By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Feb 9, 2021 | Television

Hard to believe, but thanks to the pandemic, it’s been almost a year since season 3 of Black Lightning ended. The show has now returned for its fourth and final run, which picks up with Jefferson and his family in similarly real time: let’s dive straight in. 1. One Year Later There’s no signs of […]

Five Thoughts on Hilda’s “The Deerfox”

By Matthew Garcia | Feb 9, 2021 | Television

Hands down, Twig is the best character on Hilda. Sure, he most often is shown running in the background, or used when the animators need a quick reaction shot, but he has the greatest expressions, the most enduring personality, and such a graceful gait it’s impossible not to love him. At least if you have […]

WandaVision - On A Very Special Episode

Five Thoughts on WandaVision‘s “On a Very Special Episode”

By Carl Waldron | Feb 8, 2021 | Television

Five Thoughts on episode five of WandaVision. What can you even say about such an uneventful episode? Is there a word more fitting than mediocre? Has sarcasm ever been fully realized in writing? I’m sure it has but not in my write-ups, so let’s drop the act. Holy fudge, what a fantastic episode! Remember when […]

By Elias Rosner | Feb 4, 2021 | Television

Did you expect to cry? I didn’t expect to cry. Why did I cry? God dammit Riverdale made me cry…again! What a way to start season 5 proper.

SnowpiercerS2E2

Five Thoughts on Snowpiercer‘s “Smolder to Life”

By Corrina Lawson | Feb 2, 2021 | Television

In the season 2 premiere of Snowpiercer, Melanie permanently coupled Big Alice and Snowpiercer to each other. The big question for this episode, “Smolder to Life,” is how Andre Layton, now leader of Snowpiercer via martial law, will deal with the presence of the malevolent but charming Mr. Wilford. And deal with Wilford he must, […]

Hilda 207

Five Thoughts on Hilda’s “The Fifty Year Night”

By Matthew Garcia | Feb 2, 2021 | Television

Spoilers abound. 1.) Unstuck in Time At their core, time travel stories are about atonement and retribution. From time loop comedies (Russian Doll, Palm Springs) to timeline-hopping adventures (Time Bandits, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure), from the “scientifically accurate” bloats (Interstellar, Primer) to the reality-altering thrillers (Looper, 12 Monkeys), characters, unstuck in time, confronted with […]

By Joe Skonce | Feb 1, 2021 | Television

It’s a new day in Gotham. With a missing Batwoman and her psychopathic sister still threatening the city, Gotham needs a new protector. Kate Kane has left quite the legacy to fill, but maybe the best way to fight crime is to know the system itself. The world needs a hero. Will Ryan rise to […]

WandaVision-We Interrupt This Program

Five Thoughts on WandaVision‘s “We Interrupt This Program”

By Carl Waldron | Feb 1, 2021 | Television

Oh sweet, blessed story and context. In the immortal words of John McClane, “Welcome to the party, pal.” WandaVision episode four gives us some much-needed story momentum and clarity on a whole mess of plot points. A strong selling point of all the new Marvel streaming series is their connection to the much wider MCU. […]

Five Thoughts on Resident Alien‘s “Pilot”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Jan 28, 2021 | Television

Syfy’s adaptation of Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse’s “Resident Alien,” starring Alan Tudyk, has been in the works for a long time: to put it in perspective, Tudyk’s casting was announced the same day Brec Bassinger was cast in Stargirl. Well, it’s finally here, and the first episode is an unexpectedly dark, funny, and poignant […]

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “The Preppy Murders”

By Elias Rosner | Jan 28, 2021 | Television

I gotta tell ya, I’m riding high after this episode but I’m also deeply disappointed that they clearly had settled on a resolution and changed it up starting with this season, most likely to make sure things were able to transition more smoothly into a season arc. But before we get to that: VINDICATION!

Snowpiercer S2E1

Five Thoughts on Snowpiercer‘s “The Time of Two Engines”

By Corrina Lawson | Jan 26, 2021 | Television

When we last left the passengers on Snowpiercer, they were about to be boarded by Mr. Wilford himself. After Melanie stole his original train, Wilford took the supply train “Big Alice” and stalked Snowpiercer for seven years. Now he’s got them literally by the tail. But after the events of tonight’s premiere episode, “The Time […]

Hilda 207

Five Thoughts on Hilda’s “The Beast of Cauldron Island”

By Matthew Garcia | Jan 26, 2021 | Television

At the end of the last episode, Erik Ahlberg and his cronies awakened something lurking deep in the ocean depths. Something with bright, penetrating eyes. Something so large it could only exist underwater. And now, the creature has arrived in “The Beast of Cauldron Island.” (As always, spoilers ahead.) 1.) It’s Coming…. Written by Tom […]

Five Thoughts on Batwoman‘s “Prior Criminal History”

By Joe Skonce | Jan 25, 2021 | Television

It’s a new day in Gotham. With a missing Batwoman and her psychopathic sister still threatening the city, Gotham needs a new protector. Kate Kane has left quite the legacy to fill, but maybe the best way to fight crime is to know the system itself. The world needs a hero. Will Ryan rise to […]

WandaVision Episode 3 Now in Color

Five Thoughts on WandaVision’s “Now in Color”

By Carl Waldron | Jan 25, 2021 | Television

WandaVision returns, and in color! We hop ahead once again, this time to the ’70s, with its tacky shirts and platform shoes. This week we see our stars deal with rapid parenthood, we get a little more intimate with Geraldine, and the plot takes a big step forward at the end. In between, the show […]

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “Climax”

By Elias Rosner | Jan 21, 2021 | Television

…Hello? …Y’all still there? *taps on mic* Is this thing on? Good. Good. Ahem. Welcome back all you Riverdale fans! It’s been a while since last we chatted. I know time is fake and 2020 has collectively proven that it’s a malleable construct such that in the 8 1/2 months that have passed since the […]

Five Thoughts on WandaVision‘s “Don’t Touch That Dial”

By Carl Waldron | Jan 20, 2021 | Television

The Marvel Double Feature continues with episode two of WandaVision. We skip forward in decades and get a dedicated Bewitched homage this episode, right down to the twitchy magic movements and hijinks. We take another baby step towards understanding our heroes’ dilemma while getting some good old fashion weirdness baked in. Once again, Elizabeth Olsen […]

Snowpiercer Episode 2 Featured 2

The Problems and Politics of Snowpiercer Season One

By Corrina Lawson | Jan 19, 2021 | Television

It can take a whole season before a promising science fiction show to display its true colors. That was the case with Snowpiercer season 1 and, sadly, the revelation was a disappointment. The show initially focused on the class struggle between the poor, desperate, and forgotten “Tailies” literally at the back of the train versus […]
