Well, “Knots Untie” did what it was supposed to do: introduce us to a new location, some new (potentially important) characters, and set our heroes down the path to a confrontation with Negan. But man, was this a boring episode of The Walking Dead. Now, as I have discussed here previously, I love it when […]
“Taken” was a solid Arrow episode from a character perspective. There were a number of wonderful moments strewn throughout the episode that gave us greater insight into our main characters, and the writers weren’t afraid to take Oliver Queen to task for his pretty awful and insular behavior throughout the last several seasons. However, as […]
Agent Carter served up another two episodes where everyone struggled to gain the upper hand. Everyone wanted a piece of the pie whether is was zero matter, uranium, or just control. Because of this, everyone also had their own agenda, which made it hard to keep track of who wanted what. In the first episode, […]
After I reviewed Better Call Saul’s season premiere, I read the interview between Alan Sepinwall and co-creator Peter Gould that addressed some of my problems with the episode. I expected to find insight that would make me reconsider my thoughts (or at least temper my criticism), but their dialogue seemed to confirm my biggest worry […]
It’s hard for me to breakdown what was wrong with “My Struggle II,” the “season” finale of The X-Files‘s event series because there are so many things to choose from. There was the stilted and laughable dialogue that not even the deftest among the show’s talented cast could save. There were the insane leaps in […]
I thoroughly enjoyed last night’s episode of The Walking Dead. It wasn’t a great episode, but “The Next World” managed to capture many of the things that make the series strong. We were introduced to a new potential threat in the form of Jesus, we were given the chance to learn a bit more about Spencer […]
“Welcome to Earth-2” was a real eye-opener for me. I’m used to TV shows vacillating in quality as they continue, but Team Flash’s journey to Earth-2 was the one that said these stupid choices weren’t exceptions to the rule, but the very construction of the show. How else can you explain Barry appealing to Killer […]
“Code of Silence” wasn’t Arrow‘s finest hour of this season, but it was a perfectly fine episode. And, considering the show’s spotty track record, I’m going to classify this one as a win. I really enjoyed getting to spend so much time with Captain Lance (Paul Blackthorne has really been missed this season), the Demolition […]
I was really curious how they would set the direction for Better Call Saul’s sophomore season. After the thoughtful way they previously depicted Jimmy’s descent, I was frustrated with the definitive “he’s different now” note they ended things on last season, and I worried the showrunners only went for a second season because of the […]
During last night’s Marvel’s Agent Carter two hour event, things started with Peggy having it all during “Life of the Party,” but by the end of the second episode it looked like she’d lost everything to “Monsters.” Everything started out simple enough, with Jason Wilkes urging the team to find a way to make him tangible […]
