Sci-Fi Pulse Reviews Abnormal Fixation's Season Finale!


Our web series lands its FINAL episode of Season One, tomorrow, and Sci-Fi Pulse is here with a great review!

Raissa Devereux writes:

"Abnormal Fixation, Episode 6....was everything the season finale needed to be. Plot points were addressed lovingly and thoughtfully, while leaving room for a second season of storytelling...The entire cast was excellent. That said, the finale belonged to two actors.  For his part, Trumbull McCoy completely sold Bleeder’s tragicomic triumph. McCoy’s parallel scene partner, Muir, lead the ensemble with the confidence and tenderness the story required.

I can't wait for the audience to see how it all wraps up, TOMORROW!

SciFi Pulse Reviews Abnormal Fixation Episode 5: "The Doll"


 SciFi Pulse's Raissa Devereux reviews tomorrow's episode of Abnormal Fixation, "The Doll:"

"Abnormal Fixation, Episode 5“The Doll” paid off the world-building and character development ...John Kenneth Muir used the titular doll as one of several Chekhov’s guns. In the process, he gave viewers a master class on narrative economy, as he set up the season finale. Muir maintained the tonal tightrope walk. The payoffs were all necessarily tragic, even when the context was comic Additionally, Muir deftly juxtaposed Alyssa and Dr. Carol Carroll. Both women understood Season better than she understood herself.

As for Alyssa, I really appreciated how Muir used her as meta-commentary on film financing. I find I’m as invested in Alyssa’s creative journey as I am in the subjects of her documentary.

All the regulars were excellent. They did a great job of conveying fatigue with the ruts their characters were were in. They walked the razor thin line with viewers between sympathy and exasperation.

The standout, however, was Leslie Cossor as Dr. Carol Carroll. She combined delightful physical choices with wonderful comic timing...

Sci Fi Pulse Reviews AF Episode 4: "The Trip" (and link to episode included!)

 Sci-Fi Pulse is out with a positive review of AF's fourth episode, which premieres today! 

Writing about "The Trip," critic Raissa Devereux notes: 

"...As for the comedy, viewers got two marvelous sequences. The first centered around Elvis’ car. The second took place at a B&B. Then, there’s a third sequence that I would classify as dramedy. That involved Mark’s metaphor for his relationship with Season..

...The entire cast remained top notch throughout. For their parts, John Kenneth Muir and Alicia Martin continued as a wonderful comedic double act. Additionally, Kathryn Muir and guest Kim Breeding-Mercer were obviously having fun with their deadpan performances. The standout, however, was Chris Martin, who had to walk a razor thin line...

...Abnormal Fixation, Episode 4“The Trip” set up the final installments of the season perfectly."

50 Years Ago: Land of the Lost: "Survival Kit" (September 18, 1976)

It’s very rare to come across an episode of  Land of the Lost  -- in any season -- that I vehemently dislike and judge almost entirely worth...
