This week’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. brought us blue aliens, betrayed friendships, and lost hope in “Failed Experiments.” The title says it all, as the episode was laden with multiple tests for the characters that all ended in the worst ways possible. The episode started with my least favorite type of scene, a mythology flashback. We […]
That Red God is really something, isn’t he? Now that Game of Thrones has finally given us all exactly what we’ve been waiting for since the season five finale, perhaps the writers could check another item off our list and finally put an end to Ramsay? Because I’m so sick and tired of everything about […]
If the Arrow writers were hoping to craft a loving tribute to the character of Laurel Lance with “Canary Cry,” they missed the mark pretty spectacularly. If they were trying to put together a hour that packed in a lot of disjointed storytelling and swung through a gamut of emotions without really getting to the […]
Everything has finally started coming together on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The past two seasons had some pretty bland episodes establishing Inhuman characters, but all that hard work has paid off as it gets closer to the season three finale. In “The Singularity,” we learned more about Hive’s capabilities and what that means for S.H.I.E.L.D. […]
Guess what, everyone? Jon Snow is really, most sincerely dead. Now that we have confirmed that what the cast, crew, and creative team behind Game of Thrones have been preaching since the end of Season 5 is true, let’s unpack the heaps of exposition we were given this week. Oh, and that really intriguing look […]
This episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. started out as a rescue mission and ended with another trap and a fallen agent. Even though the title of the episode was “The Team,” everything fell apart. The episode started innocent enough with Daisy’s Secret Warriors on their first mission to rescue the rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. […]
It has been a long, torturous season of Better Call Saul. When I first started reviewing the show, I assumed we were in a weird and temporary transition phase. The showrunners clearly didn’t think they would be coming back for another season, and I figured they would just reset Jimmy’s character before starting things off […]
This week on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. we got two backstories that nobody asked for in“Paradise Lost.” We were shown what happened in Malick’s past that made him into the grumpy man he is and we got a look at what Lincoln was like before he got his powers. Both stories were just as boring […]
“Nailed” was a pretty definitive litmus test for the quality of Better Call Saul. As someone who loved the episode’s Season 1 counterpart, “Pimento,” I wondered if whatever scene or moment of intensity the creators devised would allow me to ignore my problems with Season 2. If the show gave me something equivalent to Jimmy […]
It’s a strange day when Arrow manages to deliver on a character death better than The Walking Dead, but “Eleven-Fifty-Nine” was a tour de force that gave Laurel (and Katie Cassidy) a heck of a send-off. Arrow spent its first two and a half seasons not really knowing what to do with Laurel, especially once […]
