The Flash premiered last week on The CW, and proved (to me) that it is possible to launch a comic book-related show with a solid foundation in a single episode.  Unlike the frustrations I’ve had so far with Gotham, everything about The Flash clicks together very easily, telling a full, coherent story in

September 27th, 2014 marked the end of an era: the CW aired the last saturday morning cartoons on broadcast television. Gone are the days of eating a giant bowl of Luck Charms while laughing at the antics of Bugs and Daffy for hours on end. What will the children of the future

And half of my top 10 favourite books are on this list of 12 Weird reasons for banning sci-fi books. (Though I think the author should re-educate themselves on the

Tim and Eric’s brand of humor is definitely an acquired taste.  Whether long form, like Tom Goes To The Mayor, or short-form, like the minute long skits of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job, the situations are always extremely bizarre and absurd.  Taking a turn at the horror genre, Tim and
