to Courtney’s arc because it reveals that Pat and Courtney have grown shut all through the present’s run. From Courtney being initially irritated with Pat and unaccepting of him as her stepdad within the present’s pilot episode to finally turning into nearer to Pat when their superhero adventures start. It’s a brief however crucial scene that reveals simply how particular and nicely deliberate this tv present was.
THE ROOKIE, “The Collar” & “Take Back”, December 4th, 2022, Actors: Melissa O’Neil, Eric Winter, The Scenes: Tim and Lucy brazenly admit their emotions & Tim asks Lucy out on a date
Folie-lex: Since Beth gave a shout-out to the Chenford closing scene in 5.09 (the nomination that I fully endorse BTW) this fully unties my arms with the intention to submit their closing scene of 5.08. As Chenford have spent the entire episode attempting to get by way of this powerful day all whereas making an attempt to regain a maintain on their present shaky dynamic, Tim watches Chris push his “let’s stay collectively” plan on a really annoyed and unsure Lucy. He confronts her about it on the finish of the episode and FINALLY, after roughly 3 years within the present’s timeline (and 5 seasons for the present’s viewers), these two put to phrases their rising emotions, admit it to one another and have an sincere dialog about doing one thing about it… and The Rookie followers REJOICE!

WILLOW, “Prisoners of Skellin”, December twenty eighth, 2022, Actors: Christian Slater, Ruby Cruz and extra, The Scene: Allagash buys the group time to get away from the trolls
Justyna: I’ve been actually having fun with this new fantasy sequence, I like its distinctive feeling, the journey and the characters. It jogs my memory of a Dungeons & Dragons marketing campaign that I’ve seen a couple of years in the past. And Christian Slater was an awesome match to deliver again the 80s to this contemporary tackle Willow. Allagash is kind of a personality, we have solely simply met him and but we have witnessed his many alternative sides all in the middle of a single episode. Similarly to Hubert, he is fairly a scene-stealer and instantly a memorable character to cross paths with. Allagash is courageous however silly, pleasant however not at all times loyal, he is a very good fighter and much from good songwriter. He does not hesitate to steal the Kymerian cuirass however chooses to return again, in search of redemption for his previous errors. He finally sacrifices himself to provide the others an opportunity to flee and fights towards a military of trolls, proper after leaving Kit with a message to guard Elora Danan. The closing shot of him falling, defeated by the trolls was one other unhappy reminder of all of the lives already misplaced on this battle. Kudos to forged & crew for his or her work on the sequence!
