The Flash / Arrow crossover of 2015 kicks off with an episode that gets the Legends of Tomorrow together. Here’s our review. This Flash review contains spoilers. And what an entrance he makes!

As a kid, Gonzo was one of my favorite Muppets. Hes had very little spotlight so far and when hes been focused on, its rarely been good. Going, Going, Gonzo is like the show remembering who and what Gonzo is supposed to be. Piggy isnt exactly happy with Gonzo, making it a challenge to get her to approve. A normal sitcom would probably make that the big conflict, but its nothing more than an amusing roadblock....
This Fargo review contains spoilers. Fargo Season 2 Episode 8 Those last 20 minutes. Oh man, those last 20 minutes. However, I could take or leave the first 40 minutes. Its not that anything was particularly bad. Filling in the holes was nice, but were just covering treaded ground. I suppose that the episodes true intent was to give more characterization to Peggy and Hanzee. Her explaining the Blumquists innocence after repeatedly stabbing Dodd is perhaps the funniest scene of the season....

If we cant get behind her actions, who are we supposed to identify with? Its not that she isnt sympathetic, its that shes constantly on the cusp of total incompetence....
Hes missing a nose on his face. Its been ripped off. On the magic of consuming young adult stories as an adult. And I dont think we ever lose our teenage selves. And I also never, ever write down to teenagers. On not splitting The Death Cure into two films. Interestingly, 20th Century Fox is eschewing that trend and keepingThe Death Cureas one film. How did Dashner feel about that decision?...
Red Tornado makes his debut on Supergirl this week. Here’s Mike’s review… This Supergirl review contains spoilers. Supergirl Season 1 Episode 6 I really wanted to like Red Faced. And not just because it introduced Red Tornado, although that was certainly part of it. The problem is that this isnt a problem that gets solved in 45 minutes of story.

Carrie Mathison and Saul Berenson spring a trap for the mole in the best Homeland episode of the season. This Homeland review contains spoilers. Homelandas a TV series has become a lot like its tragic protagonist in many ways. Season 4 also offered some series highs before delivering a truly unsatisfying conclusion. Equally satisfying is the moment of Carries discovery about Saul and Allison. Maybe she still can be? Allison looks over her shoulder repeatedly for the purported Popeye Doyle....
Is Into the Badlands improving, or are we just getting used to it? Maybe a little of both… Into the Badlands Season 1 Episode 3 This time onInto the Badlands, stuff happens. More stuff than usual.

This The Leftovers review contains spoilers. The Leftovers Season 2 Episode 9 I have often praisedThe Leftoversfor the use of its ensemble cast.
