By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – November 10, 2019) EPISODE 4: IF YOU DON’T LIKE MY STORY, WRITE YOUR OWN (Lindelof/Christal Henry, Andrew Parekh) So, first thing’s first, the character of Lady Trieu is awesome. It’s another dynamic personality that has a no-nonsense approach, at least in how she treats others. The opening sequence with the…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – October 20, 2019) EPISODE 1: IT’S SUMMER AND WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF ICE (Lindelof/Kassell) In this day and age in pop culture and escapist entertainment, the Head and Shoulders ad campaign taken from a popular saying always springs to mind. You only get one chance to make a first impression,…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – October 20, 2019) Look… Tennessee showed up in Tuscaloosa as I thought in a best case scenario they might: as a team with nothing to lose that could play free, because the expectations were non-existent. An ugly game officiated by guys that wanted to be stars… an ugly game because…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – October 13, 2019) No formalities, that was a horror show a few weeks before Halloween even gets here.

I’m not even going to write a lengthy intro. Let’s get to it. Here are the Big 6 Takeaways from whatever the heck that was we…… more
By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – September 15, 2019) Well, that’s one you let slip away. That’s what you have to be thinking if you’re in that locker room as a Tennessee Titan, because that’s a football game you could have and should have won.
