The Review at the End of the Universe
“Go Getters” The latest episode of The Walking Dead was a massive filler episode and the weakest of the season so far. In “Go Getters”, too much time was spent on secondary characters with scenes that dragged on for too long and scenes crowbarred in to the episode that didn’t really benefit the story at…
“Up from the Depths Part 1” Thunderbirds Are Go brings back the Mechanic who goes after a crashed prototype Thunderbird piloted by none other than Jeff Tracy himself. It’s funny how I was saying just last week that I’d like to see the show start to explore the past and give more insight into the…
“Iron Squadron” Star Wars Rebels introduces another ragtag group fighting the Empire in the form of Iron Squadron, a crew of young people trying to protect their home. This is a difficult episode to review as it does so many things right but continually trips itself up in really fundamental ways. One episode manages to…
“Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox” Supernatural explores the inevitable end of a Hunter’s journey as a group of them gather to mourn the loss of one of their own. This episode may not take any significant steps to further whatever the season arc is going to be but it does prove that Supernatural is…
“Outlaw Country” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow goes back to the Old West to help Jonah Hex deal with a problem that could damage the timeline. I’ll preface this by saying that I’m not a fan of Westerns and never have been so there’s only a certain amount of enjoyment I can get from an episode…
“Vigilante” Arrow introduces a new rival for Oliver’s self imposed title as the saviour of Star City as Quentin starts to deal with his issues. I know I’ve said it before but I’m really loving the back to basics approach that this season has. Having Ragman around has shown us that the show is capable…
“The Watergate Tape” After a week long hiatus Timeless returns with ‘The Watergate Tape’ which was a huge scandal in American political history. With such a huge event happening in 1972 you would think this would be the focus of the episode but in fact it is more used as a plot device to help…
“Shade” The Flash deals with Wally’s lack of powers while dealing with Caitlin’s abundance of powers as the consequences of “Flashpoint” continue to present themselves. Wally not having powers has been an ongoing thread this season. It has been established that he is jealous that Jesse was granted powers from the same Dark Matter wave…
“Trip to Stabby Town” Lucifer dials down the emotional intensity as the consequences of the death of Uriel still linger on for all concerned. When I say that the emotional intensity is dialled down I don’t mean that this episode is a laugh a minute but it is a significantly lighter affair than we’re used…
“Changing” Supergirl introduces long running Superman villain, Parasite as Alex struggles with her feelings for Maggie, Mon’El has trouble deciding what to do with his life and James starts his vigilante career. This was a really busy episode that had to keep a lot of plates spinning in order to maintain its momentum. It definitely…
