Review:

Awesome! This was the show I was most excited for and it was my favorite pilot so far.

There were a few heavy handed parts when people were talking about heroes and courage and all that junk; but overall I really liked it and I’m excited for the rest of the series.

Liked the casting. Liked the story. I’m glad they’re finally introducing powers to the Arrow/Flash universe. Looking forward to crossovers and the way the series develops. Hopefully it’s like Arrow and gets better as it goes.

Starring:

Vanessa Marshall

Freddie Prinze Jr.

Steve Blum

Plot:

A brave and clever ragtag starship crew stands up against the evil Empire as it tightens its grip on the galaxy and hunts down the last of the Jedi Knights.

Review:

This show was obviously not geared toward the twenty-eight year old female fan. Go figure.

It didn’t destroy my childhood, like I feared, but it definitely didn’t have anything I wanted to watch. It was very Disney, it ticked a lot of “Star Wars” boxes, and I thought it talked down to the kids.

Probably not going to watch anymore.

Starring:

Cristin Milioti

Henry Zebrowski

Plot:

Andrew and Zelda date for eight months, three weeks, five days, and one hour. This television program is the comprehensive account of their relationship.

Review:

Really liked the beginning of this episode, probably because of the Celine Dion song. The rest of the episode was fine but didn’t quiet reach that high for me. Of course the only reason I decided to watch was because of Cristin Milioti, so I went in with no expectations.

I’m interested to see how they do this time line, since they’ve already said exactly how long the relationship is going last. Or did they? There are clearly loop holes in the plot synopsis so we’ll see what happens.

Jake McDorman

Nicolas Wright

Plot:

The unfiltered internal monologues of a young man and a young woman are exposed as they begin a new relationship together.

Review:

Ok I was not expecting to like this show as much as I did. The man wasn’t too girly like you sometimes get in romantic comedies and I loved how slightly quirky the woman was. It was cute and I highly recommend.

4.5/5

Review:

Liked this pilot. It was like a mixture of Sherlock Holmes, a cop drama, and a pinch of some supernatural. It was interesting and I’m curious to see what happens next. Happy there’s a new episode tonight.

3.5/5
