Adalind is one annoying character. Good thing she was only in one scene but now she and Viktor know exactly who took her baby. Unfortunately, this whole episode was full of one or two quick scenes like that. The pace moved too quickly and in one glimpse the clock turned from 9:00 to 9:52. The […]
“Rage of Caliban” injects a little Halloween flavor into the preponderance of holiday-centric Thanksgiving weekend programming. Capitalizing on one of the most reproduced and cheaply entertaining horror tropes in film and television, creepy kids, the episode delights in utterly silly and ridiculous scares making for a sufficiently enjoyable hour. It was originally intended to be […]
With similarities to Penguin’s Umbrella, Lovecraft fell short. In this episode, another assassin was introduced, a gun fight took place and Gordon is again facing the mayor. Victor Zsasz, assassin in Penguin’s Umbrella, was a better assassin than this new woman, although she did have mystery to her. That wasn’t the only thing wrong in […]
“Crossed” isn’t a great episode of The Walking Dead. But it wasn’t supposed to be. All “Crossed” had to do was set things up for the Rick-Dawn showdown that will end the first batch of season five episodes next week. And, in terms of its limited purpose, “Crossed” works pretty well. The gang has once again […]
Papa Midnite makes a prompt return to Constantine in the latest installment and this time he teams up with John in order to take down possibly the wackiest trifecta of ghosts ever put together (a listless, depressing hitchhiker, a tragically mutilated former model and a cancer patient) that are haunting separate areas of New Orleans. […]
Well, the way to retrieve Nick’s powers lies with Juliette. It would have been a shocker if Adalind didn’t already do it first. Cry Luison was a mixture of Alice in Wonderland and The Boy Who Cried Wolf. But only The Boy Who Cried Wolf came out on top. Like last week’s Dyin’ on a […]
The Legend of Korra continued this week with a real weird episode titled “Remembrances”. Yes, it’s a clip show and, yes, it’s Nickelodeon’s fault. Did I enjoy it? I guess? I mean it was well made and, for what they were given, it didn’t turn out as bad as it could have. But lets not […]
“Test of Strength” is a wildly uneven hour of American Horror Story: Freak Show, with a shaggy narrative and varied tone, it provides some engaging moments, but fails to come together and form a cohesive hour. Aside from an early scene in the Mott household, the episode deals mainly with the characters of the freak […]
When writing a television episode there are, of course, a wide number of items a writer must take into account. But one of the most important is the axiom of “show, don’t tell.” Man, how I wish the writers of “Draw Back Your Bow” had decided to adhere to that rule. Perhaps then this would […]
Agents of SHIELD continued its strong second season this week with “The Things We Bury”. The trend of answering the show’s mysteries continued this week not to mention its sharp turn into dark town. I mean, it’s nothing too mind blowing, but for a show on prime time ABC, it went pretty far. Let’s get […]
