By Mel Lake | Oct 14, 2021 | Television

Stargirl Summer School: Chapter Ten

Five Thoughts on Stargirl‘s “Summer School: Chapter Ten”

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 13, 2021 | Television

This episode of Stargirl may be the least action-oriented in any in the show’s two seasons. However, the last 5 minutes have, perhaps, the most consequential action of the entire series as well. This is a strange episode, balanced on the precipice of teasing the future and clarifying the past. 1. Star-family Just last week, […]

Lego Star Wars: Terrifying Tales

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 12, 2021 | Television

LEGO Star Wars has been more than just a block set and a video game for some time now, but last year, with the release of the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special, the combination has meant something different. There is scant little Star Wars media that takes place after The Rise of Skywalker, but now […]

Five Thoughts on Titans‘s “The Call is Coming from Inside the House”

By Michael Mazzacane | Oct 8, 2021 | Television

“The Call is Coming from Inside the House” sets up next weeks penultimate episode of Titans season three in an interesting place, with the Titans scattered and Crane triumphant.

Stargirl Summer School Chapter 9

Five Thoughts on Stargirl‘s “Summer School: Chapter Nine”

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 8, 2021 | Television

Stargirl continues to play with our expectations of what the JSA was and is. Let’s get right to it. 1. TURN ON A LIGHT I get that the theme of this season is darkness and shadow, quite literally, but I can’t deal with 40 minutes of poor lighting every week. In “Chapter Nine,” there were […]

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “RIVERDALE: RIP(?)”

By Elias Rosner | Oct 7, 2021 | Television

The season finale is upon us and, somehow, it’s the least bonkers finale we’ve ever had. Sure there’s arson, curses, blackmail, spooky calls from serial killers, and no shortage of skeletons but it never quite reaches the heights of “Survive the Night.”

Five Thoughts on Supergirl‘s “Magical Thinking”

By Elias Rosner | Oct 6, 2021 | Television

Things are getting interesting as the battle for the next totem commences in a way that’s not just a rehash of “The Gauntlet.” This change makes for a less fun episode but hey, it could be worse. We could still be fighting the Phantoms.

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 2, 2021 | Television

Welcome to the final day of covering Star Wars: Visions!
