What to ramble about through this first paragraph so no spoilers show up when I link to Facebook? Well, apparently my comment about Arrow taking a break next week because Flash is was wrong. The preview for the next episode didn't say "in two weeks" or "Returning on November 11," the way the Flash preview did. But I'm pretty sure that means a break ( Read more... )

The one thing I can say about this episode in my usual opening paragraph non-spoiler banter is that I'm very bummed CW is already playing their usual scheduling games: after tonight, the show doesn't resume new episodes until November 11th (which means, concurrently, Arrow will take the same time off after tomorrow night and return on November 12th ( Read more... )

Trying to get back in the habit of writing my reviews right after the episodes air. I probably should be writing the Flash review first since that aired earlier tonight, but since I'm in SHIELD mode I may as well go ahead and write this one, yeah? Especially since there's no new SHIELD episode next week, while ABC airs a special about Marvel's 75 ( Read more... )

This is a review of last week's episode of SHIELD, written during the commercial breaks for this week's. I've really been trying to be good about writing these reviews right after the episodes air and this review reminds me why -- I'm sure there's stuff to comment on that I'm forgetting, as with the Flash review I posted earlier tonight.  Which is ( Read more... )

Three episodes into the season, and with a full-season pick-up announced (which doesn't guarantee a second season, but hopefully guarantees the show will make it to DVD even if it did somehow manage to not get renewed), I have to say I've almost completely forgotten that Grant Gustin was also on Glee. The characters of Sebastian and Barry are so ( Read more... )

So the big news about ONCE this past week was that ABC officially ordered an extra hour for this season; as this was right after producer Adam Horowitz tweeted that the 8th episode of the season would be two hours long, I think we can assume that's where the extra hour is going. As this half-season continues to move storyline forward each week ( Read more... )

Almost a week late, but I did finally watch the third episode of Arrow over the weekend. I still have plenty of other TV from last week to catch up on, but as usual for me post-trip, I spent a good portion of this weekend sleeping rather than watching tv or reading. So some of those episodes might get skipped (in terms of reviews, at least) so that ( Read more... )

What to ramble about for a paragraph so that no spoilers will show up in the link to this review when I post it to Facebook? Well, whether you're loving it or hating it, you have to admit the addition of the Frozen characters has changed the way Once Upon A Time is telling its stories. Flashbacks are proceeding in chronological order, making the ( Read more... )

Much has been made the past few days about Warner Brother's announcement of a full slate of Justice League-related movies over the next 5 years, including basic confirmation of what Geoff Johns said over the summer: that the DCTVU and DCMovieU would not in any way overlap or connect.  And you know what? Given how grim and hopeless the world seems ( Read more... )

A week and a half late, but here it is: my thoughts on the Arrow Season Three premiere, which will be followed in short order tonight by my thoughts on episode two. I had considered putting it all in one review, but it's better for consistency's sake to do two different reviews, and so that's what I'm doing.  As usual, SPOILERS ABOUND behind the ( Read more... )
