It may be true that all good things must eventually come to an end, but unfortunately not all good movies end well. Some do, however! Brace yourself for some spoilers, because we’re about to give away some of our favorite movie endings. Deirdre Crimmins Not just my favorite ending to a film, but also my...

Preacher Series Finale Recap: “We’re Not Getting Away with It That Easily”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 02 Oct 2019 12:00:55 +0000

Depending on your viewpoint, that a show as insane and blasphemous as Preacher could last four seasons on the air is either a miracle or a sacrilege. Fans who stuck with it to the end were treated to a wild finale that pulls no punches in its delightful commitment to offending anything a viewer might...

Fear the Walking Dead 5.16 Recap: “I Just Resent Your Face So Much”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 12:00:12 +0000

It would appear that fans haven’t been terribly pleased with recent episodes of Fear the Walking Dead, some going so far as to demand that the network ret-con away this entire season and bring back old cast members who’ve been killed off. That seems ridiculous to me, but I suppose all those disgruntled Game of...

Game of Thrones Series Finale Recap: “Will You Break the Wheel with Me?”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 21 May 2019 12:00:24 +0000

Game of Thrones is over, and I’m sure no one’s happy about it. Those fans who still like the show are sad that it’s over, and the series finale was never likely to change the minds of those who’ve complained all season about how much they hated this last batch of episodes. Let’s be frank,...

The Flash 5.22 Recap: “Just in Time”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 16 May 2019 12:00:42 +0000

The fifth season finale of The Flash is full of a lot of endings, not just for the running storylines, but also for a few major characters. The last episode left off with Barry firing the mirror gun at Cicada’s dagger just as Ralph came to the realization that it was Eobard Thawne’s master plan...

Gotham Series Finale Recap: “Our Story Is Over, Old Friend”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 29 Apr 2019 16:00:18 +0000

After five seasons, Fox’s Gotham ended its run last Thursday with a finale episode that tries very hard not just to wrap up its own storylines, but to tie the entire Batman mythology together. Gotham has often been a very frustrating series. Five seasons is kind of short for a comic book show these days,...

The Walking Dead 9.16 Recap: “Things Fall Apart”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 12:00:58 +0000

Nine years have passed in the real world, but it took this long for The Walking Dead to answer a fairly basic question: What happens to zombies when winter comes around, water freezes, and snow starts falling? This year, The Walking Dead takes a page from Game of Thrones by making the penultimate episode the...

Fear the Walking Dead 4.16 Recap: “There’s Some Fish in This World Just Won’t Be Caught”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 12:00:59 +0000

The fourth season of Fear the Walking Dead started off with such promise, enough to convince some fans that it had surpassed the flagship show. Sadly, much of that flittered away in the back-end of the season, which drew to a close this week in particularly frustrating fashion. The finale begins with a flashback showing...

‘Westworld’ 2.10 Recap: “That Which Is Real Is Irreplaceable”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 26 Jun 2018 12:00:16 +0000

I often feel that ‘Westworld’ is too clever for its own good. That’s never been truer than in the Season 2 finale, which exerts so much effort trying to stay three steps ahead of the audience that I’m not sure it even makes any sense at all. The show does so much time-jumping that, frankly,...

‘The Flash’ 4.23 Recap: “There Will Be No Defeating the Big Bad This Year, Mr. Allen”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 24 May 2018 17:00:34 +0000

As the culmination of a very messy, frustrating season, this week’s finale episode of ‘The Flash’ seemed almost doomed to be unsatisfying. Then again, haven’t all of this show’s finale episodes to date been unsatisfying? While picking up a coffee at Jitters, Capt. Singh calls Barry to tell him the good news that he’s figured...

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 5.22 Recap: “He’s Just One Man”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 24 May 2018 15:00:55 +0000

Filmed before ABC’s last-minute (and frankly unexpected) renewal announcement, the season finale of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ was obviously designed to function as a series finale, right down to the seemingly-definitive title ‘The End’. On that mark, it’d be pretty underwhelming. Coulson is unconscious, his mystery illness finally getting the better of him. The rest of...

‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ Series Finale Recap: “Oh Great, I’ve Doomed Humanity”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 02 May 2018 12:00:52 +0000

After 37 years of playing the character on-and-off, Bruce Campbell is finally hanging up the chainsaw and retiring Ash Williams. In what came as a surprise to fans, the Starz network abruptly announced that the third season finale of ‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ will also be the series finale. Campbell quickly followed with confirmation that...
