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.

Slick’s Nit-Picks: Young Justice, Episode 118 – “Secrets”

Hey Walking Dead…Please Don’t Make Me Hate You

So, for now, look at this zombie - With that said….WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?????????? Is this the same show? Last season had me hooked and on the edge...
Slick’s Nit-Picks: ThunderCats, Episode 111 — “The Forest of Magi Oar”
The death knell for the original ThunderCats show was when the writers changed our heroes from defenders of justice into the predecessors of Captain Planet and the Planeteers. The episodes were not terrible, but they were a far cry from what the show had been. There is nothing wrong with showing kids the importance of...
