REVIEW: The Bad Batch – Season 3, Episodes 14 and 15, “Flash Strike” and “The Calvary Has Arrived”
It has been an incredible season of The Bad Batch this year, making it equally exciting and sad to see the show go. This is my favorite season of The Bad Batch, a show that has gradually gotten better and more laser-focused on its overarching story. To think we went from a relatively filler-y seas...
Read MoreREVIEW: The Flash (2023)
I’m not sure I’d call The Flash a mixed bag; that implies a fairly equal good-to-bad ratio, and The Flash is more bad than good by a wide margin. And what’s bad is abysmal, not only embracing many of the grating modern superhero movie tropes but hooking them up to rockets and shooting them int...

Much of The Flash’s final season has been disappointing at best, but last week’s stellar episode made wading through that swamp worth it. It was so good I wondered if it should have been the finale, closing out the series on a high note instead of rolling the dice with four more episodes. But if...
