GOTHAM IS EXHAUSTED

Last Week's episode titled "The Sinking Ship The Grand Applause" was the height of it all. It's just as if Gotham has no idea what to do with its characters anymore. They have reached Peak-Penguin: no more awesome ploys for him to craft. They have reached Peak-Riddler: who is certainly not smart enough anymore. They have reached Peak-Gordon and they have absolutely no idea who Bruce Wayne is anymore. One episode he is a "douchebag" who fires Alfred Pennyworth and the next episode he is Clark Kent, who is cool and willing to help and hires Alfred back. Without any major withdrawal. If he was on drugs, it wasn't shown on screen. He just decides to be bad in one episode and good in another. If our Batman to be is this indecisive, then expect a Gotham that celebrates Crime Day on a monthly basis.
They have reached Peak-Selina Kyle. Since when does Catwoman become so sweet? Must we like every villain because you don't know what else to do with them.
They reached Peak-Joker or Peak-Cameron Monaghan. They also reached Peak-Barbara Keen last week 'by giving her seizures? Memories? Hallucinations? Visions? of Ra's Al Ghul.

Speaking of Ra's, come on, the rest of the season is better off without him. I have come to realize the problem is not with the portrayal of the character. It's with the actor.
Seeing his face last week made me realize for the first time Alexander Siddig is a terrible choice for Ra's.
Season Four suffers from the same problem Season One was publicized to have: Not being able to decide who the main character is. Gordon or Bruce Wayne.
Which is just one out of the numerous reasons this season looks like it's just shooting to fulfil a 22 episode contract. This season's villain is unarguably the worst ever. Just look at that face.



Every episode, Sofia Falcone does one thing and one thing only: try to be a villain. And last week's dreary episode unceremoniously killed her off(nice shot, Lee).
Oh, I rejoiced. Only to scream "WTF" when Bullock quipped that she was in a coma. AFTER BEING SHOT IN THE GUT AND IN THE HEAD. Like WTF?
My bosses at The Hollywood Reporter called it "Gotham's favorite twist." I called it the most stupid thing they've ever done. Blatant ignorance and incompetence. Can't you see that the character has no chemistry with any other character on screen? Leh me guess, she'll return with superpowers right? Not to worry Gotham, you can't surprise me anymore. I've stick with this show for 4 seasons. I won't stop now. You shouldn't too. Because it seems like you've run the past two seasons like it's your last. Fox should have cancelled you in your first season, they didn't. I see no reasons why they should now. Keep it coming. And please, give Tabitha Galavan a purpose on this show or just kill her off. But you'll just bring her from the dead(again) so never mind.

The Aquaman Experience

Image
The name Aquaman means different things to different people. To some people, it's one of the new December movies they should go see with their family. To some, it's the type of movie they should see because they don't do Nollywood. To people like me, it's the movie we hope we have been waiting for – the movie that saves the DC Cinematic Universe. The first two batch possibly don't even know what the last batch is talking about– they just wanna see a movie. But guess what? Aquaman makes the grade of all– of everyone who sat in the dark room staring at the giant screen with different expectations, Aquaman delivered. From the director of "Furious 7" and "The Conjuring" franchise comes ANOTHER superhero movie following a long list of other major tentpoles that have destroyed box office records and the hearts of movie-goers in a good way. But Aquaman seeks to standout and it does because who knows Aquaman? "Batman, we know. Superman,

NBC's Timeless, DC's Legends Of Tomorrow: Two sides Of The Same Coin... for now.

Image
The time team on both shows are immensely committed to preserving history. While Legends have done that using different plotlines each season, our friends on Timeless have been chasing an evil organization called Rittenhouse, that is bent on turning history in their favour. That summarizes the plan of every Legends' big bad. With time travel shows, having intertwined plotline shouldn't raise eyebrows. Both shows have meddled with past presidents' younger selves, history shapers and also music legends. The newest episode of Timeless(S02E06) titled "The King of Delta Blues" definitely made Legends fans nostalgic(sort of.) Rittenhouse travelled back in time to San Antonio, 1936, to stop Robert Johnson and Don Law from recording an album and the team wants to make sure the album is made. Robert Johnson is the King of Delta Blues and Father of Rock 'n' Roll. Not recording that album means there is no modern blues music, "no rock n roll, none of y

The Great War: A Game Of Thrones Story

"Fall back!" Jon yelled. "Forget them, capture the White Walker." Brienne sheathed her sword and took hold of the d ragonglass lurcher that has been dangling on her back. She arranged the metal atop the wood the way Gendry had taught them. The White Walker was coming for her. Why Me? The White Walker moved towards her still, advancing; leaving a trail of dead men in his wake. She hadn't used the l urcher today... she loathes the sound it makes when fired; she couldn't afford going deaf for any period of time in the middle of a battle. Jon had earlier exhausted his on the wights. The way he used them, sometimes, she thought he enjoyed it. But the White Walker kept coming for her... and she fired. She saw the moulded glass bore a hole in his chest. Then he stopped and slouched. "It didn't work." She tried to yell above the clanging of swords and shouts of fighting men, "It doesn't work on them." The White

Three Shows That Shouldn't Be Cancelled.

Image
In the past week, it was bloodshed on the small screen as both Cable and Network broadcasters decided which shows they will be bringing back for the 2018/2019 season. You can find the cancelled list of shows  here Some shows are still hanging on a thread but there are three special(sort of) cases that shouldn't be given the red card. The thing is, the studios are holding back these announcements because these shows are wrapping up their 2017/2018 seasons and they want the finale ratings to roll in for cconsideration. And also, to find a way to easily drop the announcements without massive outrage. Actually, there is no easy way to tell me my favorite show has been cancelled. Timeless Timeless got cancelled after its first season last year and fans were enraged. A protest began on social media and the fans probably took to the streets too. In less than two days, NBC was forced to renew it for a second season which is the incredibly massive season we are all enjoying t
