Supergirl Season 1 Episode 13 Review – ‘For The Girl Who Has Everything’
Martin Carr reviews the thirteenth episode of Supergirl… Feeling like a throwback to Alien and those programmes confident enough to put two people in a room for an hour with no action. Supergirl hit her stride yet again with pitched battles, comedic elements and alien parasites. Coupled with moments of pathos in an episode which […]

Star Wars Rebels Season 2 Episode 14 Review – ‘Homecoming’
Chris Cooper reviews the fourteenth episode of Star Wars Rebels season 2… This week’s episode of Rebels manages to balance things really well. Well enough to make the fact that its story is paper-thin a non-issue. I’m going to go off on a slight tangent now. Hera calls out A-Wings by name! We rarely hear […]
Video Game Preview – Sheltered
Martin Carr previews Sheltered… Consider Sheltered a constantly evolving organic entity. Fancy words I know. But ultimately the most accurate when it comes to describing what we have. You see what Team 17 have done is started with a basic concept. A sort of low-fi Fallout 4. Minus the graphical enhancements, combat nuances or inherent […]
