I'll agree with ya' there— Kelly has definitely come into her own as a character. But I think it would be fun to mine some of the obvious friction that would exist between Mia and Ash, as well as between Mia and Kelly.

I think so too… but I was kind of hoping that there could be some connection between Ruby and the Knowby family, so that the name was more than a meaningless callback.

Soooooo… is Ruby actually related to Professor Knowby and Annie? Or was that just a cover story to justify chasing down Ash?

Okay… I loved the hell out of this show, and God DAMN, this finale did not disappoint… but is there any chance that season two could do me a solid and reveal that Mia, the heroine from the Evil Dead remake (played by the badass Jane Levy), is Ash's estranged daughter?

I kind of wonder what the deal was with that! Why would Pablo's uncle give him an amulet that would ENABLE the spread of darkness and horror throughout the world?

I like that at the very least Army of Darkness can be omitted from the show without outright contradicting it. After all, there's really nothing in that movie that has any bearing on what's happening in Ash's life now, save for what sh*tty big-box store he's supposed to be working in. (And whether or not he would have

Considering how many times Kelly screamed her name while she was trying to save her, it's amazing that it's so hard to remember it. I guess when you show up so late in the season on a show as violent as Ash vs. Evil Dead, the audience just knows there's no point in paying attention, 'cause you ain't makin' it to

Well, I'm pretty sure they wrote this season with the idea that it could be a one-off well in mind. After all, Evil Dead is a fringe property, and Bruce Campbell is a little old to be playing an action hero— hell, the show points this out on a regular basis! So I'm thinking this series was written as a perfect

While the ending did admittedly feel a little unsatisfying to me… I was expecting a huge showdown or something… it DID fit right in with the kinds of endings Sam Raimi always tried to give the Evil Dead films.

Okay… "Big" and "exciting", I'll grant you, but I have to draw the line at calling the Civil War trailer "colorful". Though that trailer rocked my socks off, I was actually very put-off by how muted all the colors were— especially on Captain-goddamn-America, a character whose whole superhero schtick is that he wears

So he's rocking primary colors, a porn 'stache, and a Dracula collar?

It's not Chris Nolan's fault— it's the fault of all the brain-dead movie executives who saw The Dark Knight make a billion dollars worldwide and thought they could make just as much money by applying that same aesthetic to ANYTHING. Because in their minds, Batman made bank when it was campy, but made even more money

So he's taking eight years to make a sequel to a movie that, visually innovative though it was, was kind of middling at best. EIGHT YEARS.

His disturbing insistence at the end of the season that his daughter marry AND sire an heir to Oliver Queen, and his warm recounting of the days when he met Nyssa's mother, fell in love, made her his "concubine", and fathered Nyssa with her… against her will.

I have to agree— the insistence that a main character can't have a friend of the opposite sex without it eventually developing romantic under- or overtones is getting kind of old.

Oh, for… They're destroying the Enterprise AGAIN?! The whole ad campaign of the previous film was built around destroying that ship! Why are these new Trek films so eager to repeat themselves so damn much?!

I have to agree— on the whole, The Flash has been a lot more episodic this season. Even the characters with ongoing subplots (Dick-Harry, Jay Garrick) have just been reacting to whatever is happening that week, bringing no forward momentum to their own stories.

Even with that voice modulator, surely Darhk noticed how much breathier Green Arrow's one line of dialogue was.

And so Mark Hamill comes back to do a second episode as the Trickster, and suddenly all is right with the world.

I am so sick of people spotting vital clues reflected in the villain's eyes in these shows. Eyeballs are not that goddamn reflective, people! And even if they were, the only thing you'd likely see reflected in them would be the camera!
