Madoka Magica: Episode 5
May 22, 2013
Sayaka has decided to become a magical girl, much to Homura's disgust and Kyoko's annoyance, so today we come to the catfight! Except it involves swords and pole arms. Plus, Kyubey is now going out of his way to remind us he's a dick.
Madoka Magica: Episode 4
May 21, 2013
Our continued look at Puella Magic Madoka Magica. Madoka and Sayaka are broken up over what happened last time, so bunny-cat tries to leverage that because he's a dick. Also, everyone's favorite animated trope, the cult mass suicide!
VOY: Ashes to Ashes
May 18, 2013
Opinionated Voyager Episode Guide looks at a conundrum for Janeway: what to do when a crew member she got killed comes back? These boomerang minions will throw her off her stride. Plus, Harry is retconned to have yet another love interest and the continuing plight of Seven and the Borg children.
VOY: Innocence
May 16, 2013
Opinionated Voyager Episode Guide examines the other end of the bell curve of quality: Innocence. Tuvok must take care of three rambunctious alien children while their beekeeper parents preach the virtues of xenophobia. Combines being really stupid with being horribly dull.
Dr. Who: The Visitation
May 14, 2013
This month's opinionated look is from the Peter Davison years, and some of the episodes even make some time to let him do stuff. Join the Fifth Doctor and his army of companions as they bring a highwayman into their group to deal with an alien menace in the seventeenth century involving the plague and a robot that looks like the Grim Reaper, that old sci-fi trope.
TNG: First Contact
May 11, 2013
Opinionated Next Gen Episode Guide looks at the episode that has nothing to do with the movie of the same name. Riker is seriously injured and robbed while prepping for first contact with a new species, and the locals get all jittery over it. Then he gets blackmailed into sex with Lilith.
VOY: Lifesigns
May 9, 2013
Opinionated Voyager Episode Guide revisits part of the Michael Jonas story with Lifesigns, the one where the Doctor falls for a Vidiian lady who looks like she's melting. Also, Tom mixes it up with Chakotay.
X-Files: The Host
May 7, 2013
We return to the X-Files, although the ickiness of today's monster may make some wish we hadn't. A flatworm that's merged with a man terrorizes New Jersey until Mulder captures it... and the is left wondering what the hell to do with it? Maybe bunk it with Tooms.
TAS: Beyond the Farthest Star
May 4, 2013
A year later, we return to the Star Trek Animated Series with the very first episode. The Enterprise detects an alien signal, gets trapped, and then there's an evil energy alien; throw in taking over the ship and it's pretty much a microcosm of the show, only disappointing.
