If you’ve ever read Flatland by Edwin A Abbott, then you were well prepared for all the spatially abstract WTF-ness that this week’s episode of Doctor Who entitled “Flatline” brought to the table. “Flatline” had all the makings of a suspenseful/scary episode like “Blink” and “Listen”; but sadly missed the “relatability”. Though despite all this…
As we expected, this week’s episode of Arrow focused heavily on the repercussion of Sarah Lance’s death. Slade might be gone; but this was quite possibly the saddest/hardest-hitting episode since Moira Queen dies in the later half of Season 2. Everyone dealt with the news a different way – some even as complete opposites -;…
In case there was any fear of The Flash becoming ‘slow’ as it settled into it’s second episode, think again! With origins out of the way the Flash is now on his way to becoming the hero we know he can be; but there’s still a few roadblocks he must overcome. So let’s take a…
I might have felt last week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was a little slow; but this episode made up for it ten times over. With action, espionage and heart wrenching revelations, this episode kept us glued to our seats and reminded us just how real the threats are in this post S.H.I.E.L.D. world. Though “Face My…
With Ichabod learning to drive and our heroes putting an end to a centuries old curse, it seems like the forces of good are finally starting to win this war. Though sadly, appearances are not always what they seem to be: and the tides are about to turn for the worse. With War controlling Irving’s…
After last season’s climactic cliffhanger moment, The Walking Dead finally returned to AMC last night; and with it we saw the most brutal and over the top episode of series – if not television itself. From slitting throats and cannibalism to threatening to snap a baby’s neck, it’s no wonder Steven Yeun (Glenn) asked “How…
Call it a great pun or an easy joke; but just don’t call “Mummy on the Orient Express” a boring episode. With only 66 seconds to save a life, this episode gave us a great sense of urgency as well as an all-telling honest reveal by the doctor himself. Throw in some new sinister characters,…
As the old saying goes, “the calm always comes before the storm”; and considering last night’s episode of Arrow was entitled the calm, the show perfectly followed that style. Trouble is coming to Starling City and after two terrorist attacks in as many years, we have to wonder what new threat will arise. Though thankfully,…
After the – basically – two part season 2 kick off, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. settled into it’s 3rd episode of the season. Though whether it was the ‘stuck in 2nd gear’ feel of a 3rd episode or the added stress of it following The Flash on the CW, this episode didn’t leave many lasting impressions.…
Spin-offs are always a funny thing. Sometimes they’re successful like Frasier was with Cheers; other times they’re like Joey was with Friends. It’s all about having the right dynamic and keeps things similar enough to the root show; but also making them distinct. Last night’s premier of The Flash did all this perfectly! Considering it’s…
