Supergirl Season 5 Episode 8 Review – ‘The Wrath of Rama Khan’

by

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Supergirl season 5… This might be the warm up episode prior to cross over shenanigans but it still comes across as copy book stuff. Numerous stand offs happening simultaneously make things entertaining but ultimately predictable. Inadequate gods fail spectacularly to raise the ocean floor or destroy our resident […]

Watchmen Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘An Almost Religious Awe’

by

Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Watchmen… From Blaxploitation homage to Balboa boxing soundtrack via the Godfather of Soul, Watchmen has it all. Intricately detailed infomercials give way to multiple protagonists who merge, meld and exchange timelines without leaving the room. Past and present are revealed simultaneously whilst the conundrum of Doctor Manhattan overshadows […]

by

Ricky Church reviews Transformers IDW Collection Phase Two – Volume 9… IDW’s deluxe collections of their previous Transformers continuity have now reached a ninth volume, combining stories from Transformers, More Than Meets The Eye and Windblade into one book. The titles mostly have a different tone and feel to each other, particularly More Than Meets The Eye‘s crazy and meta-filled narrative, but each […]

By separating mind and body from other more theological elements Pullman raises one of life’s great questions. If we exist inside a body […]

The Flash Season 6 Episode 8 Review – ‘The Last Temptation of Barry Allen Part 2’

by

Jessie Robertson reviews the eighth episode of The Flash season 6… In the follow up to last week’s amazing psychological mindtrip can’t quite live up to it’s opening chapter in Part 2. With Barry taken over by Ramsey (whom Cisco eloquently dubbed “Dark Flash”), the team is nearly wittled down to nothing. Iris and Cisco […]

The Mandalorian Season 1 Episode 4 Review – ‘Sanctuary’

by

Ricky Church reviews the fourth episode of The Mandalorian… After the bombastic and action-packed third episode, The Mandalorian took a bit of a quieter approach to its latest episode as The Mandalorian took refuge on a remote planet beset with raiders. Directed by Bryce Dallas Howard, ‘Sanctuary’ was a bit more of a introspective episode as […]
