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 […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Self Control”

By Robbie Pleasant | Feb 22, 2017 | Television

Wow… I gotta hand it to the show, because this episode had me on edge the entire time. It had a HSQ (Holy Shit Quotient) through the roof, making it probably the best one this season. How do I like this episode? Let me count the ways. 1. Tension This episode kept me on the edge […]

The Flash Attack on Gorilla City

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

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 22, 2017 | Television

The first half of a two-part episode that sees the return of Grood, a trip to Earth 2, a double shot of romance, and Tom Cavanaugh, again, playing more roles than he’s getting paid for. 1. Pretty cavalier about bringing the new guy to Earth 2, eh? I appreciate the position that the show is […]

Supergirl Mr And Mrs Mxyzptlk

Five Thoughts On Supergirl‘s “Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk”

By Alice W. Castle | Feb 21, 2017 | Television

Oh boy, I did not like this one. After a really fantastic episode that focused on the power of female relationships and trust, we get an episode were two shitty white boys fight over who has the right to bang Kara. Because that’s totally what this show should be about, right? Strap yourselves in, I’ve […]

Star Wars Legacy Of Mandalore

Five Thoughts On Star Wars: Rebels‘ “Legacy Of Mandalore”

By Alice W. Castle | Feb 20, 2017 | Television

We’re finally back! After a four week hiatus between two of the best episodes this show has seen, I finally get to talk about Star Wars: Rebels again. I have been waiting for this episode with baited breath ever since the last episode knocked my socks off and, thankfully, it didn’t disappoint. Without any further […]

The Walking Dead New Best Friends

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “New Best Friends”

By Gregory Ellner | Feb 20, 2017 | Television

First, let’s make something clear about the previous analysis. I was mistaken over the identity of the group that met with Rick and co, which has yet to be given an official name at all, calling them Oceanside. I was wrong about that one. In any case, onward to our newest episode, of The Walking […]

Powerless - Sinking Day

Five Thoughts on ’s “Sinking Day”

By Daniel Vlasaty | Feb 17, 2017 | Television

NBC’s Powerless is back for it’s third episode. I decided to give it another try. One last chance to win me over. I will say that I did like the first episode, but then I basically hated the second one. So I thought I’d do a best of three here. If I like this episode, […]

RIverdale The Last Picture Show

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “The Last Picture Show”

By Ken Godberson III | Feb 17, 2017 | Television

We are gathered tonight for endings and beginnings. Riverdale is bringing to an end its first story-arc and setting up some interesting paths for the future. Let’s take a look. 1. BETTY! “It sounds like “jail time” to me!” With that one sentence to Archie, Betty Cooper became Supreme Empress. Finally calling out the incredibly […]

Arrow Spectre of the Gun

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Spectre of the Gun”

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 16, 2017 | Television

Tonight’s Arrow had the ability to transcend the CW Superhero business and become something really important, or it had the potential to devolve into preachy weirdness. Which did it do? Keep reading to find out. 1. A very special episode This episode depicted, about as “realistically” as you could expect any CW show, a mass […]

Legion Chapter 2

Five Thoughts on Legion‘s “Chapter 2”

By Vince Ostrowski | Feb 16, 2017 | Television

Two episodes in and FX’s Legion continues to be a delightful show with very few missteps, but one that’s intentionally so cagey and deceptive that it’s more about stringing you along than answering many questions along the way. “Chapter 2” serves to straighten out and confirm the timeline of events from “Chapter 1,” so if […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “The Man Behind the Shield”

By Robbie Pleasant | Feb 15, 2017 | Television

Director Mace kidnapped, robot duplicates about, and now they know May is trapped in a virtual reality. There’s been plenty of interesting twists and turns within these past few episodes, so let’s see if this episode can keep up the momentum. Quick word of warning: unless you mind spoilers, watch the episode before you read this […]

Supergirl Luthors

Five Thoughts On Supergirl‘s “Luthors”

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

The return of the Luthors! After Lillian Luthor was put behind bars following an attempting mass murder of every alien, it’s time to check in with what’s been happening with America’s favourite alien-hating billionaires. Turns out: more alien hating. Who’da thunk it, right? Read on below for our full Five Thoughts on Supergirl‘s ‘Luthors’, but […]

Walking Dead Rock in the Road

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead‘s “Rock in the Road”

By Gregory Ellner | Feb 13, 2017 | Television

Coming back to The Walking Dead since its midseason finale “Hearts Still Beating” is a bittersweet affair. However, whereas very little seemed to happen in the first half of Season 7, the midseason premiere, “Rock in the Road,” more than made up for it. The action is engaging, and it appears that yes, the gang […]
