Killjoys - The Hullen Have Eyes TV review

“The Hullen Have Eyes” picks up the thread of the ships discovered by the RAC agents in the season premiere and explains what D’Avin (Luke Macfarlane) was doing we he piloted one of the ships (but not why no one noticed he was gone) as he, Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen), Johnny (Aaron Ashmore), and “new nerd” Zeph (Kelly McCormack) take the ship on a trip to a Hullen planet and meet their blinded worshipers.

Dark Matter - Wish I Could Believe You TV review

After a chemical attack Six (Roger Cross) awakes aboard the Raza among his friends but can’t help shake the feeling something is wrong and begins to suspect that nothing is real. Eventually Six manages to break out of the simulation, or does he? “Wish I Could Believe You” works as a classic sci-fi story where nothing can be trusted, even offering a twist or two once Six thinks he’s made it out of the simulation.

Killjoys - A Skinner, Darkly television review

“A Skinner, Darkly” offers two separate stories before bringing Johnny (Aaron Ashmore) home. Before he can get there, however, Johnny will learn the (disappointing) truth about both his missing friend and Clara (Stephanie Leonidas) and the young woman (Tommie-Amber Pirie) wearing her weaponized arm when he uncovers the facts about a re-skinning operation which is using the Hullen ooze to allow others to take on the appearance of the doctor’s (Viktoria Modesta) victims. The audience isn’t the only one disappointed in the outcome, as Johnny (thankfully) heads home calling an end to his solo travels.

Doctor Who - The Empress of Mars TV review

NASA’s discovery of human writing on Mars leads The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and Bill (Pearl Mackie) to the red planet in 1881 where they find British soldiers helping an Ice Warrior mine the planet. The group’s effort leads to the discovery of a tomb that hides something far more dangerous than the riches the soldiers believe. The men’s curiosity and greed, and the fact that the TARDIS takes Nadole (Matt Lucas) and leaves without warning, push events forward faster than The Doctor can control, especially once the Empress of Mars (Adele Lynch) is awoken and provoked by a trigger-happy captain (Ferdinand Kingsley) with delusions of grandeur.
