Gotham recap: Season 4, Episode 05, “The Blade’s Path,” Aired Oct 19, 2017 This episode was classic Gotham. Jim and Harvey yelled at each other but are still undoubtedly best friends. Jim and Alfred argued and agreed behind Bruce’s back, and Bruce snuck out anyway. We all need an Alfred to give advice and keep us […]

Gotham recap: Season 4, Episode 04, “The Demon’s Head,” Aired Oct 12, 2017 This episode was written by Ben McKenzie! That’s right – our very own Jim Gordon wrote tonight’s episode. And he delivered. There was a dogman named Anubis (who is the stuff of nightmares), and – in a particularly entertaining scene – Nygma sent […]

Gotham recap: Season 4, Episode 03, “They Who Hide Behind Masks,” Aired Oct 5, 2017 What’s green and red and goes round and round? The answer is at the bottom of this recap. This week gave us backstory, a secret from Falcone, two love plots no one asked for, the return of The Riddler (sort of), […]

Gotham recap: Season 4, Episode 02, “The Fear Reaper,” Aired Sept 28, 2017 This episode brings us one step closer to Batman and Poison Ivy, but the Scarecrow is keeping us busy until then. Jonathan Crane and Penguin both provoke Gordon, who is definitely rubbing off on Bruce because the both of them keep being numbskulls […]

Whovians, we are officially three months away from this year’s Christmas special, “Twice Upon a Time.” It has already been a long hiatus, but the promise of a great Christmas special is keeping us going. Here are just a handful of reasons we’re ready for the holiday season to come around already. Two Doctors This […]

Will season finale recap: Season 1, Episode 10, “Once, Bright Angel,” Aired September 4, 2017 The season finale was full of triumph, vengeance, excitement, and nerves. There was a heroic breakout from Topcliffe’s prison, an inspirational pep talk among the players, an emotional revelation for Marlowe, and Presto’s acting debut. On my part, there was nail […]

Will recap: Season 1, Episode 9, “Play the Devil,” Aired August 28, 2017 The title of the episode comes from Richard III, in a completely appropriate quote for the events of the show: “And thus I clothe my naked villainy. With odd old ends stol’n forth of holy writ, And seem a saint when most I […]

Will recap: Season 1, Episode 8, “Your Houses,” Aired August 21, 2017 This episode contained public beheadings, questionable alliances, a chat with a fictional character, and an outbreak. Just when things started looking up, we were all knocked down. But what were we expecting from an episode with the opening quote, “a plague on both your […]

Season 1 of The Defenders is available on Netflix August 18. Fair warning: This review will not be entirely spoiler-free, but I will keep spoilers to a minimum. Read at your own risk. The Defenders is a textbook Netflix Marvel show. It has everything we’ve grown to expect from these shows, including plenty of street fights, […]

Will recap: Season 1, Episode 7, “What Dreams May Come,” Aired August 14, 2017 This episode had no shortage of inner turmoil, as both Will and Alice try to deal with the fallout of Will’s confrontation from the last episode. Alice attempts to find stability with the help of Southwell. Meanwhile, Topcliffe goes on a rampage. […]

Let me start by saying that I am a Shakespeare nerd. I read his plays and sonnets for fun, and I genuinely enjoy them. So, of course, I was extremely excited to hear that a show about the Bard was out there. After quickly finding out that no one else I know was watching it, […]

I’ve noticed that a lot of Whovians are obsessed with “The Doctor’s Daughter.” Besides seeing the episode talked about all over the Internet, I attended a Peter Davison panel at a Doctor Who convention and a good number of questions were about the episode even though he wasn’t even a part of it. For all […]

It is officially the end of the Twelfth. The Thirteenth Doctor was announced in a short video after Wimbledon this morning. The new Doctor is female! Our new Doctor, number 13, is *drumroll please* Jodie Whittaker! After a brief look through her IMDb page, the only stand-out title on there (for me) was Broadchurch, where […]

Greetings, Whovians! I hope you’re all surviving the hiatus so far. The wait from now until Christmas couldn’t be any longer, but season 10 gave us plenty to talk about for the next 163 days. While we wait, and since I’m still reeling from that season finale, let’s take some time to look back and […]

Doctor Who season 10 finale recap: Season 10, Episode 12, “The Doctor Falls” Aired July 1, 2017 This week’s episode was an emotional rollercoaster. We witnessed fear, mania, upset, glee, relief, and suspense. For anyone who survived that ride, let’s break open a pack of Jelly Babies and talk this through together. Here are the highlights […]
