I often don’t comment on the juxtapositions that Supergirl employs each week. The dark and serious world of the DEO versus the bright and sunny CatCo often clash together. I suppose one opposite in the life of Kara Danvers seems more significant than the other when said aloud — no one ever said leading the double life of a...

Agent Peggy Carter is back and is ready to take California by the chutzpah. We step away from the drab concrete jungle that is Manhattan, rife with office misogyny, and into the glamorous and colorful land of moving pictures, rife with a far more sinister brand of sexism. Luckily, Peggy doesn’t have to bother herself with nearly as much of...
Another player has entered the ring of Showtime’s Twin Peaks. As originally reported by TV Line, Laura Dern will be joining the cast of the much-anticipated revival of the beloved 90’s series. This would not be the first time that Dern has worked with David Lynch, the series’s creator, or with Kyle MacLachlan, who plays Agent Cooper...
Today, at the Television Critics Association press tour, ABC President Paul Lee announced that the spinoff of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., titled Marvel’s Most Wanted, is going to pilot for the network. He also commented on what he’d seen so far of the pilot: “We love the script, we think it’s going to be great...
Welcome to the new year, Legion! “Blood Bonds” picks up right where “Hostile Takeover” leaves off, the showdown between Supergirl and Astra’s husband, Non. During the break, I had some time to think about the series (so far) as a whole. Overall speaking, Supergirl is not exactly a well put together show, plot wise...
This week on Supergirl, one would hardly recognize “Hostile Takeover” as a winter finale. Both A and B stories seem lopsided. Astra’s methods of “saving the Earth” from unknown destruction seem to heavily outweigh the very human “crisis” of a hacker using embarrassing emails to try getting Cat Grant to...
Luke Cage is back and he’s teaming up Jessica Jones to finally catch this son of a piece o’ whatchamacallit. Kilgrave just blew up Luke’s bar, and now Luke wants his revenge as much as Jessica does. It’s a little comical that Luke, the big guy with unbreakable skin, is taking on the role of sidekick to this itty bitty...
With everything building up to yet another showdown with Hydra, “Maveth” seemed very well-paced despite being a little repetitious. Most of that has to do with the funny little moments of comedy woven into some tense situations and how strong the cast has been, especially Ian De Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge. Some spoilers...
Kara used up all her powers fighting Red Tornado last week, and as a result, she’s stuck playing the role of a normal human being. For now. We’re only seven episodes into the season right now, but I think I can safely say that “Human for a Day” perfectly encapsulates the importance of Supergirl. And it’s not just...
Can we just take a moment and savor the fact that Jessica Jones features a pretty darn genuine friendship between two women? They can argue, disagree, and exchange really low blows at each other, but at the end of the day they still know to push all of that pettiness aside to concentrate on the important things. We get a few flashbacks to when...
