Five Thoughts on Battlestar Galactica‘s “Lay Down Your Burdens Part 1”

By Liz Farrell | Aug 13, 2020 | Television

There comes a time where events in our lives become too much; where the desire to lay down our burdens overwhelms anything and everything: logic, rational thought, even science, and this is where the fleet is at in this penultimate episode of season two of Battlestar. 1. Presidential debates If we’ve learned anything in the […]

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 12, 2020 | Television

Well, season one of Stargirl is in the books. I wrote about the macro of the season on Monday, so this review will be purely focused on what happened in the final 40 minutes of this season. Let’s dig in. 1. Sticking the landing No hour of TV, especially not CW-level TV, is ever truly […]

Adventures of Superman Flight to the North

Five Thoughts on Adventures of Superman‘s “Flight to the North”

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 11, 2020 | Television

This is the 63rd episode of Adventures of Superman that I have reviewed for Multiversity Comics. In this season alone, I’ve seen episodes about time travel, an anti-superstition society, and Perry White thinking that he’s seeing the actual ghost of Caesar. Yet none of that could have prepared me for “Flight to the North.” 1. […]

Fire force episode 10 featured

Five Thoughts on Fire Force‘s “The Promise”

By Rowan Grover | Aug 11, 2020 | Television

This time around on Fire Force, we see some new plot aspects emerge with a new story arc while some more dust themselves off and reappear for their time in the spotlight. There’s some more great Eighth company antics, some worldbuilding, and even a hint as to where Shinra’s brother might be! Let’s take a […]

Five Six Thoughts on The Umbrella Academy‘s “The Swedish Job”

By Kate Kosturski | Aug 11, 2020 | Television

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The Hargreeves kids are still their same weird selves, but the world around them? Even more weirder than before.

Five Thoughts on Wynonna Earp’s “Look At Them Beans”

By Corrina Lawson | Aug 10, 2020 | Television

It seems like I waited forever for season 4 of Wynonna Earp and here we are at episode three, “Look at Them Beans” in what seems to be the blink of an eye. The wait has been worth it. So far, Team Earp seems to have destroyed a wintry Eden that was nothing like Paradise, […]

Lower Decks Episode 1

Five Thoughts on Star Trek Lower Decks‘s “Second Contact”

By Liz Farrell | Aug 10, 2020 | Television

When we first see the U.S.S. Cerritos on screen, it’s basically an inverted version of the U.S.S Enterprise, which is the best way to describe the action of this new Star Trek series; inverted from what we’ve come to expect from Trek. 1. Cool, Scrappy Underdogs Here we are in the year, 2380, not long […]

Howdy, fellow humans who are definitely not robots who just think you’re humans, and welcome to our review of HBO’s science fiction series, Westworld. The first season finale takes us to the center of the maze, and leaves us questioning the very existence of sentient consciousness. There will be heavy plot spoilers for episode ten […]

Five Thoughts on Fringe‘s “The Dreamscape”

By Quinn Tassin | Aug 9, 2020 | Television

Welcome to Multiversity Comics’ Summer Binge of Fringe, a series that Parks and Recreation’s own Ben Wyatt once called “airtight.” “The Dreamscape” is a solid step forward for the show that builds mythology and character in big, clear ways. It’s title is definitely mumbo jumbo that’s only sort of related to the story though. 1. […]

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Sorrowful Successor

Five Thoughts on Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure’s “The Last Ripple” and “New York’s Jojo”

By Greg Lincoln | Aug 7, 2020 | Television

“The Last Ripple” (or “The Last Hamon,” depending on translation) marks the end of the first story arc, ‘Phantom Blood.’ In it, Hirohiko Araki neatly ties up the few hanging plot threads including the oft more than hinted at romance between Jonathan and Erina and the final fate of the Stone Mask. Sadly what feels […]

Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Wax Patrol”

By Dexter Buschetelli | Aug 7, 2020 | Television

It’s something of a bittersweet week to review Doom Patrol as we end its second season with an uncertain future. The show likely is the only widely-agreed-upon good thing to come out of the DC Universe streaming (and more) app has neither been canceled or renewed. The double-dipping here would also seem to not bode […]

By Robbie Pleasant | Aug 7, 2020 | Television

It’s a brand new day, and the sun is high, all the birds are singing S.H.I.E.L.D.’s gonna die. Dr. Horrible references aside, yes, there is a fair amount of death in this episode. With that comes spoilers so tread carefully as we look at season 7, episode 11 of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 1. Kora […]

Adventures of Superman Magic Necklace

Five Thoughts on Adventures of Superman‘s “The Magic Necklace” and “The Bully of Dry Gulch”

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 6, 2020 | Television

These two episodes take Clark, Lois, and Jimmy out of Metropolis, which allows for stereotypes and caricatures to run wild! 1. How did they carry around that poison?

Five Thoughts on Battlestar Galactica‘s “Downloaded”

By Liz Farrell | Aug 6, 2020 | Television

1. Collective Unconscious The media we produce reflects where we are as a culture during a specific period of time: our triumphs, our worries, our fears, our ambitions. When this season of Battlestar came out in 2006, the concept of downloading information wasn’t quite as ubiquitous as it is today. This series explores what it […]
