Powers: Level 13 Review

Powers surprised our reviewer this week with how tense and exciting it was. Here is our review… Okay, Im really excited to tell you thatPowerswasnt the worst this week. In fact, I was really taken by Level 13, even excited during several moments in the episode. Wow, I even cared about Christian this week, which almost never happens.

Community: Advanced Safety Features Review

Give us a rapid-fire joke machine, or give us NBC Community. The main reason it works is because its the best-plotted episode yet. Advanced Safety Features keeps its two main storylines mostly under control. This time Britta enters into a more serious, but terribly problematic relationship with him. The nice thing about it is that the plots all tie into each other tidily. Ad content continues below In truth, on further inspection, some of it doesnt quite hold up....

Daredevil’s Kingpin is Marvel’s Best Villain

Loki continues to have a complicated relationship with just about every other character. Wilson Fisk is the only other villain who has even come close to being so complex and watchable. But its not the what that makes him so interesting, as much as the why and the how. DOnofrios performance is a big part of why the character works so well. As mentioned, he wants to tear down whats there so that he can build something new....

Sailor Moon Crystal: Act 20 Crystal Tokyo/King Endymion Review

We got more development of the Crystal Tokyo characters in a solid effort from Sailor Moon Crystal. Theres a lot of exposition in this episode, but its handled very well. They considered it to be a violation of natural law. The background we get on Sailor Pluto section is also very strong, and shes used very well here. After all, there was plenty of other ground to cover anyway. However, it does feel a little out of place in this episode....

The Following: Kill the Messenger Review

(Sorry, Connie Nielsen and Sam Underwood. I hope this season comes to a satisfying end. That being said, lets discuss Kill The Messenger. The tactic has been overdone and annoying for weeks as it is. Theyre tricks to exploit the emotions of viewers, and lowbrow tricks at that. It is acting like coded information Strauss kept safe. Tom and Mike have more awkward tension. Why must this continue? Why wouldnt Tom confront Mike?...

Otherwise, the captain and crew were liable to be hanged as pirates. However, a ship could displayanyflag right up until the moment it started to attack. It was a giant game of rock-paper-scissors on the high seas, with cannon....

Daredevil episode 10 viewing notes: Nelson V. Murdock

But that presents us with a problem. How do we approach reviews? Matt tries to defend his actions while slowly recovering from his wounds. Meanwhile, Urich visits his ill wife and decides that hes ready to quit the investigation. Earlier in the episode Fisk speaks with Gao, who warns him that Vanessa is a distraction. I love all the flashback stuff in this episode. Even if it does resort to putting a hilariously bad wig on characters to make them look younger....
