Review of 'Invasion' Season One Finale
There's much less talking and no real combat in the Invasion Season One finale up on Apple TV+ today (yes, there will be a second season, the series was renewed two days ago). Our main characters all over the world, still in various stages of profound shock, after what happened last week, struggle to understand what's going on. Much like us, the viewers, on our other side of the screen.

Elastic Dreams. Seen Black Mirror? You might like this too. Top Story - November 2021.

Review of 'Foundation' 1.10
It's a little after 1am, Friday, 19 November 2021, a few miles north of New York City, as I write this. I just saw the season 1 finale -- episode 1.10 -- of the Foundation series on Apple TV+. It came on the screen at 12 midnight, as the day began. Unlike Paramount Plus, which says a show (such as Star Trek Discovery) begins on a given day, but doesn't make it available on the East Coast until 3 in the morning of the stated day. I just wanted to give a shout-out to Apple TV+ on that account.

Review of 'Invasion' 1.6
Well, I'm beginning to feel like I'm handing out "best episodes of the season so far" like bouquets at the end of this week, but they're well deserved. I said yesterday that Foundation 1.9 was best of the season so far -- actually, tied with Foundation 1.7 at that spot, in my opinion -- and today I'll say that about Invasion 1.6. In fact, I'd say it easily is the single best episode of the season so far.
