Iron Fist: Felling Tree With Roots

“Felling Tree with Roots” isn’t the most action packed episode of Iron Fist, but you could argue it’s a pivotal one. A lot of things change, and we learn about others. There were a lot of surprises that I did not see coming, and I like how they did the majority of the reveals. They…

Agents of SHIELD: No Regrets

  The Agents of SHIELD/Agents of Hydra’s adventures in the Framework continue in “No Regrets.” It’s really odd seeing the new dynamics among the various characters in these alternate lives. It almost makes up for the fact that we’re spending so much time in a giant video game. But, we do find out they don’t…

iZombie: Eat, Pray, Liv

  A lot of odd things happen on iZombie this week. Arguably, odder than normal, which says something in this world. I also want to strangle one of the characters by the end of the episode, but I’m getting ahead of things. There’s weird events and bad choices all over the place. The episode opens…

Agents of SHIELD: Identity and Change

The next part of the Agents of SHIELD’s adventures in the Framework continue in “Identity and Change.” It’s a dark world in there, and getting worse all the time. This is supposed to be Aida’s virtual paradise? This is one video game I don’t want to play, thanks. In Coulson’s classroom, he summarizes what’s happened…

Iron Fist: Under Leaf Pluck Lotus

“Under Leaf Pluck Lotus” starts off differently than the other episodes of Iron Fist so far. Three women with matching bags walk down the street in prefect step, finally separating at an intersection. These three are drug reps like you find in any big city, except that they are selling the new heroin we’ve been…

iZombie: Zombie Knows Best

  The new season continues, with sub-plots building and weird brain side-effects in full swing, in “Zombie Knows Best.” Unlike a lot of their usual episodes, this one has a lot of flashbacks in it, and focuses a lot more on Clive. I thought it worked well, and that’s even with me being sick of…

Agents of SHIELD: What If…

After a several week long break, the Agents of SHIELD return with “What If…” which is their foray into Dr. Radcliffe’s virtual reality known as The Framework. Most of the team has been captured and plugged in to the device, and now Daisy and Simmons are going in to try and find and free them.…

Iron Fist: Eight Diagram Dragon Palm

Netflix’s Iron Fist continues with “Eight Diagram Dragon Palm,” the fourth episode of Danny Rand’s adventures in New York. Last time, they ended with him plunging off the side of a skyscraper to his potential doom. He manages to catch himself on a protruding light after falling not terribly far. He breathes out a murmured,…

iZombie: Heaven Just Got A Little Bit Smoother

After a way too long break, iZombie finally returns. I don’t generally do recaps, but this has been such a long gap, I’ll make a partial exception. Among the many surprising events at the end of last season were: Clive learned about zombies; the Max Rager party ended in a massive zombie outbreak; Liv had…

Iron Fist: Rolling Thunder Cannon Punch

  Netflix’s Iron Fist continues the story of Danny’s return to New York. The episode titles all sound like various martial arts techniques you’d hear shouted out during some types of kung fu movies. This time around, it’s “Rolling Thunder Cannon Punch,” which doesn’t seem to relate to anything that happens this episode, or not…
