There’s something to be said about consistency on a reality show like American Idol. It’s so rare and this Wednesday, we might have discovered why. After watching the second group of twelve performance their minute-and-a-half solo songs, we were left with little more to go by than before the show had started. Sure, no one […]

The FlashBack: ‘The Flash’ – Episode 14 ‘Escape From Earth-2’
Last night’s episode picks up from last week’s. There are spoilers—abandon now if you hate spoilers. Anyway, Zoom has Barry and now he is hunting Harry, spreading his demand that citizens “bring him Wells” all over the city.
American Idol XV: Top 24, Group 1 Show
This week we got a double dose of our first twelve contestants before the judges cut them from an even dozen to the lucky seven who would move on to the Top 14 show next week. On Wednesday night, we saw each of them sing solo then on Thursday night’s results show, they sang with […]
The FlashBack: ‘The Flash’ – Episode 13 ‘Welcome to Earth-2’
This week the team heads off to Earth-2 to stop Zoom and rescue Jesse. It’s an action-packed episode with a lot of great Easter eggs for comics fans, but as always this recap contains spoilers. If you’re not into that it’s time to get off the ride because it’s full speed ahead to Earth-2 from here!
Fly Like a Girl: ‘Supergirl’ – Episode 13 ‘For The Girl Who Has Everything’
Last night’s episode was a riff off of the classic Superman story “For the Man Who Has Everything.” It was an ambitious undertaking and ultimately felt as organic to Supergirl as true to the classic Alan Moore material. Spoilers beyond this point.
Marvel’s Wil Traval Discusses ‘Jessica Jones’ Taking Over Netflix
In recent years, the world of entertainment has been touched more and more by non-American performers, writers, and artists. Look at any award show, and many of the nominees and presenters will deliver speeches in various, lovely accents. Television has certainly been no exception. And thanks to Australian actor Wil Traval, Marvel is one of the […]
American Idol XV: Hollywood Week Concludes
Last week, we saw some of our favorite contestants from the auditions rise and fall when asked to sing in lines of ten with other contestants and in groups. This week, Hollywood Week reached its climax as the contestants performed twice more: once before the infamous division of them into three rooms with one of […]
The FlashBack: ‘The Flash’ – Episode 12 “’Fast Lane’
The episode opens up two years ago at night in an industrial building. A couple of bad guys have a man tied up and are dangling him over a vat of hot, bubbling tar. The bound guy has money that the thugs want and if he doesn’t give it up, they will drop him into the tar below.
Fly Like a Girl: ‘Supergirl’ – Episode 12 ‘Bizarro’
Last night’s episode opens up three months into the past. Maxwell Lord enters Lab 52 (a nice nod to the 52 universes in DC Comics). Inside he looks upon the unconscious girl we have seen in the past few episodes.
Entertainment Roundup: What Happened in January
New year, new you, new headline-making stories in entertainment! Over the past month, we’ve seen some of the biggest stories come out of Hollywood. From losing beloved members of the entertainment industry to big winners at the Golden Globes, this month had it all! Without further ado, let’s recap on the biggest, best, and most-discussed […]
American Idol XV: Hollywood Week, Part 1
Over the 15 years Idol has graced our television sets, I’ve always wondered why the producers insist on keeping the group round as part of Hollywood Week. It’s painful to watch contestants stay up all night, struggle, and fight over choreography, only to tank (or succeed) the next day. However, I came to a few realizations […]
The FlashBack: ‘The Flash’ – Episode 11 ‘The Reverse-Flash Returns’
As the episode opens with our hero narrating, Barry talks about the nature of running and how it plays out in his life: running to avoid things. While he is running Harry and Cisco are irritating each other in the lab with Harry being demanding about what Barry needs to do and Cisco just poking his buttons.
Fly Like a Girl: ‘Supergirl’ – Episode 11 ‘Strange Visitor from Another Planet’
Last night’s episode can be somewhat divided into two sections: First, there is the J’onn plot section and second, the Cat plot section. The episode flows as a woven tapestry, but it makes more sense to explain what happens based on the specific characters since there is very little overlap this time.
