This episode holds a special place in my heart. I thought so highly of this episode that I wrote and made a parody of the episode. It had a lot going for it. It never appears on people’s top 25 lists, and that’s fine. Ed Wynn is the star of this one as Lou Bookman […]

The first of many great episodes. This episode stars Earl Holliman as Mike Davis, and the episode mainly revolves around him until the very end. Rod Serling’s opening narration “The place is here, the time is now, and the journey into the shadows that we’re about to watch could be our journey.” The Story Mike […]
by Tanner Kocher Chapters 6 and 7 I want to try something a little different for this one. The release of episode 7 kind of snuck up on me, but I don’t feel like that’s a bad thing. Watching these two episodes back to back works because episode 6 is very much a filler episode, […]
This week, we see how Angela and Jon met and the story of the past 10 years of their lives. Then Jon gets canonized. Here we are, on the precipice of the season finale. It was a brilliant episode. My name is Kent, and I ask 5 weekly questions and then people answer them. Any […]
by Tanner Kocher Chapter 5: the Gunslinger Well, here we go again. The Mandalorian has this way of taking great concepts and making them boring. The episode isn’t terrible; it hits all the hallmarks of a good western, and has some inventive scenes, but I get so bored sitting through these episodes. [Spoiler Warning Ahead] […]
by Tanner Kocher Chapter 4: Sanctuary If ever there was a doubt, this episode perfectly encapsulates the western dynamic of life outside the Core of the Star Wars galaxy. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, and I have very few bad things to say about it (the keywords here are ‘very few’). [Spoiler Warning Ahead] First, […]
This week, Angela is connected to an elephant, Blake falls for the old trapdoor in living room gag, and we learn that Dr. Manhattan is on Earth inside Cal. It was a brilliant episode. My name is Kent, and I ask 5 weekly questions and then people answer them. Any comments in BOLD are written […]
by Tanner Kocher Chapter 3: The Sin While the show does get back on track pretty quickly into the episode, the Mandalorian feels more concerned with proving that it exists in the Star Wars universe than keeping the story interesting. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the episode, but between heavy-handed references to the movies, […]
This week, we got to learn a lot about Will Reeves and how his life’s journey. We saw the creation of Hooded Justice and the highs and lows. It was a brilliant episode. My name is Kent, and I ask 5 weekly questions and then people answer them. Any comments in BOLD are written by […]
by Tanner Kocher Chapter 2: The Child “A show is only as good as its filler episodes.” That quote has shaped how I’ve watched TV over the last five or so years. After the explosive first episode of the Mandalorian, the new Star Wars shoe from Disney+, episode two falls prey to a common problem […]
