Original telecast: Feb. 17, 2015 The penultimate episode of the first season of MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER was extremely good in wrapping up all the storylines going on the show in preparation for what should be a very good finale. In “SNAFU” we had the culmination of the arrest of Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), the reveal of all the things Peggy has been doing behind SSR (the […]Read On »

In Fox’s GOTHAM, Mondays at 8 PM, a good woman – and for that matter, a good doctor who isn’t running psychotic experiments – is hard to find. Luckily, Gotham City Police Department homicide detective Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) has encountered the upright Dr. Leslie “Lee” Tompkins, played by Morena Baccarin, when they were both stationed at Arkham Asylum. Now that Gordon is officially back the the GCPD, he’s a little nonplused to find his new girlfriend has just been hired as the city coroner, though Lee seems perfectly happy with this turn of events. GOTHAM isn’t Baccarin’s first foray […]Read On »

Original telecast: Feb. 10, 2015 As we reach the final run of the first season (and hopefully not the last) of MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER, “A Sin to Err” did a good job of bringing everything together for the final two episodes. The crux of the episode dealt with the revelation to SSR that Agent Carter (Hayley Atwell) isn’t who she has appeared to be to the […]Read On »

Cast: Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, Jada Pinkett Smith, Robin Lord Taylor, David Mazouz, Camren Bicondova, Erin Richards, Sean Pertwee, Morena Baccarin, John Dorman, Cory Michael Smith, David Zayas Writer: Ken Woodruff Director: Nick Copus Network: Airs on Fox, Mondays @ 9 p.m. Original Telecast: Feb. 9, 2015 All things being said, I was a bit disappointed in the second half of the GOTHAM two-parter that introduced the origin of Scarecrow in the aptly named “The Scarecrow.” Mostly, because it lacked the very person the episode it was supposed to be about. Obviously, maybe he’ll reappear in future episodes and this […]Read On »

Gimple Director: Greg Nicotero Network: AMC, airs Sunday @ 9:00 p.m. Original Telecast: Feb. 8, 2015 Warning massive show spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk. I truly enjoy THE WALKING DEAD but sometimes they outthink themselves. Take “What Happened and What’s Going On?” for instance. I get that they needed a reflection-type episode given all the high drama and loss that has been going on since […]Read On »

BETTER CALL SAUL centers on the character played by Bob Odenkirk, Walt’s dodgy lawyer Saul Goodman, back when he was still going by his real name of Jimmy McGill and still had integrity left to lose.

Original telecast: Feb. 3, 2015 “The Iron Ceiling” was a turning point for Peggy Carter on MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER for a number of reasons. First, Carter (the lovely Hayley Atwell) got to showcase her kick ass skills by killing a slew of nameless Soviet soldiers and leading the SSR and Howling Commandos into a facility to uncover why a typewriter is giving instructions in Russian to […]Read On »
