Warehouse 13
Warehouse 13 is such a lovely mystery feel-good series. The stories are told in an exciting way, the setting is interesting but not overly cluttered, and there are fascinating connections to historical events and even some urban legends like the Philadelphia Experiment. Add to that an extremely likable cast of characters who aren’t too stiff… — read more

The Blacklist VII
Even though it’s a heavy cliffhanger at the end of the third season, it’s somehow a bit without impact. We know that the series can’t continue without Liz, so there must be something else going on. And yes, I know how strangely detached I might sound right now, I’m well aware of that. It might… — read more

The Blacklist VI
I had actually thought about taking a break after the second season. There were already too many repetitions, the storyline with the Cabal was just meandering along, and too many loose ends that didn’t seem like they would be resolved soon. However, with Elizabeth and Reddington’s escape, some excitement returned, especially in the second episode… — read more

LOST
I originally planned to do my LOST rewatch in 2024, or at least, the idea kept popping into my head over and over again. My last rewatch was around 2020, and I still vividly remember how all the Oceanic passengers helped me through a really tough valley in my life, back then when the show… — read more

The Blacklist V
Of course, one of the biggest differences between the first and second seasons is that there’s more focus on all the background machinations of the shadow government, as it’s also called in the series. While there are still the individual people from the blacklist, these seem to be fading further and further into the background.… — read more

The Blacklist IV
The beginning of the second season has an altered and slightly confused feel. This is not only because Tom is still present somewhere, but also because Liz has to hide. Reddington too, of course, but that’s not really something new for him. We’ve also gained Samar Navabi as a team member. Naturally, she isn’t just… — read more

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine XI
In my last post, I was almost at the end of the fifth season, and now I’ve reached it. First, we get “Empok Nor” (S05E24), an episode that once again deserves a big compliment to the set designers. The usual station must be rebuilt again to represent DS9’s sister station, Empok Nor. This episode also… — read more

The Blacklist III
Of course, the father-daughter dynamic between Elizabeth and Reddington is somehow clear from the first episode; it simply emerges from the constellation. However, the series repeatedly leaves you in the dark about the extent to which they are actually related or not. After Reddington kills Elizabeth’s adoptive father, though, the whole thing takes a new… — read more

The Blacklist II
Now, due to ongoing lack of planning, I’ve ended up starting The Blacklist. Although I had my finger on the button to start LOST, Netflix immediately showed me The Blacklist, and that’s where I landed. I didn’t feel quite ready for LOST yet; somehow, I want to save that for later. But right off the… — read more

The Blacklist
I used to really enjoy watching The Blacklist because the concept of a top villain ratting out all his colleagues was quite interesting. Unfortunately, it then took a strange direction, as suddenly Reddington wasn’t Reddington, then he was again, and then suddenly he was Elizabeth’s father. I liked that she then became suspicious and there… — read more
