Feature: Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts (Episode 7: Mulholland)

Five Six Thoughts on Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts’ “Mulholland”

By Mark Tweedale | Feb 29, 2020 | Television

Welcome back to Multiversity Comics’ Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts reviews. This week there’s a rainbow floor, a mutant mom, a collective of tardigrades hungry for brain energy, a mega-buff Kipo, and a bonus thought. I know. Shocking, right? “Mulholland” Written by Taylor Chapulín Orcí Directed by Chase Conley 1. Mandu’s dream Let’s face […]

Five Thoughts on Katy Keene‘s “Chapter Four: Here Comes the Sun”

By Quinn Tassin | Feb 28, 2020 | Television

Welcome to our coverage of Katy Keene! The CW’s newest series is a glitzy, warm, escapist spinoff of Riverdale and with any luck, it’ll be the next big thing on the network. This week, the show is coming in hot with its fourth episode, “Here Comes the Sun.” 1. The Show Finds The Perfect Tone […]

Five Thoughts On October Faction’s “Bonds of Blood”

By James Dowling | Feb 28, 2020 | Television

Welcome back for the ninth and penultimate instalment of the biweekly October Faction review! This was a very middle tier episode that sort of had to tie up loose ends after the last four episodes of reveals and revelations, but at least there were some feel-good themes. Spoilers ahead 1. Remember when this was a […]

Five Thoughts on Riverdale‘s “How to Get Away with Murder”

By Elias Rosner | Feb 27, 2020 | Television

It’s been three seasons but Riverdale is back to riding high on that good, good murder pulp. It’s been a while since the show’s fired on all cylinders like this week. It only took a half season’s worth of build up and a bit of faffing about to really lay the groundwork. Much as I loathe to admit it, this story wouldn’t have worked as well in a shorter season. Dammit Riverdale!

The Flash 413 Grodd Friended Me

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “Grodd Friended Me”

By Ramon Piña | Feb 26, 2020 | Television

Hi folks! Welcome back to our weekly recap of The Flash. This week’s episode is named “Grodd Friended Me,” and I am all for seeing Grodd again, I very much enjoy this episode every season when Grodd comes and a big CGI-fight occurs, so let’s dive right in. 1. Getting to know a new earth […]

Legends of Tomorrow Mortal Khanbat

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “Mortal Khanbat”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Feb 26, 2020 | Television

This week on Legends of Tomorrow, the gang discovered Genghis Khan plotting to kidnap Prince Charles during the handover of Hong Kong in 1997. (To quote Ava, “an authoritarian power wants to control Hong Kong? Sounds familiar.”) Meanwhile, Ray accompanied Constantine and Gary back to the exorcist’s house to help him find a magical cure […]

Five Thoughts on Doctor Who’s “Ascension of the Cybermen”

By Kate Kosturski | Feb 25, 2020 | Television

Well, my Whovian friends. We’ve made it. The sophomore season of the Chibnall-Whittaker era of Doctor Who was no stranger to risks while embracing the series’s long history. But that ambition proved a double edged sword, as it seemed time and again a show in search of a way to sustain momentum and bring all that […]

Five Thoughts on Black Lightning‘s “The Book of War: Chapter One: Homecoming”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Feb 25, 2020 | Television

After their humiliating defeat in the last episode, the Markovians began encircling Freeland on this week’s Black Lightning, and everyone’s seeking closure – Lynn asked her family to help her end her addiction; Odell agreed to Jefferson and Gray’s bargain; Brandon confronted Jace; Gambi settled his score with Lady Eve; and Khalil confronted his evil […]

Five Thoughts On Locke & Key’s “Head Games”

By Jaina Hill | Feb 25, 2020 | Television

Welcome back to Matheson. I’m a lover of the comic “Locke & Key” but my relationship with the show Locke & Key is slowly shifting in a pessimistic direction. Open mindedness is giving way to another emotion, one I don’t have a word for. Something ancient, and possibly eldritch. This may be how those who […]

Five Thoughts on Supergirl‘s “It’s a Super Life”

By Elias Rosner | Feb 24, 2020 | Television

100 episodes of Supergirl. If you had asked me when I took over this column from Alice back at the start of season 3, I would have told you this show wouldn’t last past season three. The writing never knew what it wanted to be, the villains always half-baked, and the pacing all over the place.

October Faction Alice Featured

Five Thoughts On October Faction’s “Alice”

By James Dowling | Feb 24, 2020 | Television

Welcome back to the eighth instalment of the biweekly October Faction review! “Alice” was, quite frankly, a mess. I don’t know how the show just completely devolved into cliche and empty, wooden scenes in the space of one episode, but this was a complete slump. But that means I get to pick it apart for […]

Five Thoughts on Harley Quinn‘s “The Final Joke”

By Carl Waldron | Feb 24, 2020 | Television

Season 1 of Harley Quinn comes to a close, and what an enjoyable debut season it turned out to be. DC is well known for its exceptional animated features and series, and Harley Quinn has joined the godly animated pantheon. The more relatable yet turned-up-to-11 versions of your favorite villains and heroes (Jim Gordon is […]

my hero academia episode 82

Five Thoughts On My Hero Academia‘s “Prepping for the School Festival Is the Funnest Part”

By Rowan Grover | Feb 23, 2020 | Television

The arc continues this week, folks, as we see more of My Hero Academia and the students planning for the festival ahead of them. We see more of the… threat, I suppose, that the gang is completely oblivious to in Gentle Criminal, and some interesting plot points are revealed on this episode! Read on! 1. […]

Five Thoughts on Star Trek Picard‘s “Stardust City Rag”

By Liz Farrell | Feb 22, 2020 | Television

Star Trek got dark for a moment, my friends. Star Trek got dark. 1. Seven of Nine The opening of this episode could rival any torture porn movie franchise of the past 15 years with its attack on a character we know from Voyager, Icheb, a former Borg drone, now Starfleet officer, Seven of Nine […]

Feature: Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts (Episode 6: Ratland)

Five Thoughts on Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts’ “Ratland”

By Mark Tweedale | Feb 22, 2020 | Television

Welcome back to Multiversity Comics’ Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts reviews. This week there’s a can-can, canned cheese, cheesiness, unabashed sincerity, and giant two-headed flamingos on the hunt. “Ratland” Written by Bill Wolkoff Directed by Chase Conley 1. At last, Scarlemagne makes an appearance! I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t this—and […]

Five Thoughts on Katy Keene‘s “Chapter Three: What Becomes of the Broken Hearted”

By Quinn Tassin | Feb 21, 2020 | Television

Welcome back to our coverage of Katy Keene! The CW’s newest series is a glitzy, warm, escapist spinoff of Riverdale and with any luck, it’ll be the next big thing on the network. As of episode 3, the show still hasn’t quite lived up to the weightless joy of its pilot, but this late Valentine’s […]

Five Thoughts On October Faction’s “Nadir”

By James Dowling | Feb 21, 2020 | Television

Welcome back for the seventh instalment of the (supposedly) biweekly October Faction review! This was definitely a rockier episode following a couple of really stand-out ones. We got some new reveals (most pretty obvious, but they were there) and we got a lot of weird choices that might come back to bite the show in […]

Stumptown At All Cost Featured

Five Thoughts on Stumptown‘s “At All Costs: The Conrad Costas Chronicles”

By Reid Carter | Feb 21, 2020 | Television

Welcome back gumshoes! Stumptown has been on a bit of a hotstreak lately, coming off three very strong episodes in a row. This season had a very shaky start and several clunky storylines, but the cast has clicked into place nicely and the week to week shenanigans are really starting to sing. How can they […]

The Flash 612 A Girl Named Sue

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “A Girl Named Sue”

By Ramon Piña | Feb 19, 2020 | Television

Hi folks! Welcome back to our weekly recap of The Flash. This week’s episode is named “A Girl Named Sue,” and I’m really excited because the most important storyline (personally) of the season is finally taking a big leap forward: Ralph’s love interest is here! I swear I have been waiting for this moment all […]

Five Thoughts on Legends of Tomorrow‘s “A Head of Her Time”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Feb 19, 2020 | Television

Aloha! This week’s resurrection on Legends of Tomorrow came in the form of Marie Antoinette in Versailles, 1793, who – for some reason – resembled Nora Darhk, and was killing the Revolution by serving peasants actual cake. Fortunately, with party girl Zari at her side, she was no trouble at all for acting captain Ava […]
