In the cliffhanger for the midseason finale of The Flash, Barry fast forwards into the near future, where he sees his lady love Iris skewered by the villainous speed god Savitar. The midseason premiere episode “Borrowing Problems From The Future,” picks up right where that last episode left off with Barry having nightmares of Iris’s […]
This week on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the androids kept multiplying, but did the real May finally “Wake Up”? Did Radcliffe’s secret finally come to light? Those and several other questions were answered as the team continued to battle an internal virus of sorts. This episode opened showing the real May’s perspective of the last […]
The Supergirl showrunners undoubtedly wanted their midseason premiere to be out of this world, and, on a literal level, they accomplish that goal. Much of the episode takes place off-world (although the CW production values still scream sound stage) as Supergirl and Mon-El are stuck on a planet with a red sun that neutralizes the […]
On this week’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Aida storyline was put on the back burner as everyone asked, “What’s in the briefcase?” It may not have been the most suspenseful episode, but it definitely set a lot of things up for the rest of the season. Let’s take a look at who was “The […]
It’s been a few weeks since we last saw the S.H.I.E.L.D. team, but this week’s episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. picked up right where we left off, with Aida on the loose. Of course there were a few other things going on, but that one was the most notable for obvious reasons. Let’s dive […]
I’ll admit I wasn’t particularly excited to start in on my One Day at a Time screeners, mostly due to my limited knowledge of the series on which it is loosely based. But by the time I finished watching all 13 episodes of the first season Monday night, I was so glad I had. It’s […]
After three years producing original content, Amazon is finally starting to emerge from Netflix’s shadow as a source of great television content. While the streaming site has had a critical hit with the much lauded Transparent, the network’s other shows haven’t had the flash that Netflix seems to get out of nearly every one of […]
It’s no secret that I haven’t particularly enjoyed this season of The Walking Dead. And I know I am not alone in my assessment, if my conversations with friends and fellow critics can be believed. “Hearts Still Beating,” while actually taking steps to advance the season arc, was not a successful episode due to all […]
After participating in the Invasion! crossover last week, The Flash picks up the plotlines that were already in progress and wraps them up somewhat neatly in this mid-season finale. We get the origin stories for Julian Albert/”Dr.” Alchemy and the vaguely Transformer-ish Savitar. Cisco continues to grapple with his grief over his brother’s death, while […]
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has a history of cliffhanger midseason finales, but that streak may have ended. “The Laws of Inferno Dynamics” wrapped up nicely and with a pretty good hint at what is coming in the second half of the season. It might not have been the most exciting ending, but the Ghost Rider […]
