At the end of last week's episode of The Pitt, we finally learned what happened to cause Westbridge to shut down. As PTMC preemptively secures itself from a possible cyberattack, the younger doctors and nurses get a trial by fire on how their superiors did their jobs "in the 1900s." With their
TRIGUN STARGAZE gives us a peculiar combination of hope and hypocrisy between the heroes and villains in Ep. 7 "The Hurt Locker". On one hand, the heroes experience both the loss of hope and its restoration. On the other hand, the villains, well, Knives specifically, show off just how much they are
Journal with Witch has Asa finally conclude her stages of grief with the final stage of acceptance in Ep. 8 "Wander". It's taken a while, but it makes sense since this is the death of her parents we're talking about. It's only natural that it would take a while before she finally processes that

TRIGUN STARGAZE brings the bloody and violent action back with symphonic flair in Ep. 5 "What a Wonderful World". And yet, the villain playing this symphony couldn't be any more terrified of his situation. Methinks most people will feel no small amount of sympathy for Midvalley the Hornfreak even
