    Marvel's The Inhumans

    Marvel’s Inhumans Apparently Won’t Stick Around In IMAX For As Long As We Thought So, IMAX completely financed the two episodes they're going to play because they needed to fill a two-week gap, and now they're saying, "Um, you know what, we actually found something else to play the second...

    Marvel's The Inhumans

    It had to be fast and cheap. Late last year, IMAX went to Marvel and said, "Hey, we have 2 weeks in September with nothing to show. Want to make something for it? We'll even help finance it!" And then Marvel had about 9 months to put a show together from scratch. And unlike other television...

    Marvel's The Inhumans

    I don't necessarily think they needed someone with a martial arts background. They just needed to actually properly train and choreograph the actor. From what I've read, the show was so rushed that Finn Jones was literally learning routines 15 minutes before the scene was shot. Hopefully his...

    The X-Files

    Fox has taken the hint: The X-Files is going to largely avoid its wildly complex mythology episodes next season. They took the wrong hint. People don't dislike mythology episodes. It's one of the reasons there was a big demand for the show to return. What people dislike is Chris Carter...

    In case you need reminding of just how scathing that review is: Scott Buck wrote the finale of Dexter.

    American Gods

    Of the four characters she appeared as this season, only one was from TV (Lucy). The others were Marilyn Monroe from The Seven Year Itch, Judy Garland from Easter Parade, and David Bowie. Though, I suppose David Bowie could technically be considered to be from TV since she was dressed the way...

    New and Upcoming Show list

    First season got added to Hulu recently. Cautiously optimistic for this one. Really enjoyed the comic and Hulu has proven they can put out quality content. It just strikes me as the sort of thing that could be screwed up in so many ways though.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Network television is too stuck in the past, so I'm not surprised an anthology series turned them off. It's the same thing Tim Kring faced with Heroes. Network television doesn't want to take risks and having a new cast each season is definitely risky. They want to be able to depend on...

    New and Upcoming Show list

    Pleasantly surprised that Episodes is coming back for a final season. Considering the previous season ended nearly 2 1/2 years ago, I figured it was just finished, especially since LeBlanc has gotten a new show since.

    Better Call Saul

    Even then, he still could've sold his part of HHM to fund going off the grid. Regardless, I think if Chuck really wanted to go off the grid, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to find the means to do so. He just had no interest in doing that since he obviously wasn't ready to give up...

    Better Call Saul

    That's not what Chuck wanted though. Chuck wanted to go back to being a big shot lawyer because, to Chuck, that was his sole identity. It's why he couldn't stand Jimmy being a lawyer. Chuck saw himself as some great bastion of justice and Jimmy was going to tarnish the occupation and, thus...

    American Gods

    Odin's reveal was done completely different in the book (and much earlier), but I think it worked a lot better the way they did it in the show. In the book, Shadow goes on a carousel with Wednesday, Czernobog, and Mr. Nancy and sees their true forms while riding it. I'm not sure even Bryan...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    "Hey, what if we do a streaming service to compete with Netflix but keep some of the worst aspects of broadcast television!?"

    The Americans

    Yeah, Elizabeth seems to be coming to terms with what she'll have to give up. At this point, though, defection wouldn't feel realistic to me. Both Elizabeth and Philip are still too loyal to betray the USSR - though the use of biological weapons did seem like it could lead them on that road...

    Better Call Saul

    I think it's been clear for a while now that Jimmy is going to lead to Kim's downfall. Ever since he returned, he's been slowly dragging her down, either directly or indirectly. So far, she's been able to weather the storm fairly well due to her tenacity but the pressure is starting to get to...
