The 21st century has developed into a great time for comic book movies, especially for Marvel Comics’ characters and Batman. Within the past few years, television has begun catching up, too. After rocky starts, Arrow and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have turned into good shows. This week marks the debut of the new series The Flash, […]
Everyone’s favorite hooded vigilante returned for this third season on Wednesday, and man, was “The Calm” anything but. The episode contained all of the best aspects of the series: Felicity being awesome, the Arrow fighting in epic battle sequences, Detective/Captain Lance offering up witty repartee, and little to no Laurel/Thea.

After a highly uneven first season, The Strain fizzles out in its final hour with an underwhelming episode. “The Master” is not the epic, action-packed blowout that many of us thought it would be, or hoped it would be, really. Instead it is just another episode plagued by the all too familiar narrative tropes and […]
