The Flash Season 1 Episode 14 – ‘Fallout’
Jessie Robertson reviews the fourteenth episode of The Flash… Literal fallout as the episode began. But, the experiment worked. This episode was all about the two elements fused together to make Firestorm, Ronnie Raymond and Martin Stein. Firestorm is a very difficult character to bring to screen, because it’s two distinct characters, and how do […]
Star Wars Rebels Review – ‘Rebel Resolve’
Chris Cooper reviews the twelfth episode of Star Wars Rebels, ‘Rebel Resolve’… I finally know how many episodes we have left. One. With everything we have going on in Rebels it’s going to have to be a very busy one to tie it all up. I’m dreading a cliffhanger. Don’t do it Disney! My biggest takeaway […]
Agent Carter Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Snafu’
Amy Richau reviews the seventh episode of Agent Carter… This week’s episode of Agent Carter, “Snafu”, was a bit of a bust for me until the last 10 minutes. While there were a lot of things going on in the episode, I felt that the show was going through the motions more than truly entertaining […]

Comic Book Review – Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #4
Zeb Larson reviews Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #4… With the Great Champion away, the city is vulnerable to Goodfoot’s machinations. Autumnlands has really jelled as a series, especially now that Dunstan had a regular role in each issue. It’s interesting because not a whole lot really happens in this issue in terms of action. We’re […]
