The pacing of the first two episodes of Legion had been rather frenetic, which had been a big boon to making the show unlike anything else on television. “Chapter 3” slows things down a considerable amount and deliberately goes about filling in a lot of the holes from previous episodes. Actually, it’s surprisingly conventional storytelling, […]

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “Camelot / 3000”

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 22, 2017 | Television

This is either the best Legends of Tomorrow episode in a few weeks, or I’m just getting numb to what they are doing, and so this seems like an improvement. 1. The time-displaced JSA The best parts of this season have been those that involved the Justice Society of America, and I’m not just saying […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Attack on Gorilla City”

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 22, 2017 | Television
