the tick fear of flying

Five Thoughts on The Tick‘s “Fear of Flying”

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 19, 2017 | Television

1. “Ah-ha, the inevitable confrontation.” “Fear of Flying” finally brings us a confrontation that has been building since the first episode. Arthur and the posh villain Ramses finally meet face-to-face, and Arthur’s long-running amateur detective job linking Ramses to the crime ring of still-living, breathing Terror is vindicated. There’s a sense that The Tick can […]

Cowboy-Bebop-Pierrot-le-Fou

Five Thoughts on Cowboy Bebop‘s “Pierrot le Fou”

By Matthew Garcia | Sep 19, 2017 | Television

Often, the best Cowboy Bebop sessions are the ones that aren’t directly about the crew. The show somehow finds deeper meaning and interest in its characters when they have to react to some new or weird or heartbreaking situation not directly involving them. This is a universe filled with all these lives adrift and so much […]

Marvels Spider-Man Sandman

Five Thoughts on Marvel’s Spider-Man‘s “Sandman”

By Kyle Welch | Sep 18, 2017 | Television

Last week’s episode of Spider-Man was me spending two days online trying to figure out when and where it had aired, the title of the show, and how I could possible watch it. I will give you a quick thought on that: there was no episode. So now, in addition to conspiracy theories and serial […]

By Nicholas Palmieri | Sep 14, 2017 | Television

Welcome back for another weekly review of Avatar! This week, the Fire Nation closes in on the Northern Water Tribe in the two-part season one finale. How do the episodes hold up? Here are my thoughts, and beware if you haven’t seen these: we’re in full spoilers territory. 1. The Spirit World, Fully Realized. Now […]

Mobile Suit Gundam Amuro Deserts

Five Thoughts On Mobile Suit Gundam‘s “Amuro Deserts”

By Alice W. Castle | Sep 14, 2017 | Television

After the revelation last week that Sayla is, in fact, Char’s sister and her commandeering of the Gundam to take her fight to the Zeon forces, this episode follows the White Base as they attempt to extract information from their Zeon prisoner. But that’s interrupted when they stumble upon one of M’Queve’s forward base! And, […]

The Clone Wars - The Hidden Enemy

Five Thoughts on Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ “The Hidden Enemy”

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 13, 2017 | Television

Star Wars: The Clone Wars relegates the Jedi to the b-story this week, and go deep into an espionage mission that reveals more about the mindset of the Clones than any prior episode. Truth enlightens the mind, but won’t always bring happiness to your heart 1. Espionage One element that this show, thus far, has […]

Young-Justice-Secret

Five Thoughts on Young Justice‘s “Secret”

By Kevin Gregory | Sep 13, 2017 | Television

Ahh, nothing says it’s not really summer anymore like the idea that we’re reviewing a frickin’ Halloween episode. Oh well, chronology is chronology. As part of our not so aptly titled Multiversity Summer Binge, here are our thoughts on the eighteenth episode that spins its wheels for Halloween and throws in a couple minutes to […]

Five Thoughts On The X-Files‘s “Young At Heart”

By Jess Camacho | Sep 12, 2017 | Television

With summer quickly approaching, pretty much every show worth watching is coming to an end. That makes the summer the perfect time to binge watch what you missed along with some old classics. That’s where the Multiversity Summer TV Binge comes from. One of my personal favorite shows ever is The X-Files, and it is my […]

the-tick-episode-4

Five Thoughts on The Tick‘s “Party Crashers”

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 12, 2017 | Television

This was probably the weakest episode of Amazon’s The Tick yet. For reasons I’ll highlight below, I’m not sure the Tick works as well as a parody of modern superhero cinema as it does as a colorful spoof of, say, ’80s Marvel and DC comics. With such a small offering of short episode, I’m afraid […]

Five Thoughts on Preacher’s “The End of the Road”

By Jaina Hill | Sep 12, 2017 | Television

It’s time to cross the River Styx, it’s time to face the music, it’s time for a new Preacher y’all! This is it, the season finale. Crank up that George Harrison, because here be spoilers for season two, episode thirteen, “The End of the Road.” 1. Angelville, where the magic of the south comes to life There’s been […]

Five Thoughts On: The Defenders “Fish in the Jailhouse”

By Michael Mazzacane | Sep 11, 2017 | Television

It’s a penultimate episode, the episode of maximum drama and no pay off. Defenders goes for maximum drama and falls well short of it in the execution. “Fish in the Jailhouse” was directed by Félix Enríquez Alcalá and written by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich & Marco Ramirez 1 Oh, Iron Fist – A Good Fight Now Danny using […]

Spawn

Five Thoughts on Todd McFarlane’s Spawn‘s “Souls in the Balance”

By Chris Neill | Sep 8, 2017 | Television

Al Simmons was your ordinary government assassin, until one day he was killed in the line of fire. Making a deal a demon lord named Malebolgia, Simmons is promised that he can return to Earth to see his wife Wanda but he must become a Hellspawn and serve in the demon’s army. Now Spawn has […]

Five Thoughts On Attack On Titan’s “Female Titan”

By Jaina Hill | Sep 8, 2017 | Television

It’s the Multiversity Summer TV Binge! Although I’ve never been what you would call an anime person, I’m a huge fan of Attack on Titan. I first fell in love with the subtitled version of the show, so I thought it would be fun to revisit the dubbed version. What along with me, but be warned, here […]

Five Thoughts on Avatar: The Last Airbender‘s “The Waterbending Master”

By Nicholas Palmieri | Sep 7, 2017 | Television

Welcome back for another weekly review of Avatar! This week, we finally reach the North Pole and meet Master Pakku. How does the episode hold up? Here are my thoughts. We be in spoiler territory. 1. Katara vs The Patriarchy. In all honesty, I feel that the first season as a whole leans heavily on […]

Mobile Suit Gundam Sayla's Agony

Five Thoughts On Mobile Suit Gundam‘s “Sayla’s Agony”

By Alice W. Castle | Sep 7, 2017 | Television

After a strange, kind of middling episode last week, we return with a bang as Mobile Suit Gundam starts to set up new conflicts and new adversaries for the White Base. As supplies run low, a detour puts the White Base on a collision course with Ramba Ral! We take a look at Mobile Suit […]

Star Wars The Clone Wars Trespass

Five Thoughts on Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ “Trespass”

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 6, 2017 | Television

After what I felt was a pretty dull misfire last week, this week’s “Trespass” was a really wonderful bottle story about imperialism, the true role of the Jedi, and the brutality of war. Arrogance diminishes wisdom 1. A different setting While there is certainly precedent for having a snowy Star Wars adventure, this show, thus […]

ashes-ashes

Five Thoughts On:The Defenders “Ashes, Ashes”

By Michael Mazzacane | Sep 6, 2017 | Television

And the elliptic structure of Defenders strikes again as the series goes from a high to a sorta middling episode. For a series that operates on a 24 condensed structure, there sure is a lot of waiting around. “Ashes, Ashes” was directed by Stephen Surjik Written by Drew Goddard & Marco Ramirez 1. Elektra Flashback […]

Young-Justice-Disordered

Five Thoughts on Young Justice‘s “Disordered”

By Kevin Gregory | Sep 6, 2017 | Television

Welcome back to our Young Justice coverage as part of the Multiversity (still for a few weeks) Summer Binge.

Let’s dive in! […]

Five Thoughts On Preacher’s “On Your Knees”

Get some whiskey from the barkeep and plan out your next murder, it’s time for a new Preacher y’all! There’s nothing scarier than the Saint of Killers, so this week we’re spending an entire episode with him.
