REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 15 “Enemy at the Gates”

AlexGherzo | Jun 30, 2021 | 0

Well, the good news is that “Enemy at the Gates” is a marked improvement over The Flash’s recent output. The bad news is that the last few episodes have been so bad that there was almost nowhere to go but up. (I say “almost” because I’m learning not to underestimate modern television.) �...

REVIEW: Loki – Season 1, Episode 4 “The Nexus Event”

AlexGherzo | Jun 30, 2021 | 0

“The Nexus Event” is one of the most glaring examples of manufactured storytelling I can recall. Plot and character developments are so forced as to be misnomers, with each new point inserted at the whim of the “creatives” because they want the show to be something they know it can’t offic...

“A Brief Reminiscence In-Between Cataclysmic Events” is a mostly splendid episode that features some of the best Superman & Lois moments yet and points to an exciting final run of episodes to close out the first season. It also has a few elements that hint at a possible infection of the woke...

“Rayo de Luz” is not the episode we needed after spending last week being told – but not shown – how great Chester is. Instead of returning the focus to Barry, where it belongs, The Flash completely sidelines him for the episode in favor of Allegra, Chester, and Sue, who take a meaningless s...

REVIEW: Loki – Season 1, Episode 3 “Lamentis”

AlexGherzo | Jun 23, 2021 | 0

With “Lamentis,” Loki takes on another of the characteristics of its eponymous trickster and shapeshifts, becoming a buddy cop action-comedy without breaking stride. The story and mythology behind the Time Variance Authority take a backseat (though an important piece of the puzzle does lock into...
