    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 13 "Acute Triangle"

    And now for the dreaded words no one ever wants to hear – “We have to talk.” There’s an old cliché of a person looking over his house, or his garage, or his workspace and sighing, “I’ve got to get organized.” Well, that time has come for me. For years, I’ve been letting the clutter build up...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 13 "Acute Triangle"

    The show’s final episode deals with a love triangle, man, wife. and mistress. Except the mistress is a “biorob” (short for biological robot, I gather.) She is cloned from a famous video star, but her mental processes are changed so that she will just do whatever she can to please her owner...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 12 "Options"

    Tonight’s episode was the classic love story. Boy meets girl. Boy marries girl. Boy cheats on girl. Girl becomes a boy. Oh wait, what? Yes, in Betaville you can change sexes back and forth on a whim if you wish. So Cleo, our female hero, becomes Leo. It’s not to spite her husband actually...

    Review CATWEAZLE: THE TRICKERY LANTERN - Episode 13

    The first season of Catweazle ends surprisingly in this rather well done episode. First we meet Mr. Bennett’s sister Flo and she is a delight: sweet, friendly, helpful, and with a really good memory too. Oh, and she’s seen something called the Hexwood ghost as well – several times in fact...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 11 "Into the Shop"

    This week: KITT-Y goes berserk. Yes, this episode has a futuristic car, though not as fancy as the KNIGHT INDUSTRIES TWO THOUSAND, and with a female voice to boot. It starts out well. Our lead character Federal Police Marshall Stu Clemens spots a man robbing an ATM. He flees, but Stu isn’t...

    Review CATWEAZLE: THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON - Episode 12

    Well, you certainly can’t say that this episode didn’t advance the plot. Changes galore took place this week. For starters, school had started again and Carrot was busy with classes by day. And at night he had a case of “the Skinners”. “A plague?” asked Cat. “Sort of,” Carrot agreed. The...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 10 "All Our Sins Forgotten"

    No, it's okay. I'm all caught up now. The Saturday appointment I mentioned was unexpectedly cancelled. And as I said, the episode was great, so no harm done. Send me #11 next weekend.

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 10 "All Our Sins Forgotten"

    I didn't see your offer right away, but if you check down last week's post, you'll see I did respond.

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 10 "All Our Sins Forgotten"

    Well, I thought I was getting a week off here but Mad-Pac posted the next episode and sent me a copy so I managed to watch two episodes in one weekend. The good news is it was totally worth it. This episode was hands down the best episode of the series so far – a solid premise, good acting...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 9 "Hemeac"

    I wondered what that title could mean – some sort of blood-diseased individual perhaps? Turned out it was just a person’s name. Imagine that. This story had some interesting elements to it. It reminded me of “The Academy” (NIGHT GALLERY), “The Doomsday Machine” (STAR TREK) and the movie THE...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 9 "Hemeac"

    Yes, I would appreciate that very much. It's been a hectic week and I have an appointment for Saturday morning as well. So it would be great not to have to watch two episodes in one weekend. We could think of it as a midseason break. Thanks!

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 9 "Hemeac"

    Well, this is hilarious in a way. Last week, my review sat there for almost a week with no activity. Now, suddenly Mad-pac has posted his review and this new episode's review. Unfortunately, weekend mornings are my best chance to watch this show, but I couldn't do it last weekend because I...

    Review This Friday.... CATWEAZLE: THE FLYING BROOMSTICKS - Episode 11

    A bit of trickery in the title here. The Broomsticks never really fly, except in the slang of being stolen. Catweazle is the culprit, snatching them for a spell involving burning broomsticks – another attempt to get back home to his own time. But it’s poor Sam who ends up paying the price –...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 8 "The Extra"

    This one just didn’t work for me at all. It started with millionaire Daniel Grey who had a stable of clones that he raises strictly for their future use as organ donors. I can see the sad logic in that; it makes a ghoulish sense. But then this bozo practically advertises it, bragging about it...

    Review CATWEAZLE: THE HOUSE OF THE SORCERER - Episode 10

    Carpenter and Lawrence seem to have come up with a winning combination the last couple of weeks. Introduce a strange character into the mix, throw in some mistaken ideas, and let the fun begin. Though not as clever as last week, I still found lots of good fun in this week’s installment. This...

    Review CATWEAZLE: THE DEMI DEVIL - Episode 09

    Well, once again Carrot has abandoned his chores to go be with Catweazle, leaving the kitchen such a mess it looks like six people or more had dined there. In his defense, though, he was out telling Cat to stop stealing chickens from his Dad’s farm. (They were thinking a fox had gotten them...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 7 "The Winner"

    Let’s start off by saying this is some of the best casting the series has had so far. Every one of the main characters was well chosen and well executed. Ice-T has the tough guy role, angry, ready to escape, wanting to buck the system. But still he shows patches of decency. Ian Tracey, his...
