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 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 […]

Agents of SHIELD "Rise and Shine"

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Rise and Shine”

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 2, 2018 | Television

The plot thickens as we learn more about Hale, Ruby, and Hydra’s plans. So what’s does this mean for the SHIELD team? What does this mean for the future that seems inevitable? And will this connect to the next “Avengers” movie at all? Read on and see. 1. Never Hurt the Dog The easiest way […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “Still Gotta Mean Something”

By Gregory Ellner | Apr 2, 2018 | Television

It’s “Still Gotta Mean Something,” but there’s no heroes left on this week’s episode of The Walking Dead. 1. Heaps of It It says a lot about this episode that, aside from Carol, Negan is the only person in the plot who seems to actually be able to think rationally and have a decent set […]

Five Thoughts On Jessica Jones‘s “A.K.A. I Want Your Cray Cray”

By Jess Camacho | Apr 2, 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 seventh episode, the halfway point, the show decidedly positions itself as what it is. […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “The Thanatos Guild”

Krypton House of El

Five Thoughts on Krypton‘s “House of El”

By Alan Buxbaum | Mar 29, 2018 | Television

This episode of Krypton is used to set up the storyline and plot of the series more than anything, as we do not see to much action or development. At the forefront is Adam Strange needing to convince Seg-El that his claims about Seg’s grandfather are true and that Brainiac is coming. We also learn […]

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “The Noose Tightens”

By Elias Rosner | Mar 29, 2018 | Television

Welcome back all you Riverdale fans. We’ve got a doosy for you all this week. Tensions are high, plots are moving, questions are…well, there’s only one question I have left and it wasn’t answered. Oh! And we’ve got a lot of connections to previous events in the season so maybe, maybe my theory about the […]

Star Wars the Clone Wars Hunt for Ziro

Five Thoughts on Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ “Evil Plans” and “Hunt for Ziro”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 28, 2018 | Television

After a couple of Ahsoka-focused episodes, The Clone Wars decided it would be best to do a throwaway droids episode, followed by a jokey Ziro the Hut episode. Huh? 1. “Evil Plans” This droids-centric episode didn’t leave me with too much to say about it. I understand why these shows exist; this is a bone […]

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

By Jess Camacho | Mar 28, 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 sixth episode, a huge bombshell gets dropped at the end and Trish continues to […]

Five Thoughts on Black Lightning‘s “Sins of the Father: The Book of Redemption”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Mar 28, 2018 | Television

This week Thunder decided to look into Gambi’s discovery of an ASA facility containing all the metahuman children who went missing in the ’80s, with disastrous (though fortunately not fatal) consequences. With the ASA abducting the children they’ve empowered once more, Jefferson asked Jennifer to lay low with Anissa while he sought to find out […]

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

By Vince Ostrowski | Mar 27, 2018 | Television

“The Beginning of the End” is a pretty weighty title for a comedy show. We know the show has been picked up for a 10-episode 2nd season already, so there’s little fear that we won’t see these characters (or this column) again. The finality of it is an illusion, and if you peek ahead, the […]

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “I, Ava”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Mar 27, 2018 | Television
