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.

Holy Holiday Hiatus! When Will My Shows Come Back?

Never fear fellow TV-oholics! January is not that far away, and with all the holiday food you will surely be consuming the...

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...
Hey Walking Dead…Please Don’t Make Me Hate You
Okay folks – don’t read this if you have not seen last night’s mid-season finale of The Walking Dead, as I am about to give an opinion that will surely spoil it – lackluster as it was. 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...
