We often view ugly moments in this life, as nothing more than tragedy, and it makes sense as to why. After all, ugly moments produce a bevy of negative emotions for us. Since they can induce fear and worry, and potentially make us angry in a manner where we scare ourselves. Not to mention, they can change our lives in a sour way and force us to forge ahead, into a future, where nothing is the same. But we cannot always view ugly moments as the absolute worst. Because sometimes they are a wake-up call for us, or an opportunity to make stunning changes to our lives, and they can even bring us places we never thought we would find ourselves, as evidenced by the season seven finale of Outlander on STARZ.

For ‘A Hundred Thousand Angels’ saw everyone find light in the dark. For instance, Roger managed to reunite with his family in the 1700s, since the thought of him did bring everyone to him through time, and that allowed for this couple to catch their breath and find joy after dealing with harrowing events this season. To the point where Brianna found gratitude for the opportunity that Brian offered them regarding safety and shelter and where… she and Roger began to ponder upon their future. Because while they had built a life in 1980, it was clearly more trouble than it was worth and they began to wonder more so… where they fit in, in the timeline, and that’s a fair question to ask and it all came forth out of darker times.
 
As for young William, well, he learned of the power of being brave, because of love, in this story. Since he learned that Jane was going on trial whether she liked it or not, and the chance of her having any measure of freedom was slim at best. For she committed a crime and would pay the piper and that prompted him… to seek out his father and use his skills with guile to try and break her out. Granted, that sadly went nowhere since Jane checked out of this world of her own accord. But William grew on this day, and found a level of bravery he had never known, through heartbreak no less, and it even pushed him to confront Jamie about how he came to be and declare how he would never let his father in. 

Speaking of Jamie, well, his ability to help his son regardless of the outcome, was made possible by wondrous news. In that, Claire was going to be okay. Granted she was in rough shape because of the surgery that was performed, but pain or no… she would live. She merely needed to heal and that allowed for this power couple to spend endless hours together and reaffirm their deep-rooted love for one another and decide… they wanted a different life than the one they were currently leading. In fact, they were both ready to return home to the Ridge and just live and love and enjoy the majesty of the moment, since they had both survived scary scrapes with death. Which was wonderful to learn and wonderful to hear and oddly, the peace they found in their love… and the close brush that Claire had with the end, seemingly brought her to a unique place in this tale.
​
In fact, one could easily call it fate, really. Because in the wake of Jane’s death, they agreed to take care of her tiny sister, Fanny. Simply because she obviously had no one, they had the room and had always wanted a daughter of their own, so why not open their doors to a little one in need. Which led to some beautiful moments where they quickly filled in the parenting roles she needed. But before returning to the Ridge, with Young Ian and Rachel no less, little Fanny stunned Claire, by singing the song that Claire once imparted upon Faith. Leading Claire to believe that all along, their daughter may have survived. If anything, it was as though, fate needed them both to go through some ugly moments to prepare them for this one.

As to whether or not Fanny is Faith, only time will tell. But that moment was a neat little bow on a supremely thoughtful and moving season finale. One that forwent tension and worry to just… let these characters heal in just about every way imaginable, and they outright deserved that. Because they’ve all been through hell this year, courtesy of the war and courtesy of just… life. Because it can be quite cruel, and it does send ugly moments our way. The question always is, how we respond to those moments and what we take from them, and seeing everyone’s strength here, regarding that… was inspiring. Not to mention, by wrapping all these plot threads up, the series can now… offer up its proper farewell to the many fans that have supported it for years on end, when it returns for its eighth… and final season. Until next time.

​Truly, the Love After saga on We TV, has offered up supremely positive and unique perspectives regarding couples that enter into an incredibly unique and difficult type of relationship. For it is not easy to build a relationship when one’s better half is behind bars or adjusting to life after prison. But these couples do their best to try and make it work. Sometimes they are successful, sometimes they are not. But this series makes sure to showcase the ups and the downs of this type of relationship, and now the franchise is preparing to explore even more, as evidenced by today’s announcement.
​
Because earlier today, We TV let it be known, that they are now going to look at the entire picture for the individuals featured in this saga. Because we don’t always hear about how they found their way into jail, nor do we get any information on who they were before we meet them, and what motivated their crimes. But Love After Lockup: Crime Story will indeed cover that, and to give us an idea of how comprehensive this limited series will be, We TV was kind enough to release details on the show, along with a trailer and key art. Which we will share with you now, as we prepare to uncover the whole story from this epic new series.

‘We TV today released a trailer for the new, highly anticipated limited series, Love After Lockup: Crime Story, premiering on Friday, February 7th at 8pm ET/PT / 7pm CT and streaming exclusively on popular AMC streaming service ALLBLK.

​
One particular belief that we hold to when we start to work to heal in this life, is that when we cross the finish line and make real progress, nothing but good days are ahead. And it makes sense as to why we hold to that. Because that gives us something to look forward to, and we think we are more prepared than ever to handle the ugly stuff, so it stands to reason that what lie ahead will be brighter days and fresher air and a real peace within our soul, and a sense of readiness for what lie ahead. But sadly, we eventually come to learn that when one door closes, another one opens, and tough new challenges and hard lessons await us. The kind that might arrive years down the line… or right away, as was the case in this week’s episode of Found on NBC.

For ‘Missing While Targeted’ saw the team use a new case to continue their healing journey. For instance, Zeke found a way to cope and find purpose without technology at his fingertips. Something that came forth via Lacey. Since she needed to hack into a laptop and used Zeke’s knowledge to make it happen, giving him that little extra and giving her new skills and a new sense of confidence that she used to lead the charge in this case. After all, Margaret was still away and healing and Gabi, well we will discuss her journey in a bit. But the goal was to find a missing man and former addict that just disappeared out of the blue and that prompted Lacey to really step up here and direct traffic and even inspire Dahn to claim agency as a member of the team and in his life.

Granted, taking a bullet was part of that process. But it did help him to reconnect with Ethan and start to discuss their life together and that bullet came forth because they cracked the case after all. For it turned out the person they were looking for, was in witness protection and being moved around by Trent and finding him allowed for a happy ending there. Not to mention, Trent even found some measure of healing and progress in this tale. Since his anger and borderline illegal decisions were called into question by his friends here. Prompting him to back off a bit and offer grace, and work to heal his wounds accordingly, rather than just be an angry cop that abused his power. Which could not have come at a better time.

Because in the midst of all of this, was the new challenge for the team to face, one that revolved around Gabi. For she confronted Sir in this episode only to learn that he was not ready for that. For he told her, he had something bigger to handle, first, something involving Trent. Which led to her being knocked out cold, to the point where she was able to help with the case but never lead. Since she had to recover and be the primary person to hammer Trent on his nonsense. But Sir wasn’t lying when he said that he was onto something big. Something that could involve Jamie, and he revealed at the end of this story, to Trent no less… that Trent’s dad did a poor job of handling a serial kidnapper case, and that he was ready to expose such incompetence to the world. Unless of course, Trent dropped the charges against Gabi. All because, he still expected he and Gabi to be together and needed her to be free from issues with the law. 

All of which brings this story back to its central conflict, Gabi versus Sir, and the twisted little game they play, and that also sets the stage for an epic back half of the season. One that even included a cliffhanger here. Since Trent did fight Sir and there was a gunshot. Leaving us to wonder if Trent is okay because we all know this isn’t the right time to bring Sir. But while we wait to see if this show made a bold call with Trent, we must celebrate one amazing story. One that really did move everyone forward in their healing journey and it did a wonderful job of refocusing the story on the central fight here. Not that we didn’t enjoy the other side bits as they’ve progressed, but a showdown between those two has always been the core expectation of the story, and it will be interesting to see what lie ahead with team members injured and with Sir preparing to execute the next phase of his hideous plan to capture Gabi. Until next time.

​
We firmly believe that when we say ‘I do’ to our once and future partner, and enter into the realm of holy matrimony, that the person we love… will be everything we hope for and more. They will be our support network; they will love us unconditionally and of course… grow with us. But above all, they will protect us from harm and do no harm. For they love us and need us as much as we love and need them, and sadly… that doesn’t always end up being the case. For sometimes we grow apart in love, and fall out of it, and sometimes harm is imparted in a relationship through a variety of means. Everything from infidelity to dark acts we could never dream them capable of.

But thankfully, we can, with the right support network… exit a bad marriage and if things went supremely south, get the help we need to heal and recover and find the right person for us. But one common denominator when it comes to seeing our love fall to pieces, is that the actions that lead to its end are quite visible in nature and allow for us handle them head on. But what if… someone we loved and adored was trying to harm us from afar, and did everything they could to keep it a secret? What would that look like and what kind of harm would that impart? Well, it just so happens that the next episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, explores just that. 

A feat that ‘First Light’ accomplished by introducing us to a lovely couple that really seemed to be couple goals. For Katherine and Harris Vernon lived in a nice home, had that vibe that perfect couples always have and even worked in similar fields to nurture similar interests. But one fine, day, their garage was defaced with the word ‘whore’, and a thumb drive showing a sexual encounter between Katherine and another man was sent to her workplace and her husband’s. But there was a big problem with this. In that, Katherine had no memory of being with this man, and she looked inebriated on the recording, leading her to believe that she was assaulted. Which put the team into action, and they quickly found the man responsible and in doing so, uncovered a hideous secret.

In that, it appeared that Harris drugged her and set this whole thing up. But of course, more proof was needed to solidify that and eventually the team found evidence. Since there was a professor at Harris’ school who assaulted Katherine in a similar state because Harris claimed it was her fantasy, and he of course, observed. Plus, the team found that Harris set up a fake account on a forum for such acts, with the same story. All because, Harris had dark fantasies and desires that he wanted fulfilled, and rather than be open about them with his wife, he decided it best to just make it happen whether she liked it or not. Which spoke to a disgusting betrayal of trust, and the show properly explored not only how this could happen, since a lack of a sexual spark motivated these interests, but also how badly it could rip a person to shreds emotionally.

Thankfully though, Harris paid for his crimes and Katherine found closure, and we learned… so much. Such as how people can change, even those we love, and we have to be cognizant of that possibility and act accordingly. Preferably through healthy communication and actions that are healthy to our relationship, and that made for a powerful episode. One that really did shock the audience for certain but won us over in the end. Thanks to that proper ending, and through Carisi’s journey in this tale. Since we also learned he was still struggling with the events of ‘Cornered’ and it was impacting his work here. But a good support network will put us on the right path, and he’s back on that now and will undoubtedly find his way forward and that’s a good thing. Because the team needs him to help bring down more of the twisted individuals that choose to bring great harm to others. Until next time.

​
It is definitely safe to say that we live in a world that is filled to the brim with fear. Fear that revolves around our financial security, our political and moral future and of course… fear of being attacked by foreign forces. Which exists now because the Russian Federation opted to try and resurrect old haunts by invading territory that no longer belongs to them. Because Israel has set foot into the Gaza strip and in the United States of America… that fear exists because we have in fact, never forgotten 9/11. In fact, we let it be the driving force of our current xenophobia, to the point where great division exists now between citizens and anyone deemed to be a foreigner.

To the point where there is a desire to remove immigrants from a nation built upon immigration… for some reason… and where we truly have our eyes peeled for agents of chaos. Courtesy of the occasional lone wolf that causes trouble. Leaving all of us to wonder when the fear will end and if it doesn’t… what will become of us? Well, it just so happens that the next episode of Law & Order on NBC explores the answer to that question in a supremely bleak and powerful manner. A feat that ‘Enemy of the State’ accomplished by lulling us into a false sense of security with the story it presented. For this one opened up with what seemed to be a standard murder case, after we learned that Lieutenant Brady was back at work following a suspension for her actions in 'Bad Apple', between two longtime friends no less.

For one of them shoved the other in front of an incoming subway train and as the investigation unfolded, this murder made no sense. For the victim wasn’t a troublemaker in the slightest, and really was beholden to nothing dark. So, it made no sense that someone would impart harm. Even more so, his best friend. But when that bestie turned up with an explosive vest on his body, it became clear something deeper was at work here. In fact, Noah, the man responsible for his friend’s death, was happy to speak upon his actions. In that, he was working as a violent activist. Someone that wanted to stand up for the people his family descended from in China, and his friend learned of his plan to punish the wicked with that bomb… so he chose to murder him to keep the plan safe.

One that was orchestrated, by an FBI Agent named Joshua Haddad. Who was working undercover to find individuals that were lost and potentially radicalized, and it was his job to push them and see if they could be, and act accordingly. But clearly, this got out of hand, and because a death was involved, Haddad was charged with Manslaughter charges. A move that exposed this plan in court and even brought DA Baxter to the stand to testify. Simply because he helped create this program back after 9/11, and knew its structure and rules, and he was quick to point out that Haddad broke every rule out there regarding this program and cost someone their life because of that. Which brought forth justice, and much for the viewer to ponder upon regarding that heavy question.

Since this episode let us know… that if we keep letting this fear control us and keep feeding it day in and out… we will turn on one another. Some might say we already have, but this is where it could go. Which means, it’s clear we have to stop being so afraid, and stop being so divided, so we don’t start creating our own chaos and well, let the bad guys win by ripping ourselves to shreds. Which made for a powerful episode, one that was dark, powerful and thoughtful to say the least, and oddly… reflects the times to a tee. But this show is indeed good at that, and it will be interesting to see what other powerful observations await us the good people in this show, continue to fight the good fight to prevent fear from taking over. Until next time.

​
One particular phrase that has continues to be used in our modern is world, is the definition of insanity. Simply because in 2025, we still keep doing a lot of things the same, and we continue to expect a different result and somehow… are shocked when nothing changes. But we seem unable to move away from such line of thinking, and it is hard to say exactly why. It could be based in fear, since heaven knows humanity fears real and impactful change, or it could be related to the fact that we just aren’t at a point… from an emotional and intelligence standpoint as a species… to finally break free of such nonsense. Or perhaps… the solution to this age-old problem is far simpler.

In that, maybe we all just expect someone else to step in and save us, to be the voice of reason over the shouting and the nonsense and well, no one ever does. So perhaps, it is up to us to break the cycle and how we could potentially do that… was put on display in the season two finale of Silo on Apple TV+. For ‘Into the Fire’ saw the situation in two Silos reach a crisis point. For in Silo 17, Juliette learned that the alternate suit she was ready to use to return home, had massive holes in the fabric, and that would harm her greatly and before she could find a solid solution regarding that, more infighting was happening between those left behind and that just led to chaos. Where it seemed as though no progress would come forth.

Not to mention, back in Silo 18, the rebellion reached its apex, and Bernard thought he had the upper hand at last. For a plan was announced on camera and his shock forces were sent into the down deep to stop it and bring Knox and his group into custody. Only for Bernard to learn… that he was being played all along. For the use of hand signals amongst his targets revealed what he wanted from Martha to the others, so they used a fake plan to lure all of the security forces into the down deep so they could isolate them there with an explosive device. In the hopes of taking IT and revealing the truth, but that did not go as planned either. Since suddenly others were just eager to go outside, showcasing how rebellion can mean different things to different people and that when chaos arrives, dumb things happen.

All of which allowed for two individuals to play the hero and finally break the insanity. One of which, was Lukas. Who returned to the up top and told Bernard what he learned in secret, which broke Bernard and put him on a path to protect others and not himself, for he felt lied to regarding this newly uncovered truth. But Lukas’ actions, ended a dictatorship and broke a cycle, and it gave Sims newfound knowledge since Bernard handed over the Vault to him and his family. As for the other hero… that was Juliette. Who stood tall against the nonsense in 17 and spoke to how they had to stop fighting against one another and turn their anger toward those who put them in harm’s way, and that brought peace to her situation and inspired others. Since Solo tested her suit and even informed her of the Safeguard Procedure before she made her way home.
​
Wherein, she was able to inspire hope, end the rebellion and confront Bernard and inform him she knew that there was more at play here. Since it became clear that Salvador Quinn was a rebel caught between two worlds. One where he sought knowledge and one where he sought freedom and somewhere along the line, those responsible for the creation of the Silos wanted him to never have a firm grasp on either. But before this duo could properly team up to explore why, they were put in a precarious and fiery situation. One that left us worried for their well-being… before the show opted to surprise us. By taking us back to what appeared to be the 21st Century. To inform us that long ago, there was fear gripping America courtesy of global unrest, and an attack on American soil, and that two individuals from vastly different worlds, may have given life to the Silos out of that fear. Courtesy of a relic that we’ve seen before.

All of which made, for an epic season two finale. Because this one had it all. Tension, high stakes, heroism and a juicy cliffhanger. Complete with answers and commentary, and above all… implication. In that, season three of this epic story, might finally explore the origins of the Silos, and hopefully showcase how those origins broke Bernard and hopefully showcase a unified people in 18. Where perhaps they can dismantle the digital control that hovers over them since clearly… it knows all and controls all, and now all we have to do… is wait patiently for the next chapter in this saga. But while we do, we can celebrate one amazing finale, one that left our hearts racing, took our breath away and set the stage for two more glorious years of this refreshing television series. Until next time.

Please enjoy this exclusive sneak peek of tonight’s brand-new episode of Love During Lockup on We TV!

It is definitely safe to say that January 17, 2025, will be a somber day for Outlander fans. In large part, because the season seven finale will be an emotional rollercoaster for certain. One that will move us in ways that only this show can. Not to mention, reality will set in after we watch it, that we only have one more year of storytelling left. And knowing that we will have to say a long goodbye to Jamie and Claire will be difficult for certain. Which is likely why STARZ made a bold move earlier today.
​

It’s been a long time since we’ve enjoyed a fresh series from the world of Spartacus and understandably so. After all, the original STARZ shows had run their course and came to their proper conclusions. So, it truly seemed as though the saga was complete. But alas, there were still more stories from this universe to tell, as evidenced by the exciting announcement that STARZ had greenlit a new chapter in this saga; Spartacus: House of Ashur. A thrilling return to this world and a magnificent reunion with a beloved character.
​
Which was news that truly ignited everyone’s imagination and of course, left us wondering what we could expect from this new show and when we could potentially see it and return to this incredible world that has always captivated us. Well, at long last, both questions can be answered. Since recently, STARZ announced that this series will debut later this year in the fall, and… they even released a teaser trailer for the show. One that we will share with you now, so you can properly prepare for your return to Ashur’s world and the madness of an era gone by.

‘STARZ has released the first look at its upcoming action-packed gladiator drama “Spartacus: House of Ashur” with a teaser trailer that gives fans an early peek at the highly anticipated next chapter in the “Spartacus” franchise set to premiere this Fall. Nick Tarabay reprises his role as the infamous Ashur in this epic new saga which re-imagines possibilities and turns of fate from the original fan-favorite series. Outlander’s Graham McTavish will co-star as Korris, Ashur’s Doctore, and Tenika Davis as Achillia, a fierce gladiatrix, with Steven S. DeKnight also continuing to helm the world of “Spartacus” as executive producer and showrunner.
 
“Spartacus: House of Ashur” will be a history-bending, erotic, thrilling, roller-coaster experience that builds on everything that made the original series a colossal hit. The series poses the question: what if Ashur, hadn’t died on Mount Vesuvius at the end of “Spartacus: Vengeance?” And what if he had been gifted the gladiator school once owned by Batiatus in return for aiding the Romans in killing Spartacus and putting an end to the slave rebellion?
 
“Spartacus: Blood and Sand” debuted on STARZ in 2010 and was followed by a prequel series chapter “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena” in 2011 and two additional series “Spartacus: Vengeance” in 2012 and “Spartacus: War of the Damned” in 2013. “Spartacus” creator, writer and executive producer Steven S. DeKnight (“Daredevil”) serves as showrunner and executive producer. Rick Jacobson and Aaron Helbing also serve as executive producers. “Spartacus: House of Ashur” is produced by Lionsgate Television for STARZ.
