Syfy's Krypton 1x6 "Civil Wars" Recap & Review

The coup is underway. Seg and Lyta invoke an inquisition on Zod and Adam at gunpoint. Oh yes, we're getting Doomsday. Doors being closed around shady dealings are just not a thing in Kandor City?

Syfy's Z Nation 4x5 Recap & Review "The Unknowns"

Stellar episode, amazing set piece; this is the Z Nation I live for! Roberta struggles with PTSD. The team proves that practice in the ZA makes perfect. Lucy needs to go with her own kind...sooner rather than later, and a mysterious organization tests our group and loses in a confined yet outstanding episode. The performances don't disappoint and once again I struggle to find the words to describe Warphy.
