A Closer Look: Flash – “Trajectory”

After a few weeks off, The Flash returned last night with a powerful episode that not only set up some great possible future plans, but also gave our heroes the same dramatic revelation we all had a few weeks back. How can Barry get faster? What is in store for Jesse and the others? And…

A Closer Look: Supergirl – “Manhunter”

After last week’s episode “Falling” – the greatest Supergirl episode yet – this week’s episode not only keep up the pace by showing all the repercussions of those events; but also by giving us a ton of both historical and character-driven backstories for J’Onn, Alex and Kara. This week was all about fitting in and…

A Closer Look: The Walking Dead: “Twice As Far”

This week’s episode of The Walking Dead dealt with usually ‘book smart’ people using this peaceful period to try their hand at being field ready. Sadly for them, the Saviors had other plans. While some characters dealt with their monster side, the real monsters were beginning to form a counter attack – which may or…

A Closer Look: Supergirl – “Falling”

One thing that Supergirl as a series has been able to do is pair incredibly powerful stories/lessons while also invoking an impressive understanding and respect for Superman history – especially Superman: The Animated Series.

Either way, Supergirl has become something that fans new and old can get behind and fall in love with. So it’s only right that this week’s episode tackled one of the most troubling and heart wrenching Superman storylines/themes – what happens when they go bad?

This week’s Supergirl brought a very familiar place – and somewhat face – into the fold as Supergirl headed to the Fortress of Solitude to devise a plan to stop Indigo (aka Brainiac 8). This episode was all about continuing the drama from week’s prior, while also setting up some new and unexpected twists. So…

Arrow: “Taken” – Looking Ahead

Another week, another Arrow-ing Adventure! And much like recent weeks I’m severely disappointed in… some other reviews! Whereas some might say that “vixen didn’t do anything” or “where’s the dramas”, this episode was overwhelming in terms of Vixen badassery as well as the drama. The underlying tensions were palpable and the outcome of Vixen’s presence…

A Closer Look: The Flash “King Shark”

The Flash has returned from Earth-2, but what did he leave behind. Is traveling between dimensions the same as traveling through time. Can you influence a reality like the events of time, or is the only thing influence you yourself? That’s precisely what this week’s episode dealt with as well as the shocking reveal of…
