At a local book fair earlier this year, I came across a random find that I thought was a fun little novelty (pardon the slight pun), How it Works…The Computer.

Read moreThe job of a season finale is to bring the season’s story arcs to a close, and establish new ones for the next season (if there is one). This finale did a solid job, but I feel that ending on a cliffhanger brought it down a bit, especially with no news as of yet, if it will be renewed. The

Read moreThis episode was all about everyone having a bad day of some kind (except for Leonie and Graham, who didn’t make an appearance), and I’m going to review it character by character.
