    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...

    Marvel's The Inhumans

    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...
  16. Cantatus

    American Gods

    Yeah, if this was just them going purely by the book and stretching things out, I'd be concerned. But, so far, the stuff they're using to help expand the story has been great. Going through the plot of the book may be a slow burn, but all the world building and more fleshed out characters...

    Better Call Saul

    Yeah, if you just look at the overnight numbers, it's pretty underwhelming. It's one of AMC's lowest performing shows only beating The Son, Humans, (co-developed with Channel 4), Turn (ending after this season), and Halt and Catch Fire (also ending), and it's ratings are lower than last season...

    Better Call Saul

    I think Walter literally poisoning a kid to manipulate Jesse is a little worse than Saul manipulating a bunch of old biddies to become passive aggressive. Still, I love that with as much of a scumbag Saul was in this episode, Chuck still manages to outdo him. He'd rather destroy the company he...

    American Gods

    Yeah, immigration is a necessary part of the story because it's what explains how the so many different gods got here. It's why Gaiman set this story in America and why it wouldn't work anywhere else. It's something unique to America's identity and history. But acknowledging immigration is...

    American Gods

    I don't think Mexican Jesus is actually dead regardless. If you'll recall, there's a story about some people trying to kill Jesus before, and he came back three days later. This is one of the ways Mexican Jesus gains followers. The ones who lived and witnessed what happened will become more...

    Fargo

    Yeah, the new police chief just feels like a lazy way of throwing a wrench into the investigation to make things more difficult for her. It really serves no purpose aside from giving her reasons to sneak around. I thought we were going to get a "turn in your badge and gun!" scene last night...

    American Gods

    Laura's lack of belief meant she didn't really have any connection to the gods. Anubis is the closest she has because she's surrounded by Egyptian themed stuff all day. If you'll recall, he collected the woman last week despite her being Muslim primarily because she was told stories about him...

    Fargo

    Killing her would've only drawn even more attention from the police. Varga is frustrated with the situation between the brothers for that exact reason. He knows the problems between the brothers is only making his business dealings more difficult, but he also knows Sy is incompetent at...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    If Joss created SWORD, it'd make sense that he'd want to include it in the show. But, yeah, if SWORD has been replaced by Alpha Flight, that'd lead me to believe it's not something they can use since Marvel has seemed to be trying to minimize anything they can't use in the MCU (hence why X-Men...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Huh, would be interesting if both AoS and Legion are doing SWORD next season.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    A lot of shows would be smart to adopt that format. If network television is going to continue to do 22 episode seasons stretched from August to May, structuring it so you have mini-seasons rather than just random hiatuses throughout the year is the smartest way of doing things. It's much...

    American Gods

    They've said they plan to go off-book. This season is supposed to cover the first third of the book, but later seasons will incorporate material from a sequel Gaiman has been working on.
  28. Cantatus

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Or they're hedging their bets. If Inhumans bombs, they have AoS to fall back on.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    They didn't hate him. They just didn't trust him. Both May and Coulson confirmed that they fully remembered both lives, which means Fitz does as well. He was also the only one to leave the Framework not "awake" to his real life. So the question becomes: Which Fitz does Fitz identify with...

    Renewed for season two. Is good.

    Marvel's The Inhumans

    Honestly, I'm fine with that. Let AoS be the spy show. Inhumans can be the intergalactic one. No crossover means Inhumans doesn't have to be as grounded and AoS doesn't have to get as out-there as Inhumans has the potential to be. Plus, if Inhumans tanks, less chance of it taking AoS down...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I like the fact that the reason this Ward is good is because Victoria Hand recruited him when it was her death that revealed the real Ward's treachery.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    They might've wanted it, but I'm pretty sure they started filming this prior to Paxton's death. Plus, Paxton was working on another show and likely wouldn't have had the time even if he didn't die. It would've been great to see him show up again though. I think the reason Mace wasn't any...

    Legion

    That's my impression as well. SK couldn't use his powers when he was in David due to David usually being able to prevent him in taking over. Once he got into Sydney, he was "out", could fully take over his host, and therefore use his own powers on top of whatever powers the body he's in has.
  35. Cantatus

    Legion

    I'm pretty sure Walter was some sort of telepath. He seems to be able to get into people's heads, so I don't think he actually shape-shifted, just made others think that's what they were seeing. I can't remember him being bulltetproof, but that could've been something similar where he just...
  36. Cantatus

    Legion

    Really looking forward to Jemaine Clement playing the villain next season. He was already doing a great job as Oliver. I've been trying to figure out if they're just trying to do a more ambiguous time period so they have a lot more flexibility with the aesthetics of the show similar to...

    That whole Bolero sequence was fucking amazing, one of the best things I've seen on television so far this year.

    Marvel's Iron Fist

    I do have to wonder if this show is as bad as reviews are making it sound, if this becomes the first Marvel series to not get a second season. He could live on through Defenders and be like the Black Widow of the Netflix series, where he just shows up from time to time. Inhumans is already...
