Warrior Angel first appeared in Smallville’sfirst season as one of the show’s first allusion to Superman.  From visual clues (the cover to the first comic book for both Warrior Angel and Superman are almost identical) to character clues (Warrior Angel and his nemesis, Devilicus, are very similar to the stories of Clark and Lex), it [...]

After an amazing premiere, we get into the meat of the show’s final season.  I’m sure a lot of people will see this episode as a “filler” episode, but I think the hour does a lot to set up the stage for the show’s final season.  We get to find out what happened to Sayid, [...]

Smallville’s first two-hour movie in the show’s history is a pretty solid event.  Not only do we get Smallville’s version of the Justice Society (including major appearances by Doctor Fate and Hawkman), but we get the first on-screen references to a lot of mainstream DC heroes.  Not since the original Justice League episode has an episode of [...]

LOST 6×1/6×2 – “LA X”

February 4th, 2010

In the past few weeks, in speaking to people about my anticipation of this season’s premiere, I found out that LOST had a lot of fans that jumped off the  bandwagon at some point.  Maybe it was during the show’s second season, which failed to capture some of the magic until the injection of the [...]

Smallville returns with a bit of an appetizer before the show presents us with the first 2-hour movie next week.  It’s another heavy Oliver-centric episode, where we learn how Oliver gained the skills to become the Green Arrow.  There’s some Clark stuff in there as well, but “Disciple” is another episode of the Green Arrow [...]

Avatar review

December 20th, 2009

Okay, so let’s get past the obvious things everyone else seems to be saying in their reviews: this is James Cameron’s first movie since ‘Titanic,’ once again he spent a lot of money, and all of it went to creating revolutionary new special effects. Despite all that, you could see ‘Avatar’ for complete different reasons. [...]

Smallville 9×9 – “Pandora”

November 26th, 2009

It’s nightmare time on Smallville, as Lois wakes up in a dark future where everything looks pretty bad for all of our favorite characters.  Clark is powerless and alone, Chloe is ruthless, Oliver is broken, and the Earth is under the control of hundreds of super-powered Kandorians.  And since this finally explains one of the [...]

“It’s Only The Beginning” is an odd title because this episode is actually the end of the 2009 run of the V reboot.  And, in it, we get to see the human resistance’s first strike against the Visitors.  But, by the end of the episode, things really don’t look quite as bright.  It’s a solid [...]

Smallville 9×8 – “Idol”

November 18th, 2009

Another Smallville, another DC crossover.  This time, it’s the Wonder Twins that show up to meet Clark.  But just like what happened with Speedy a couple of episodes, it’s the Lois and Clark show that takes over.  And, in the end, that might just be what this show has become.

V 1×3 – “A Brand New Day”

November 17th, 2009

The Visitors, now freely able to move around American cities, continue their “friendly” invasion of the Earth.  Meanwhile, the resistance against the Visitors actually makes some progress as main characters meet each other.  Throw in an appearance by the Fifth Column, and you have an episode of V that actually moves the story along quite [...]
