I know I was not alone in feeling a great big “WTF” with regard to the first half of The Walking Dead’s second season. The premiere saw the loss of the little girl Sofia and the entire seven episode run was spent looking for a girl that turned out to be a zombie. It could have been because readers of the comic know the girl is alive and...
Slick’s Nit-Picks: Archer, Episode 305 — “El Contador”
In the grand scheme of things, the position of comptroller is very important, but nothing about it screams “badass.” In last season’s Tragical History, Cyril tried to show his ISIS coworkers that he was more than just a numbers cruncher. This failed horribly as the office got a virus that nearly exposed all field agents and Cyril...
Slick’s Nit-Picks: Archer, Episode 304 — “The Man From Jupiter”
Archer has been through a real gauntlet recently. He has had to fight everything from kidnappers to terrorists to cancer to statutory rape charges. Let’s not even go into how he is paying child support on Cyril’s illegitimate child (which is some real poetic justice when you think about it). Regardless of his troubles,...
American Horror Story: Why It Was Done Right
Say “horror” to me and the first word that comes to my mind is cliché. Everything I see that is supposed to scare me just doesn’t. I laugh and giggle. I call out what’s going to happen before it happens. (Except the train scene in the first Hostel – that creeped me out.) So of course, when I first heard about American Horror...
Holy Holiday Hiatus! When Will My Shows Come Back?
Ahh, yes…it’s that time of year again. Bells are jingling…you have papercuts from wrapping, and you turn on the TV to find endless re-runs of Elf, Christmas With the Kranks, or It’s A Wonderful Life. Never fear fellow TV-oholics! January is not that far away, and with all the holiday food you will surely be consuming the...
Slick’s Nit-Picks: Young Justice, Episode 118 – “Secrets”
Halloween has always been synonymous with weird and creepy things. Batman’s rogues’ gallery looks like a Halloween party gone postal. The creatures the team ran into in the lower levels of Cadmus Labs were pretty nightmarish themselves. However, the scariest thing to me is when a fantastic show like Young Justice has a...
