Foggy has finally discovered Matt’s secret, and he doesn’t exactly take it well. Over the course of the episode we flip between the fallout, with Foggy trying to reconcile this news with the Matt he knows and loves, and flashbacks to their first meeting, their time in school, their first internship, working together with their desks crammed into a closet.

Oliver Queen is finally stepping up to become the Demon’s Head.

If there’s one thing you can do that will absolutely annoying me it’s begin in the third act. It’s a common device in comic books in which the first three pages are actually the beginning of the third act and then the rest of the comic is spent getting to that same point in time.
Read MoreReview: Daredevil 1.8 – Shadows in the Glass
The eighth episode of Marvel and Netflix’s Daredevil series is probably the best episode. In fact it feels very much like the end of the first half of the season. Whereas “Stick” was an origin story of Matt’s skills and established what shaped him to be the man he is, “Shadows in the Glass” is Wilson Fisk’s origin.

I truly look forward to this show every Tuesday. The show is nothing what I expected, and I think a lot of new comic fans would agree. To put it in one sentence, I expected was some typical over sexualized zombie to fight with her friends and fall in love with total losers while failing at life, but what I got was an average girl who was at the wrong place and now has to deal with seclusion while solving crimes and turning not to hurt the people she loves.

Did I actually enjoy an episode of Gotham? I think I did, the show is still jerky and confuses the DC/Batman mythology, but this episode had some really enjoyable set pieces. The show still had its concurrent story-lines (minus Fish Mooney) but this time they flowed together well. Usually the show feels like each storyline is written separately, filmed separately and then edited together by a third party.

Well Gotham came back with a bit of a whimper. It took me a while to get round to watching it (sorry). Here is a run down of some of the story-lines involved.
Read MoreReview: Daredevil 1.7 - Stick
“Stick” is a tough episode for me for a couple reasons. On the one hand, Stick is a character that I have never gotten; from Man Without Fear through to his and the Hand’s involvement in Brubaker’s run, he’s never clicked for me.

I’m filling in on The Flash for a bit and man oh man did I pick the wrong time to start reviewing this series. If you’ve listened to the CBMFP then you know that I’m kind of a fan of The Flash or at least I was.
Read MoreReview: Daredevil 1.6 - Condemned
So I’m going to preface my review with this trivia nugget: Daredevil is the comic book that made me want to write comics for a living, so, to paraphrase Daniel Plainview, when I say I’m a Daredevil guy, you’ll know that I’m telling the truth. I’m gonna try and shut that off as much as possible during these reviews, but if you see some foam on your computer screen, that’s just me and my unbridled excitement.
Read MoreReview: Daredevil 1.5 - World on Fire
Okay, so, disclaimer time. I know most of you marathoned Daredevil immediately and have likely finished the season. I’m taking my time. I haven’t watched past this episode. It’ll definitely make it easier for me to focus my review on this specific episode and not let my thoughts on the entire season take over.

Wowza what an episode. Where do I start with this one? This episode was incredibly Roy-centric, which I loved since Roy happens to be one of my DC faves (sorry, Ollie).
Read MoreReview: Daredevil 1.4 – In The Blood
Episode four gave us a closer look at our villains. We start with our Russian brothers, glimpsing the hell they survived together in prison. I should’ve known this would be a solid episode when our buddy Vlad pulled out the rib bones of their deceased cell mate to use as weapons.
Read MoreReview: Daredevil 1.3 – Rabbit in a Snowstorm
Yes, I admit it. I went and watched three episodes all at once and then a second time. I am trying to use as much restraint as possible though, as I want to really enjoy each and every savory morsel of this delicious Netflix series rather than gorging myself just because I can.
Read MoreReview: Daredevil 1.2 - Cut Man
Once again, as a super colossal, super fantastic, super Daredevil comic fan, I must take a step back and channel into a different realm of consciousness becoming a N.E.R.D.
Read MoreGroup Review: Daredevil 1.1 - Into The Ring
Tired of Daredevil yet? I hope not because you’re about to read the biggest group review on the site to date. Seriously everyone is watching this even if they’re not on the group review they’re watching it. There’s a lot to go over so a quick synopsis: Marvel got Daredevil back from Fox and they made a TV show. No teeter-tottering happens. You’ll figure out the rest.

After two completely boring and formulaic entries this week is a little better. Not much better but a little better. The show in general had a great first episode and then it degenerated into formula pretty quickly.

Damn, I thought this was another solid outing by Agents of SHIELD. Not as action packed as the previous episodes but we were starting to get story constipation and we desperately needed an exposition dump and what a dump this was!
Read MoreReview: Arrow 3.18 - Public Enemy
This week we got an action-packed episode with quite a bit of Lance’s personal drama. Plus Ray had a bit of a storyline, and in our flashbacks, Ollie meets Shado’s sister.
Read MoreReview: iZombie 1.3 – The Exterminator
Well I missed a review for last week’s show so I’ll touch on that before I get to what happened this week. Last week was largely the same as the pilot. It built on the exact same formulas and relationships established in the pilot and failed to expand in any discernible way.
