Star Wars: Rebels’ season finale featured the exploration of Malachor, the return of Darth Maul, and a battle against three inquisitors, but for much of the fandom, the highlight was always going to be Ahsoka Tano. Formerly the young Padawan of Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars, Ahsoka made her return to the Star Wars universe early on in Rebels’ second season, and…
House of Cards‘ generally excellent fourth season was nevertheless a bit unfocused and oddly paced, as if Beau Willimon was throwing all his remaining ideas at us before departing as showrunner. His first concept was a Frank vs. Claire civil war, which plays out the first four episodes, only to be interrupted by a shocking presidential assassination.…
What the hell happened here? I went into Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice knowing not to expect the finest comic book story ever told, but I was not prepared for this, one of the most incoherent and baffling major Hollywood productions in recent memory. It simultaneously moves along at a frantic pace, not allowing anything to resonate, and yet…
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice opens in theaters tonight, and I sincerely hope it’s good. Based on early reviews and word of mouth, that seems unlikely, but I will nonetheless be walking into the theater ready for a pleasant surprise. After rewatching Man of Steel, though, I have one major concern. With all the talk about Dawn of…
On March 22nd at 6:00 PM, the embargo on Batman v Superman reviews was set to lift, and DC fanatics were about to find out what critics had to say about their most anticipated film of the year. They had a brutal night; imagine “The Rains of Castamare” beginning to play as Batman and Superman devotees on Reddit frantically…
If you aren’t watching The CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, that’s probably because it’s on The CW and it’s called Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. But those who dismiss this series based on the title are seriously missing out on one of the most joyous, surprisingly complex comedies on air right now: a laugh out loud feminist musical spectacular unlike anything you’ve ever…
*This article contains light spoilers and speculation for Game of Thrones season 6, based on set photos, interviews and trailers.* Game of Thrones returns next month following a season finale bombshell: Jon Snow, commander of the Night’s Watch and one of the story’s primary heroes, was assassinated. But although those associated with the HBO series insist we…
I virtually never binge TV, preferring to take my time and view a maximum of two or three episodes per sitting. But this past Saturday, before I even realized what was happening, I had sat threw 10 damn hours of Daredevil Season 2 with little to no breaks. This show just took control of me. In spite of all of…
Next week, one of the most significant events in comicbook movie history will be taking place: for the first time ever, an on-screen brawl between Batman and Superman. Yet every few hours, I completely forget that the film is even coming out, and apparently I’m not alone. There seems to be very little buzz for Dawn of…
Marvel’s Daredevil is essentially an excellent 13-hour crime drama that happens to be set in a world of superheroes and mind control. It’s similar to The Dark Knight in that way; remove the Marvel logo and the references to The Avengers and it could function on its own as a compelling series about a crime boss expanding…
