    Marvel's Agent Carter

    I think part of the problem is that the SSR is meant to function as a foil to Peggy. They aren't necessarily the "big bad", but they're an obstacle since Peggy has to work around to help Stark. But, for the most part, they've been shown to largely be imbeciles and really haven't posed much of...

    Constantine

    Well, the bad news is the show was (unsurprisingly) not among the list of showsNBC has decided to renew. The good news is Syfy recently did a Constantine marathon that did relatively well, so the rumor floating around now (and I have no idea how credible this site really is) is that NBC is...

    Jupiter Ascending (2015)

    I hate to say it, but I really have a hard time taking her seriously because of her voice. Perhaps it's from all the years of watching her on That 70's Show and hearing her on Family Guy, but there's sort of a cartoonish quality to the way she speaks. It works really well when she's in a...

    Gotham

    Agreed. I'm just hoping they take their time setting up Riddler as a villain and don't rush into it before the end of the season. His storyline should be more of a slow burn with him beginning to realize how much smarter he is than everyone around him and seeing more and more what he can get...

    Jupiter Ascending (2015)

    Heh, I think that was obvious the moment the studio pushed this back to February. They claimed it was because they needed more time to finish special effects, but I don't think it's a stretch to say at least part of the reason was they knew they couldn't compete with the summer blockbusters...

    Marvel's Agent Carter

    I like how they're showing that Leviathan clearly hasn't been perfected by this point. Dottie may be great at fighting and espionage, but between her handcuffing herself to her bed and her pretending to be Peggy, there's obviously something a little off about her.

    Gotham

    Not to mention the fact that Gordon knows there are several people in the GCPD now out to get him... so why not publicly announce your new love interest in front of all of them. Some brains on that guy...

    At this point, it'd be easier for them to just announce which of Batman's primary villains arenotappearing in this season.

    Heroes Reborn

    Pretty much. Characters like Peter and Sylar wouldn't have been a problem had their storyline been limited to just the one season. By bringing them back, they suddenly had to deal with the fact that they had essentially created two demigods, so they had to keep coming up with ways to keep them...

    Jurassic Park 4

    I think the scene with the people running and getting carried off by pterodactyls shows just how unnecessary the whole genetically modified dinosaur plot is. I'd have a lot more optimism for this movie if the focus on the park breaking down after it is successfully opened rather than Super...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I'm guessing their idea is that the movie will appeal to women on the basis that it's similar to Bridesmaids and guys will see it since it's Ghostbusters.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I think McCarthycanbe funny, but she's just been sort of stuck in this schtick of being loud, crass, and a personified series of fat jokes. Considering this started with Feig's Bridesmade movie and he used her the same way in The Heat, I'd be really surprised if he didn't want her to be the...

    Gotham

    Flashpoint/New 52 has reverted Barbara Gordon back to being Jim's biological daughter, which I'd assume the show would have to follow. (She's also no longer left permanently paralyzed after Joker shoots her in the back.) And now seeing what his mother is like, this development is a lot more...

    Supposedly, this will be dealing with Jonathan Crane's father, but still, only two episodes for Scarecrow? I really question the rate they're going through villains. By the end of the season, they'll easily have includedat leasthalf of Batman's most notable adversaries. WithDollmaker,Red...

    Gotham

    When Penguin takes over that club, he should really think about installing some security cameras or maybe a lock on the front door. That place just constantly has people with murderous intent wandering in off the streets.

    Guild Wars 2

    So,only one specialization per class in this expansion: So... not so much as a "specialization" as everyone gettting the same new weapon (for now). The thing that disappoints me the most about this is it looks like Mesmer's are going to be getting shields. I've been really looking forward to...

    Guild Wars 2

    It would've been nice to see them go into more detail on group content. They kept saying "better challenges", "new types of group content," "harder boss encounters", etc. but really didn't explain what exactly this entails. I appreciate we'll have new ways to advance our characters, but if...

    Dungeon Defenders II

    My biggest problem with the game was always the rampant mudflation which is something they never seemed to learn from. They added loot that trivialized the highest difficulty within a month of the game's release, so they released an expansion with an even harder difficulty... then proceeded to...

    Gotham

    The unfortunate effect of that is that it makes him the most boring character on the show to watch. To his credit, he at least figured out pretty quickly that it was Fish who took her and was willing to (eventually) believe Penguin.

    Survivor

    Some of the occupations for the tribe strike me as odd. Law student is "no collar"? Hairdresser is "blue collar"? Sierra cleans up nicely. But yeah, I'm with Soygen. I'd much rather have women on this show that are worth watching because they actually play the game and not just because...

    stupidest TV show of the year 2015 - The Slap NBC

    It's supposed to be an 8 episode "television event", which is what they're calling miniseries now apparently. But I hope it gets more than one season, because I want to see this bethe plot for the second season.

    I couldn't decide if that was Fish being stupid or if that's the way the writers actually think this works. Considering Falcone didn't laugh in her face when she proposed filling out the Mafioso Don Form, it makes me think the latter.

    Yeah, I was waiting for something to come from her visiting her parents. She asked if she could stay with her parents for a few days and lied about still being with Jim... Glad we're getting weekly updates on her living situation, I guess. That pointlessness aside, it was sort of nice to...

    Hannibal won't beback until the summer.Considering they just started filming last month, I guess this isn't a surprise. They likely wouldn't have been ready to premiere in February like last year, and pushing it to March through May wouldn't have done the show any favors. This might not be the...

    Mythbusters

    When they were just doing general "movie myths" and focusing on typical movie contrivances, I didn't mind it too much. Things like driving through fruit stands, bouncing off awnings, ejection seats, etc. were all sort of cool to see put in practice, and you see them done so often you start to...

    Going to be scratching my head over the Lego snub for a while. Even if it wasn't the best animated movie of the year (which is hard for me to say since I haven't seen most of the others), it really deserved a nomination just for accomplishing what it did. It's so unlike any other animated...

    Yeah, and I think a lot of the problem is their hands are tied in many respects when it comes to these villains. The first episode, when Gordon was ordered to kill Penguin, it had no tension, because we knew the Penguin wasn't going to die. He can't. We know Batman faces the Penguin someday...

    Gotham

    If the entire premise of the show was based on a world without Batman and advertised as such, I don't think people are so stupid that the concept would confuse them. And honestly, this show basically is an alternate universe as it is. It's a universe where Gordon runs into the entirety of...

    I've actually thought the opposite. The show would benefit fromlessBatman. The show should've started with Bruce Wayne dying along with his parents. That would've put a whole different spin on the universe. It's no longer Gordon keeping Bruce's seat warm as the city's moral crusader, but him...

    My point was if the person who wrote two Scooby-Doo movies can give us Guardians of the Galaxy, it's hard to predict how good Ant-Man will be based on its director's history.
