Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s latest episode, “Spacetime,” proved that you really can’t change the future no matter how much you really really want to. The team of agents were given their hardest task yet, which involved an Inhuman that could see the future, a choreographed fight scene, a one-way mirror, and some ashy snow. This […]
The balance between its multiple storylines is sometimes really off with Better Call Saul. When it ignores Jimmy’s problem-ridden transformation it can be refreshing, an unfortunate statement on the need for Season 2. But I feel like the show too often splits what would normally be in one episode into two. This could be because it’s hard […]
Well, that was utterly disappointing, wasn’t it? After months of hyping of the arrival of Negan, and weeks of the show’s cast claiming “Last Day on Earth” was going to be a groundbreaking moment of change for the show- perhaps the most disturbing episode of The Walking Dead to ever air, we were treated to […]
This was strange Arrow episode for me, in that it wasn’t particularly interesting but still managed to achieve its secondary goals. While the villain of the week (or, rather, returning villain of the week) left me cold and the main thrust of the episode was pretty dull, “Beacon of Hope” was able to spotlight the […]
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s latest episode, “Watchdogs,” served as a nice change of pace with a new location, some new characters, and fresh challenges. It was definitely needed after last episode’s emotional goodbye to Hunter and Bobbi. The episode started off with Mack arriving at his childhood home in Illinois to visit his brother, Ruben […]
When I mentioned last week that placing the focus back on Jimmy would bring back every problem I had with his story, I didn’t expect the result to be as awful as “Inflatable.” The episode finally brought an end to Jimmy’s time at Davis & Main, but by continuing to mischaracterize Jimmy, it served as […]
Anime series can be well-known for comedy, particularly revolving around sex, and teenage angst. The adaptation of Sankarea: Undying Love provides plenty of that – giving us a fun zombie rom-com. Chihiro Furuya is a horror fanboy (or otaku, if you will) who fantasizes about having a zombie girlfriend. He lives with his father, sister […]
The Walking Dead has a problem. Well, it has several problems, but it has one major problem that is quickly turning the show into a chore to watch: its strings are showing. Now, to some extent, all shows telegraph their narrative moves a bit. It’s rare that a show can manage to pull off a […]
“Broken Hearts” was an Arrow episode that did its job and not much more. It moved Darhk behind bars, yet gave us a hint that (surprise!) he might not be out of tricks. Felicity put a stake through Oliver’s heart once and for all by extricating herself from his life at every level, even as […]
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. taught everyone a little something about sacrifice in the emotionally charged episode, “Parting Shot.” As it turns out, characters don’t have to die in order to exist on the show in a meaningful way. The episode started innocently enough, with Bobbi and Hunter hot on the heels of Malick and his […]
