To me this episode of Smallville was a bit bizarre. The story was that Oliver Queen had been poisoned and only had twelve hours to live so Clark and all his buddies had to find out what was wrong with him and find an antidote.
It brought up …

Finally, just when you didn’t think it would actually be possible, the first season improves with “Destroy Malevolence”, the third and final part to the ‘Malevolence’ plot-related episodes (preceded by “Rising Malevolence” and “Shadow of Malevolence”). In this episode, General Grevious kidnaps Padme Amidala and C-3PO, leaving it up …

This episode picks up where the season finale left off…sort of. It isn’t told in chronological order, rather it’s shuffled up. The differences were so drastic that I was convinced that they were introducing a multiverse, with one being real and the other taking place in …

The Virginian: West was a little odd in some ways, at least, for me. Then again, I’m not a huge fan of this TV series anyway. Doug McClure’s colorful and lighthearted character of Trampas was at the center of this 90-minute episode. For some reason I …
