Psycho-Pass - "Devil's Crossroad" (TV Episode Review #35)

Before she was an Enforcer, Yayoi Kunizuka was the guitarist of a rock band authorized by the Sybil System.  However, she was also best friends with Rina Takizaki, the frontwoman of an unauthorized rock band.  Legally, these two musicians were not supposed to interact, let alone be friends—because according to Sybil, this was a danger to Yayoi’s hue.

Red Dwarf - "White Hole" (TV Episode Review #34)

 
The plot of “White Hole” could be best described as a perfect example of mission creep, which is when a goal or task that is first assumed to be easy suddenly unravels into a grander conflict with a wider scope than ever originally conceived.  In this case, Holly’s showing her wear and tear as a computer, so Kryten comes up with a complex plan to “reboot” and fix her.  At first, the plan seems to go smoothly… that is until it goes awry, putting all of Red Dwarf at risk.

Red Dwarf - "Polymorph" (TV Episode Review #30)


 
Polymorph (paw-lee-morf)
Noun.
A vampiric GELF (genetically engineered lifeform) that can take the form of anything—anything—and feeds on the negative emotions of its prey.  (In addition to preying on live creatures, the Polymorph is also able to prey on mechanoids and holograms.  Don’t question the logic.)
