    he Terminal List: Dark Wolf Review: Is the Prequel STRONGER Than the Original?

    I'm breaking down The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. The spin-off that shocked us all! Most prequels are just cash grabs, but showrunner David DiGilio completely flipped the script, delivering a masterclass in modern military action.

    We dive into why the shift in focus from James Reece's convoluted conspiracy to Ben Edwards and his character-driven journey in 2015 Mosul was a narrative game-changer. It's intense, it’s stripped-down, and it handles the "going rogue" theme perfectly.

    Join me as we explore the character complexity, the superior pacing, and why we gave Dark Wolf a clear 8 out of 10. If you were waiting for a reason to jump into this universe, this episode explains why the prequel is the one you need to watch.

  • Alien Earth Series one review.

    Alien Earth Series one review.
    Sep 27 2025
    Host, author, and screenwriter CJ Aggett dives into Noah Hawley's "Alien Earth" series. We analyze why the phenomenal cast - especially Timothy Olyphant's mysterious Kirsh - saved the show, but why the Xenomorph felt completely defanged.

    Did the series trade pure horror for corporate dystopia, and was that the right creative choice?

    This 6/10 review breaks down the character arcs, the script's structure, and the missing element of primal terror that defines the original films.
