Review: The Orville
My standard policy on TV shows is to give them three episodes… unless they do something to really drop the ball, and / or piss me off. The Orville has had more than that. So, what do I think? This is … … Continue reading
TV Midseason Review: Arrow
Arrow is, by and large, the best of DC CW TV. iZombie doesn’t count, that’s from Vertigo. When our season opens, Oliver Queen must put together a team of heroes, since he lost his last one to retirement. They include Mad … Continue reading
TV Midseason Review: Quick Hits
I will, of course, make certain to do full reviews about some shows, rather than others. But right now, there are some shows I don’t have a lot to say about. Not to mention that there are some shows where … Continue reading
Fally 2016 Review: Lethal Weapon
Whose bright idea was it to bring back Lethal Weapon? As a TV show. I’ve tried the original films lately, but I couldn’t make it. In retrospect, they are amazingly shallow. Yes, granted, it created a lot of the tropes … Continue reading
Fall 2016 TV Review: Bull
This is going to be a quick review, because I’m not entirely certain what to make of this yet. Dr. Jason Bull (played by NCIS‘ Michael Weatherly) is a jury consultant. Supposedly, he’s based off of the life of Doctor … Continue reading
Fall 2016 Review: MacGyver
After years of trying to bring back an official MacGyver reboot, CBS has finally brought back the man whose very name as become a verb. And what’s the verdict? ….Eh. Yes. That’s it. Eh. Just that. Yes, granted, you could do worse … Continue reading
Review: Exorcist, the series
If you haven’t read The Exorcist, of if you haven’t read the story about the original book, it was originally based off of an actual case of possession in Georgetown. Two of the original priests from the incident showed up in … Continue reading
A Review of ABC’s Notorious
Back when first looked at the new shows of the Fall Season, one show was called Notorious. I immediately figured it would not be as interesting as the Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name. I mean, after all, one of … Continue reading
Review: Designated Survivor
A little while ago, there was an article on The Catholic Geeks discussing new fall television. One show was called Designated Survivor, which was an obvious knock off of the Tom Clancy plot point where someone blows up the State of the … Continue reading

Firefly Guests @DragonCon 2016
On the one hand, Firefly is possibly one of the most overrated shows that ever got a cult following off of so little. Never was so much worshipped by so many for so very little. Even in DVD format, with the … Continue reading

Fall Television Resurrects Everything
I had recently joked on my own blog that this fall is the return of everything. I didn’t know that all of these jokes would come true. The following are just the TV shows that are based on something else: … Continue reading

I apparently have timing. I finally review Daredevil Season 2, and then the new Luke Cage Trailer comes out. Pardon me, but I have to say this…. Ahem…. I AM POWER MAN! [Cue Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man”]

24’s Legacy
I am so conflicted about this one.
APB: Something New
Imagine if Tony Stark took over a police precinct. Once that terrifying thought is done processing, now imagine that his toys and tactics are on the way to taking over the police department of the entire city. Do you want to … Continue reading
