My 2 Cents on gen:LOCK – Episode 5, “The Best Defense”
This is an enthralling entry with a focus on character development for a traumatized gen:LOCK recruit, the gen:LOCK process itself, and a battle with an increasingly enigmatic Union mech.
My 2 Cents on gen:LOCK – Episode 4, “Training Daze”
This is the best episode so far, packing in everything that I wanted to see with the enthralling team dynamic, a focus on Valentina's gender-fluidity, and mecha action that starts out entertaining before it takes a sharp left turn into suspense.
My 2 Cents on Professor Marston and the Wonder Women
The origin of the first major female hero in a comic book, polyamory, feminism, BDSM, even the invention of the lie detector — Professor Marston and The Wonder Women packs in all this and more, spreading itself thin half the time but nonetheless succeeding as a biopic as powerful and receptive as its trio of lead actors.

My 2 Cents on gen:LOCK, Episode 2, “There’s Always Tomorrow”
Telling the truth of Julian Chase's apparent death and the gen:LOCK program, focusing on his estranged relationship with his former girlfriend, widening the cast with a motley team of recruits, boosting the action with a Union spy — this episode advances the web series forward in spite of a few dubious plot devices.
My 2 Cents on gen:LOCK, Episode 1, “The Pilot”
If gen:LOCK can develop its characters and its mech-filled world well, I can easily see it become as enthralling as RWBY.
My 2 Cents on RWBY: Volume 6
In between bits of slow pacing and questionable plot devices, RWBY: Volume 6 lights up with the passionate heart of its characters as they pursue an extreme example of the rocky cross-country trip.
