Of course you might be a little busy to watch over 900 episodes to find those gems, so here’s a sampling to get you started. It should be noted this is not a “best episodes” list nor is it an “essential viewing guide.” This is just a smattering of episodes that can show you what Power Rangers is, what it can be, and gave you some idea whether you want to dive deeper....
Anyone who knows me, or has had the misfortune of being cornered by me at a party in the last year, knows that I was not the biggest fan of The Punisher Season 1. It wasted a completely competent origin story gifted to it by Daredevil that ended with Frank Castle suiting up in all his trench coat and skull-vest glory, just to essentially repilot in episode one and have him literally throw it all away in a trash can fire before the opening credits....
Still, the mythology around him only grew. So much so that when Mario Puzo wrote The Godfather in 1969, he had fictional Don Vito Corleone say he “held the Capones in small esteem as stupid, obvious cutthroats” who forfeited whatever political influence they may have amassed in their violent rise to prominence by the “flaunting of his criminal wealth.” But the novel gets a few things wrong. For one, it claims Capone was an associate of Salvatore Maranzano....
In The Rings of Power episode 7, Galadriel finally brought up the issue of her husband Celeborn. She told Theo that Celeborn went off to war against Morgoth and never came back, and she seems to believe that he is dead. Anyone who has read or watched The Lord of the Rings, of course, knows that is not true! So where is he? In Unfinished Tales, Christopher Tolkien – who spent much of his career collecting and editing his father’s various notes and drafts – said, “There is no part of the history of Middle-earth more full of problems than the story of Galadriel and Celeborn....
The Simpsons Season 34 Episode 7 Homer Simpson isn’t the best dad on TV. He has a passing resemblance to the most representational, and he’s learning. The Simpsons gives him the chance to pass on his accumulated wisdom in “From Beer to Paternity,” but it gets there anyway. The basic story is about Duffman, who is losing an election to retain his title as Duff Beer’s sudsiest representative, while trying to win back his estranged daughter, Amber....
WHO IS PEACEMAKER? He’s The Comedian. Seriously, Peacemaker was the character Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons based The Comedian on in Watchmen. He was one of the Charlton characters purchased by DC in the ‘80s, introduced to the DC Universe post-Crisis on Infinite Earths. He was originally created in the mid ‘60s in a backup strip with Fightin 5, and never really made that much of an impression. But even though he wouldn’t have the impact that his Watchmen analogue would, he sill managed to make some waves in the DCU proper....
The Terror Episode 10 The Terror can’t quite stick the landing in its season finale, opting for an hour heavy with action and gore rather than a more thoughtful conclusion to this tale of survival. That said, even the weakest moments of this series have been a true delight and “We Are Gone” is far from a bust. One of my main issues with the episode is that it rushes through the fate of the remaining crew, choosing to leave Lt....
The Time Traveler’s Wife Episode 1 Review The Time Traveler’s Wife, HBO’s new miniseries adaptation based on Audrey Niffenegger’s novel of the same name, is taking full advantage of the extended time serialized television offers in regards to telling a story involving multiple timelines. The opening episode assumes viewers have not read the novel or seen the previous movie adaptation, but it makes the jumps in time easier to follow if you have the background of either or both....
The energetic actor, movie star, and meme muse is coming off one of the most lauded performances of his career in Michael Sarnoski’s Pig. He’s by all appearances a healthy and thriving 58-year-old man with nothing but sunny days to look forward to. And yet, his latest and most distinctly Cage-ian film, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, operates as a sort of midpoint career eulogy. This ambitious action-comedy, which just debuted at SXSW, casts Nicolas Cage in his boldest role yet: himself....
But it didn’t take long for other filmmakers to step back and take a closer look at vampiric mythology, seeing a way to at once commercially exploit the public’s hunger for vampire movies while screwing with the legend… The Vampire Bat (1933) From the outside, everything about Frank Strayer’s low-budget film screamed “horror movie” and “Dracula knockoff.” the title was a gimme, as was the story, which concerned a string of mysterious deaths in a small German village, each of the victims having been drained of blood through two small puncture wounds on the neck....
The world of The Walking Dead is expanding its scope with the upcoming spinoff The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. The new series will not only see Norman Reedus go off on his own adventure, it’ll also break away from the franchise formula in terms of its setting. You see, this highly-anticipated spinoff will actually take place in France, showcasing a different side of the apocalyptic world we’ve been watching for over a decade, according to Deadline....
The Walking Dead and loathed cliffhangers: name a more iconic combination! The first third of The Walking Dead’s 11th and final season came to a conclusion Sunday night though calling it an “ending” is a bit generous. The closing moments of “For Blood” find two of the show’s most prominent characters, Maggie and Negan, directly in the line of fire of a pretty fearsome weapon. As far as cliffhangers go, this isn’t nearly as brutal as Glenn and his magic dumpster or Negan’s lethal lineup that concluded season 6, but it sure is intense all the same....
Simply put: things at the idyllic Commonwealth settlement might not be as jolly as they seem. Check out the trailer below to see what we mean! Say what you will about The Walking Dead but its official trailers usually deliver the goods. This is a surprisingly rich two-minute text that teases the conflict to come. A big portion of this trailer is devoted to the first contact between the two remaining major societies in the mid-Atlantic region of North America....
The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 1 Anyone hoping for an incredibly bloody hour of murder and mutilation the likes of which we’d never seen before on The Walking Dead should be pretty pleased with the season 7 premiere, “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be.” I’m actually surprised that there wasn’t a quick flashback to poor old Dr. Jenner during Rick’s meditation on top of that RV. Speaking of the RV, Andrew Lincoln’s (Rick) early scenes with Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) are excellent....
The Seventh Queen by Greta Kelly Type: NovelPublisher: Harper VoyagerRelease date: Nov. 2Den of Geek says: This buzzy fantasy sequel is popular for a reason. Critics and readers praise the “gripping” story and female characters in the series, which started with The Frozen Crown. Publisher’s summary: The Empire of Vishir has lost its ruler, and the fight to save Seravesh from the Roven Empire is looking bleak. Moreover, Askia has been captured by power-hungry Emperor Radovan, who plans on making her his wife simply so he can take her magic as his own, killing her in the process....

We’ve collected up all the festive TV specials airing in the UK over Christmas 2020, so you can start mentally circling the ones in your personal schedule. It being early, there are still announcements to be made, so check back here for updates....
An emerging auteur who doesn’t like to play coy about his favorites, Jordan Peele is a director who likes to wear his influences on his sleeve. After all, he’s rebooting The Twilight Zone and did Us junket interviews while dressed as Jack Nicholson’s Jack Torrance from The Shining. His first feature Get Out was heavily influenced by Roman Polanski’s creeping paranoia in Rosemary’s Baby and the pointed social commentary reveled in by Bryan Forbes and William Goldman’s The Stepford Wives, hence Us choosing to increase the breadth of inspirations to match the picture’s even more ambitious scope....
Glass is one of those V Rising items that you may not realize you need until later in the game. At that point, you may have quite a few questions about how to make glass and what to do with it. Actually, given how relatively rare the material is, you’ll probably just wonder how you can start farming it as soon as possible. With that in mind, let’s take a look at what glass does in V Rising and how to get your hands on as much of it as possible as quickly as possible....
Vikings Season 5 Episode 8 One thing’s for sure, Michael Hirst holds nothing back as the long awaited civil war finally begins, and though Lagertha may have won the first round, Ivar and Harald will most certainly not go away quietly. Throughout its five-year run, Vikings has consistently staged epic battle scenes, both large and small, but “The Joke” presents a visceral experience so engrossing that it’s difficult to resist the urge to look away....
Vikings Season 6 Episode 11 “The man who could not die is buried here.” It’s been nearly eleven months since Vikings closed out the first half of its sixth and final season, but the Michael Hirst historical drama wastes no time seamlessly dropping viewers smack in the middle of the Rus effort to overtake Norway and further Prince Oleg’s ruthless power grab. Nevertheless, for a series that has often faced unrealistic fan expectations, there’s no way to ignore the realization that with the death of Lagertha, Vikings has finally become, for better or worse, the story of the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok....
