Rachel Bellwoar reviews the ninth episode of Powerless… To answer the question last week’s “Green Fury” proposed, about whether meanness passes for comedy these days, we have Van saying, in reference to a senior coworker, “Dorothy can ride in my chopper.

Powerless Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Van v Emily: Dawn of Justice’
Rachel Bellwoar reviews the seventh episode of Powerless… Like Superman appearing on Supergirl, could a series regular who’s a superhero usurp Powerless from the powerless?

Maybe Crimson Fox has spoken to Emily twice (plus saved her life from […]

24: Legacy Season 1 Episode 10 Review – ‘9:00 PM – 10:00 PM’
Ricky Church reviews the tenth episode of 24: Legacy… Well, the comparisons to 24: Legacy and its predecessor grew even more with its latest episode. The cast once again gave a strong performance, but not even they could elevate ‘9:00 PM – 10:00 PM’ past its story problems. One of my constant criticisms of the […]

Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Episode 18 – ‘Double Agent Droid’
Chris Cooper reviews Star Wars Rebels – ‘Double Agent Droid’… R2-D2 and C-3P0 are the most recognisable droids in Star Wars.

Not Jar Jar levels, but […]

Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Episode 17 Review – ‘Secret Cargo’
Chris Cooper reviews Star Wars Rebels – ‘Secret Cargo’… From a story sense Secret Cargo is a very simple episode of Star Wars Rebels.
