					<description><![CDATA[Dick Tracy became a household name decades ago. For people born in the ’70s and ’80s, like me, it’s easy enough to associate the name “Dick Tracy” with the 1990 Warren Beatty film, but it’s harder to conjure up an anecdote about the original source material. That’s no great failing on my generation’s part, though, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Handmaid’s Tale season 2 finale was about as nerve-wracking as an episode of TV can be. Elizabeth Moss as June has a way of dramatically pausing during very tense scenes, generally during an escape of one kind or another, and she paused plenty in “The Word.” “The Word” brought Emily and Commander Lawrence’s story [&#8230;]]]></description>

Although many of the injuries are trivial, a lack of gravity interferes with people’s abilities to heal, and some who would be on the mend are given [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Another week, another dark and depressing episode of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale. But as I’ve said in previous reviews, no matter how dark this dystopian speculative fiction show gets, it continues to impress. The Waterfords pushed their monstrosity level to new heights this week. And, based on the uncertain ending of “The Last Ceremony” it’s [&#8230;]]]></description>

With the UNN Thomas Prince now inside the Ring, all of the solar system’s various factions are accounted for. And, representing his own sense of Quixotic curiosity, James [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale’s most recent episode entitled “Women’s Work” gave further evidence to the old adage that all good things must come to an end. No, the immensely popular Hulu original series has not been canceled, but Serena and June’s convivial working relationship probably has.

Although it wasn’t always clear where each story-line was going leading up to this episode, by the end of “It Reaches Out” just about everything folded together. The only item left on the back burner was Amos’s secret identity as a former Baltimore [&#8230;]]]></description>

Things aren’t going very well where June/Offred’s plan to free her daughter and escape to Canada is concerned. A tentative peace with Serena Waterford, basically June’s captor, seemed likely to gain June some small access to her captive daughter, but that plan went [&#8230;]]]></description>
