Powerless Wayne or Lose

Five Thoughts on Powerless’s “Wayne or Lose”

By Daniel Vlasaty | Feb 3, 2017 | Television

Superhero TV shows are everywhere right now. There are so many of them, I’m not even sure I can name them all off the top of my head. But what about a superhero TV that doesn’t focus on the superheroes? What about a superhero show that’s really just a quirky little workplace comedy? 1. Workplace […]

Arrow Second Chances

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Second Chances”

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 2, 2017 | Television

Early this season, Arrow was the best of the CW’s superhero shows: it was doing interesting new things, it wasn’t relying on tropes, and it was introducing new characters that made sense. Well, strap in folks: this episode didn’t really do any of that. 1. Let’s get Rene to implicitly state the theme of the […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Hot Potato Soup”

By Robbie Pleasant | Feb 1, 2017 | Television

1. Patton Oswalt is a national treasure I mean, the episode begins with two Patton Oswalts (that is to say, two Koenigs) quoting Star Wars and Back to the Future. But then he still fights off Russian attackers without missing a beat. It’s been too long since we last saw any Agent Koenig, and it’s […]

Legends of Tomorrow Legion of Doom

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “Legion of Doom”

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 1, 2017 | Television

This episode was all about the Legion of Doom, and that was made clear from the opening voice over done by Damien Darhk. While it was a nice break from the grin-off between Ray and Nate that the show has become, it also showed just how little the show has cared/focused on the villains so […]

The Flash Dead or Alive

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Dead or Alive”

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 1, 2017 | Television

The Flash continues its march towards a full on “Justice League Detroit” television series, and H.R. gets his ass saved. 1. Earth-19 It is interesting how much we know about H.R.’s Earth, considering we’ve never spent any time there. The show has done a really nice job building the world from afar – we know […]

Supergirl We Can Be Heroes

Five Thoughts On Supergirl‘s “We Can Be Heroes”

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

After a fairly self-contained return last week, Supergirl focuses back on the main story of Season 2 this week. Namely, having too many story threads going on per episode that it barely feels like story progression is being made and undercuts the emotional beats of the episode. There’s a lot going on in this episode […]

Five Thoughts on Adventure Time‘s “Horse and Ball”

By Matthew Garcia | Jan 27, 2017 | Television

When James Baxter was first introduced in the season five episode “James Baxter the Horse.” And it was truly a special piece of TV. Smash cut to almost four years later, and he’s finally back in another exceptional episode, storyboarded by Seo Kim and Somvilay Xayaphone. 1. James Baxter Much like his first go around, […]

Riverdale 101

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “The River’s Edge”

By Ken Godberson III | Jan 27, 2017 | Television

Riverdale. Just your ordinary country town, right? Well, not so much as a tragedy begins a chain reaction of weird events and drama in this adaptation of America’s Favorite Teen, “Archie”. So, how does the Pilot fair? Let’s discuss. Warning: There will be spoilers. 1. Definitely Not the Archie of Old In the lead up […]

High Strangeness

Five Thoughts on Adventure Time‘s “High Strangeness”

By Matthew Garcia | Jan 26, 2017 | Television

In “Two Swords” and “Do No Harm,” we had an Adventure Time that was exploring its identity themes. In “Wheels,” we had a more hijinks and stunts based humor. And now, tonight, with “High Strangeness,” we’re delving into the wider mythology of the show. So far, the Season Eight premiere week has been a survey of everything Adventure […]

Arrow Who Are You

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Who Are You?”

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 26, 2017 | Television

Arrow is back and, like any show in its fifth season, has a lot of lingering plot threads to pick up. Let’s see how many they get to on week one. 1. I’m glad Felicity isn’t a goddamned fool Look, I know Oliver has been through a lot. I get that he has consistently lost […]

Legends of Tomorrow - Raiders of the Lost Art

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

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 25, 2017 | Television

Rip is an American, George Lucas is a cameraman, and Legends of Tomorrow is back. Let’s get right to it. Note: I will do my best to make sure that these reviews don’t get short shrift, given that I have to write them directly after writing The Flash reviews. If it is a problem, I’ll […]

The Flash Borrowing Problems From the Future

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Borrowing Problems From the Future”

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 25, 2017 | Television

The Flash is back! Let’s skip the preamble and get to it. 1. Kid Flash suits up If I recall, the first promo image released before this season was that of Wally suited up as Kid Flash. Aside from the “Flashpoint” episode, we have been waiting for this all season. The show, thankfully, skipped a […]

Adventure Time Wheels

Five Thoughts on Adventure Time‘s “Wheels”

By Matthew Garcia | Jan 25, 2017 | Television

Jake hits up the skatepark in a solid and entertaining episode. And not only do we find out that his kids are more mature and put together than him, but it’s starting to look like his grandkids are, too. Better than that, though, it’s a exploration of growing older, staying relevant, while still keeping your […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Wake Up”

By Robbie Pleasant | Jan 25, 2017 | Television

Welcome to the season of LMD paranoia! Any of the people you know and love could actually be a robot duplicate… even I might be an LMD, if it would make a good plot twist. But for now, let’s put those squishy human brains to work and analyze this latest episode. 1. May’s Great Escape Last […]

Adventure Time two swords

Five Thoughts on Adventure Time‘s “Two Swords” & “Do No Harm”

By Matthew Garcia | Jan 24, 2017 | Television

Come on grab your friends. Adventure Time is finally back, kicking off its eighth season with a double-header premier. The fun will never end. (Or it’s still kinda far from ending. Either way.) Spoilers, probably. 1.) Weird Days, Man. Give Me a Minute to Catch Up It always seems too much time has passed between episodes of Adventure […]

Supergirl Supergirl Lives

Five Thoughts On Supergirl‘s “Supergirl Lives”

By Alice W. Castle | Jan 24, 2017 | Television

Wow, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? Supergirl is finally back after its midseason break and is ready to resume life after the ‘Invasion!’ crossover. With an episode that feels like a classic DC story, Supergirl must find a way to save the day even without her powers. Can she pull it off? Well… y’know, […]

Star Wars Rebels Trials Of The Darksaber

Five Thoughts On Star Wars: Rebels‘ “Trials Of The Darksaber”

By Alice W. Castle | Jan 23, 2017 | Television

The rumours are true. Star Wars: Rebels is good again. After most of the first half of this season amounted to very little and the beginning of the second half tripping over itself, this episode, ‘Trials Of The Darksaber,’ puts an unlikely character bond firmly at the emotional core of the story and doesn’t back […]

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

By Robbie Pleasant | Jan 18, 2017 | Television

The plot advances, characters develop, and secrets are revealed. Let’s take a look and see what the latest episode has to offer. 1. Cage Cameo Okay, so it’s not actually a character cameo, but I’m going for an alliteration theme with the titles, so it’ll have to slide. What we actually get is the appearance […]

Star Wars Rebels Warhead

Five Thoughts On Star Wars: Rebels‘ “Warhead”

By Alice W. Castle | Jan 16, 2017 | Television

Well, we’re back? After a disappointing return with last week’s midseason premiere that wasted two whole episodes on a story that amounted to very little development, this episode features… a bottle episode! Where Zeb, Chopper and AP-5 are left alone on Chopper Base and get up to some hijinks! Oh boy, there’s going to be […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Broken Promises”

By Robbie Pleasant | Jan 11, 2017 | Television

SHIELD is back, and now with more plots, intrigues, and opening scenes involving a slowly-undressing android. So with the LMD story arc starting off, let’s take a look and see how it goes, with minor spoilers. 1. Robot Rebellion Let’s just start off with the main draw for this season: ADA’s robot uprising. With May […]

Star Wars Rebels Ghosts Of Geonosis

Five Thoughts On Star Wars: Rebels‘ “Ghosts Of Geonosis”

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

We’re back! With Rogue One out of the way, it’s time for the third season of Rebels to begin its second half by going back to where it all began in a two part, double-sized premiere. Well, where the Death Star began. I’m talking about Geonosis. Last we saw of Geonosis, it was even more […]
