There were some elements of “The Climb” that worked really well. There were other elements that didn’t. So, in that regard, “The Climb” was a fair representation of the first half of Arrow‘s third season: uneven. The crowning achievement of the episode was, as promised, the fight between Ra’s and Oliver. After all, if you […]
Guys. Agents of SHIELD had their mid-season finale this week with “What They Become”. It’s good. Don’t want to bury to the lead, but there it is. It’s exciting, we get sweet sweet answers, there’s some bittersweet moments, and most of all: promises for the future. The only downside? We have to wait three months […]
Saint Nick saves Christmas and he did it without cutting off heads. The Christmas spirit is in the air, so I try to be as objective as possible. Although, there is no way this episode can’t invoke the holiday joy in anyone else. These goblins (with a little Grinch inside of them) delivering themselves to […]
The Legend of Korra continued this week with the excitingly titled “Operation Beifong”. This episode had a bunch of solid earth bending, a reappearance of an old character, and a reveal most of us should have seen coming a mile away. Was it especially good or especially bad? I don’t know. It was just… more […]
With “Blessed are the Damned” Constantine weaves an engaging narrative that seems to be heading towards an interesting and dark direction before rerouting to an all too familiar and expected resolution. John and Zed make their way to investigate a shady snake preacher dude in the south who has started performing all kinds of crazy […]
American Horror Story: Freak Show returns from a brief break with two shocking deaths and not much else. An uneven and tedious hour, “Bloodbath” has its good moments but its few highs do not make up for the predominantly and disappointingly mediocre episode. The hour begins with perhaps the most engaging story thread, that of […]
Wow. Is it too late to just have the Arrow and Flash team up every week? And, if we can get that, is it possible to have them face off against Captain Boomerang a few more times? Because this was one of the best Arrow episodes I’ve seen in a while. The epic Arrow–Flash crossover […]
Agents of SHIELD returned from its holiday hiatus this week with “Ye Who Enter Here”, and what an episode it was. We got a huge reveal, some interesting foreshadowing, and, of course, more Patton Oswalt. Lots more. We’re swimming in Oswalts. Unfortunately, we had to go without more of Skye’s Dad, but that’s the price […]
This is one of those times I’m glad I wait until the morning after to start writing my episode reviews, because had I written this review immediately following the harrowing events of last night’s Walking Dead midseason finale, I likely would have been blinded by the emotional fallout of Beth’s untimely death and ignored some […]
The Legend of Korra continued its fourth season this week after its clip show break with “Beyond the Wilds”. It was a pretty solid return to the plot. We got to see an old favorite, some plot lines are tied up anticlimactically. There are some cool spirit world visuals. We weren’t overexposed to a bunch […]
