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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Krypton The Rankless Initiative

Five Thoughts on Krypton‘s “The Rankless Initiative”

By Alan Buxbaum | Apr 6, 2018 | Television

While still entertaining, this was probably my least favorite episode of Krypton so far. Seg’s and Lyta’s respective roles were too predictable. Overall, the episode seemed to be a necessary thread in the story, but I found there to be a lack of action and a slower build to the plot than necessary. I am […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Brothers in Arms”

By Michael Mazzacane | Apr 6, 2018 | Television

The dissolution continues as Oliver and Diggle come to blows over the mission of the team they helped found. Meanwhile, Ricardo Diaz is busy taking over. “Brothers in Arms” was directed by Mark Bunting and written by Sarah Tarkoff and Jeane Wong 1.

Five Thoughts on Legion‘s “Chapter 9”

By Vince Ostrowski | Apr 5, 2018 | Television

We’re entering a maze. A narrator with an instantly recognizable & handsome baritone welcomes us to what is sure to be an unforgettable luncheon of the mind. The sun beats down on a pair of familiar characters as an empty martini is magically replaced with full one by the hand of a vanishing waiter. The […]

The Clone Wars Heroes on Both Sides

Five Thoughts on Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ “Heroes on Both Sides” and “Pursuit of Peace”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 4, 2018 | Television

This week, The Clone Wars decided it was time to start giving some motivation and characterization to the Separatists, and the results are mostly satisfying. 1. Some background While the show never gets into the super specific minutia as to what caused the conflict, “Heroes on Both Sides” does a nice job illuminating the viewer […]

Five Thoughts on Black Lightning‘s “Black Jesus: The Book of Crucifixion”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Apr 4, 2018 | Television

Jefferson Pierce is nicknamed Black Jesus, so it was inevitable he’d get arrested by murderous enemies during Passover. Let’s dive in: 1. Kara Following on from last week’s stunning reveal, Jefferson’s own vice-principal Kara was tasked with orchestrating his arrest and capture by the ASA. We didn’t get in any insight into Kara’s backstory this […]

Five Thoughts on The Tick‘s “The End of the Beginning”

By Vince Ostrowski | Apr 3, 2018 | Television

And so, season 1 of Amazon’s The Tick comes to an end, in earnest this time. While I do have a quibble or two that I’ll mention in this column, it’s really satisfying to see this show succeed over the course of a season. Ben Edlund’s Tick has been a property that has endured for […]

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “Guest Starring John Noble”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Apr 3, 2018 | Television

Golly this was a packed episode of Legends of Tomorrow, with Mallus one change to the timeline away from being freed. Let’s jump in: 1. Barry Obama So the episode starts with a bang, with the Cult of Mallus sending Grodd to kill a young Barack Obama to bring about Mallus’s arrival. (By the way, […]

Five Thoughts On Jessica Jones‘s “A.K.A. Ain’t We Got Fun”

By Jess Camacho | Apr 3, 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 eighth episode, Jessica and Alisa get reacquainted and Trish goes too far. Let’s jump […]
