Nothing says an hour of fun like an X-Files comedy episode centered around a suicide bomber cell! After two strong episodes, The X-Files once again took a major misstep with “Babylon.” Yes, there were some fun moments to be had within the episode, but at the end of the hour I was left scratching my […]
If you’re someone who watches The Walking Dead for your weekly does of adrenaline-filled Rick Grimes walker killing, then “No Way Out” was an episode tailor-made for you. If you prefer your Walking Dead episodes with some interesting character beats, forward plot movement, and walker attacks that create genuine fear as to whether or not […]
So this week’s episode of Black Sails was definitely a little bit faster paced, but not by much. The crew of the Walrus has now been captured by a colony of former slaves on an island in the middle of nowhere, and Charles Vane has to get off the island of Nassau because England put […]
As well as things have been going for Arrow of late, I knew the other shoe had to drop eventually. That isn’t to say that “Sins of the Father” was a bad episode- it wasn’t. But the episode’s final moments gave a pretty good idea of where things are headed on the series, and I’m […]
I never expected to be so frustrated with The Flash. Since the beginning of the season, I have written about the same issues week after week, and week after week I write about the little bit of hope I have for the next episode. There’s always something that makes it look like the series is […]
This week on ABC’s Agent Carter, things heated up with a heist and a race to disarm a bomb in “The Atomic Job.” Luckily, it didn’t end in an explosion. The episode started abruptly with Jason Wilkes waking Peggy up in the middle of the night with a new a zero matter discovery. Apparently zero matter […]
So it was bound to happen. After a solid start to this season of Black Sails, there had to be one episode just chock full of story progression. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good episode, it was just a lot slower than the first few and at one point had me pausing it […]
This was, on all fronts, a really strong episode of The X-Files. If push came to shove, I would say I enjoyed “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster” more, but “Home Again” packed an emotional punch that I wasn’t sure the series was still capable of at this point in its life. And a large […]
Arrow is a show that drives me absolutely nuts. For nine episodes this season, the series wavered between barely watchable and just plain boring. Now, in the back stretch of the season, Arrow is on a roll, churning out taut, smart, and fun episodes. “Unchained” managed to capture many of the elements that make Arrow […]
When thinking of what score I should give an episode, a benchmark for me has been “The Flash of Two Worlds,” the second episode of the current season. The episode had some really awful moments (Martin Stein’s frustrating explanation of the multiverse, most notably), but it was able to compensate with a strong second half […]
