‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 3.20 Recap: “This Is an End of the World Type Deal”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 16 May 2016 19:00:31 +0000

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ doesn’t always make an effort to tie its plot to the release of every new Marvel superhero movie, but the events of ‘Captain America: Civil War’ were apparently significant enough to warrant a mention. The tie-in here isn’t quite the game-changer that ‘The Winter Soldier’ brought back in Season 1, but will...

‘Agent Carter’ 2.10 Recap: “Everything Is Where It Belongs”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 08 Mar 2016 14:00:13 +0000

I gave up recapping ‘Agent Carter’ a few weeks back because, like most of the viewing audience and even its own broadcast network, I completely lost interest in the show. Given that last week’s season finale will very likely also serve as the series finale, I suppose I should close this out with one final...

‘Agent Carter’ 2.04 Recap: “No One Cares What’s in Your Head”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 04 Feb 2016 17:00:23 +0000

I was all set to start this new recap with a quip about how I no longer hate-watch ‘Agent Carter’; I loathe-watch it. Last week’s episode was truly dreadful. Fortunately (or unfortunately), the latest entry is better – not great, not even necessarily good, but decidedly an improvement over the last one. Sadly, we still...

‘Agent Carter’ 2.03 Recap: “We Have a Code Pink”

Josh Zyber — Fri, 29 Jan 2016 18:00:16 +0000

Three episodes into the new season, I’ve already resigned myself to the fact that ‘Agent Carter’ isn’t getting any better this year. The show is still drearily dull. Given its short seasons, I’ve made some peace with that. However, when an episode is also as flat-out stupid as this week’s, that sin may be unforgivable....

‘Agent Carter’ 2.01 & 2.02 Recaps: “There Are Currencies Stronger Than Money”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:00:26 +0000

Peggy Carter is one plucky gal. Despite flagging ratings during its first season (not to mention the general tedium of its execution), Marvel’s ‘Agent Carter’ somehow got renewed for another eight-episode run. The new season brings a big change in setting and scenery, but is that enough to qualify as an improvement? Between this series...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of September 13th, 2015 – Why So Furious?

Josh Zyber — Mon, 14 Sep 2015 12:00:31 +0000

Last week slowed down a bit for new Blu-ray releases, but this week revs back up to speed with a huge volume of new titles, including one of the biggest box office hits of all time. Is that disc, or much of anything this week, really worth buying, though? New Releases ‘Furious 7‘ – $1.5...

‘Agent Carter’ 1.08 Recap: “I Thought You’d Be Better”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:00:31 +0000

The network ads described this week’s episode of ‘Agent Carter’ as the “season finale,” as if there’s still some chance of a Season 2. Originally promoted as a limited run series, the show initially did well enough in the ratings to get people’s hopes up for a renewal. However, a ratings slide in subsequent episodes...

‘Agent Carter’ 1.06 & 1.07 Recaps: “Focus on What Really Matters”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 18 Feb 2015 20:00:32 +0000

It seems that I missed doing a recap for ‘Agent Carter’ last week. Sadly, after one good episode a couple weeks back, the show quickly returned to its usual tedium. Nevertheless, I am determined to see this thing through. With the finale coming up shortly, let’s get caught up. Episode 1.06, ‘A Sin to Err’...

‘Agent Carter’ 1.05 Recap: “Not Bad for a Girl”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:00:07 +0000

Finally! A good episode of ‘Agent Carter’! Like, really good. What the heck took so long? This is what every episode should have been like from the beginning. I think I understand why the powers-that-be at Marvel decided to set this series after the end of World War II. On a purely practical level, had...

‘Agent Carter’ 1.04 Recap: “I Like Predictable”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 14:00:58 +0000

Five seconds. That’s about how much of last week’s episode of ‘Agent Carter’ was of even the slightest interest. This show started in a position of weakness and has rapidly slid downhill in every successive episode. Has there been some production turmoil behind-the-scenes at Marvel? Considering how much potential the premise and cast of this...

‘Agent Carter’ 1.03 Recap: “Shut Up, English, You Talk Too Much”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 14:00:59 +0000

Hey, did you like all that fightin’ and shootin’ and car chases and explosions and spy intrigue in last week’s premiere of Marvel’s new ‘Agent Carter’ series? Well, I hope those episodes were enough to give you your fill of that sort of thing, because apparently that was the last of it. Based on the...

‘Agent Carter’ Pilot & 1.02 Recaps: “Captain America, What Would I Do Without You?”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 20:00:55 +0000

Since ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ is on break until March, Marvel has decided to fill its time slot with the new (supposedly) limited-run spin-off/prequel series ‘Agent Carter’. With a period setting and an appealing heroine in the lead, ads for the show looked like a lot of fun. So why is the premiere so damned dull?...
