I'll admit that I probably haven't given it a fair shot, having only seen a handful (and a small handful at that) of episodes… I just really don't understand the need for a silly version of Batman in today's world.

I am consistently impressed with this series. I don't know why this surprises me, what with it being Weisman (whose Spectacular Spider-Man remains one of finest versions of the character ever). The writing really is getting darker and I too can't help but feel it's building to an actual on-screen death at some point…

By the time Season 3 rolled around it was always nice to get a Weevil episode because, yeah, the dude is awesome. This is one of the better rehashes of the Veronica/Weevil rivalry, but it's something I just don't get the need to rehash at this point in the series. Weevil starts the show as a fairly rough guy, but by…
I don't know why exactly but I have always loved "Players". Gunn isn't one of the show's better developed characters, but when he gets an episode centred around him (and those episodes aren't always the greatest), it becomes very clear just what a compelling lead he can make. Taking a break from the doom and gloom of…
It definitely wasn't the greatest episode and I think a lot of that came down to a particularly horrible script. This episode had some of the show's worst dialogue in a very long time (this has been a problem with this season's non-Ben Edlund scripts) and it was pretty hard to be engaged with a lot of it. Every beat…
I think people are starting to rose-colour the last few Michael years. Is this episode grounded compared to the first couple seasons? No. But comparing it to how over the top and wacky the last few seasons had a tendency to get… yeah it's pretty damned grounded (ignoring the Cold Open, which again was just completely…
It wasn't overly flashy, it's fairly hard to deviate in this formula but I thought there were some nice shots sprinkled throughout.
And as a random bit, tonight's episode was directed by John Krasinksi. I think his touch may have definitely helped with the more grounded nature of the episode. I can imagine them playing this episode a hell of a lot "bigger" than they did and that was what made it effective.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by tonight's episode. The cold open was absolutely terrible, but the rest had some really grounded character beats and Andy's first legitimately good episode as boss. At no point did he feel like "another Michael", in fact, it actually looks like the writers may in fact be going in…
Except it wasn't Dean-humour, it was Lucifer humour, but still, good times.
I actually would be curious if they did this an anthology project, there's not enough of those around anymore… But I really can't see either Nolan or even Bay signing on to something like this
Is anyone else getting a little tired of the post-credits teaser tag? They used to be used sparingly, to milk just a little more excitement out of the trailer…but now they're used in practically every trailer and are basically just there. "I'm right here if you need me"… Ok, great? Is that the scene? What's the deal?
I found this to be an incredibly lazy hour of television. The show hasn't lost me yet, but to completely abandon the storyline they'd been building last season within forty minutes just so Mischa Collins can play manic doesn't really interest me all that much. The story wasn't interesting because the boys were up…
It's a fairly loathed season, and it gets kind of easier when Evil Cordelia is around. To be perfectly honest, the Jasmine-arc might have actually saved the season. If they had gone with the original plan and had Cordy be behind everything, we would have been forced to suffer through another long stretch of episodes…
The Walking Dead is a strange anomaly in that now nine months after airing, it seems to have this seemingly flawless representation when a very large and formerly vocal community of people had a lot of very legitimate complaints about the series. How it's been continuously put into the same conversations as Mad Men…
Yeah… Not to jump on the "That Guy" train, but none of those people created It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia… Still, could be good, Hornsby is one of the show's funnier non-creator writers, and that's one hell of a great voice cast and Fred Armisen.
Hmm and the chances of one our both of them having a wife wayyyy too attractive for them is?
I agree with Gordon, this season is definitely the least active of any of them, though, come to think of it, it does somewhat line up with Season 1 which also has a lot of waiting. The difference between the two is that Season 1 uses the waiting to explore the characters (then new to us), and while it might not be the…
