    he Terminal List: Dark Wolf Review: Is the Prequel STRONGER Than the Original?

    I'm breaking down The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. The spin-off that shocked us all! Most prequels are just cash grabs, but showrunner David DiGilio completely flipped the script, delivering a masterclass in modern military action.

    We dive into why the shift in focus from James Reece's convoluted conspiracy to Ben Edwards and his character-driven journey in 2015 Mosul was a narrative game-changer. It's intense, it’s stripped-down, and it handles the "going rogue" theme perfectly.

    Join me as we explore the character complexity, the superior pacing, and why we gave Dark Wolf a clear 8 out of 10. If you were waiting for a reason to jump into this universe, this episode explains why the prequel is the one you need to watch.

    Alien Earth Series one review.
    2025/09/27
    Host, author, and screenwriter CJ Aggett dives into Noah Hawley's "Alien Earth" series. We analyze why the phenomenal cast - especially Timothy Olyphant's mysterious Kirsh - saved the show, but why the Xenomorph felt completely defanged.

    Did the series trade pure horror for corporate dystopia, and was that the right creative choice?

    This 6/10 review breaks down the character arcs, the script's structure, and the missing element of primal terror that defines the original films.
