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.

Five Thoughts on Titans‘s “Troubled Water”

By Michael Mazzacane | Oct 1, 2021 | Television

The Titans are not on a bridge over “Troubled Water,” they’re crashing into after the titular water washed away the bridge in a slow-motion tsunami of fear. 1. Advertising the Magical System During the pre-title sequence, Crane once again goes down the road of intellectualization as a cover for his feelings of inadequacy, and to […]

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “Next to Normal”

By Elias Rosner | Sep 30, 2021 | Television

I have been reminded of why I love live performances, and specifically live music, twice in the last two days. The first was Summer of Soul. The second was this musical episode. Who woulda thunk it?

Good Omens Ep 4

Five Thoughts on Good Omens’ “Saturday Morning Funtime”

By Mel Lake | Sep 30, 2021 | Television

Welcome back to Armageddon! This week on Good Omens, we have the not-so-lost city of Atlantis, some climate change hand-wringing from 1990 that’s depressingly relevant today, a misguided exorcism, and a trio of very bad angels. 1. The Postman Always Rings Twice In the last episode, we met Famine, the second horseperson of the apocalypse. […]

Five Thoughts On Altered Carbon‘s “Broken Angels”

By Alexander Manzo | Sep 29, 2021 | Television

Last time we’d seen Takeshi Kovacs he’d gotten Elder spirit out of Quellcrist Falconer and hopefully trapped into a construct . . . not knowing that it had actually slipped out and into Colonel Carrera.
