The CW Superfriends: Flash

Next up on our trip through the CW Superfriends, the Fastest Man Alive gets his own show.

Don't blink.

Wait. Now I want to see Flash vs the Weeping Angels.

That does not happen in this show. So what does?

Babylon 5: The Sound of the Future

In my recent post on Arrow, I made mention of the good job Blake Neely did making the show's music unique and memorable.

This was on my mind while continuing my run through of Babylon 5 and I realized I hadn't mentioned Christopher Franke's excellent work on the show.

Franke's music is like nothing else on television before or since. In fact, the music was so integral to the show that when Call to Arms, the prequel movie that launched the Crusade spin-off, aired and didn't have Franke's music behind it, the whole thing felt off. It was like a well made fan film rather than a true part of the Babylon 5 cannon.

I highly recommend you take a listen for yourself or better yet go watch the show.

Here's a taste:

The CW Superfriends: Arrow

The second installment of our look into the CW stable of superhero television series brings us Arrow.

What lessons did the studio learn from Smallville? Is any location more overused that Vancouver? Will the CW ever climb out of Pretty, Pretty Valley?

All this and more after the jump.

You've Committed One of the Classic Blunders...

The most famous is "Never Get Involved in a Land War in Asia".

Russell Newquist has a short review up of Marvel's Doctor Strange. It's good, so go check it out. I'll wait.

Back? Okay, we can dive in. Some spoilers ahead.

The CW Superfriends: Smallville

Smallville.

The word pulls up quaint, quiet middle America. Corn and wheat and white picket fences. And one of the most iconic superheroes of all time.

Though it first aired nearly seventeen years ago, Smallville made waves that are still being felt today. If you've enjoyed any of the CW shows in the past few years, you owe their existence to the success of that first gamble.

Here's my thoughts. I'm reverting the format of the review, for reasons that should become clear.

Netflix's Voltron: Legendary Defender

I finished up the second season of Netflix and DreamWorks re-vamp of the 1980's cartoon series. If you've been without internet for the last year and a half, welcome back. Now go watch this show.

Why?

To the review.

AMC's Into the Badlands

I watched the first season of Into the Badlands on Netflix a while back. Here's my take. Spoilers Ahead.
