Once Upon a Time: Sympathy For The De Vill Review

Thats why it wasnt just easy to learn of Cruella DeVilles origins this week, it was delightful. I will take it! But, as Gold often says in his cloying scaly way, magic has a price. Most of these weak spots come courtesy of creators Horowitz and Kitsis. The way the author, Isaac, is painted on the show only serves to underline its existing problems. We are supposed to see this dude as tragic and good, ruined by his own soft heart....

Salem: From Within Review

Mary Sibley takes the frog from her husband’s throat in Salem season 2 episode 3. Here is our review. SPOILER ALERT:Dont read until youve seen it, really. The first sentence is too much. Every episode this season opens with a scary kid segment and they save Lucy Lawless until the end. It works, scary kids are evergreen horror visuals and waiting for Countess Marburg brings a kind of anticipation. This timeSalemtied it together....

The Simpsons: Peeping Mom Review

Dog spelled backwards is Mahershalalhashbaz. Here is our review of The Simpsons season 26 episode 17. The Simpsonsare getting existential. This episode just sort of exists, it just happened, but not much really happened in it. This episode veered very close to the ultimate sin in comedy, being boring. Bart did something bad and Santas Little Helper is being neglected. Two comic chestnuts that have been roasted much better in the past....

The Vampire Diaries: I Could Never Love Like That Review

Will she be made human? Will she be killed? All options but the last one seem possible (and more is the pity, frankly.) I certainly hope so. A dead Elena is not how I want to see Dobrev leave the show. Girlfriend has gotten hers, you guys! And that was with her humanity fully in check! Was anyone else not remotely surprised that Lilly brought Stefan back to himself? Weve gotta get back to Mama Lillys throng of well-dressed dessicated vamps, stat!...

Daredevil episode 9 viewing notes: Speak Of The Devil

The writers of Daredevil are giving that question its due weighty consideration. But that presents us with a problem. How do we approach reviews? The episode opens with Matt fighting an honest-to-god ninja (and losing). During the visit, Fisk himself shows up, rattling Matt and forcing him to excuse himself. As the fight ends, Fisk turns up and goads Matt to try and kill him. Matt succumbs to his rage, but hes too injured to win and gets beaten even further....

Bitten Season 2 Premiere Review

Plenty has changed, but it’s good to have Bitten back. Here’s our premiere review… Aannnnd, were back! A lot has changed with this new season ofBitten, as compared to the first season. The cinematic style, story focus and character profiles have shifted significantly. Just when you thought you were getting to know the ropes, they go and change it! But thats what makes a show fun, in my opinion: Always keep the viewers on their feet!...

Daredevil episode 8 viewing notes: Shadows In The Glass

Daredevil delivers a Kingpin origin episode as good as any fan could hope for. But that presents us with a problem. How do we approach reviews? Its the Kingpin origin episode, and its as good as any fan of Fisk couldve hoped for. Its interesting, too, that from Wesleys expression looks like he didnt know Fisk spoke Chinese and Japanese. Its a small moment, but a nice one for both characters....

The Messengers: Pilot Review

The Messengers may have angels with superpowers, but its overly bombastic themes fail to inspire. It makes for a lackluster pilot with some flashes of visual effects brilliance, but bombastic themes. Or the heavens, for that matter. (But, per The CW contract, he looks excellent shirtless.) Peter, a teenaged swimmer/foster kid, seems more upset about leaving his crush than accidentally killing a dude. The Messengerscould also benefit from a scarier villain....

Daredevil episode 7 viewing notes: Stick

Marvel’s Daredevil gets into Stick’s mythology in episode 7, and does not leave James disappointed. But that presents us with a problem. How do we approach reviews? The episode opens in Japan, with Stick fighting a man while asking after the Black Sky. He learns its heading to New York. In costume, Matt tries to apprehend Owlsley, but hes distracted and tazed when Stick arrives. Meanwhile, Karen is immediately attacked by the people shes looking for (convenient!...

Louie: A la Carte Review

Now thats more like it. Here is our review of Louie season 5, episode 2. A la Carte is a much more interesting episode than the season five premiere. This is mainly evidenced by how it progresses Louies relationship with Pamela (Pamela Adlon). The Pamela plot dominates the episode, but this other stuff is great too. I cant help you, says the cop matter-of-factly. scenes from countless action and war films....

Scandal: I’m Just a Bill Review

is what most Scandal fans will be horrifically screaming after last night’s devastating episode. Here’s our review. This episode, while bloody, was full of empowering speeches and uplifting commentary on thoroughness and justice. But then she turned into this firecracker with a voice and fight that was seemingly unexpected. A classic Shonda Rhimes move. No character is who they appear to be at first. The vice president telling Fitz off was just icing on the cape....
