The Clone Wars Altar of Mortis

Five Thoughts on Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ “Overlords,” “Altar of Mortis,” and “Ghosts of Mortis”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 19, 2018 | Television

Well, shit. That was something. The Clone Wars does their most ambitious arc yet, even if at the end it all might have been…well, not what it appeared to be. Keep reading. 1. Qui-Gon! Much like Darth Maul, I knew at some point Qui-Gon was going to show up in Force Ghost form, and I […]

Krypton House of Zod

Five Thoughts on Krypton‘s “House of Zod”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 19, 2018 | Television

Krypton’s fifth episode sheds much light on the House of Zod (as the title of the episode would make one suspect). We learn more about Jayna-Zod’s brutal history, Seg’s attempt to survive and find his way out of the wastelands, and that there is indeed another lesser known religious group around who pray to Cythonna […]

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “A Night to Remember”

By Elias Rosner | Apr 19, 2018 | Television

Welcome back all you Riverdale fans and do I have a treat for you. A little bit of mystery, a little bit of HOLY SHIT, and a whole lot of autotune awaited us this week. I might spend a little bit of this article prematurely gloating so please excuse my indulgence. Although, considering the episode […]

legion chapter 11

Five Thoughts on Legion‘s “Chapter 11”

By Vince Ostrowski | Apr 18, 2018 | Television

The episode may be titled “Chapter 11”, but Legion hasn’t gone creatively bankrupt yet. Sorry about that. But seriously, this week’s episode did have a couple uncharacteristic missteps, but on the whole it continues to be a fascinatingly straightforward heroes journey for David. As always, there will be spoilers, so please watch the episode before […]

The Flash Lose Yourself

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Lose Yourself”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 18, 2018 | Television

The CW shows have a real knack for being able to up their game when need be, and can take what feels slight and make it far more impactful in a short amount of time. This week’s The Flash dealt with a number of threads being sewn together in a really effective way, and set […]

Black-Lightning-Shadow-of-Death-Book-of-War

Five Thoughts on Black Lightning‘s “Shadow of Death: The Book of War”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Apr 18, 2018 | Television

Black Lightning‘s season 1 finale saw our hero stuck in a coma after last week’s brutal assault, the ASA hunting the metahuman girl (Jennifer) spotted at Garfield High, and Tobias Whale making good on his promise to betray Martin Proctor. But did it make for a satisfying last episode before going on a hiatus? 1. […]

Five Thoughts On Jessica Jones‘s “A.K.A. Pork Chop”

By Jess Camacho | Apr 17, 2018 | Television

Going into its second season, Jessica Jones was probably the series with the biggest question mark. Jessica Jones is not a character with a long history so it will be interesting to see what the show chooses to do and be. In the tenth episode, the fall out from calling the cops on Alisa is huge and […]

Lucifer-The-Angel-of-San-Bernardino

Five Thoughts on Lucifer‘s “The Angel of San Bernardino”

By Kevin Gregory | Apr 17, 2018 | Television

And just like many other live-action adaptations of comic book properties, Lucifer season three has a villain problem, among some other things. Good moments this week, sunk by small parts of the episode. Am I saying the same thing every week? Let’s dive in! 1. Sex at work? This sort of has nothing to do […]

5 Thoughts on Supergirl‘s “Schott Through the Heart”

By Elias Rosner | Apr 17, 2018 | Television

Welcome back all you Supergirl fans. How’ve you been these last couple months? Have you missed my wonderful words? I know I’ve missed writing about Supergirl. Despite all my gripes, there’s a good show under there somewhere and damn does this episode prove it. This might be one of my favorites. So, put your cape […]

Five Thoughts On Jessica Jones‘s “A.K.A. Shark In The Bathtub, Monster In The Bed”

By Jess Camacho | Apr 16, 2018 | Television

Going into its second season, Jessica Jones was probably the series with the biggest question mark. Jessica Jones is not a character with a long history so it will be interesting to see what the show chooses to do and be. In the ninth episode, Jessica gains and loses something precious and Trish continues to go off […]

Agents of SHIELD The Honeymoon

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “The Honeymoon”

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 16, 2018 | Television

No introduction is necessary this time, as we’ve got a lot to look over. So let’s check out the latest episode and see what new goodies this season gives us. 1. Fantastic Fight It’s no secret that I’ve been a little disappointed with many of the previous fight scenes this season, but recent episodes have […]

The Walking Dead 8x16 Featured

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “Wrath”

By Gregory Ellner | Apr 16, 2018 | Television

As the shambling corpse of this show makes its way toward a season finale, is it worthy of our “Wrath?” Let’s see. 1. Death of Logic The only real casualty in this entire episode is logic in and of itself. First, we’ve got Rick, who suddenly had a complete change of heart at complete random, […]

Arrow Fundamentals

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Fundamentals”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 13, 2018 | Television

After a few weeks off (thanks, Mike!), I’m back with a review of tonight’s Arrow. Let’s dig in. 1. The last man standing Who’d have thought that Quentin Lance would be the last ally Ollie has? Sure, by episode’s end, his situation with Felicity had worked it self out to some degree, but Quentin has […]

Krypton World of Rao

Five Thoughts on Krypton‘s “World of Rao”

By Alan Buxbaum | Apr 12, 2018 | Television

In Krypton‘s fourth episode, our focus is brought to Kryptonian politics, the Seg-Lyta-Nyssa love triangle, and Ona’s journey to becoming one of Roa’s younger disciples. This chapter in the series was mostly devoted to developing the landscape of Krypton and fleshing out the power-dynamic while Braniac’s impending arrival creeps forward in the background. While there […]

Clone Wars Nightsisters

Five Thoughts on Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ “Nightsisters,” “Monster,” and “Witches of the Mist”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 11, 2018 | Television

A triple shot of Ventress episodes make up this week’s offerings. Let’s dig in! 1. Origin(s) I’m not going to bury the lede: I really, really enjoyed these episodes. Ventress is one of the more interesting characters the show has produced, and this episode really dug in its heels and made you pay attention to […]

legion chapter 10

Five Thoughts on Legion‘s “Chapter 10”

By Vince Ostrowski | Apr 11, 2018 | Television

The second episode of “Legion” Season 2 features more of the same stuff we liked from the season premiere: Jon Hamm narrating a parable on nature vs. nurture, time-traveling weirdness, and a showy genre setpiece as a metaphor for telepathic combat. As always, if you haven’t seen the episode yet, this column will be filled […]

The Flash Null and Annoyed

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Null and Annoyed”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 11, 2018 | Television

The Flash returns! After a mini-hiatus, the show continues towards the inevitable confrontation between Team Flash and the Thinker. Let’s dig in! 1. Ewww Askew Kevin Smith has directed his fair share of CW-verse shows – this episode marks his sixth – but this episode felt the most over the top Smith-ian of the bunch. […]

Five Thoughts on Black Lightning‘s “The Resurrection and the Light: The Book of Pain”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Apr 11, 2018 | Television

Tobias Whale and Khalil returned with a vengeance this week, hatching a scheme with the ASA to capture Black Lightning. Let’s get to it: 1. Closing the mystery box Proctor lays out exactly what happened with the vaccine the ASA used in Freeland during the ’80s, clarifying the kids it was killing and those metahuman […]

Legends-of-Tomorrow-Good-the-Bad-and-the-Cuddly

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “The Good, The Bad And The Cuddly”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Apr 10, 2018 | Television

Almost everyone from this season (and Jonah Hex) came back for this smorgasbord of a finale, where the freed Mallus (Malice? Alice? Doesn’t matter) takes control of Julius Caesar, Blackbeard and Freydís, and has their forces lay siege to the Legends in Jonah Hex’s town. (Hey, those reused costumes keep the budget down, ok?) As […]

Agents of SHIELD: Inside Voices

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Inside Voices”

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 9, 2018 | Television

There’s plenty to unpack this episode. The plot keeps moving in several directions, characters and plot points from seasons back are brought in again, and we get some great moments from characters all around. So without further ado, let’s use our inside voices and see what this episode gave us. 1. The Gravity of the […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “Worth”

By Gregory Ellner | Apr 9, 2018 | Television

Today, we’ll be dealing with “Worth,” the most recent of the episodes for The Walking Dead. Does it have any? Let’s see. 1. SuperCarl IV: The Quest for Peace As has been a repeated, almost obnoxiously overstated part of Season 8B, Carl Grimes is brought up yet again, this time to talk more about the […]
