Star Wars Rebels: Always Two There Are Review

This episode features some of the best voice acting and dialogue this season. ThisStar Wars Rebelsreview contains spoilers. The thrust of the episode comes from the search for medical supplies on an abandoned Old Republic space station. Both the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother bring the promise of strong personalities to the show. If the Seventh Sisters elegance hides impatience, maybe the Fifth Brothers bluntness hides a dark sort of mercy....

Supernatural: Baby Review

What could have been a forgettable filler episode gets a unique and creative twist… ThisSupernaturalreview contains spoilers. This is an example of a bottle episode. Some angles within the car were very extreme, almost fish-eyed. But thats film school bunk so dont listen to it. By the middle, the episode hit its stride and presented an entertaining look at life with the Winchesters. Some of the dialogue and characterization was a little off, so I checked who wrote the episode....

The Flash: Fury of Firestorm review

Franz Drameh makes his debut as The Flash builds towards Legends of Tomorrow. Here’s our “Fury of Firestorm” review. This The Flash review contains spoilers. Normally, I might say that as a bad thing. The other shortcomings are Firestorm related, as well. It felt a little lazy. But back to the good stuff. Barrys chemistry with Patty Spivot is legit, and thats a relationship that absolutely should blossom. Its irritating, and this show is too good for that....

WWE 2K16 Review

You find an engine that works and you re-release it. And you re-release it again. You add new stuff in there. As many bells and whistles to keep people interested outside of the ever-changing roster of playable characters. The problem comes when you realize how worn out everythings become. Thats what happened last year withWWE 2K15. They started anew with a style that grounded the game and added forlaugh if you willrealism....

Celebrating TV’s evil twins and oddball doubles

Evil goatees, facial ticks and eyepatches… Remember these classic takes on TVs evil twin trope? It ramps up the fun and fantasy, or delivers a fabulous freak-out moment. Science fiction feels like the natural habitat of doubles. The audience is already suspending their disbelief, so whats one more? Hands-down one of the best uses of twins (or multiples) is from the 2004 reboot ofBattlestar Galactica.

iZombie: Even Cowgirls Get The Black and Blues Review

Liv turns a little bit country, while Major finally admits that he needs help. This iZombie review contains spoilers. Major needs help. Good move for her. Bad moment for an increasingly spiraling Major. Majors breaking point isnt zombie murder. It isnt his drug problem. It isnt even Liv letting him go. (Those these all no doubt play a part.) The drug problem is just a symptom; Max Rager is much more potentially devastating....

The X-Files: Glen and Darin Morgan Come Home

During the X-Files writers panel at EW Fest, Glen and Darin Morgan discussed their re-opening of The X-Files. I think the things [The X-Files] did early on kind of came true.

So I had an opportunity withThe X-Files....

Fargo: The Myth of Sisyphus

Fargo’s “The Myth of Sisyphus” furthers this fantastic, post-modern, black-comedy crime story. This Fargo review contains spoilers. The larger narrative being told is a struggle between a small time crime family and corporatized mafiosos. Strip away the crime element and the tale shares many themes of post-modern cinema. Notice how Brad Garretts character speaks in economic terms like research and markets, pluses and minuses. I also really like the formal introduction that were given to Simone Gerhardt....
