There have been a few key themes this season on The Walking Dead, but none more important than fear. Time and again throughout the past seven episodes, we have heard about how characters are afraid, seen how other characters have harnessed their fear (with Morgan as our best example of both how this helps and […]
The gang’s all here this episode of Da Vinci’s Demons! The original crew, Leo (Tom Riley), Zo (Gregg Chillin), Nico (Eros Vlahos), and Vanessa (Hera Hilmar), finally reunite in Florence. But this much-needed character reunion is not under the happiest of circumstances. Leo’s just been through hell and back. He thinks that in order to […]
One of the continual joys of watching The Returned is trying to solve the show’s central mystery: why are people coming back from the dead. Each week offers a small tidbit that might explain where these people came from and why they are here. But it has been incredibly slow going- the slowest of slow […]
“Brotherhood” was a perfectly fine episode of Arrow. It hit all the right beats, gave us a bit more about how Damien Darhk fits into the picture (beyond his role as this season’s big bad), brought Merlyn back to town (FINALLY), and gave David Ramsey a chance to stretch is acting abilities (and prove he’s […]
Zoom’s confrontation with Barry Allen left something to be desired, but it was still an important moment for the series. All of the time The Flash had put into explaining the multiverse, introducing new characters, and building up Zoom was given some kind of validation, and I was worried the show would slow down too much […]
On this week’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode “Many Heads, One Tale” we finally got some good old fashioned teamwork, as well as a much needed history lesson. Let’s take a closer look at what we learned in episode 3.8, . After weeks of separate missions and a team member literally being on another planet, we […]
Last week, I decided to give Supergirl one more episode to win me over. Time to figure out its characters, determine how to talk about feminism and real issues intelligently. Whatever. I was just looking for a demonstration of the show simply working. And I thought if any episode could do it, one with an […]
Last night’s episode of The Walking Dead was meant to do two things: develop the characters of Daryl (who despite being a fan favorite, really hasn’t seen all that much character development over the course of the series), Sasha, and Abraham, and introduce us to a terrifying and troubling threat living 20 miles away from […]
This emotional episode of Da Vinci’s Demons explores a nightmarish alternate reality. Show creator David S. Goyer told TV Insider that “The alternate reality is a glimpse of Leo’s future 10 years hence. A future that might be, that could still be, if certain choices are made. In some aspects, it’s a terrible future—but on […]
The Returned did something particularly interesting with “Morgane.” Rather than present an episode that revealed something completely new about the title character (or, as has been the case this season, introduced a new character into the already crowded canvass of the season), “Morgane” was a tool to explore more of Lucy and Milan’s past. Seeing […]
