Young Sheldon Season 1 Episode 20 Review – ‘A Dog, A Squirrel, and a Fish Named Fish’

by

Martin Carr reviews the twentieth episode of Young Sheldon… Besides the physics lesson and inclusion of Sheldon Cooper phobias, episode twenty is all about adults, young adolescents and religious intervention.

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 17 Review – ‘Trinity’

by

Martin Carr reviews the seventeenth episode of Supergirl season 3… Beyond the dictionary definitions of Trinity which touch on both religious symbolism and more specifically Christian scripture there is an inference of unity.
