Time runs out for Eobard Thawne (Tom Cavanagh) at the start of this week’s episode of The Flash, titled “The Girl with the Red Lightning.” It was a strong opening for an episode that had a lot going on.

In an episode that feels light on action, Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) embarks on a heist at an arms manufacturer with the help of Weather Witch (Reina Hardesty), Queen Bee (Emily Kinney) and Rag Doll (Troy James.) Barry and Iris are at odds about …
Before I begin, let me be very clear. I loved “The Long Night” episode of Game of Thrones. Let me also be clear about the fact that there are spoilers in here, so if you haven’t watched the third episode of Season 8, turn back now. Some idiot spoiled something for me with a title …
The focus is on family once again in The Flash Episode 5.19, titled “Snow Pack.” All is not hunky dory with the extended Flash family and we see the effects when one, or in this case, some family members are in pain, thanks to Nora’s supposed betrayal and Caitlin’s ice monster dad, but first – let’s …
One way or another, everyone in this week’s The Flash Episode 5.17, entitled “Time Bomb,” is dealing in secrets and playing with the truth. The episode opens with Eobard Thawne telling Nora that he does not know how to deal with this new Cicada that showed up in last week’s episode, and that the only …
After a season that seemed to plod along in terms of catching the big bad Cicada (Chris Klein), this week’s The Flash 5.16 episode, entitled Failure is An Orphan, felt unevenly rushed as the big event approached. The episode starts with a conversation between Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) and Eobard Thawne (Tom Cavanagh.) We learn that they’ve …
If you haven’t watched She-Ra and the Princesses of Power on Netflix yet, you are missing out. As a fan of the original show back in the 1980s, I wasn’t sure what to expect, and what I got blew my mind. In honor of International Women’s Day, the cast of She-Ra and the Princesses of …
Kudos to the VFX team of The Flash for bringing this episode to life. The highly-anticipated showdown between Gorilla Grodd (voiced by David Sobolov) and King Shark (voiced by David Hayter) only disappointed in its brevity. Their brief battle takes place near the end of the episode – with the rest of the night dedicated …
I’m not one who goes for Valentine’s Day. So, if you are expecting a list of favorite Valentine episodes or cutest superhero couples, you can count me out. During the month of February, I’m more likely to roll my eyes or try not to gag when confronted with cloying television romance. I’ll stick to sci-fi, …
This week’s Groundhog Day-inspired episode of The Flash, titled “Cause and XS,” could have been called The Do-Over. That is precisely what Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) got — multiple times — in this timey wimey installment. Nora got to relive watching her loved ones die one-by-one on Cicada’s dagger, and poor …

This week’s episode of The Flash, titled “Memorabilia,” teaches us that memories are not reliable. In yet another frustrating turn of events, Barry’s idea to reach Cicada by awakening his niece Grace from her coma goes predictably wrong, and the consequences could be dire in this timeline and in the future. “Memorabilia” opens with Nora creating a …
The live broadcast of Jonathan Larson’s Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Rent was a highly-anticipated event for theater fans everywhere.

Marvel’s The Punisher Season 2 Episode 2 continues the slow build up from the previous episode. It also lays down the groundwork for what looks to be a couple of plot arcs. And we start to get little hints as to what kind of person is chasing down Frank and Rachel, the mysterious girl I …
The Flash Episode 5.11 was a lesson in the complex combination of fear and rage. Orlin Dwyer/Cicada (Chris Klein) has been laying low since Team Flash discovered his identity and he is mad as hell about not being able to visit Grace in the hospital since CCPD has her under observation. It seems that he has …
