As the saying goes, you can’t con a con. This week we delve into the world of deceit in a fully linear episode of The Stand. We spend time with the spies in both New Vegas and Boulder, and we examine the reach of Flagg’s power. As the first episode without a time hop, the show is much more

This week on Star Trek: Discovery Season three episode six "Scavengers", Michael goes on an unsanctioned mission after receiving a message from Book. Commander Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) is not adapting well to her new circumstances. Although she seems fine and well put together, being
