In “Sara,” Arrow handles the death of a major character in a way that so rarely happens on superhero or genre shows: the series actually allows the characters to spend an entire episode processing the devastating loss. Far too often, when a character is killed on a genre show (or, really, most television shows), the […]
The second episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show introduces us to a couple of new additions to the sideshow troupe and intensifies the friction between the town of Jupiter and its new residents. While things aren’t as harmonious as they could be within the troupe, Dandy and Twisty initiate what could be the beginning […]
Agents of SHIELD’s darker second season continued this week with its fourth episode, “Face My Enemy”. In short, it’s an entertaining episode with some satisfying arcing, but kind of left without answering too many questions. Still, this season continues to prove its superiority to at least the first half of the previous one. Let me […]
War has certainly begun but over Arkham? In a game of tag, Falcone and Maroni managed to sway the vote for Arkham. This episode was certainly an episode of plans with Cobblepot and Mooney. Cobblepot has set his plans in motion, Mooney is up to something and Maroni is getting ahead in the game. By […]
Well, that was a pretty darn amazing hour of television. For a show that so often has trouble balancing character and action, “No Sanctuary” proved that The Walking Dead can, in fact, give viewers a little bit of everything without sacrificing quality. I am so incredibly impressed with what went down in this episode, that I’m […]
The Legend of Korra continued this week with its second episode, “Korra Alone”. With the last episode acting mostly as set-up can this episode hook us in? Beware the spoilers below! Plot The bulk of the episode takes place three years prior to the first episode, wherein Korra heads to the South Pole in order […]
American Horror Story is back with yet another relentless, over the top, ostentatious iteration and it is gloriously awesome. This season, Freak Show follows a group of sideshow performers led by Jessica Lange’s Elsa Mars as they struggle to maintain whatever is left of their attraction alive. When Elsa stumbles upon a set of conjoined […]
Everyone’s favorite hooded vigilante returned for this third season on Wednesday, and man, was “The Calm” anything but. The episode contained all of the best aspects of the series: Felicity being awesome, the Arrow fighting in epic battle sequences, Detective/Captain Lance offering up witty repartee, and little to no Laurel/Thea. It was about as well-constructed […]
Ah Gotham City, the city filled with thieving children of the future, exploiting cops, the LA Noir-ish detectives, and falling men. The third installment of Gotham brings out the first vigilante with a unique form of punishment. Using the same pattern as the last episode, I have come to accept that the pace and order […]
A scant few months since Book Three of The Legend of Korra ended, we now find ourselves back at it with Book Four. Titled “Balance”, it, coincidentally, takes place a whole three years after the end of the last book. Like the last half of the previous season, each episode is airing online in an effort […]
