Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “Back to Normal”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 27, 2016 | Television

A de-powered Barry Allen tries to deal with life as a normie, and we see the Flash team conspire to murder someone! 1. Emo Barry I know how off I feel when I’m a little under the weather, so I can’t imagine being Barry Allen post-speed loss. It has to be a huge bummer, not […]

Agents of SHIELD The Singularity

Five Thoughts of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s “The Singularity”

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 27, 2016 | Television

Daisy is now under HIve’s control, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is in a tight pinch. How do they get out of it this week, and what’s next for the ever-dwindling team in their battle against constantly-growing threats? 1. Memories in the Corner of Hive’s Mind It was established a few episodes back that Hive maintains the memories […]

Legends of Tomorrow Last Refuge

5 Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow’s “Last Refuge”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 22, 2016 | Television

In an episode that felt, at times, like the penultimate episode of the season (spoiler alert – there are still four more), Legends of Tomorrow tried to up the stakes to previously unseen heights and, while succeeding, also basically tap danced on the grave of realistic storytelling. 1. Michael, eh? For those in the know […]

The Flash Versus Zoom

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “Versus Zoom”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 20, 2016 | Television

In two seasons of The Flash, there has rarely been an episode that felt like a major misstep. Well, until last night. 1. Zoom is a lonely Hunter This episode was a series of moments that were conceptually ok, but executed in ways that just felt forced. Having Zoom, Hunter Zolomon, have a story that […]

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Team

Five Thoughts on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s “The Team”

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 20, 2016 | Television

The Secret Warriors assemble! For all of ten minutes. Then it’s distrust, paranoia, and more than a few bad decisions that all lead up to a big twist and bigger disaster for the team. 1. Secret Warriors in Action Yes, the long awaited Secret Warriors team has finally come to fruition. Daisy and Lincoln unite […]

Supergirl Better Angels

Five Thoughts On Supergirl’s “Better Angels”

By Alice W. Castle | Apr 19, 2016 | Television

Well, we’ve finally reached that moment: the finale of Supergirl‘s first season. We’ve come a long way since we first saw our first look at the show and the show has come even further since the first episode. I wouldn’t hesitate to say that, despite its ups and downs, this has been one of the […]

Legends of Tomorrow The Magnificent Eight

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow’s “The Magnificent 8”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 15, 2016 | Television

Legends of Tomorrow has never shied away from high concept, and this week is no exception – in fact, this is probably the most ridiculous episode yet, in both good and not so good ways. 1.Everyone in Hollywood loves a western I can’t think of a genre that gets more love from creative types than […]

Agents of Shield Paradise Lost Featured

Five Thoughts on Agent’s of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s “Paradise Lost”

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 13, 2016 | Television

Secrets, backstories, and plot development! Where shall this week’s episode take us? 1. Civil War: Hydra Edition Flashbacks in the episode reveal that Malick’s Hydra and Whitehall’s Hydra were vastly different. While Whitehall was more “classic evil Nazi-esque” Hydra (a Hydra Classic, if you will), Malick’s schtick was more “worship an alien being that’s stuck […]

Supergirl Myriad

Five Thoughts On Supergirl’s “Myriad”

By Alice W. Castle | Apr 12, 2016 | Television

After taking a week break, we’re back with the penultimate episode of Supergirl‘s first season. After teaming up with The Flash to stop Livewire and Silver Banshee and tongue wrestling with Jimmy Olsen, Kara found everyone but her had seemingly been turned into mindless zombies. With Myriad in full effect, we’re racing towards the finale […]

Legends of Tomorrow Progeny

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow’s “Progeny”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 8, 2016 | Television

Legends of Tomorrow sort of did a whole episode about whether or not you should go back in time and kill baby Hitler, because this is 2016. 1. Baby Mama (and past lives) drama The show committed a few weeks back to the Kendra/Ray relationships, and there are a few quirks to that. The biggest […]

Arrow Eleven Fifty Nine

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Eleven Fifty Nine”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 7, 2016 | Television

I’m going to do my best to review the episode chronologically, because the ending really does change the complexion of the entire episode, season, and series. Be warned that spoilers follow. 1. Make the City Great Again One of the first scenes of the episode took place at Mrs. Dahrk’s acceptance speech after winning the […]

Agents of SHIELD Spacetime

Five Thoughts of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s “Spacetime”

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 6, 2016 | Television

While failing to save a homeless Inhuman, Daisy gets a glimpse of events yet to come. Can the future be changed, or are we all acting out a play predetermined by destiny? 1. Timey-Wimey Stuff I love thinking about time travel or what it means to see or know the future; it raises so many […]

Legends of Tomorrow Left Behind

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow’s “Left Behind”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 1, 2016 | Television

The return of Legends of Tomorrow has just about everything you’d want from the show – twists, time travel, romance, betrayal, and lots of weird DC Easter Eggs. Strap in, folks. 1. Time Wave? Fire Master? OK, so this was an amazing reveal, right? It makes a lot of sense, it was a legitimate surprise, […]

Star Wars Rebels Twilight Of The Apprentice

Five Thoughts On Star Wars: Rebels’ “Twilight Of The Apprentice”

By Alice W. Castle | Mar 31, 2016 | Television

Well, that time is finally here: the Star Wars: Rebels Season Two finale. It’s been a long time coming, hasn’t it? A long journey to get us here. And what a season it’s been. I was pretty critical of the first season feeling very safe and, in a few places, pretty boring, especially compared to […]

Arrow Beacon of Hope

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Beacon of Hope”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 31, 2016 | Television

Arrow does a lot of good things in this episode, but at its center has a huge problem, and that is this week’s adversary. 1. Bug Eyed Bandit: 2nd Episode, Totally Wasted We’ve seen her before, over on The Flash, but Emily Kinney returns to her role as the Bug-Eyed Bandit on Arrow, and all […]

The Flash: Flash Back

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “Flash Back”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 30, 2016 | Television

The Flash doubles down on the time travel, the murkiness of the timeline, the malleability of its characters, and the intelligence/gullibility of Eobard Thawne. 1. Time Travel Wackiness What I like about this show is that they are unafraid to go bold with time travel. Sure, everyone knows the pitfalls of it, and it isn’t […]

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Watchdogs

Five Thoughts on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’S “Watchdogs”

By Robbie Pleasant | Mar 30, 2016 | Television

1. Who Watches the Watchdogs? We were given a little foreshadowing about the Watchdogs organization a few episodes ago, when Daisy mentioned them as a radical group with a more or less “kill all aliens” philosophy (and you’re more than welcome to draw your own social/political parallels from that). Well, now we get to see […]

The Flash Supergirl World's Finest

Five Thoughts On Supergirl’s “World’s Finest”

By Alice W. Castle | Mar 29, 2016 | Television

Oh my god, this is exactly what I needed right now. After coming out of seeing Batman V. Superman feeling more depressed that I have in months (and that’s saying something, being someone who deals with depression daily), I desperately needed something to make me feel good about myself and about superheroes. Well, along comes […]

Arrow Broken Hearts

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Broken Hearts”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 24, 2016 | Television

After a few weeks off, Arrow is back, and picking up right where we left off: with Ollie in triumph over Darhk’s arrest, and in despair over his breakup with Felicity. 1. The Return of Cupid The show keeps showing clips/referencing Cupid saying “I’m Cupid, stupid,” and while I recognize that this is ‘a thing,’ […]

Star Wars Rebels Mystery Of Chopper Base

Five Thoughts On Star Wars: Rebels’ “Mystery Of Chopper Base”

By Alice W. Castle | Mar 24, 2016 | Television

After last week’s less than stellar episode (which I actually like less and less the further we move away from it), Star Wars: Rebels decides to make it up to me with an excellent penultimate episode of their second season. With the Rebels getting situated on their new base and Kanan and Ezra preparing to […]

Agents of SHIELD Parting Shot

Five Thoughts on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s “Parting Shot”

By Robbie Pleasant | Mar 23, 2016 | Television

As the Inhuman arms race escalates, S.H.I.E.L.D. finds itself in a precarious position. A mission gone wrong, a coup to stop, and two agents now with their lives in peril. Will everyone get through with their lives intact? And more importantly, will this effectively lead in to a spinoff series? 1. Inevitable Spinoff Setup Let’s […]
