With the way in which The Walking Dead structures their season, I suppose I should have expected “Rock in the Road” to be heavily laden with exposition. And, normally, I’m someone who is asking for more dialogue and less over-the-top blood and gore. But man, was “Rock in the Road” a dull hour of television. […]
When Humans premiered its first season in 2015, it was a pre-Westworld television landscape. The ratings for season one were modest, but strong enough for AMC to sign-on for a second season (the series is co-produced with the UK’s Channel 4, where the series was a much larger hit). I enjoyed the first season of […]
Before I dive into the fun, flashy insanity of Legion‘s pilot, “Chapter 1,” I want to start with a disclaimer. While the X-Men were my comic drug of choice growing up, I tended to stick to the more mainstream stories and characters, and I haven’t delved into the less-known stories, such as Legion. That being […]
Things got a little crazy on this week’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it all started with a bang, or should I say a “BOOM.” The episode opened with a pretty big reveal. Coulson and Mack were in Spain looking for someone, but it wasn’t clear who, until we saw her face. It was the […]
The partnership between the Flash and Kid Flash is an accepted part of DC Comics canon, so it’s only natural that The Flash TV series would follow in its (metaphorical) footsteps. It took the showrunners awhile to reach this stage, as they seemed strangely reluctant to have Wally use his powers after reacquiring them during […]
In 1950, The Martian Chronicles, a short story collection by the incomparable Ray Bradbury about human colonists on Mars, was published. In 2017 “The Martian Chronicles,” an episode of Supergirl by Gabriel Llanas and Anna Musky-Goldwyn about a White Martian attack, aired on the CW. Titles aside, this week’s episode of Supergirl has little in […]
I’m gonna start this out by saying I have never read Archie Comics and therefor am completely uneducated with this universe. The only thing I knew going into Riverdale was that it’s about high school students named Archie, Veronica, Betty, and Jughead. I assumed there was a love triangle in there somewhere and I had […]
Regular readers of my reviews of The Flash can testify that I haven’t exactly been the biggest fan of HR Wells. OK, I’ll admit it: I can’t stand the guy. From the moment he became part of Team Flash this season, his cloying, eager-to-please geek/hipster persona has been hard to take. It was as if […]
The Darkhold up for grabs on this week’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., an important turning point, but what direction did it go in? Titled “Hot Potato Soup,” it was clear that the S.H.I.E.L.D. team isn’t great at playing hot potato. Let’s hope they have a successful mission again soon. The episode opened with the Koenig […]
In the year-plus since Supergirl debuted, the show has slowly yet surely built a repertoire of costumed characters to support the star. In “We Can Be Heroes,” we see two of those supporting players come to the fore: Mon-El, the Daxamite bad boy with a heart of gold and the Guardian, otherwise known as Supergirl’s […]
