This week starts in Beta’s version of Law & Order as two cops investigate the deaths of two Vex-Cor execs and a member of something called “The Hard Livings.” During the cop’s descriptive flashback of what might have happened, we see Charlie’s face. Cop thinks one Vex-Cor lady was pushed and someone (Charlie) shot the [...]
We start with the water pouring into Alphaverse and a bit of a recap of last episode. Gemma shrugs Charlie off, says he’s just going make it worse. He drops a bombshell on Gemma (and me actually) saying he’s not working for another company, he’s working for Vex-Cor. Gemma thinks he means Galt, but he [...]
Alpha, Jasmine on a dark street. Coffee guy from Ep. 1. (Dotts?) Charlie may turn up. Uses her new wrist chip. Sew Sew shows up to give her crap for losing her job and staying at a nice hotel. Scans her, she’s a C-2. Flashes to Charlie in a new apartment with brown water. Sew [...]
It’s all about time. According to IMDB, Chris Roland (the series co-creator) has written or helped write all the episodes thus far. The same source also says only 4 of the 9 episodes thus far have been written or directed by anyone but him, including the pilot. Why then was this the best of the [...]
Things in the verses are starting to shake up. 16 hours before the premiere of Eureka, Charlie Jade brings one of its best episodes. There was some serious emotion this time around counteracting the sheer darkness (and I mean lighting) of the episode. I was seriously frustrated at the blinds causing a glare on the [...]
…in which we get a peek at Charlie’s past. Flashback to five years ago. Charlie is narrating as two soldiers enter a building. It’s the same type of building we saw Jasmine in last week; lots of plastic and granite. They enter a room and open fire. One soldier takes off his helmet and we [...]
Charlie doesn’t take his shirt off in this episode. That may cost a rating point. Themba Makandi is giving an impassioned speech about standing up and fighting for rights of workers. A pamphlet with his picture raising a solidarity fist is circulated. Charlie is narrating this episode and he lets us know Makandi has gone [...]
If Charlie Jade shows us anything, it’s that bad guys know how to party. We start with 01 Boxer in a club. He’s in the midst of his usual debauchery. CJ is waiting outside in his car. He sees a man in a grey suit looking right at him. Man In Gray Suit (MIGS) eludes [...]
Some questions were answered and some plots were advanced, but the latest episode of Charlie Jade felt a little flat. It could be that watching it while trying to put kids to bed had an impact on it but watching it a second time did not help. A memorial is taking place in each of [...]
I officially like this show. I knew I’d have to give it three or four episodes. It’s a neat idea and it’s fairly well written, it just needed to get its feet underneath it and become comfortable with the style. There’s a catch, however, and I’ll get into that later. First a quick recap. After [...]
