And, intending no offense toward Megalyn Echikunwoke, at this point I’m much happier with Maisie Richardson-Sellers as Amaya than I would be with her as Mari.

Stephen Louis Grush’s appearance as Jesse Pomeroy was the first time since this series began where the actor didn’t feel acutely aware that he was in a period piece.

I’m just glad Hailey and the ex-wife made it out (relatively) unscathed.

The other weird thing about the scene where Jefferson confronts his daughter’s boyfriend is that I just can’t believe that a high school principal anywhere would have a conversation with a student on school grounds centered heavily around the student’s genitals. Jefferson wasn’t being sexual about it, but there isn’t…

Supergirl was namedropped as a cosplay option. I think it was ambiguous whether she’s a real person or fictional character in the world of “Black Lightning”. This COULD be set on Earth-38, although you’d think there’d be a shitload more aliens if that were the case.

Barry screwing up and revealing himself as the Flash was pretty much a certainty at some point, because acting impulsively and failing to weigh consequences are Barry Allen trademarks.

But I wish there was SOME consistency when it comes to speed. In some episodes, he’s racing to get from one side of the city to the…

This episode felt like a consecentrated collection of all of the things that irriated me about the second season: characters making stupid assumptions to move the plot along, trite assessments about what ails America, nonsensical digs (you’re criticizing the bouncer whose job is to prevent you from entering the event…

I must have low expectations, because I found the whole Ascent of the Zephyr sequence absolutely thrilling. Between the solid stuntwork between Daisy and Sinara punctuated by bouts of zero-gravity aerobatics, and the pretty damn solid visual effects of the stormy hellscape outside of the Zephyr, I was pretty blown…

“There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and…

Worth noting that Capaldi came into “Doctor Who” already a beloved figure of British television, already known across the UK for his years playing Malcolm Tucker on “The Thick of It”.

“Broadchurch” was well-regarded and Attack the Block certainly has a cult following, but Whittaker doesn’t have nearly as iconic of a…

Wasn’t the script in her journal the same script Barry was scrawling all over the walls when he first got out of the Speed Force?

Barry in prison is actually a Barry I like. He’s having to exercise patience and a bit of foresight.

I don’t know, “two of us literally just betrayed you but we’re taking our ball and going home because you don’t trust us” seems like a failure of logic.

...And then cancel the spinoff. Team Arrow newbies are terrible. Constantly demanding trust, and constantly failing to earn it.

Not in the real Bad Place, he doesn’t. There’s fucks a-plenty.

Nothing makes a cocktail party truly hellish like Dax Shepard, though.

I’m sorry. ☹ I wish the AV Club still had an appropriate place to discuss the show.

Since “The Magicians” isn’t getting its own reviews any more:
I can’t be the only one who loved Eliot’s version of Voyage of the Dawn Treader with his log-clutching wife and two-month-old daughter who is now a teenager with a major case of Faerie Stockholm Syndrome.

Let’s go to the mall, everybody!

Come on Jessica, come on Tori,
Let’s go to the mall, you won’t be sorry
Put on your jelly bracelets
And your cool graffiti coat
At the mall, having fun is what it’s all about

I haven’t done my homework yet (That’s OK!)
And you know how my parents get (Whatever!)
I don’t care,’cause…

This show, which inspires lively and interesting discussion, gets dropped from episodic coverage. But presumably “Modern Family” will get episodic reviews forever.
