FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 8×01- “Armageddon, Part 1”
The Flash (08×01)- “Armageddon, Part 1″ Written by: Eric Wallace Directed by: Eric Dean Seaton The year is 2031 and Central City is about to be destroyed. Things look bad, really bad but don’t worry gang! Despero is here to save us! Hold up… There’s a lot to unpack here. Not just that Despero looks a bit like Vincent Van Gogh but last I checked Despero isn’t a “Thank God you’re here! We’re safe now!” kind of guy. He’s more of a guy that I’d expect to be causing this kind of thing. So maybe we should show the special title card and back things up a little. It’s…

It seems The Client has brought an Imperial garrison to Nevarro and the crackdown has not only hurt the city but the guild as well. If Mando agrees to come help them break…

Anime Review: BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO
When the evil empire is forcing everyone to go bald, it’s up to a man with enormous nose hair and afro of gold called Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (yes that’s his actual name) to save people’s free hair. I’m wondering what the Mangaka (the word you use for manga creator) was thinking when he created the manga that this anime is based on. It has a great message behind insanity going haywire. Some of you that might have seen this hair-raiser may be confused over that sentence. I’m not talking about the insanity part. I might have gone a bit too low with that hairline. I have stretched the string more than…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 4×11- “The Elongated Knight Rises”
The Flash (4×11) – “The Elongated Knight Rises” Written by: Sterling Gates & Thomas Pound Directed by: Alexandra La Roche Okay, last week the producers made the bold choice to put Barry in jail so I guess it’s time to start dealing with that. We start off with pretty typical TV prison stuff since Barry’s been in the hole exactly a week and there’s already a prison riot. Barry takes care of that which is good because Joe’s taking care of a hostage situation with the help of Ralph. It’s okay, Ralph since this guy learned about hostage negotiations by watching the original Robocop. Unfortunately, Ralph and Cisco…
