You're not going to believe this. Klaus is the exposition fairy this week. Klaus, of all people. And he does it twice, once in a flashback to where Marcel really came from (and showing us why Klaus, not...

I liked the finale of season 4. But I’m kind of hating on the debut of season 5. It’s not as bad as last season, with strange shenanigans about hunters and hybrids and suicidal ministers. In fact,...

About the only thing the cool Originals (Elijah and Rebekah Mikaelson) can rely on: their half-brother Klaus will always be an asshole. That’s the message one gets from this episode, when suave, honorable,...

Those bastards! They killed – waitaminute. Did anyone die this week? Lots of threats of death and violence, but I don't think the body count actually grew for once! Weird. Got to keep the...

Firestorm's most antithetical foe (waitaminute, wasn't that the Golden Glider? No, she went after Flash, didn't she? Hey, team-up idea, DC!) gets a solid origin story in this issue that plays out from the...

Okay, we’re doing a two-for-one, because I had a hard time even seeing both episodes this week. “Speak of the Devil” came through all right, but was terrible for the most part. “Exigent...

You know it’s going to be increasingly about the high concepts, especially now that the show has received a renewal (how can we keep them all in this dome, ya’ll?). This week it’s Fight Club, but...

New best title thus far. Doesn't it just sound spooky and maybe a little mystical, like a cross between an old Boris Karloff devil worship movie and an Orson Welles noir? Come to think of it,...

The inevitable War Over Water breaks out, and the show abandons the character work it teased us with last week to get right back to big sloppy plot machinations. The enmity between Farmer Ollie of the...

Shawn: I was interested in this because I remember pouring over and learning from How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way. That had greats like Buscema and Kirby using their original art as examples of how to get...

Arguably this sort of episode should already have happened; it’s the one where we delve deeper into each of the characters and get to know them better, as a way of building up the ongoing serial arcs. It’s...

The best-titled episode yet is also one of the most satisfying, because finally some logical things start happening. Well, first, an unfortunate bit of bad luck, as the town’s newly resident diabetic lesbian...
