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 […]

Agents of SHIELD The Devil Complex

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “The Devil Complex”

By Robbie Pleasant | Mar 26, 2018 | Television

With all that’s happened this season, to call a single episode “the darkest yet” would really be saying something, but this episode is certainly a strong contender. So let’s see what made this episode so dark, and what made it work. 1. Traumas “Trauma” would certainly be a key phrase of this episode. More than […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “Do Not Send Us Astray”

By Gregory Ellner | Mar 26, 2018 | Television

It is unclear if the writers of The Walking Dead yet know the lesson of “Do Not Send Us Astray,” but in episodes like this one, at least they seem to be good at acting like they do. 1. Clearing the Air After so long of Morgan Jones just running around killing people any time […]

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

By Jess Camacho | Mar 26, 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 fifth episode, Jessica is in jail, Trish gets ambushed, and a trip to the […]

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “Primary Colors”

By Elias Rosner | Mar 22, 2018 | Television

Welcome back all you Riverdale fans. This week we have the return of fan favorite Barbara, er, I mean, Ethel Muggs. OK, maybe she’s just my favorite of the third-tier characters but I missed her and all the rest of the side characters that float in and out of this season. Plus, she plays a […]

Krypton Pilot

Five Thoughts on Krypton‘s “Pilot”

By Alan Buxbaum | Mar 22, 2018 | Television

The pilot for Krypton is an enticing beginning to what we’re all hoping will be a successful prologue to the rich history of Superman. This episode did a good job of building a world familiar in concept but still needs a fair amount of fleshing out in order for it to feel personal and real. […]

Star Wars The Clone Wars The Academy

Five Thoughts on Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ “The Academy” and “Assassin”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 21, 2018 | Television

For the first time in 2+ seasons, I’m finally starting to get why people are so in on Ahsoka. This week’s double shot of her adventures was a ton of fun. 1. Mandalore as a major player Thus far on the show, we’ve seen the same planets be important as we’ve seen in the films. […]

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Mar 21, 2018 | Television

Five Thoughts on The Tick‘s “Risky Bismuth”

By Vince Ostrowski | Mar 20, 2018 | Television

This was a big turning point episode for the show, dovetailing all of the principal plot points together finally under the shade of a- well, a giant set of pixelated male junk. We find out the true nature of The Terror’s plot, Superian’s ultimate weakness, what’s going on with the Very Large Man, and Dr. […]

Lucifer-The-Last-Heartbreak-Featured

Five Thoughts on Lucifer‘s “The Last Heartbreak”

By Kevin Gregory | Mar 20, 2018 | Television

Flashbacks and serial killers, more Cain backstory, more Charlotte stuff, more Maze spiraling makes for a pretty coherent episode. Let’s dive in! 1. Couples who die together, stay together The episode opens with a fun flashback sequence, a thing we’ll get to and which the episode refers again to, and we get a bit from […]

Five Thoughts On Jessica Jones‘s “A.K.A. God Help The Hobo”

By Jess Camacho | Mar 20, 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. The fourth episode of the second season leaves Jessica in a really vulnerable place at the […]

Agents of SHIELD Principia

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Principia”

By Robbie Pleasant | Mar 19, 2018 | Television

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “The Key”

By Gregory Ellner | Mar 19, 2018 | Television

As Season 8B of The Walking Dead continues, the season’s corpse continues to rot much like those of the Walkers in “The Key.” 1. A Key Without Teeth For all of the hype the modified weapons are getting, we saw exactly none of them actually get used on the first mission out that involved them. […]

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

By Jess Camacho | Mar 19, 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. The third episode continues the trend of the first two – slow with little reveals here […]

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Corruption

Five Thoughts on Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ “Sphere of Influence” and “Corruption”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 16, 2018 | Television

As The Clone Wars progresses, there sometimes appears to be a more developed plot that links the episodes together. Then, there are episodes like these, which simply shine a light into corners of the galaxy otherwise ignored. Let’s dig in. 1. Greedo, shot first Finally, what we’ve all been waiting for: a Greedo story! What…you […]

Arrow Doppleganger

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Doppleganger”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 16, 2018 | Television

This review was supposed to go up last Friday, but my family was in the midst of a three-day power outage, so it had to wait. Is the episode worth the wait? Dig in and find out! 1. Roy! Aside from some really shitty CGI in the 100th episode, it’s been a minute since we’ve […]

By Elias Rosner | Mar 15, 2018 | Television

The Flash Run Iris Run

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Run, Iris, Run”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 14, 2018 | Television

Last night’s The Flash was an episode borne out of two questions: 1) what would Iris be like as a speedster, and 2) how can we actually stop DeVoe? We got answers to both, but I don’t know if either was really satisfactory. 1. Iris wants to show Ralph that she gets it My biggest […]
