But Here's The Thing

Wynonna Earp Episode Breakdown: Old Souls (412)

“Sometimes, it is hard to find the right words.” Those are words every writer can relate to at one time in their life or another. I’ve never related to them or Doc Holliday more, though, than as I sat and thought about what to say about Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 12, “Old Souls,” the Syfy series finale of a show that has been so important in my life. Usually, I take a deep dive into the…

Wynonna Earp Episode Breakdown: Better Dig Two (411)

On the verge of losing everything she cares about, Wynonna is again asked to make some difficult choices on Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 11, “Better Dig Two,” only this time she does it differently. The episode picks up where the intense Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 10, “Life Made Her That Way,” left off. Doc and Jeremy prisoners of BBD with an injured Mercedes bleeding out on the floor and…

Wynonna Earp Episode Breakdown: Life Turned Her That Way (410)

Well, the love glitter and chicken kicking were lovely while they lasted but things got dark real fast on Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 10, “Life Turned Her That Way.” This episode was a lot, and as you might expect, I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about Waverly. But Waverly has her own weekly section in these breakdowns, so we’ll get to her in a minute. Let’s start where we’ve started for…

Wynonna Earp Episode Breakdown: Crazy (409)

It’s hard truths and cutthroat competition on Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 9, “Crazy.” “Crazy” is another fun episode. It’s more grounded than Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 7, “Love’s All Over,” and Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 8, “Hell Raising Good Time,” though, and I appreciate that. I enjoyed the hijinks and high-energy absurdity of the previous episodes. It’s always fun to see everyone…

Wynonna Earp Episode Breakdown: Hell Raisin’ Good Time (408)

It’s Halloween in Purgatory, so you know things are going to be extra. There is no reality where the team behind Wynonna Earp doesn’t go big for a Halloween episode. They certainly delivered the ridiculous antics that you would expect, a genuinely creepy monster of the week, multiple costume changes, and lots and lots of chaos. The episode’s funniest moments come from the Earp sisters losing…

#WynonnaEarp Review: Love's All Over (4×07)

Wynonna Earp is back! It’s a little bittersweet sitting down to watch Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 7, “Love’s All Over,” because, at least for now, it is not only the first of the last six episodes of Season 4, it’s the first of the last six episodes of the series all together. It’s hard not to be a little frustrated because, at one point in time, Wynonna Earp was renewed for five seasons and…

Wynonna Earp Review: Holy War Part 2 (4×06)

It’s hard to believe that the mid-season finale of Wynonna Earp‘s 4th season, Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 6, “Holy War Part 2,” is already here. The wait for the season felt like a lifetime but the last six episodes have gone by in the blink of an eye.

Despite being unplanned, what a serendipitously perfect place for a finale it is. It works so well in fact, it’s better than if we had just…

Wynonna Earp Review: Holy War Part 1 (4×05)

How’s everybody doing after that ending? You holding up ok? Processing your feelings? Wondering how to bend time to make a week shorter? Because, Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 5, “Holy War Part 1” is a lot. A lot of feelings, a lot of twists, a lot of WTF is happening, a lot of everything that makes Wynonna Earp, Wynonna Earp.

“Holy War Part 1” ends in dramatic fashion with Nicole laying…

Wynonna Earp Review: Afraid (4×04)

Things get real for our favorite posse of dipshits on Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 4, “Afraid,” especially for one Nicole Haught. “Afraid” is an intense episode to say the least. It taps into horror movie suspense and terror and introduces a whole new family of enemies with a deep-seated grudge against the Earps, and the Earp Heir in particular.

I’m fascinated by the development of the…

Wynonna Earp Review: Look At them Beans (4×03)

Wynonna Earp’s “Girl on Top” became its girl behind the camera as Melanie Scrofano made her directorial debut on Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 3, “Look At Them Beans.”

“Look At Them Bean” is glorious madness. It’s peak Earp insanity and it’s exactly what we needed after the intense emotions of the first two episodes. As high energy as the episode is it still gives viewers a chance to take…

Wynonna Earp Review: Friends in Low Places (4×02)

Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 2, “I’ve Got Friends in Low Places” is Wynonna Earp at its best, and there are few things better than Wynonna Earp at its best.

It has all the things we’ve come to expect from the series. The quips, the music, the crazy sci-fi twists, and the high stakes are there and firing on all cylinders.

It takes risks that surprise us and most importantly it leads with…

Wynonna Earp Review: On the Road Again (4×01)

It’s been a minute but Wynonna and the gang are back with Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 1. “On the Road Again” and man does it feel good.

When we last left Purgatory (TWO YEARS AGO!) we left in true Wynonna Earp fashion, on multiple WTF is happening cliff hangers.

Waverly had been pulled into the Garden; Doc had gone in to save her; the people of Purgatory were missing, including Nicole,…

Legends of Tomorrow Review: The One Where We’re Trapped On TV (5×14)

Legends of Tomorrow isn’t a afraid to be silly. It revels in the ridiculous and finds brilliance in high concept absurdity. But that doesn’t mean it’s a show with nothing to say. In fact, most of the time when the show is at it’s most irreverent it is also at it’s most heartfelt and poignant and that is exactly the case on Legends of TomorrowSeason 5 Episode 14, “The One Where We’re Trapped on…

Legends of Tomorrow Review: I Am Legends (5×13)

To say things don’t go as planned on Legends of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 13, “I Am Legends” is, to say the least, an understatement.

The Legends start the day so close to winning. They are immortal and about to return to the ship to use the loom and give everyone what they want when things start to fall apart.

By the end of the episode not only have they not won, but everyone is dead other than…

Vagrant Queen Review: Sunshine Express Yourself (1×07)

The team isn’t exactly having a sunshiny day when they hop aboard the Sunshine Express on Vagrant Queen Season 1 Episode 7, “Sunshine Express Yourself” but by the end, they are a family again and finally ready to take on Lazaro together.

After the Winnipeg goes missing at the end of Vagrant Queen Season 1 Episode 6, “Requiem For Republic” Elida, Issac, and Amae learn she’s been towed as part of a…
