It’s always a risk when an episode takes a break from the main story to focus on a side plot that’s been sitting in the background, especially so close to the end of the season. “Underneath” takes this risky approach with mixed results. We certainly didn’t need an episode focused entirely on Oliver and Felicity’s […]
The title of the episode, “I Know Who You Are,” may call to mind a 90’s horror classic but in fact it references the climactic moment in which Savitar’s secret identity is finally revealed. Because we as Flash viewers have been (impatiently) awaiting this revelation for several weeks now, I’ll go ahead and say who […]
On this episode of Marvel’s Agent’s of S.H.I.E.L.D., the gang said, “Farewell, Cruel World!” to the Framework, but it wasn’t easy. It was actually the opposite of that, but at least they made some progress with just two more episodes of the season left. The episode was focused on getting everyone to the backdoor of […]
My relationship with Season 2 of Supergirl has been one marked by frustration, the sort of frustration that a teacher might feel toward a talented yet underachieving student. You know that the show can do better if it just applied itself instead of wasting all its time on a bad boy with a heart of […]
It’s the penultimate episode of The Last Kingdom’s second season, setting up its storylines for a big finale and what the stakes will be. The Saxons have recaptured an abandoned Lundun (modern day London) from the Danes but it was a ploy so the Danes, led by Erik and Sigefrid could launch a surprise attack on the […]
“Thin Ice,” the third episode of Doctor Who‘s tenth season, has The Doctor and Bill visit the last Thames Frost Fair in 1814 – only to find out there’s a giant creature lurking beneath the icy surface of the river. It seems that the theme of the tenth season of Who so far is “great […]
If you are a major fan of Neil Gaiman’s novel “American Gods,” and have been jonesing for a faithful adaptation, you are going to really love Bryan Fuller and Michael Green’s new adaptation of the story (which premieres on Starz on Sunday, April 30th). If you haven’t read Gaiman’s novel, well, you’ll probably be a […]
In what is the first episode in recent memory to not feature Prometheus as the central plot, “Dangerous Liaisons” does a well enough job to keep things interesting, fast-paced, and relevant. Yes, everything that happened was ultimately a result of Adrian Chase and the manhunt that’s been ordered against him. But, that gave Felicity and […]
In my review for “Abra Kadabra,” the last episode of The Flash that aired before the show took a month-long sabbatical, I lamented the dark direction the series was heading in. With that in mind, I came into “The Once And Future Flash” hoping that the showrunners would have course corrected and make the show […]
This week on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “All of Madame’s Men” struggled to put her back together again after May decided to join the resistance. It wasn’t a very exciting episode, but it definitely helped move the plot into the perfect place to start wrapping up the season. The episode started with May finally coming […]
