‘Timeless’ 2×03 Review: You Saved My Life
Before we get into this glorious episode that’s almost fanfic come to life, I want to start by making a list of things I really, really didn’t need to see in this episode, or any episode, really. It’s a short…
‘Black Lightning’ 1×08 Review: ”The Book of Revelations”
The Book of Revelations did a good job of revealing quite a bit, but still left us with some secrets to unravel. While I enjoyed most aspects of this week’s episode, I have to admit that I was a bit underwhelmed…

‘The Flash’ 4×15 Review: ‘Enter Flashtime’

‘The X-Files’ 11×08 Review: (Un) Familiar Snoozefest
So often it feels like there are only two kinds of episodes of TV: the really, really good ones, or the terrible ones. Sadly, that is not the case, because both those options make for easier reviews than the one…

Hook, Mon-El and Felicity: Ship Bias or Actual Problematic Characters?
To ship or not to ship, to like a character or not like a character. Sometimes, the two are intertwined. And yet, sometimes, the writers make characters into people you absolutely can’t root for, and that colors your idea of…
Between The Lines: A Conversation
Fandoms are complicated, is the conclusion we’re getting at, I think. Representation is not a clear-cut matter of having “people like you” on TV, but it goes much further than that. The conversations we have in regards to these matters…
‘Arrow’ 6×06 Review: ‘Promises Kept’
If there’s anything I dislike on television it’s when shows sometimes forget who their characters are. Where their thoughts, actions, and feelings don’t match the overall character. This was an issue in last week’s episode of Arrow, “Deathstroke Returns,” and…

‘The Blacklist’ 5×07 Review: ‘The Kilgannon Corporation’
Last night’s emotional tour de force “The Kilgannon Corporation” was the best episode The Blacklist has ever done, and no I’m not exaggerating. The characters were perfectly balanced, the writing was spectacular, the plot was intense and emotional, and the…
‘Arrow’ 6×05 Review: ‘Deathstroke Returns’
While Arrow’s sixth season has managed to get the show back to its winning formula, its fifth hour has failed this fan. I have to say, any episode that succeeded last week’s incredible hour was bound to be a letdown…

‘Arrow’ 6×03: ‘Next of Kin’ Roundtable
Arrow is Arrow again! Hallelujah! We didn’t really think we’d be here, not after the travesty that was Season 5, but here we are and this almost feels like a celebration. We care again! We can do something other than…
‘The Gifted’ 1×05 Review: An Eye For An Eye?
