The First Look at This is Us Season 2

Several hours ago a clip was posted on Twitter revealing a first look of the new season of This Is Us. I did a happy dance first and then grabbed a pile of tissues just in case.

Slight spoilers are a head. If you don't know the events of the finale, I would recommend seeing that first before watching the clip.

In the scene, Randall and Rebecca are discussing adoption and the day that she and Jack adopted him. The moment was beautiful. The conversation felt real and some how still poetic which was something I love from the previous season. Rebecca makes this beautiful speech about marriage that just moved me.

When you have a chance, go check it out. This Is Us returns on NBC on September 26.

The Orville-A surprising series opener

Fox did not do a good job in advertising this. From the promos, it was selling a Star Trekesque space adventure with dirty Seth MacFarlane jokes. And while there were some off-color jokes occasionally through out the episode, what we got was the groundwork for an epic space adventure. Sci-fi programs of late have been dark and gritty with characters that were just too out there to connect with. The Orville was light hearted and fun. Macfarlane wrote and stars as Ed Mercer, a down on his luck captain who finds himself in the charge of the Orville and its motley crew which include his ex-wife who he finds in bed with an alien. Their first trip out, they are tricked into landing on a planet where the head of the science department has created a time altering device. Fights break out and an epic space battle charges on screen. The sets are slick and glossy which is surprising for something that initially seemed like an excuse to cosplay Star Trek. It's light hearted ho...

This is Us: Hopes for Season 2

I truly am a glutton for punishment. Upon finishing the first season of This is Us for a second time, some ideas came to mind as what the writers should try and focus on in Season 2. 1. Stop making Kevin such a jacka** I will admit, that my first viewing of This is Us did not find me liking Kevin. He was egotistical, vain and annoying. I found little sympathy for him during the first half of the series. Compared to some of the more serious storylines his left me a little cold. That feeling started to thaw when we were introduced to his ex-wife Sophie. That made me like him just a little bit. I hope that when season two kicks in that we find that he has evolved into someone who has a little bit more depth. 2. Kate is a person.Not a number on a scale. Please give Kate a storyline that doesn't involve her weight. There is more to a woman than her dress size and Chrissy Metz who plays Kate has proven that she can do so much more. A well-rounded character arc is all that I...

A Message to Haters of the 13th Doctor

Last Sunday it was announced that Jodie Whittaker would take on the role of the 13 th Doctor replacing Peter Capaldi. While most of the reactions have been positive, it’s alarming how many have been equally as hateful. And it’s baffling because it all has to do with gender. I confess that I’m a bit of a newcomer to the Doctor Who fandom and I have a lot to learn, especially with looking at the classic series. However, I’ve seen enough Doctor Who to recognize when people are in the wrong about casting choices. So let me clarify a few things for those haters: One, the Doctor is an alien. Unless you are not familiar with the series or living under a rock this whole time while watching, it means not human. It means that he doesn’t abide by our understanding of being, what gender is. As far as I understand it, the Doctor has never said that he is a man. He is just a being from a different world. And while he has up to this point been played by all male leads, it doesn’t automatica...
