Supergirl 4.09 Recap: “This Is Kind of Becoming an Annual Thing, Huh?”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 13:00:50 +0000

This year’s DC crossover extravaganza, Elseworlds, concludes on Supergirl and, as you’d expect, our heroes largely set thing straight in the multiverse. (Whoops, is that a spoiler? Nah, you figured that part out already, didn’t you?) Having rewritten reality again, John Deegan (Jeremy Davies) narrates over the episode’s opening credits. In this new world of...

Arrow 7.09 Recap: “Would Hitching a Ride in the Batmobile Be Out of the Question?”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 13:00:44 +0000

The Elseworlds event continues on Arrow. In a lot of ways, the second part of the crossover serves as a backdoor pilot for next year’s upcoming new DC Arrowverse spinoff. No matter, it works well enough and even makes me want to watch that show. Barry Allen and Oliver Queen are still stuck in each...

The Flash 5.09 Recap: “What a Total Freaky Friday!”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 13:00:55 +0000

The Flash switches nights with Supergirl this week to kick off the season’s big DC crossover event, called Elseworlds. Last year’s Crisis on Earth-X was a lot of fun and set a high bar for this one to clear. Fortunately, the start seems promising. In comparison to the last crossover, Elseworlds is slightly scaled back,...

‘American Gods’ 1.08 Recap: “You Wouldn’t Believe in Me If I Told You”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 21 Jun 2017 12:00:11 +0000

One of the strangest TV shows currently on the air (perhaps not the strangest, but one of them at least), ‘American Gods’ ended its short first season on Starz this week. Befitting such an unconventional series, the last episode hardly feels like a stopping point at all, much less a finale. It’s a good thing...

‘Twin Peaks’ 3.06 Recap: “You’re an Interesting Fellow”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 12:00:45 +0000

A little bit of the Dougie storyline goes a long way in the new ‘Twin Peaks’. This week brings us a lot of Dougie. A lot. For the purposes of these recaps, I still prefer to differentiate between Dougie, who’s dead, and Mr. Jackpots, the mentally-impaired doppelganger that replaced him. All of the domestic satire...

‘Constantine’ 1.11 Recap: “Suffering Is Unavoidable”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 20:00:23 +0000

With Harold Perrineau, Jeremy Davies and William Mapother, Friday’s episode of ‘Constantine’ was a right little ‘Lost’ reunion. I wonder if that was intentional? Perrineau in particular feels shoehorned into this episode with little to do except stand around and observe what the other characters are doing. Yes, I realize that’s usually the purpose of...

‘Constantine’ Pilot Recap: “I’m a Nasty Piece of Work, Ask Anybody”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 28 Oct 2014 13:00:15 +0000

‘Constantine’ is the third new TV series of the season (on as many networks) based on a DC Comics property. The character had previously been featured in a 2004 movie of the same title starring Keanu Reeves, which was not well received by fans of the original ‘Hellblazer’ comic. The new show sidesteps that and...

One from the Vault: ‘CQ’

Wayne Rowe — Mon, 07 May 2012 19:00:38 +0000

I probably ought to start off by saying that ‘CQ’ is a DAZZLING! FANTASTIC! sci-fi, movie-within-a-movie type of flick. But mostly I want to say that almost the whole Coppola family is involved in this one. Is that a good thing? This is the first, and only, feature-length film to date made by Francis Ford...

‘Justified’ 3.01 Recap: “Not Much Call for Cowboys These Days”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:00:39 +0000

‘Justified’ returned to kick off its third season last week. Even though the show has never been a significant ratings hit, the FX network has had enough faith to keep it on the air this long. That’s a good thing for fans, because the last season left a number of unresolved storylines hanging. The season...

‘Justified’ 2.11 Recap: “What Are You Doing? You Don’t Piss on Someone’s Lawn.”

Luke Hickman — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 19:00:56 +0000

One of the best things about ‘Justified’ is the show’s ability to concurrently tell several different stories that, although they may not appear to, end up coming to the same head. Each side story episode gives the audience a break, making it feel more like a series and less like a mini-series. It’s the equivalent...

‘Justified’ 2.01 Recap: Sweet as Apple Pie

Josh Zyber — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 18:00:50 +0000

Despite being a big fan of the show, I neglected to give ‘Justified’ much coverage in this blog during its first season. Since the second season premiered last week, let’s rectify that oversight right now. This is a great series that barely made it to renewal, and deserves a lot more attention than it has...
