Star Wars Rebels Double Agent Droid

Five Thoughts On Star Wars: Rebels‘ “Double Agent Droid”

By Alice W. Castle | Mar 13, 2017 | Television

It’s that time of the year again. That time where, just after a great couple of episodes building up to the season finale and just before that amazing finale we’ve been teased with hits, Star Wars: Rebels pumps the brakes for a droid episode. While this episode isn’t quite as heinous as ‘The Forgotten Droid’, […]

The Walking Dead Bury Me Here

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “Bury Me Here”

By Gregory Ellner | Mar 13, 2017 | Television

As noted in the review for “New Best Friends,” The Walking Dead is at its best when it focuses on one or two characters, rather than a massive cast. Case in point: “Bury Me Here,” which hones in on Morgan and Richard in particular. 1. The Royal Garden King Ezekiel’s garden seems to be a metaphor […]

Riverdale In A Lonely Place

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “In a Lonely Place”

By Ken Godberson III | Mar 10, 2017 | Television

We’ve come to the mid-season finale of the first season of Riverdale. How is do we sign off for now? Let’s look. 1. Nice Little Opening Let’s face facts: Riverdale… is a terrible adaptation. In the same way Young Justice is a terrible adaptation of the titular comic. And yes I know that the comics […]

legion chapter 5

Five Thoughts on Legion‘s “Chapter 5”

By Vince Ostrowski | Mar 9, 2017 | Television

This was a messy episode of Legion by virtue of it spending a lot of time on style over substance, but that style paid off in some really major ways. I can’t wait to talk about it, so let’s go: 1. Even a Mutant Can Be Horny The major emotional throughline in 5 episodes of […]

Legends of Tomorrow Land of the Lost

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “Land of the Lost”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 8, 2017 | Television

The team is finally back together, the Legion of Doom is almost at the final piece of the Spear of Destiny, and finally somebody cares about the future on this week’s Legends of Tomorrow. 1. Vixen shines Leave aside all the weirdness about Amaya being African, but having no discernible accent, or her so seamlessly […]

The Flash The Wrath of Savitar

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “The Wrath of Savitar”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 8, 2017 | Television

OK, this episode got real in a bunch of ways. After last week’s Arrow felt the most significant of the season, The Flash follows suit. Every character is put through the ringer one way or another, and things look pretty fucking bleak right now. Obviously, spoilers follow. 1. Barry’s proposal Last week’s episode ended on […]

Supergirl Exodus

Five Thoughts On Supergirl‘s “Exodus”

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

After last week’s shocking revelation about Jeremiah Danvers, the hunt is on and Alex steps into focus for this episode. As we get ever closer to the end of the season, we’ve finally gotten a taste of the showdown with CADMUS that has been brewing since the beginning of the season and things are getting […]

The Walking Dead Say Yes

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “Say Yes”

By Gregory Ellner | Mar 6, 2017 | Television

This week’s episode of The Walking Dead, “Say Yes,” is admittedly a very slow one, especially compared to the previous character-centric one. 1. Live Together, Die Alone A key component of this episode was the different methods of survival of different people. Rick and Michonne have a relatively easy time gathering more than sixty guns […]

Star Wars Rebels Secret Cargo

Five Thoughts On Star Wars: Rebels‘ “Secret Cargo”

By Alice W. Castle | Mar 6, 2017 | Television

Things are finally starting to pick up for Star Wars: Rebels as the Season Three finale is only a handful of episodes away. As it begins to tie in to the events of Rogue One, this episode sees the Ghost crew escorting Senator-In-Exile Mon Mothma on an important mission that could see the birth of […]

Riverdale Faster Pussycats

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “Faster, Pussycats! Kill! Kill!”

By Ken Godberson III | Mar 3, 2017 | Television

Riverdale’s 75th Annual Variety Show is on as Betty and Jughead make a shocking breakthrough in the Jason Blossom Murder Case. Songs, Dysfunctional Families and Mayham. So… you know… Riverdale. 1.Parents Are Bad Seriously. They are. I know we had the Blossom’s last week and they set the Gold Standard of “Holy Fucking Shit, Really?”, […]

Arrow - Fighting Fire with Fire

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Fighting Fire With Fire”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 2, 2017 | Television

The Arrow-renaissance is upon us. Major, major spoilers follow. 1. Curtis becomes more terrific, less happy After teasing T-Spheres last year, it was only a matter of time before the show let Curtis Holt more closely resemble Michael Holt. Curtis really saved the team’s bacon this week, and the whole episode he is looking forward […]

legion chapter 4

Five Thoughts on Legion‘s “Chapter 4”

By Vince Ostrowski | Mar 2, 2017 | Television

What a magnificent episode of Legion that was. More than anything, “Chapter 4” demonstrates why television is a terrific medium for experimentation with the superhero “genre” – the opening monologue is something that cape movies would not have the time, nor the patience to attempt (see below for more on that scene). We may always […]

The Flash Attack on Central City

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Attack on Central City”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 1, 2017 | Television

The second part of a two-parter is often times a spiritual cousin, or at least tonally similar, to the first installment. Well, “Attack on Central City” didn’t feel at all like “Attack on Gorilla City,” for reasons that were both good and bad. 1. Friend Day While I appreciate that Earth-19’s Valentine’s Day equivalent is […]

Supergirl Homecoming

Five Thoughts On Supergirl‘s “Homecoming”

By Alice W. Castle | Feb 28, 2017 | Television

Finally, this show is close to getting back on track with some semblance of an overarching focus for the season as CADMUS comes back in to the picture. And not a moment too soon because we’re well into the latter half of this season. With the triumphant return of Dean Cain as Jeremiah Danvers, this […]

The Walking Dead Hostiles and Calamaties

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “Hostiles and Calamities”

By Gregory Ellner | Feb 27, 2017 | Television

While last episode of The Walking Dead did strike me as somewhat lackluster, this one, “Hostiles and Calamities,” makes up for it in force. By focusing in on two characters rather than the vast multitude, the show truly shines. 1. Extended Look at the Sanctuary One thing that stood out is the fact that, by […]

Star Wars Rebels Through Imperial Eyes

Five Thoughts On Star Wars: Rebels‘ “Through Imperial Eyes”

By Alice W. Castle | Feb 27, 2017 | Television

Welcome back to another Five Thoughts roundup on Star Wars: Imperials. This week, the crew of Chrimaera run into a bump in the road on their hunt for those criminal Rebels: one amongst them is a spy! Okay, I don’t know how much longer I can keep that up so let’s just dive right into […]

Powerless - Emily Dates A Henchman

Five Thoughts on Powerless’s “Emily Dates A Henchman”

By Daniel Vlasaty | Feb 24, 2017 | Television

It’s the fourth episode of NBC’s Powerless. Still not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, though. So there’s that. But I will say that I didn’t hate it this time around. It didn’t particularly blow me away or anything either. But it was a somewhat enjoyable way to spend 30 min […]

Riverdale Heart of Darkness

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “Heart of Darkness”

By Ken Godberson III | Feb 24, 2017 | Television

Ready to meet the craziest family in town? No? Well, too bad! Let’s take a look! 1.So, The Blossom Family Is Awful So, remember how Cheryl’s behavior over Jason could come off as a bit creepy? It was very subtle, I could understand you not seeing it. Well, turns out, the whole rest of the […]

Arrow The Sin Eater

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “The Sin-Eater”

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 23, 2017 | Television

(Note: for best experience, have this playing in the background as you read this) 1. Funky Cold Thea One of the bits that Arrow tends to forget is that Thea is Malcolm Merlyn’s daughter, and every now and then, she shows the ruthless self preservation that Merlyn has shown over and over again. Her systematic […]

legion chapter 3

Five Thoughts on Legion‘s “Chapter 3”

By Vince Ostrowski | Feb 23, 2017 | Television

The pacing of the first two episodes of Legion had been rather frenetic, which had been a big boon to making the show unlike anything else on television. “Chapter 3” slows things down a considerable amount and deliberately goes about filling in a lot of the holes from previous episodes. Actually, it’s surprisingly conventional storytelling, […]

Legends of Tomorrow Camelot/3000

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “Camelot / 3000”

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 22, 2017 | Television

This is either the best Legends of Tomorrow episode in a few weeks, or I’m just getting numb to what they are doing, and so this seems like an improvement. 1. The time-displaced JSA The best parts of this season have been those that involved the Justice Society of America, and I’m not just saying […]
