REVIEW: The Flash – Season 6, Episode 7 “The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Part 1”

AlexGherzo | Nov 27, 2019 | 0

The Flash jumped the gun with the Ramsey Rosso storyline over the past few episodes, but “The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Part 1” performs some much-needed repairs on season 6’s main arc. It merges the themes of both Ramsey and the Crisis, and it makes Barry even more human in the face of ...

REVIEW: Watchmen – Season 1, Episode 6 “This Extraordinary Being”

AlexGherzo | Nov 26, 2019 | 0

“This Extraordinary Being” is a tough nut to crack. It has what could have been a fascinating story if it existed in a vacuum. Unfortunately, it’s a Watchmen story, and it retcons parts of the Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons comic book that Damon Lindelof claims he so reveres to fit its narrative. Sti...

AlexGherzo | Nov 20, 2019 | 0

The Flash doing a James Bond homage should be right up my alley, but “License to Elongate” left me cold. Not nearly as funny or clever as it thinks it is, this week’s episode is a snooze that does almost nothing to further the plot or develop the characters. It doesn’t even get the reference...

REVIEW: Watchmen – Season 1, Episode 5 “Little Fear of Lightning”

AlexGherzo | Nov 19, 2019 | 0

“Little Fear of Lightning” suggests that Watchmen’s best episodes will be the ones that aren’t focused on Angela Abar. This week puts Looking Glass under the… let’s got with “microscope,” and manages to be a marked improvement over the previous installment, and even a little better t...
