Five Thoughts On: The Defenders “Take Shelter”

By Michael Mazzacane | Sep 4, 2017 | Television

“Take Shelter” was directed by Uta Briesewitz and written by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, Douglas Petrie & Marco Ramirez 1. This Is A Pretty Good Episode If you were to count “The H Word” as something of a prologue, more of a mood piece than a traditional episode, “Take Shelter” might just be the single best […]

Welcome to our review of the nineteenth episode of Batman: The Animated Series. In this episode a new villain named Nostromos is trying to swindle Gotham’s rich out of all their money by pretending to be able to see the future. 1. A Weird Episode I titled a section on each of the episodes from […]

Five Thoughts on Attack on Titan’s “What Needs to be Done Now”

By Jaina Hill | Sep 1, 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 Northern Air Temple”

By Nicholas Palmieri | Aug 31, 2017 | Television

Welcome back for another weekly review of Avatar! This week, we visit the Northern Air Temple. How does the episode hold up? Here are my thoughts. 1. Progress vs Preserving a Culture. This episode’s primary theme has recently come to the front of American minds: that of preserving a culture which is no longer relevant, […]

Mobile Suit Gundam Cucuruz Doan's Island

Five Thoughts On Mobile Suit Gundam‘s “Cucuruz Doan’s Island”

By Alice W. Castle | Aug 31, 2017 | Television

After missing a week because of ill health, I’m back to look at an episode with an interesting history in Mobile Suit Gundam. As Amuro discovers as seemingly deserted island, he’s confronted a Zaku unlike any other piloted by a man that will rock Amuro’s stance in this war. Let’s dive into what I thought […]

The Clone Wars Defenders of Peace

Five Thoughts on Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ “Defenders of Peace”

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 30, 2017 | Television

This episode of The Clone Wars felt a little insubstantial, especially given how last week’s episode did everything that this week’s did, but better. Except for a guest voice and a cool weapon, this was very much a retread. “When surrounded by war, one must eventually choose a side.” 1. Oh my As I was […]

Defenders Royal Dragon Feature

Five Thoughts On: The Defenders “Royal Dragon”

By Michael Mazzacane | Aug 30, 2017 | Television

Oh boy, after all that action, it can make a person hungry. If the pattern The Defenders follows wasn’t clear, “Royal Dragon” makes it. At last, with everybody together now the show can develop the bloat, but there was at least one good scene with the quality Netflix shows aspire to. “Royal Dragon” is directed by […]

Young-Justice-Failsafe

By Kevin Gregory | Aug 30, 2017 | Television

Welcome back to our coverage of Young Justice as part of our 2017 Multiversity Summer Binge as we tackle the sixteenth episode of the first season, and the most intense, most adult episode to date.

Five Thoughts On The X-Files‘s “Gender Bender”

By Jess Camacho | Aug 29, 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 […]

Five Thoughts on Preacher’s “Backdoors”

By Jaina Hill | Aug 29, 2017 | Television

Order yourself some plum cake, it’s time for a new Preacher y’all! With a lot of villains in play, is this the week our heroes come close to finding God?

Five Thoughts on The Tick‘s “Where’s My Mind”

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 29, 2017 | Television

Amazon dumped the pilot to The Tick onto its streaming service a while ago, but we waited to review it until last week. A few days ago, Amazon put out the next 5 episodes of season 1, all at once. We’ll be doing one episode a week until we hit episode 6, and then patiently […]

Mushroom-Samba

Five Thoughts on Cowboy Bebop‘s “Mushroom Samba”

By Matthew Garcia | Aug 29, 2017 | Television

All right, everyone. Here we have it. “Mushroom Samba” is my favorite session of Cowboy Bebop. Over the top, bursting with energy, consistently hysterical, genre-mashing, spontaneous, and insane, this session just hits every note perfectly. As always, spoilers for this session and potentially the other sessions proceeding it. 1. Ed’s Got the Gig Like always, the Bebop is […]

Baccano-Episode-1

Five Thoughts on Baccano!‘s “Carol Realizes That the Story Cannot Have an Ending”

By Ken Godberson III | Aug 28, 2017 | Television

This is it. We’ve finally come to the last episode. 1. Hints to Something More So, here’s a frustrating thing about this last episode now that I have more knowledge of the novels. Apparently, Baccano!’s sales in Japan were abysmal, so it only got these sixteen episodes. Several scenes in this episode, however, hinted that […]

Five Thoughts on Twin Peaks: The Return‘s “Part Sixteen”

By Jess Camacho | Aug 28, 2017 | Television

And with another week in the rear view mirror, we return to Twin Peaks: The Return. Guys, I have to admit, I’m hecked up. This episode was a lot and I am still processing this as you read this. This was the most satisfying episode of the series so far without being straight up fan service. […]

Five Thoughts On: The Defenders “Worst Behavior”

By Michael Mazzacane | Aug 28, 2017 | News, Television

Our heroes may be on their worst behavior, but it brings out the best in them for one of the best episodes in the series overall. Meaningful Conversation In the last episode, characters began to connect with one another on a physical level. Now we get some real meat as characters come together and talk […]

Welcome back for another weekly review of Avatar! This week, we visit a fire nation town and meet Jeong Jeong, the deserter. How does the episode hold up? Here are my thoughts. 1. Fire Nation Town! We’ve gotten a few glimpses of life in the Fire Nation so far, but all of them (save the […]

Clone Wars Jedi Crash

Five Thoughts on Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ “Jedi Crash”

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 23, 2017 | Television

The Clone Wars doesn’t really have a lot of war in it, despite its title, but this week shows an interesting side in any war: that of the objectors. “Greed and fear of loss are the roots that lead to the tree of evil.” 1. Daring Anakin, wet blanket Ahsoka The show established a really […]
