“Souls” takes a trip to the afterlife and check in on a few characters we’ve lost over the seasons exploring such existential questions about self, the past, and future.

Five Thoughts on Doom Patrol‘s “Possibilities Patrol”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Sep 24, 2021 | Television

Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the second season of DC’s wonderfully surreal Doom Patrol ended on a very abrupt cliffhanger. The third season premiere, “Possibilities Patrol,” picks up immediately from there, dusts itself off, and begins anew — starting with the Chief’s death. 1. The End is the Beginning Everything about this episode feels like […]

Five Thoughts Double Feature on Riverdale‘s “Band of Brothers” and “Dance of Death”

By Elias Rosner | Sep 23, 2021 | Television

I figured, since we’re so close to the end, now is the perfect time to do a double feature. It had nothing to do with one episode airing on Yom Kippur. Nope. Not at all.

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

Stargirl has been seeding little moments for Yolanda all season, but this episode is when Yolanda’s story takes center stage. It’s an emotionally wrought episode that leaves a lot of unknown in its wake. Let’s dig in. 1. Guilt This episode is almost entirely built upon the concept of guilt. Yolanda has good reason to […]

Five Thoughts on Supergirl‘s “Blind Spots”

By Elias Rosner | Sep 22, 2021 | Television

It seems that the MacGuffin hunt I thought would be happening is on hold for another week as we instead drill down to get a good look at inequalities in healthcare and the ever-present specter of conscious and unconscious racism & sexism that comes from even well meaning people. It is, on the whole, far better than the last two episodes but...well, we’ll get into it.
