Episode Title: Episode 2
Original Airdate: 9-1-15

Back again for another Webseries Wednesday, and there’s another brand new episode of CW’s Vixen over on CW Seed. Once again, there’s no embedding so if you’re interested in watching the five minute episode 2 go ahead and click the link below. Last episode brought up a lot of questions about Vixen, a character that I knew nothing about and I still know very little about. This episode answered only a couple of those questions while still leaving much on the table for future episodes, it also introduced what’s likely to be the villain of the season even though all we get to see of her is a mouth.

Episode Title: So Close, Yet So Far
Original Airdate: 8-30-15

After witnessing the undead Cal in action, Travis, Madison and Nick realize something terrible is starting in L.A. They decide to pack up and head out of town until everything blows over (ha!). They must split up when Travis goes to his ex-wife’s house looking for his son, Chris. Chris was on his way home on the bus when all traffic stopped because the police shot a homeless man in the street. A crowd begins to gather in protest and Chris, filming the incident, refuses to leave when Travis gets him on the phone. Travis and his ex-wife, Liza, go to get Chris from the crime scene and realize how dangerous things are really becoming. Blocked by police and surrounded by rioters and a few Walkers, the trio find refuge in a barber shop with the owner and his family. Everyone hopes things will calm down enough to leave, but things only seem to go from bad to worse as the night progresses.

The Walking Dead Season 2

At the time of its original airing, I really liked Season 2 of The Walking Dead. I rebuffed all the haters who complained on a weekly basis that the time on the Farm was dragging out and the Group needed to move on. I was convinced that the writers were keeping the Group there to really build the characters for us and it was easier to do so if everyone stayed put for awhile instead of giving us action-packed episodes full of Walker killing. I was wrong.

Episode Title: Fine Feathered Finks
Original Airdate: January 19, 1966

When I used to watch Batman as a kid, I was always anxious to find out what villain would be featured on today’s episode. After only a few seconds of this episode it becomes very obvious who our villain is. For, you see, the story opens with a group of people being given free umbrellas. Who else could it be but Burgess Meredith making his debut as that waddling criminal the Penguin in Fine Feathered Finks. Continue reading Batman S:01 E:03

Episode title: Some Assembly Required

Original air date: September 22, 1997

“Well, ‘body’ would mean flesh-eating demon. ‘No body’ points more toward the ‘army of zombie’ thing. Take your pick.” – Buffy

An interesting this week as not only does it give us a play on “Frankenstein” but also an episode which it could be argued is lead more by its villains than any member of the Scoobie gang as Buffy has to deal with a case of bodysnatching when she discovers an open grave while on patrol.

Episode title: Episode 1
Original Airdate: 8-25-15

Welcome to a spin-off of what I’ve been doing lately here on Wednesdays where I feature an episode of a webseries that you can watch right now along with a conversation with the creator. This time around I’m featuring an episode of a brand new studio-driven webseries that ties in with the CW’s Flash and Arrow called Vixen that’s being promoted on their CW Seed site and app. The promising thing about this series is that the protagonist of this series is a Black woman, something that is sorely lacking these days in superhero television or cinema. I don’t know anything about this character’s background so I’m coming at this from a completely clean slate. Also, the CW Seed doesn’t appear to allow embedding so you will have to follow a link to watch the episode as I will not be embedding any pirated versions of this show that may have found their way to YouTube or some other hosting site.

Episode Title:  Captive Hearts

Original Airdate:  01-30-1993

We have seen The X-Men battle the likes of Magneto and Sabretooth, but in this episode. We get to see two of these great heroes battle a foe that will be the demise of them both.  The love of another woman.  In particular I’m speaking about Wolverine and Cyclops and their love for Jean Grey.  Not that I blame them, I too have a fondness for redheads as well.  I’ll get into that love triangle a little later as well as talk about the joys and pain of one of the members being used as a sex slave.  But let’s get to the meat of this episode, shall we.

Episode Title: Pilot
Original Airdate: 8-23-15

Now that you have had your retro dose of The Walking Dead with my thoughts on the Season 2 finale this morning, let’s get into the pilot for its spin-off, Fear the Walking Dead.

The show opens with Nick Clark waking in an abandoned church after an assumed night of heavy drug use. As he’s looking for his lady friend, Gloria, he comes across a dead body with the throat ripped out. There are other signs of carnage all around. Nick then comes across Gloria, eating the remains of another dead body until she starts coming toward him. He escapes to the outside world, only to be hit by a car on a busy L.A. street, where there are no signs of a zombie apocalypse occurring.

The episode opens in Atlanta, as various Walkers are feasting on whatever they can find. Suddenly a helicopter flies by, attracting their attention. They begin to migrate in a herd, until they are in the woods surrounding the Farm. Carl’s gunfire, putting down Walker Shane, draws the herd closer…and the Farm is overrun. But not without a fight.
