Five Thoughts on American Gods‘ “Head Full of Snow”

By Justin Beeson | May 15, 2017 | Television

After years of development, the adaptation of one of Neil Gaiman’s most notable works has made it to the small screen. To prepare, I re-read the novel and his recently released Norse Mythology (definitely recommended). There will be some book discussion but I’ll reserve the spoilery talk for my fifth thought, which will always be […]

Batman: The Animated Series On Leather Wings

Five Thoughts on Batman: The Animated Series‘s “On Leather Wings”

By Ryan Perry | May 15, 2017 | Television

Welcome to the first of our series reviewing Batman: The Animated Series, which will cover the first season of the show. Today, we’re reviewing the very first episode “On Leather Wings,” and it’s a good one! To be fair, if you’ve seen this show before, you know that most of them are good ones. 1. […]

Multiversity Summer TV Binge

Announcing the Multiversity Summer TV Binge!

By Multiversity Staff | May 12, 2017 | Television

It’s May, and so for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, temperatures are rising, school is winding down, and we are starting to get that lovely feeling of freedom that exists even years after graduation: it’s almost summer! Summer also means that many of our favorite television programs are going on hiatus until the […]

Riverdale-The-Sweet-Hereafter

Five (and a Half) Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “The Sweet Hereafter”

By Ken Godberson III | May 12, 2017 | Television

I don’t have any quips. I have no cute introduction. Let’s just Go! Go! Go! Spoilers Ahead 1. The Broken Illusion My problem with the Archie property had always been the faux happy 50s “Gosh Gee Willikers” Americana image that had never existed and, for the many, many, many problems this series, it was the […]

Arrow Honor Thy Fathers

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Honor Thy Fathers”

By Brian Salvatore | May 11, 2017 | Television

Last night’s Arrow didn’t quite hit the heights of the past two weeks, but it did help push the endgame along in a few ways that feel very useful. 1. Ugh more fucking Russian flashbacks I really, really hoped that we were done with the flashbacks from Ollie’s last year “in hell,” but here we […]

The Flash Cause and Effect

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Cause and Effect”

By Brian Salvatore | May 10, 2017 | Television

This week’s The Flash did more to fuck up the rules of time travel than Biff Tannen, but it presented a really fun episode that advanced the season’s plots and provided some rare insight into Barry’s character. 1. Time travel makes less sense than ever At one point in the show, Savitarry (Future Barry outside […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “The Return”

By Robbie Pleasant | May 10, 2017 | Television

As we reach the penultimate episode of the season, things continue to get intense on all fronts. So without further ado, let’s take a look and see how the SHIELD crew is getting on now that they’ve escaped from the Framework. 1. By Your Powers Combined Well, this episode did indeed answer my “wait, what?” […]

Supergirl City Of Lost Children

Five Thoughts On Supergirl‘s “City Of Lost Children”

By Alice W. Castle | May 9, 2017 | Television

Is Supergirl finally back on track? Is… is this a good show again? After two pretty good episodes that finally put the characters and their relationships back to the fore, this episode takes many of the disparate plot threads that have been left lingering throughout the season to turn things around in time for the […]

Five Thoughts On American Gods‘ “The Secret of Spoons”

By Justin Beeson | May 8, 2017 | Television

Riverdale Anatomy of a Murder

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “Anatomy of a Murder”

By Ken Godberson III | May 5, 2017 | Television

All right. This is it. The penultimate episode. Everything is going to hit the fan and hopefully it’ll be completely bonkers. It all starts now. Spoilers galore here! Seriously, we’re going to spoil who murdered Jason. This is your last chance to quite reading without having the crux of the season spoiled for you. 1. […]

Arrow Underneath

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Underneath”

By Brian Salvatore | May 4, 2017 | Television

Arrow is often at its best when it goes small, and tells a very specific tale. This episode did just that, and it continues the hot streak the show has been on recently. 1. A better, but still dull, flashback Part of the reason that this last bit of the season has been working so […]

The Flash I Know Who You Are

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “I Know Who You Are”

By Brian Salvatore | May 3, 2017 | Television

This week, the show dropped the big Savitar reveal and it was…well, boringly predictable. Be warned that spoilers follow. 1. The reveal OK, so let’s get this out of the way: despite doing everything in their power to convince us that Savitar wasn’t a future version of Barry, he was. While the reveal was pulled […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Farewell, Cruel World!”

By Robbie Pleasant | May 3, 2017 | Television

The season finale grows ever closer, so it’s time to leave the Framework. Things are moving along at a nice pace, stakes are high, and we know it’s too soon for the good guys to get the big win they need just yet. 1. Family Mack The more we saw Mack and his daughter, the […]

Supergirl Alex

Five Thoughts On Supergirl‘s “Alex”

By Alice W. Castle | May 2, 2017 | Television

Now, this is more like it! After returning from a three week break with a somewhat lackluster episode that wasted a great guest spot on an undercooked villain, Supergirl goes back to basics with an episode that actually feels emotional! And has an interesting and compelling (if fairly standard) villain! With actual stakes involved! It’s […]

Riverdale to Riverdale and Back Again

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “To Riverdale and Back Again”

By Ken Godberson III | Apr 28, 2017 | Television

Don’t worry, everyone. This episode ends on quite the happy note. Honest. Would I lie to you? Let’s find out! 1. Everyone Has a Creepy Wig Room, Right? What else do you want me to say about this? The Blossoms have a Creepy Red Head Wig Room in their house. Like, you know it’s mad […]

Arrow Dangerous Liasons

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Dangerous Liaisons”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 27, 2017 | Television

As we move into the homestretch, it is clear: this is the best Arrow has been in years. In fact, this episode ranks in the top 10, if not top 5, of the entire run. Keep reading, but be warned that spoilers aplenty will appear. 1. Wild Dad I’m starting with this, not because it […]

The Flash The Once and Future Flash

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “The Once and Future Flash”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 26, 2017 | Television

The Flash is back – is it good again? Reserve the wolf howl for the end of the article. 1. The problem with future time travel One of the hard things about doing future time travel on a show like this is that you have to nail not just the characters’ current motivations, but walk […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “All the Madame’s Men”

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 26, 2017 | Television

The journey through the Framework continues! Daisy’s got her powers back, the team is coming back together, and Fitz is getting more and more evil. So let’s take a look at the latest episode and see how it goes. 1. May’s Redemption We all knew May would be switching to the side of SHIELD sooner […]

Supergirl Ace Reporter

Five Thoughts On Supergirl‘s “Ace Reporter”

By Alice W. Castle | Apr 25, 2017 | Television

It’s been, what, three weeks now? But Supergirl is finally back and ready to kick off the lead in to the season finale. But first, an episode that tries to rectify a weird plot point from three episodes ago, a guest star wasted on half baked material and a sideplot that goes nowhere about side […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “No Regrets”

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 19, 2017 | Television

So, I goofed. Last week’s episode was “Identity and Change,” this week’s is “No Regrets.” So we’ve got the titles swapped around now, and will fix that all up. My mistake aside, this was quite an episode for Agents of SHIELD, so let’s toss up that SPOILER warning and dive on in. 1. Triplet Returns […]
