I've long had issues with the whole Omniscience, Perfect villain trope. For one, it's just so lazy. Anything you want to happen CAN happen 'cause this guy knows/can do ANYTHING! Almost any twist you want to add in will be fine, because this guy can do anything from anywhere! He just hacked into Airforce One and sent…

I kinda love how purely, inately evil Savitar Barry is.
Regular Barry loses his memory, becomes kinda goofy and fun and loves everything about his situation.
Savitar Barry, who knows only that he's in a sweet, sweeeeet robot suit and maybe has some powers, immediately tries to choke a woman to death for being in the…

That's too bad. Or maybe not—it was probably time. Like a lot of people, I was shockingly surprised by how much I enjoyed this show in it's first couple of seasons. It was like an Americana/witchcraft/time travel-themed X-Files…but it could also never last, especially after its initial premise played out. What was…

Make him smooth as all get out, any story in any reality revolving around "Jimmy Olsen decides he should be a hero, too!" is a bad idea. "And he puts on a tough guy suit and tries to beat up bad guys!" was probably the exact plot of at least half a dozen of the worst Superman comics from the 50s.

Flash Writers: This season, we have something special…
Fans: Please don't say an evil speedster who's faster tha—
Writers: An evil speedster who's even faster than the Flash!! AND he's from…the future!
Fans: B-but, that's the exact story from the 1st season.
Writers: And the only way for the Flash to beat him is to get…

This episode gave me some bad The Cell flashbacks. For a very sensitive little kid who hated horror and gore and cruelty and weird stuff, I don't know how I managed to sit with my tween friends and watch The Cell back in the day…with its weirdness and the intestines spun up on a spiked wrack and the fucker standing up…

Way back in the day, I bought a used copy Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete. The GameStop guy said something along the lines of, "Ah, someone is finally buying the Brick!"
That game came with a soundtrack CD, a bonus features CD, a map, a bunch of little stand-up cardboard thingies, and of course an impressive hefty,…

It looks like good ol' Arrow is planning what I think of as the "Ultrasound"—that scene where the couple is having a heated and legit argument in the doctors office, but then the baby appears on the ultrasound, the doc says something about hearing the heartbeat…and poof! Argument resolved forever, because DRAMA.
This…

That sounds right, actually.

Wow, I was just struck by the lightning bolt of nostalgia remembering that this exact scenario played out in an episode of the Teen Titans cartoon…Robin (for whatever reason) traveled to the future, only to discover his team was dissolved and broken. Beast Boy, the team goofster, was disheveled and desperate to…

CW Superhero shows aren't filmed week-by-week, but they are still writing and filming new episodes as the current season is airing (and being reviewed).
That said, especially after this long break, I'm optimistic that maybe the folks behind the scenes heard and are now responding to the fan outcry…
We HATE Mon-El! LESS…

It's just an objective fact that LotR books are boring. Sure, the overall plot is great, but the facts and minutiae and endless history lessons…the songs and poems and recitations of lineage…it's really pretty insufferable, even if you're someone who appreciates world building. Remember that sweet scene in the movie…

Real monologue by a weirdo blathering at me at the bus stop (even though I'm wearing headphones): "Y'know who I can't stand? That Wayne Brady! That Wayne Brady is the BIGGEST racist on television! You ever, you ever notice that That Wayne Brady ONLY picks black folks to win the CARS on that show? The only people who…

The gay panic thing was extra bad in Persona 4. I was really disappointed by that game. Kanji was introduced as a delinquent with a soft side—a love of sewing and making dolls and a fondness for children. Aw, that's nice! Then, like all playable characters, you do a long level themed around the recruit's greatest…

That's interesting. Come to think of it, it did have the colorful, shiny, rubbery quality that one associates with very early Pixar. Not that that means it should have been banned forever, gah.

A person who has never played Street Fighter vs. Same? Pick Chun-Li, mash the 'kick' button, and don't stop until you win. Congrats. You just discovered the secret formula lil' Billy unlocked at the laundromat in 1993.

I'll offer a pair of crappy-but-maybe-kinda-good?? SNES games my friends and I were into in the mid 90s. Uniracers was a game where you played as personless unicycles racing on wacky tracks. We mostly liked it because doing crazy, air-borne stunts with the unicycles was a big part of the gameplay. We were also very…

Order any kinda crazy combo you want—the only kind of coffee snob I can't is the "black only" crowd. Yeah, black coffee is okay, I even enjoy it now and then…but we all know that person who is kinda arrogant about it. "What do you want in it?" "Oooh, nothing…it's fine how it is! I like it pure!"
I never believe anyone…

I don't quite get the site's obsession and even slavish devotion to this movie that hasn't come out and they haven't seen. "NEWS! An actor we already knew was in this movie is…in this movie! In THIS way! We thought you all needed to know!"
C'mon, Spider Man (sorry, Spider-Man) is the most infamously botched franchises…

I caught their last North American tour what I guess really was 7 years ago (yeesh!). It was while they touring Plastic Beach, which is still one of favorite all time albums. There weren't holograms, but there were plenty of animated shorts shot up on the big screen and an endless parade of illustrious performers who…
