WandaVision Episode 9 Review: The Series Finale

New DVD release, , , ,
This WandaVision review contains spoilers. WandaVision Episode 9 How do you end a series like WandaVision? Well, if the ninth and final episode of the Disney+ show is anything to go by, then the answer is… busily. Beginning with an intense and almost jarringly fast-paced action sequence that spanned most of the first two acts of the 42 minute run time, “The Series Finale” is fully aware of all it had to answer. And for the most part, Matt Shakman and Jac Schaeffer do a solid job of tying up the many loose ends. While the pacing might be a…

Marvel Fans React to the WandaVision Finale

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains spoilers for the WandaVision finale. Please stand by. In the season finale of Marvel’s Wanda Maximoff and Vision spinoff WandaVision, there were inevitable showdowns between two very badass witches and two surprisingly conversational synthezoids. Unanswered questions and tantalising post credits scenes lay ahead. But there was also a little disappointment in store for those fans who hoped there would be a major cameo appearance in the finale, or a possible entry point for the X-Men in the MCU. We began the final episode right where we left off in the penultimate one, as Wanda and Agatha discovered…

WandaVision Finale: Should Marvel Fans Lower Their Expectations?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for WandaVision You could say it all started with one Paul William Bettany. Last month, the star of Marvel’s WandaVision got fans’ attention when he started teasing a new character arriving in the MCU spinoff series that had miraculously survived online leaks, which in turn meant that Evan Peters’ “Pietro” Maximoff definitely wasn’t who he was referring to. “There is one character that has not been revealed,” Bettany told Esquire. “And it is very exciting. It is an actor I’ve longed to work with all of my life. We have some amazing scenes together and I…

Behind Her Eyes: the Dubious Messages Behind its Finale Twist

New DVD release, , , ,
Warning: contains major spoilers for the Behind Her Eyes finale Behind Her Eyes is the perfect duplicity-hinting title for a series that conceals what it is until the very end. The name works both for the psychological adultery thriller that this Netflix adaptation presents as, and for the supernatural story it’s really telling.  Because what’s behind her eyes, in this instance, is him. She is beautiful, wealthy Scottish heiress Adele, played by The Luminaries’ Eve Hewson. He is working class, Glaswegian heroin addict Rob, played by Game of Thrones’ Robert Aramayo. They meet as teenagers at rehab after the death of Adele’s parents, and realise that they…

DuckTales Return Date and Series Finale Details Revealed

New DVD release, , , , ,
If there was anytime I felt more conflicted about writing “woo-oo” in my life, it would be today. We already knew DuckTales was coming to a close but we didn’t know how it would end. Would we get one new episode a week for weeks? Would they air them all in a row? Well, Disney just released the info and it wasn’t quite what we expected. DuckTales will return on February 22, 2021 and will air one new episode a week until March 15, 2021. On that date we’ll be getting a 90-minute series finale! That’s less than a month of…

What Happened to the Barkeith in The Expanse Season 5 Finale?

New DVD release, , , ,
This The Expanse article includes MAJOR spoilers for the ending of Season 5, Episode 10. Much like Marco Inaros, The Expanse Season 5 finale writers used a bit of misdirect to distract from the fact that, while (most of) the crew of the Rocinante were finally reunited and Acting Secretary General Chrisjen Avasarala was gathering her team in preparation for war, the culmination of Marco’s deal with a rogue Martian fleet was coming to a head. In the final moments of “Nemesis Games,” the shape of the alliance between Inaros and the rogue Martian fleet (including the Barkeith) comes into…

Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 Finale Easter Eggs & References

New DVD release, , , ,
This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for the Season 3 finale. Would you believe that the finale of Star Trek: Discovery Season references everything from Star Trek: Voyager, to the TOS episode “The Doomsday Machine?” Throughout the entire thrilling DISCO season, 3 finale — “That Hope Is You Part 2,” the series managed to deliver yet another love-letter to Trekkies everywhere. This episode may not have been as overtly nostalgic as “Unification III,” or any given episode of Lower Decks, but it still managed to deliver on a slew of Easter eggs and callbacks; some obvious, and some obscure.…

Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 Finale Ending Explained

New DVD release, , , ,
This Star Trek: Discovery review contains major spoilers for the end of Season 3. What a ride! The third season of Star Trek: Discovery was easily its most consistent and, dare I say, best yet? From the get-go, the series’ decision to vault its characters into the far future for its third outing proved itself a smart one, as the crew of the Discovery set about exploring this strange, new reality. The hour-long finale was a solid ending for the season, answering some questions we’ve had since the season premiere. In that way, “That Hope is You, Part 2” really…

The Mandalorian: Who Plays Luke Skywalker in the Season 2 Finale?

New DVD release, , , ,
This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. Savvy, Force-sensitive bunch that they are, many Star Wars fans felt the impending arrival of a certain green lightsaber-wielding Jedi in The Mandalorian’s near future. After all, Grogu summoned a Jedi in “The Tragedy” and it’s not like there’s an abundant supply of Force-users out there in the show’s continuity. Naturally, those same fans had some strong opinions on who should portray the post-Return of the Jedi, pre-Force Awakens version of Luke Skywalker. Sebastian Stan, The Winter Soldier himself, was the most popular fancast. Not only does he have a certain moisture…

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains MAJOR spoilers for The Mandalorian Season 2 finale The Mandalorian finished up its second season on Disney+ this week – leaving Star Wars fans beside themselves with a mixture of glee and sadness – as Ant-Man director Peyton Reed returned to helm a storming eighth episode, and WHAT a finale it was. Din Djarin’s relentless quest to retrieve Grogu from imprisonment aboard Moff Gideon’s light cruiser reached its climactic moments in the finale, with Din (Pedro Pascal) not only having to contend with Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) and his powerful Darksaber, but battling an escaped Dark Trooper before…

How The Mandalorian Season 2 Finale Could Give Us the Ezra Bridger Moment We’ve Been Waiting For

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. The Mandalorian season 2 finale is poised to be the series’ biggest episode yet. Mando and the cruel Moff Gideon are set up for a rematch, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever before, with little Grogu’s life hanging in the balance. Fortunately, Mando won’t be taking on the Empire on his own. He’ll have help from Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, and Cara Dune, but is that enough? Gideon not only commands a brigade of stormtroopers but also has the fearsome dark troopers at his disposal as well as the…

New DVD release, , , , , ,
HBO’s glossy six part drama The Undoing has come to a close providing answers to some burning questions, not least of which is who killed Elena Alves (Matilda De Angelis).

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Season Finale Review

New DVD release, , , , ,
This The Walking Dead: World Beyond review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead: World Beyond Episodes 9 and 10 Huck (Annet Mahendru) is a woman with a mission, and it’s not to make sure everyone gets to the Civic Republic Militia research facility safely. From the very opening of The Walking Dead: World Beyond‘s ninth episode, “The Deepest Cut,” as Huck stares into the darkness while everyone sleeps, it’s clear she’s facing a choice between the people that she has come to know and love as friends in Felix and the kids, and her loyalty to the CRM, her mother, and…

Fargo Season 4 Finale Post-Credits Scene Explained

New DVD release, , , , ,
This Fargo article contains spoilers for the season 4 finale. Fargo season 4’s finale, “Storia Americana,” wraps up an uneven season of FX’s crime series about as effectively as one could have hoped. The hour is thematically consistent, if a little short (which may have had something to do with the final two episodes’ abbreviated COVID-19 production schedule). In true Fargo fashion, the season ends with plenty of our main characters dead. Josto Fadda (Jason Schwartzman) is killed for not properly realizing the power of his own family (and for a simple misunderstanding with killer nurse Oraetta Mayflower), while Loy…

The Walking Dead: World Beyond Season Finale Ending Explained

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This The Walking Dead: World Beyond feature contains spoilers. With The Walking Dead: World Beyond only getting a two season run, there’s a certain expected economy of storytelling. There’s not an opportunity to drag anything out past a few episodes, so big reveals tend to come faster and character arcs tend to bend more quickly than they might on other programs with more hours to fill and more opportunity for long-form stories. As such, there’s a lot of stuff that changed during the two-episode finale event to drill down into. Here is what happens in the conclusion of The Walking…

Supernatural Series Finale: Why Dean’s Fate Works

New DVD release, , ,
This Supernatural article contains MAJOR spoilers for the series finale. A lot of fans were hoping that Supernatural would end the way its penultimate episode ended, with Sam and Dean literally driving off into the sunset in the Impala, to new and unknown adventures. When it comes time to re-watch the series (a hefty undertaking, considering there are 15 seasons of it!) no doubt many will choose to stop there; the episode even has a series finale-style montage of moments from across its 15 years to go with that classic conclusion. But Supernatural didn’t end with “Inherit The Earth.” In…

Supernatural Series Finale: How to Wrap Up 15 Years of Story

New DVD release, , , ,
This Supernatural article contains MAJOR spoilers for the series finale. Obviously. It’s hard to believe it, but Supernatural has come to an end. We had our theories about what might happen in the 15-season show’s ender, but Supernatural kept us guessing right until its final moments. “Carry On” is essentially a forty-minute epilogue to tie up loose ends after the definitive battle against God. It serves its purpose of bringing the series full circle to its humble beginnings: Sam gets his normal life. Dean goes out as a hunter. They reunite to keep riding that road together… in heaven. If you…

Supernatural: The Internet’s Best Reactions to the Series Finale

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains MAJOR spoilers for the Supernatural series finale. Welp, there you have it. After 15 seasons of road trips and high-stakes battles, Supernatural has come to an end—and people have feelings (as they should). Interestingly, the penultimate episode of Supernatural wrapped up the major story arc of the season, leaving the final episode to get a bit more, um, creative with its ending. What did that look like? Pie festivals and vampires, of course. “Carry On” sees Sam and Dean settling back into “normal” life following their definitive battle with God. The stakes are a lot lower, but…

Where Does Supernatural’s Series Finale Go After That Penultimate Episode?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Supernatural article contains spoilers for Season 15, Episode 19. Supernatural’s penultimate episode left a lot of fans scratching their heads in confusion. The episode saw Chuck defeated and left helpless while young Jack absorbed his powers and basically became God. There were echoes of the original planned series finale, the fifth season’s last episode “Swan Song,” as Lucifer and Michael fought each other, and both Sam and Dean took a bloody beating from a higher power. After Jack completed a particularly impressive ascension to a higher plane of existence, he left Sam and Dean in their bunker, drinking to…
