Last Night’s Supergirl Flipped the Script on the Show’s Biggest Relationship

Ever since Supergirl began, its heart has been centered around the most important relationship in Kara Danvers’ life—not her superheroic duties carrying on in her cousin’s shadow, not her myriad love interests, but the bond she’s shared with her adoptive human sister, Alex. Now, that relationship has gone through a hell of a change. A…

Last Night’s Big American Horror Story Twist Was Kinda Bullshit

American Horror Story’s refusal to reveal its theme in advance was an early sign that season six would be more unusual than… well,usual. The first five episodes were formatted as a reality TV show—My Roanoke Nightmare—and last night’s episode six unveiled the much-rumored BIG TWIST. But the twist, sadly, was far from shocking. Last week…

Fear the Walking Dead Just Had Its Own Red Wedding

If a character on a popular genre show is looking to get hitched, you may want to brace yourself. On Sunday’s Fear the Walking Dead, a seemingly happy wedding went horribly wrong and it was impossible not to think of the iconic scene from Game of Thrones: The Red Wedding. The big difference, of course,…

Fear the Walking Dead Is Back With an Episode Unlike Any Other

Fear the Walking Dead returned Sunday as what felt like a very different show. It felt more like an episode of Lost, really, focusing on one single character—in this case Nick—and flashing back to reveal a significant piece of his past. Nick’s father, and likely Alicia’s too, was emotionally absent in his later years and…

Fear the Walking Dead Explores the Positive Side of the Zombie Apocalypse

Sunday’s episode of Fear the Walking Dead was the mid-season finale, leaving viewers with a few cliffhangers as the show goes away until August. It’s been a mostly monotonous, occasionally interesting, season but this episode finally put gave us some meat on the bone (so to speak) In the episode titled “Shiva,” Celia (Marlene Forte)…

All the Ways Lucifer Succeeded in Being Entertaining as Hell in Its First Season

Despite our initial misgivings—did we really need another police procedural?—Lucifer won us over fast. In fact, after just two episodes, we were ready to declare it the best supernatural detective show we’d ever seen. Now, with the finale airing tonight, we’re just as excited about the show as ever. Here’s why. https://gizmodo.com/lucifer-might-just-be-the-best-supernatural-detective-s-1754535307 The main characters…

Fear the Walking Dead Just Had Its Best Action Scene Yet

If you didn’t fall asleep in the first half of Sunday’s episode of Fear the Walking Dead, you were rewarded with one of the best scenes in the series to date—a tense action scene with a pretty big revelation at the end. You can watch it in the clip above, but basically Daniel and the…

Agents of SHIELD Actually Managed To Make Grant Ward Even Creepier

You thought it couldn’t be done! But they totally did it. First Grant Ward was a dead-eyed psycho who killed his family and betrayed his friends (and may have killed an adorable dog). Then he turned into Daisy’s obsessed stalker, with a weird relationship with the Agent 33 and a penchant for brainwashing. After he…

Here’s the Best and the Worst of Supergirl, in One Two-Minute Clip

I kind of love Supergirl, but jeez is this show uneven. Just watch this clip, which showcases everything great about the series, followed immediately by everything terrible. Spoilers ahead! The Kryptonian storyline has somewhat ironically been Supergirl’s Kryptonite from day one, and last night’s penultimate episode proved that it’s continuing to be pretty terrible. Norm…

Shadowhunters Managed to Include Everything That Was Subversive About the Books

Shadowhunters is a cheesy fantasy show airing on a network that nobody’s heard of (the former ABC Family, now confusingly called Freeform). But maybe because this show slid so far under the radar, it was able to capture a ton of the subversiveness of the books by Cassandra Clare, including both same-sex relationships and female…

The Two Words Guaranteed To Make Any Agents of SHIELD Episode a Billion Times More Awesome

“Shotgun Axe.” Spoilers ahead… In the clip above, we see Mack triumphing over a handful of xenophobic wack jobs, by creating his signature weapon out of a shotgun and a meat cleaver. The Shotgun Axe is indeed a mighty weapon from a more civilized era. In general, last night’s Agents of SHIELD was a fun…

The Shadowhunters Wedding Ended With the Big Moment We’ve Been Dying to See

Alec was about to get hitched to Lydia. As powerful Shadowhunters, they’d rule the Institute, restore the Lightwood name, spend their lives in a loveless union, etc. But Alec’s feelings could not be denied, and with the season finale coming next week, Shadowhunters finally delivered with “Malec.” Instead of this: He went for this: And…

Nearly everything that happens on Damien is utterly ridiculous. But we’ve narrowed it down to the three most WTF-did-that-just-happen moments. Par for the course when you’re dealing with the Antichrist, the type of guy who can inspire spontaneous self-castration among those in his midst. Yeah. That totally went down, in the police station, no less,…

Last Night’s Supergirl/Flash Team-Up Was Everything We Want in Life

Superheroes! They are dark and vengeful and their lives are full of miserable carnage. Or carnivorous misery. I dunno. Point is, superheroes are existentially dismal and violent. So when Supergirl teamed up with the Flash, it was just an orgy of death and angst. Oh wait. No, it wasn’t. Spoilers ahead… Seriously, last night’s episode…

Chloe’s Scifi Movie Queen Mom Finally Showed Up on Lucifer, and It Was Perfect

The first time we went to Chloe’s house, way back in episode two of Lucifer, we learned that her mother, Penelope, was a former science-fiction B-movie goddess. The show has been teasing her reveal all season, and last night, on “Pops,” the Vampire Queen herself finally turned up, played by a perfectly-cast Rebecca De Mornay.…

Shadowhunters Just Dropped Its Biggest Bombshell Yet

Shadowhunters’ first season wraps up April 5, and with the Mortal Cup already in hand, the show has ramped up the personal drama as the mission to take down Valentine continues. In “Blood Calls to Blood,” Jace and Clary endured a series of revelations that culminated in the show’s most shocking moment so far. Spoilers,…

Supergirl Just Keeps Getting Better and Better

From the beginning, Supergirl has been a flawed show with a lot of heart. The “problem of the week” storytelling has occasionally fallen a little flat, but the characters have gotten sharper and sharper. But last night’s episode, “Manhunter,” proved Supergirl has become essential viewing. Apart from a half-hearted subplot about Siobahn, Kara’s work rival,…

Lucifer Wins Satanic Monday Again, But Damien Is Definitely Getting Better

We already knew that Amenadiel plucked Malcolm and his sleazy facial hair from the fiery pit after the fallen police officer was taken off life support. And we knew that Dan, who’s been trying to hard to work things out with Chloe, was the person who shot him. But in both cases, we didn’t know…

Supergirl Paid Tribute to One of the All-Time Greatest Scenes of Superdickery

Monday’s episode of Supergirl was kinda forgettable… but it did give us the scene where Supergirl (who’s turned eeevil) goes into a bar and starts getting rowdy, flicking peanuts into the liquor bottles with her superstrength. Remind you of anything? Bingo: Of all the versions of Superman storylines that Supergirl has given us, this might…

Shadowhunters‘ Alternative Universe Is Weirdly Nerdy and Nice

On “This World Inverted,” Clary’s search for her mother takes her through a portal into a sun-dappled dimension where Shadowhunters don’t exist, but nerdcore most certainly does. The best character is (as always) Magnus, who now favors cardigans and cats, and peddles his fortune-telling trade via cheesy infomercials. Without the confines of his family, the…
