Now Streaming: Altered Carbon Season 1

Josh Zyber — Wed, 07 Feb 2018 13:00:42 +0000

Lavish in its visual effects and elaborate soundstage sets, the cyberpunk sci-fi drama ‘Altered Carbon’ has been proudly hyped as Netflix’s most expensive and ambitious production to date. What the story about? You’ve seen ‘Blade Runner’, right? How about ‘Ghost in the Shell’? Those will give you an idea of what to expect. Based on...

‘Supergirl’ 2.09 Recap: “This Planet Sucks”

Shannon Nutt — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 17:00:10 +0000

She’s back! After a two-month break, the Girl of Steel finally returns to the small screen in an episode of ‘Supergirl’ directed by Kevin Smith (he of ‘Clerks’ fame, but recently of more dubious ‘Yoga Hosers’ fame). Fans worried that the foul-mouthed, 420-friendly Smith might screw things up need not be concerned. This is a...

‘Supergirl’ 2.04 Recap: “I Hope Too Many People Didn’t Bet on Me”

Shannon Nutt — Tue, 01 Nov 2016 19:00:05 +0000

The first rule of this week’s episode of ‘Supergirl’ is you don’t talk about this week’s episode of ‘Supergirl’. Just when you thought things might settle down for the Girl of Steel, she finds herself smack dab in the middle of National City’s alien fight club. The action begins with a scene I don’t quite...

‘The Last Ship’ 3.01 & 3.02 Recap: “Let’s Poke the Elephant”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 13:00:42 +0000

The two-part Season 3 premiere of ‘The Last Ship’ was all set to air on Sunday, June 12th, but was pulled at the last minute and postponed a week due to real-world events that happened on that day. Watching the episode, it’s pretty clear why the network panicked. Nevertheless, it ran the following weekend in...

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 2.16 Recap: “We All Have Our Bad Days”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 09 Apr 2015 19:00:42 +0000

After last week’s pretty momentous episode, I suppose it was inevitable that ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ would need to slow down a step. You can’t have a game-changer every week, right? Shangri-La La La After having been teleported away from the scary S.H.I.E.L.D. agents by Gordon, the no-eyes guy, Skye wakes up half-naked on a table...

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 2.11 Recap: “I’ll Show You the Way”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:00:51 +0000

Now that the dud ‘Agent Carter’ spin-off has finally drawn to its interminable close, Marvel’s ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ made a welcome return this week from its two-month winter break. Considering how bumpy the first season was, I’m as surprised as anyone to feel so relieved that the show is back and in good form. Episode...

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 2.08 Recap: “Discovery Requires Experimentation”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 20 Nov 2014 14:00:54 +0000

Franchise synergy is the game at play in ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ this week, as the show hammers in a pretty shameless tie-in for its upcoming ‘Agent Carter’ spin-off. Fortunately, the episode is a pretty good one anyway. ‘The Things We Bury’ jumps around among three different timelines. Here’s how it breaks out chronologically: A Long...

‘Last Resort’ 1.02 Recap: “The Strong and Unwavering Fist of Our Nation”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 16:00:12 +0000

It appears that ABC’s much-hyped military/political thriller ‘Last Resort’ is a ratings dud and likely to be canceled. I suppose this means that I shouldn’t get too attached to it. Given that the second episode is a pretty noticeable drop-off in quality from the first (which was already kind of dicey), that probably won’t be...
