With each episode, the excuses are running out for Supergirl. The pilot had to progress so quickly to establish Kara as a hero in her own right. “Stronger Together” had to make Kara petty and stubborn in order to prove she was a hero to herself. In contrast, “Fight or Flight” didn’t really have any […]
Giving some much needed support to Director Coulson and his team, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has cast Mark Dacascos as Giyera, the head of security for the titular organization. Though Dacascos’ casting was initially mentioned in a synopsis for the eighth episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s third season, “Many Heads, One Tale,” Deadline reports that the […]
I was really interested in seeing what Supergirl would bring to the table this week. If I’m being honest, the only thing that resonated with me from the premiere was Melissa Benoist’s Kara Zor-El, and I wanted the series to demonstrate the reasons why I should continue watching (without the excuse of being a pilot […]
Are there too many superhero shows? It’s a question that has been raised frequently in recent years, with the premiere of Supergirl on October 26 once again starting the debate. But too often the discussion centers on the idea of a superhero bubble that must eventually pop. People don’t have the money, or the interest, […]
Kara Zor-El is all too often overshadowed by her Kryptonian cousin, but last night’s premiere of Supergirl hoped to prove why she’s deserving of the spotlight. Luckily, though the pilot has problems typical of the superhero genre, Melissa Benoist makes an otherwise average episode something truly special. Easily the best part of the premiere is […]
For an hour-long piece of exposition, “The Candidate” pretty much did it’s job. While last week’s season premiere was tasked with introducing us to Damien Darhk, this week was all about setting up conflicts that will continue throughout the first half of the season. And, aside from the rather weak plotline involving Jeri Ryan’s Jessica […]
After last year’s uneven season, I will admit I was less than enthusiastic about reviewing Arrow once again this year. Having loved the show’s first two seasons, I was really let down by the lack of cohesive storytelling in season three (and don’t even get me started on those flashbacks). But, after reading through a […]
Fear the Walking Dead‘s freshman season was, on the whole, uneven. Out of six episodes, only last week’s penultimate episode really left me excited to see where things might go in this particular sector of the zombie apocalypse. After watching “The Good Man,” I’m more than a bit worried about where the show will take […]
Many people are talking about the new season of DC Comics shows on the CW – Arrow, The Flash, and the new series Legends of Tomorrow. However, although it has flown under the radar somewhat, there is another show in the DC-CW partnership – Vixen, about the former Justice Leaguer Mari McCabe (who can adapt […]
Hot on the heels of news that DC’s Legends of Tomorrow had started filming, we now have our first image of Hawkgirl and Hawkman, courtesy of The CW. In Legends of Tomorrow, Hawkgirl (aka Kendra Saunders) and Hawkman (aka Carter Hall) are reincarnations of ancient Egyptian royalty reborn generation after generation. With the power of the Egyptian Hawk […]
