Legends of Tomorrow Beebo the God of War

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “Beebo the God of War”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Dec 6, 2017 | Television

After last week’s crossover, the midseason finale of Legends of Tomorrow could’ve slowed down, but instead delivered a jam-packed Yuletide episode with the crew fighting Vikings over a Furby rip-off and more emotional changes to the roster. 1. Ghosts of Future Past Stein’s departure weighed heavily over the episode, but it refused to be overly […]

Five Thoughts On Runaways‘s “Kingdom”

By Jess Camacho | Dec 6, 2017 | Television

Five episodes into Runaways and they still haven’t run away. I’m keeping count. However, by completely going its own way, this might be the best show Marvel has given us to date. This episode makes the lives of all these characters even more complicated with pasts revealed and a big twist at the end. Let’s jump into […]

The Flash Don't Run

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Don’t Run”

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 6, 2017 | Television

We have made it to the mid-season finale of The Flash and, while the show has added some new characters and made some relatively large changes to the status quo, it feels pretty stodgy and unmotivated moving into its hiatus. 1. I still don’t understand why DeVoe is such a dick Over the past few […]

Five Thoughts on The Gifted: “outfoX”

By Kate Kosturski | Dec 5, 2017 | Television

Good thing we had a X-Break last week. Lordy, there was a lot to digest. Andreas and Andrea von Strucker are related to Reed! Oh, and Reed’s dad has mutant powers! And so did Reed until Dad gave him some experimental drug to make them go away! The question now facing our dramatis personae and […]

Five Thoughts on Supergirl‘s “Reign”

By Elias Rosner | Dec 5, 2017 | Television

Whew, last week’s crossover was a doozy. I can’t wait to find out how it affects the sh…oh. They don’t even acknowledge the wedding. Welp. I shouldn’t be surprised but, here I am, complaining about it. I wish they held some narrative weight so that the character work done in the crossover could have some […]

Lucifer-The-Sinnerman

Five Thoughts on Lucifer‘s “The Sinnerman”

By Kevin Gregory | Dec 5, 2017 | Television

After taking a week off we are back with more Lucifer as the plot gets rolling a little bit, Tom Welling gets out of the hospital (yes I do plan to continue to refer to him as Tom Welling rather than Pierce, he is playing Tom Welling), and the Sinnerman arrives. Let’s dive in! 1. […]

Five Thoughts on Gotham‘s “Things That Go Boom”

By Elias Rosner | Dec 5, 2017 | Television

Welcome back all you Gotham fans to the wackiest show on Earth . . . or at least the FOX network. After having come off of the CW’s big ol’ crossover, I thought I’d take a break from the melodrama and instead just watch some good ol’ batshit insanity. It had been a few weeks […]

Five Thoughts on DuckTales‘ “The Impossible Summit of Mt. Neverrest!”

By Justin Beeson | Dec 4, 2017 | Television

DuckTales is back! And luckily, it’s pretty great. I’m a big fan of the original series, and even watched the sort-of-a-reboot, Quack Pack, that came out in the mid-90s. So, let’s dive in! In this week’s episode, Scrooge and the gang skip Christmas and set out to reach the summit of the “impossible” Mt. Neverrest. […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “Time for After”

By Gregory Ellner | Dec 4, 2017 | Television

In “Time For After,” things turn out a little better than the previous episode, mostly through a character focus. Unfortunately, that does not mean it was actually all that good either. 1. Eugene’s Descent This episode showcases Eugene Porter’s descent into his role as a key Savior, willing to do anything he needs in order […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s “Orientation” Parts 1 and 2

By Robbie Pleasant | Dec 4, 2017 | Television

S.H.I.E.L.D. is back! And after getting through several weeks of Inhumans, the return is more than welcome. Last season ended with a surprise trip to space, and now we get some answers, some twists, and a start to a new season’s plot. 1. S.H.I.E.L.D. IIIIN SPAAAACE! After a brief introduction recapping us to the last […]

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “Tales from the Darkside”

By Ken Godberson III | Nov 30, 2017 | Television

Hello. Hope you had a good Turkey Day. Unless you don’t celebrate that wretched holiday. Good for you. Shame Riverdale didn’t have a Turkey Day ep. It could’ve been immensely over-the-top, involve have a turkey killed on screen, and even more of the cast being creepy. Anyway, on with the discussion! 1. Tru Crime: The […]

Five Thoughts On Runaways‘s “Fifteen”

By Jess Camacho | Nov 29, 2017 | Television

We’re at episode four of Runaways and the kids still haven’t run away. Believe it or not, that’s actually great. “Fifteen” inches us closer to that but dives deeper into the mess that’s become these characters’ lives. While not a faithful adaptation, this might be the best show Marvel has given us to date. Let’s jump into […]

Two Weddings and a Funeral: A ‘Crisis on Earth X’ Conversation, Part 2

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet, Elias Rosner and Brian Salvatore | Nov 29, 2017 | Television

It’s over! The four-part CW crossover that brought Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow together for ‘Crisis on Earth-X’ came, saw and conquered. Our three regular reviewers of these series – Elias Rosner (Supergirl), Christopher Chiu-Tabet (Legends of Tomorrow), and Brian Salvatore (The Flash, Arrow) – gathered to talk about the first two […]

It is here! The four-part CW crossover, bringing Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow together for ‘Crisis on Earth-X’ is here, and we are set to talk about it. Gathered together, like our own make-shift Justice League, are our three regular reviewers of these series: Elias Rosner (Supergirl), Christopher Chiu-Tabet (Legends of Tomorrow), […]

Five Thoughts on The Punisher‘s “Two Dead Men”

By Kate Kosturski | Nov 28, 2017 | Television

If the premiere of The Punisher was our introduction to Frank Castle, then “Two Dead Men” broadens that introduction to include the larger government mystery/conspiracy surrounding Frank. Forces within and outside the government want answers, and so does Frank. Is our government still the same one that, as Frank’s daughter states in flashback, “represents everything […]

Five Thoughts On Runaways‘s “Destiny”

By Jess Camacho | Nov 27, 2017 | Television

In two episodes, Runaways has set itself apart from its comic book counterpart in a way that has given it a life of its own without stepping on the legacy of that series. It’s a show that takes all that’s great about teen dramas and combines with just the right amount of superhero fueled conflict to become […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “The King, the Widow, and Rick”

By Gregory Ellner | Nov 27, 2017 | Television

After several episodes of good momentum, “The King, the Widow, and Rick” shows us how marvelously “The Walking Dead” can completely lose said momentum and make an episode of bad decisions and infighting. 1. The King: Reluctance of Leadership For the first part of the title, Ezekiel’s role in the episode isn’t really all that […]

Arrow Thanksgiving

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Thanksgiving”

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 24, 2017 | Television

Since when do shows have new episodes on Thanksgiving? I know that this episode featured a turkey dinner and a fair amount of bad puns, but it is still an odd choice to make, no? But hey, at least it had a repurposed Billy Joel cameo, right? 1. Pressure I am impressed by the show’s […]

Five Thoughts On Runaways‘s “Rewind”

By Jess Camacho | Nov 24, 2017 | Television

The first episode of Runaways was in my view, a real success. Now that the show is off and running, does the second episode keep the momentum going? In short, yes. “Rewind” is a risky episode but thanks to streaming, its placement makes a ton of sense and gives the parents the spotlight. Let’s jump into this […]

Five Thoughts on Gotham‘s “Let Them Eat Pie”

By Nicholas Palmieri | Nov 23, 2017 | Television

What’s up, party people? Looks like it’s my turn to jump on the Gotham train. I watched the first few episodes way back when they first aired but jumped off once I realized that Barbara Not-Gordon never left her (admittedly lavish) apartment, not because she was agoraphobic, but because the writers had literally no idea […]

Legends of Tomorrow Welcome to the Jungle

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “Welcome to the Jungle”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Nov 22, 2017 | Television

This week, the Legends discovered Gorilla Grodd threatening to ignite the Cold War in Vietnam, 1967. Let’s dive in: 1. Vietnam Vietnam is not something that looms large in the British consciousness, given we wisely avoided that conflict, but its spectre is inescapable in American film and television (coincidentally, Full Metal Jacket was on TV […]
