'The Flash' 3×20 Review: 'I Know Who You Are'

In a season of The Flash where Barry Allen had become the villain of his own story, ironically that proved to be true in terms of storytelling, as well. After the long, dragged out process of dangling Savitar’s identity in…

'Supergirl' 2×19 Review: 'Alex'

Arrow 5×18 Review: 'Disbanded'

I’m not going to sugarcoat it. Arrow hasn’t been great this season. It hasn’t even been good. For the longest time it felt like it was a lost puppy trying to find its way home. And it finally has. Following…

Supergirl 2×17 Review: ‘Distant Sun’

Supergirl 2×16 Review: 'Star-Crossed'

Character development. They’re the simplest of words, and yet it’s one of the most difficult things to execute in storytelling. But that’s exactly what Supergirl managed to do in “Star-Crossed,” as it showed tremendous growth for both Kara and Mon-El…

DC TV: 8 Things We Learned From Paleyfest

Supernatural 12×15 Review: Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell

Supernatural’s ‘Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell’ was a deceptively “basic” episode that used blasts from the past via hellhounds, sexy glasses, the Winchesters, an ex crossroads demon, and Lucifer himself, to make you believe that it was nothing but a…

Supergirl 2×14 Review: 'Homecoming'

The Flash 3×13 Review: 'Attack on Gorilla City'

While I come to these DC Comics shows for the characters that give me a reason for watching, that doesn’t mean that I can’t just appreciate a good ol’ fashioned comic book storyline that brings Flash lore to life. We’re…

The “Good” Part of Saying “Goodbye” To The Vampires Diaries

The Flash 3×12 Review: 'Untouchable'

When it comes to superhero television shows, particularly DC television, these series are at their best when they let the characters drive the plot. Sometimes it’s really easy to get lost in said plot due to the epicness of the…

The Crown Episode 1: Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Crown

Buckingham Palace. Now I don’t know about you, but I have always been intrigued by what lies behind the gates. Maybe that’s why I was willing to sit down for 10 hours and not move as I watched every episode…
