I dreaded this. I knew going in that the finale of the ‘X Files’ revival would tie directly to the awful season premiere episode. Somehow, despite setting my expectations as low as possible (is there something lower th...
After taking a week off so that rich rock stars could pat themselves on the back on live television, ‘Supergirl’ returns this week with an episode that seems mostly like filler, but does have a few lessons about ethics...
Oh, ‘Legends of Tomorrow’, aren’t you so clever and meta, giving Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell a storyline about breaking out of a prison? I see what you did there. In fact, it’s kind of hard to miss...
After an episode filled with violence and loss, ‘The Walking Dead’ takes a breather this week and presents one of the more lighthearted entries in the series… well, at least as lighthearted as a show such as this one c...

Although he’s not given story credit (at least not in the opening credits), this week’s episode of ‘Supergirl’, titled ‘For the Girl Who Has Everything’, is actually based on a 1985 comic writte...
