It’s hard to believe we’re almost halfway through the second season of Bomb Girls! Of course this time last year, we only had one episode left to go, so I take solace in the fact that we currently have about half a dozen episodes left to go this time around. If last week was…

Catching up with Ali Liebert
Back when Sue and I were so lucky to visit the Bomb Girls set (man that was a fantastic day!), we were also lucky enough to be able to chat with some of the cast who were around that day. We were introduced to the amazing Ali Liebert, who we had only spoken with…
Bomb Girls S02E04 – Guests of Honour
One of the best shows on television continues to call it like it is, refusing to pull their punches, making sure that the characters that inhabit this recreation of 1940s Toronto are suitable reflections of real-life. There is no good guy or bad guy, they are all painted in shades of grey, and we…
Bomb Girls S02E03 – The Enemy Within
This was a tough episode. Not that it was hard to watch, or anything of that sort, I mean emotionally tough. It could very well have been called Sacrifices, because we see that each of our characters, and even our nation made sacrifices to get through the war. Losing none of the momentum that…
Bomb Girls S02E02 – Roses Red
Last week’s episode brought our best gals back to Victory Munitions, and reintroduced new viewers to the world of Bomb Girls. This week, as our characters are finding their ways back to who they are, and where they are supposed to be, we realize that even as things are coming together, and we’re seeing them as…
Bomb Girls S02E01 – The Quickening
Bomb Girls is back, and seeing it after having spent time on the set just makes me smile all the more, and despite the fact that I know that they were sets, the series somehow seems increasingly real to me now, perhaps because I have walked through those places we see in this episode….
Current TV Shows I Most Enjoy – Part I
I was going to try and come up with a clever title or gimmick for this, like Sue’s Top 12 of 2012, or something. But I didn’t want to restrict myself with a number, and the fact is, one of the reasons we started the Mind Reels was because we felt that things we loved…
Back Alley Films
We love Bomb Girls here at The Mind Reels, and we’ve been very lucky to interview a number of the creative folks who have been involved with it, Jodi Balfour, Ali Liebert, Charlotte Hegele, Meg Tilly, and Michael MacLennan. Now we can add two more wonderful people to that roster – co-creator/co-show runner/producer of the series…
Michael MacLennan
It’s no lie that Sue and I were completely enchanted with the series of Bomb Girls. We’ve had some wonderful chats with the cast of the show, and now we’re taking a look behind the show with one of the show’s co-creators, the awesome Michael MacLennan. We met Michael for a couple of drinks and…
Bomb Girls: Episode 6 – Element of Surprise
Knowing that this episode was only the end of Season 1 and not the series certainly made it easier to get through. If this had been the last time I was to find myself in the company of Betty, Gladys, Kate, Lorna, Vera, Bob and Edith then I’m not sure I would’ve watched the episode…
