MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Episode 2.02: Heavy is the Head (TV review)

Usually we’re eased into a new Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode with a few scenes of status quo before the quo is overturned by the plot. Or an episode begins with a mini-adventure, similar to an Indy film. This time, neither of those occurs. Instead, the second episode of the second season begins right where last […]

ONCE UPON A TIME – “A Tale of Two Sisters” Season 4, Episode 1 (TV Review)

Previously on Once Upon a Time, Captain Hook and Emma Swan returned from the past to ensure that Prince Charming and Snow White would meet, and in doing so upset the space time continuum as Emma rescued Maid Miriam. As the new season began, not only was everyone dealing with the ramifications of having Regina […]

MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Ep 2.01: Shadows (season premiere review)

Joss Whedon’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. debuted last year with “must see live” hyperbole sprinkled all over it. After some lackluster episodes, the hype devolved into “must see days later via D.V.R.”, followed by “If you have nothing else to do, you may as well watch S.H.I.E.L.D.” Several juvenile episodes later and Marvel Entertainment’s first […]

We Recap & Review FOX’s GOTHAM Pilot Episode

Warning this post will include spoilers and tidbits about the Caped Crusader and the events and people that lead to his evolution into becoming the Dark Knight or more commonly known as Batman. After months of hype, speculation, and outright anticipation for the release of the Gotham pilot episode, in many respects for me as […]

BACK TO THE FUTURE Appears in Yet Another Commercial (and it’s pretty cool!)

As we approach 2015, there doesn’t seem to be any waning in the interest and callbacks to the Back to the Future franchise. Every six months or so, a reference shows up in commercials on TV, online, or in the movies – from hocking Nike shoes, using fake Hoverboards in joke videos, to a cameo in […]

Kirk, Spock and Bones: Teaching My Son The Essential (STAR TREK) Stuff That Matters

My one-year-old son will be asking me many difficult questions all too soon. Ones like: “Where do babies come from?” “Is Santa Claus real?” and most certainly: “Why is my middle name Tiberius?” As a Star Trek fan, I look forward to answering only one of these questions. I think that Star Trek has a […]

MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 (Summer Hiatus Review)

It’s been two weeks since Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. aired its season 1 finale. Two weeks since Coulson and the gang last grappled with the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., Ward’s betrayal, and various super-powered shenanigans in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fortunately the series was renewed for a second season. Unfortunately that season doesn’t begin for three full months. […]
