Five Thoughts On Preacher’s “See”

By James Johnston | Jun 6, 2016 | Television

Preacher‘s second episode finds Jesse making some difficult choices, his friends trying to bring back Jesse’s edge (or keep him from the edge of a chainsaw), and a saint taking his first steps on an endless journey. This review will have spoilers for the first two episodes and some mild comic spoilers. 1. Actions Are […]

Talking Preacher

Five Thoughts on Talking Preacher‘s “Pilot”

By Walt Richardson | May 30, 2016 | Television

It’s been hyped up for a while now. Now, the darkly comedic drama (or serious dark comedy, depending on how you look at it) is finally here. So — did Talking Preacher live up to the buzz that preceded it? Read on for our spoiler free review of the show everyone is going to be […]

Arrow Schism

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Schism”

By Brian Salvatore | May 26, 2016 | Television

I feel like we’ve seen a lot of tonight’s Arrow before – the city in ruins, standing behind its heroes, various team members needing ‘time away,’ one flashback ending with a hint of what the next season’s worth of shitty flashbacks will be. Everything old is new again. Also, spoilers! 1. Nukes This show really […]

The Flash The Race of His Life

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “The Race of His Life”

By Brian Salvatore | May 25, 2016 | Television

Season two of The Flash was not as consistently great as season one was, but it was still one of the most entertaining seasons of television in recent memory. This episode wrapped up a lot of stories, but laid the ground for a completely new journey for season three – not that I think the […]

Preacher TV Show

Five Thoughts on Preacher‘s “Pilot”

By James Johnston | May 23, 2016 | Television

Preacher makes its debut on the small screen as Garth Ennis’s and Steve Dillon’s legendary 90’s comic gets adapted for TV. How faithful will the show stay to the comics? Will that matter? Is Arseface as weirdly adorable as ever? Check out our review below and watch out for spoilers from the comics and first […]

Legends of Tomorrow Legendary

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “Legendary”

By Brian Salvatore | May 20, 2016 | Television

The first season of Legends of Tomorrow has wrapped up and, speaking personally, it exceeded my expectations in a number of areas. This episode not only wrapped up this year’s Vandal Savage storyline, but it also laid the tracks for next season out pretty clearly. Keep reading, but be warned that spoilers follow. 1. Rip’s […]

Arrow Lost in the Flood

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Lost in the Flood”

By Brian Salvatore | May 19, 2016 | Television

Arrow continues its trend of killing off prominent female characters while wiping out Damien Darhk’s ark (the Darhk Ark? The Darhrk?) and giving us a little more information on Felicity’s past. Keep reading, but beware the spoilers. 1. Smoak affairs I’m really glad that the show has not resigned itself to making Donna a one […]

The Flash Invincible

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Invincible”

By Brian Salvatore | May 18, 2016 | Television

Last night’s episode of The Flash laid all the groundwork for the finale, including some shocking images towards the end of the episode, which will change the show forever. Keep reading, but be aware that major spoilers follow. 1. R.I.P. Henry Allen As heartbreaking as this scene was, I can’t say it was all that […]

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Absolution Ascension

Five Thoughts on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s “Absolution/Ascension”

By Robbie Pleasant | May 18, 2016 | Television

At last, the season 3 finale. Much has happened this season, and it all comes to a close. Who lives and who dies? Where do we go from here? And will the shotgun axe ever make a glorious return? Those answers and more will follow. 1. Daisy’s breakdown While last episode saw Daisy rescued from […]

Legends of Tomorrow Destiny

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “Destiny”

By Brian Salvatore | May 13, 2016 | Television

Legends of Tomorrow has just one episode left in its inaugural season, and this episode packed a punch in a number of ways. Be warned that major spoilers are discussed. 1. Jefferson Returns to 2016…and the Vanishing Point This is going to sound like a silly thing to say, but I really enjoy when this […]

Arrow Monument Point

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Monument Point”

By Brian Salvatore | May 12, 2016 | Television

This episode of Arrow was, without a doubt, the deadliest in the show’s history, with literally tens of thousands of people dying at the hands of Damien Darhk (and sort of Felicity…). Keep reading for my review, but be warned that major spoilers will be discussed. 1.Arrow’s Rogues This week, we got as close to […]

The Flash The Runaway Dinosaur

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “The Runaway Dinosaur”

By Brian Salvatore | May 11, 2016 | Television

This episode of The Flash attempts to do something that is often tried, but rarely succeeds. Sadly, it suffers the same fate as those other shows, while doing a few things well. 1. Snoochie Boochies, Kevin Smith! So, aside from having Jason Mewes bad-act all over a pointless scene, there wasn’t too much Mooby’s residue […]

Agents of SHIELD Emancipation

Five Thoughts on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s Emancipation

By Robbie Pleasant | May 11, 2016 | Television

The official Civil War tie-in episode brings Talbot to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base with the Sokovia Accords in hand. How will the team react to these new laws? Keep in mind that there may be spoilers to the movie, so read on with caution. 1. Civil War tie-in at last The past few episodes have dropped […]

Legends of Tomorrow River of Time

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow’s “River of Time”

By Brian Salvatore | May 6, 2016 | Television

Next week is the penultimate episode of the season, and Legends of Tomorrow is really amping up for the finale. This week, the episode hit on just about every character and never felt rushed or frantic. 1. Alexa Seeing Snart and Rory consistently reference an event from their past went a long way to remind […]

Arrow Genesis

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Genesis”

By Brian Salvatore | May 5, 2016 | Television

Arrow is somehow getting better as this season has gone on – it still isn’t at Season 2 heights just yet, but this episode had far more going for it than anything early on this season. Be warned, spoilers are going to be discussed. 1. Diggle Bros Let’s not bury the lede here: John Diggle […]

The Flash: Rupture

Five Thoughts on The Flash‘s “Rupture”

By Brian Salvatore | May 4, 2016 | Television

This episode of The Flash did its best to resolve a few of the larger issues that have dragged down the second half of the season: a powerless Barry, a lovelorn Iris, and a cranky Harry. It also set the stage for a pretty dramatic final ten minutes. 1. Hologram Barry One of the fun […]

Agents of SHIELD: Failed Experiments

Five Thoughts on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s “Failed Experiments”

By Robbie Pleasant | May 4, 2016 | Television

With Hive’s plan to create new Inhumans underway, he needs a key ingredient that’s not of this world. Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D. works to save Daisy from Hive’s control, with minimal results. 1. For science? We begin with the Kree abducting a stereotypical, generic Native American hunter, and conducting experiments on him. This, of course, is Hive […]

Legends of Tomorrow:: Leviathan

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow’s “Leviathan”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 29, 2016 | Television

Legends of Tomorrow manages to go bigger than I ever thought possible, do some pretty neat comic book-y things, still manage to be sort of dumb, and reveal a legitimate shock at the end of the episode. In other words, this is the best episode of the series thus far, and it managed to do […]

Arrow: Canary Cry

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Canary Cry”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 28, 2016 | Television

The reality of last week’s death really hits the characters in different ways this week, but one thing is for sure: for a show built around death, this death means more (for reasons that sort of make sense but sort of don’t). 1. Black Canary III I remember as a kid reading “Who’s Who,” and […]

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “Back to Normal”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 27, 2016 | Television

A de-powered Barry Allen tries to deal with life as a normie, and we see the Flash team conspire to murder someone! 1. Emo Barry I know how off I feel when I’m a little under the weather, so I can’t imagine being Barry Allen post-speed loss. It has to be a huge bummer, not […]

Agents of SHIELD The Singularity

Five Thoughts of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s “The Singularity”

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 27, 2016 | Television

Daisy is now under HIve’s control, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is in a tight pinch. How do they get out of it this week, and what’s next for the ever-dwindling team in their battle against constantly-growing threats? 1. Memories in the Corner of Hive’s Mind It was established a few episodes back that Hive maintains the memories […]
