Okay, so THIS was the fall finale.
Actually, I really enjoyed this episode. While I’ve spent virtually the entire season complaining about Michael and his crew working with people who are categorically bad people, my absolute favorite scene of this episode was the fallout following the shootout at the Scylla exchange. Yes, I have [...]
I would normally complain about (a) Michael and co. working to retrieve the device for The Company, the very evil organization that they initially stole it from, and (b) Michael and co. now teaming up with the people that had earlier turned on them in order to retrieve the device from the people they originally [...]
While I’ve mostly supported Heroes this season, I have been critical of the past few episodes. But I must say, this volume finale delivered in spades. In my opinion, this episode was everything that the entire arc should have been. For the most part, the allegiances and motives were clearly defined, and [...]
While I really enjoyed this week’s installment of Prison Break, I can’t help but feel like it was one of the weaker episodes of the season (although that’s hardly an insult). This definitely felt a bit like a “stalling” episode, acting more as a catalyst of what’s to come than something that is to [...]
I usually pride myself on comprehending Heroes’ sometimes complicated storylines, and even earlier this season I wondered how anybody who paid attention could be confused. That being said, I have to admit that I was having a somewhat difficult time following everything that was going on. When Arthur appeared on the rooftop 16 [...]
I would have sworn that last week’s episode was dubbed the mid-season finale, but man, this series keeps throwing new episodes at us. Last week I remarked how I loved watching the heist play out, because no matter what obstacles were thrown at them, you just knew they had a plan to get out [...]
While I’ve enjoyed the idea behind the “heroes lose their abilities” short story arc, like I said last week, this eclipse plot device is inherently flawed. First and foremost, it’s revisionist history. No matter how many times they tell us that the eclipse in the Pilot activated everybody’s ability, we already know that [...]
Another exciting episode of Prison Break, I must admit. There were moments when I was literally sitting at the edge of my seat.
You know how writers seem to get off on making you believe that the good guy is going to succeed, only for something to happen to tumble them down? Sure, it [...]
A lot of critics have accused Heroes of essentially rewriting the past to make the present more interesting (so wait, Elle and Sylar have this rich history with each other? And when they met, Elle was a semi-moral girl with a deep conscience, and not a delusional sociopath as she is described in season [...]
After last season’s less than stellar performance, I’ve found myself very unenthusiastic about a show I once gushed over. When it was announced that the series would go nearly two years without a new episode, I was surprisingly complacent. In the past, the eight or nine month wait would feel unbearable. What [...]
