Agents of SHIELD "Slingshot"

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Slingshot”

By Robbie Pleasant | Jan 4, 2017 | Television

If you clicked on this review thinking “Wait, was there a new episode I missed!?” then worry not; “Slingshot” was a special web episode, made of several mini-episodes (and available online for your viewing pleasure). While technically set between the mid-season finale and January 10th’s upcoming episode, it’s primarily a flashback meant to fill in […]

Five Thoughts on Doctor Who’s “The Return of Doctor Mysterio”

By Ken Godberson III | Dec 26, 2016 | Television

So, after a long year hiatus, we finally have the return of The Doctor. And for this year’s Christmas special, we’re taking on an obvious Christmas subject: Superheroes! How does it go? Well, let’s see: 1. Guest Starring “The Doctor” So yeah. Did it feel like The Doctor was the supporting character in his own […]

Star Wars Rebels Visions And Voices

Five Thoughts On Star Wars: Rebels‘ “Visions And Voices”

By Alice W. Castle | Dec 12, 2016 | Television

It’s our final episode of Star Wars: Rebels of 2016 and, boy, is it a doozy! Cleaning things up before that massive wave that is Rogue One hits us, this episode sees the return of Maul as well as a beloved location from The Clone Wars and explores the dynamic between Ezra, Kanan and Maul. […]

Legends of Tomorrow - The Chicago Way

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “The Chicago Way”

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 9, 2016 | Television

Legends of Tomorrow continue their trip through all of history’s favorite eras with a swing through the Roaring Twenties for the midseason finale, which saw the cast expand with familiar faces. 1. Al Capone The CW just can’t help itself: there’s a historically ugly character introduced on the show, and they cast him with someone […]

Arrow What We Leave Behind

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “What We Leave Behind”

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 8, 2016 | Television

The Arrow mid-season finale was an intense hour and, among the best in the show’s run. 1. Of course his favorite Christmas movie is Die Hard Ollie – at least his public persona – is a man slightly out of touch. So, it makes perfect sense that Ollie’s favorite Christmas movie was the clever answer […]

The Flash The Present

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “The Present”

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 7, 2016 | Television

The mid-season finale of The Flash is here, and it does a few neat things: it establishes a clear course for the Spring finale, brings certain characters to the forefront, and puts doubt in a lot of the concepts that the season has been doubling down on. 1. Christmas cheese I will excuse everything around […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “The Laws of Inferno Dynamics”

By Robbie Pleasant | Dec 7, 2016 | Television

I have to give this episode props for the best title of the season; I love a good science pun. That minor note aside, let’s take a look at the mid-season finale, and see where it takes us. 1. Morrow’s Magic The Marvel Cinematic Universe is at an odd place with magic right now. It […]

Star Wars Rebels An Inside Man

Five Thoughts On Star Wars: Rebels‘ “An Inside Man”

By Alice W. Castle | Dec 5, 2016 | Television

I usually start these things with a “We’re back!”, but that’s especially true this week. The last handful of episodes have been pretty rough, milling about with side stories in order to teach Ezra the same lessons he learned in previous seasons. As much as I try to be positive about these episodes, this episode […]

By Brian Salvatore and Alice W. Castle | Dec 5, 2016 | Television

Well folks, here we are with our wall to wall coverage of “Invasion,” the ‘Aliens Vs. Superheroes’ crossover on the CW. Aside from the tagline being silly (because, you know, Supergirl is an alien), this is a genuinely exciting event.

Legends of Tomorrow - "Invasion"

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “Invasion”

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 2, 2016 | Television

Well, “Invasion” is over, the Legends have a new cast member, and I’m very tired. Let’s get to it! 1. Goofiness One of the defining qualities of Legends of Tomorrow is the inherent chessiness that the show exhibits. This is usually manifested in Ray, but there are lots of instances of lazy storytelling transforming into […]

MEDUSA – A Five Part Discussion on the CW Superheroes Crossover, Part 3: Arrow

Arrow - "Invasion"

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Invasion”

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 1, 2016 | Television

Now in night three, the “Invasion” crossover continues on Arrow. This was sort of an odd installment, as it was also the 100th episode of the show, and so featured a lot of returning characters, and only focused tangentially on the crossover itself. It also featured some amazingly cheesy moments, and more than a few […]

Five Thoughts on Agents of SHIELD’s “Deals With Our Devils”

By Robbie Pleasant | Nov 30, 2016 | Television

We’re back, and boy did the show ever choose quite the moment to take a break on. So now we pick up where it left off, with Eli Morrow powered up and on the move. Enough reflection, let’s jump in and see how it goes. 1. Ghosted Following the events of the previous episode, where […]

The Flash - "Invasion"

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Invasion”

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 30, 2016 | Television

After last night’s totally not related episode of Supergirl, the “Invasion” crossover begins! While this was about as packed as an episode of television can be, I’m trying not to discuss every tiny detail, as Alice and I will be doing an installment of MEDUSA later today. So, check back at 3pm Eastern for that, […]

Supergirl Medusa Featured Image

Five Thoughts On Supergirl‘s “Medusa”

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 29, 2016 | Television

After a couple of kind of rough episodes, Supergirl finally turns things around in time for both Thanksgiving and the upcoming ‘Invasion!’ crossover between the rest of the CW DC shows. With CADMUS and Hank Henshaw having mined the archives of the Fortress Of Solitude, the race is on for Supergirl to stop a threat […]

Star Wars Rebels The Wynkahthu Job

Five Thoughts On Star Wars: Rebels‘ “The Wynkathu Job”

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 28, 2016 | Television

We’re back on a weekly schedule! At least, until this show hits its mid-season break over the holidays because I will never understand how American television works. It’s unintelligible. You know what isn’t unintelligible, though? Star Wars! Yeah, that’s the segue I’m going to go with. We’re back with a classic Rebels feeling episode that […]

The Flash - "Killer Frost"

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Killer Frost”

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 23, 2016 | Television

Kevin Smith showed up to direct an episode of The Flash, didn’t bring Jason Mewes by, and managed to deliver only a slightly off-kilter episode. There will, obviously, be massive spoilers, specifically about the last ten minutes or so. 1. Killing the Vibe I know that I am biased against liking Kevin Smith’s directorial efforts […]

Supergirl The Darkest Place

Five Thoughts On Supergirl‘s “The Darkest Place”

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 22, 2016 | Television

Oh boy, there’s so much to get through this episode. With the ‘Invasion!’ crossover coming next week, Supergirl seems to have smushed two episodes together to get everything out of the way before the rest of the CW comes crashing into town. There’s so much going on that these five thoughts have more going in […]
