Living For The Future

February 2015

  • The episode introduces Grand Moff Tarkin from the first Star Wars movie. He comes in to show Inquisitor, Agent Kallus, and other Imperials stationed on Lothal their failures and improving their performances. The first two to suffer that are Agent Laresko and his brute strongman, Grint. They were the Laurel and Hardy, but were extraneous… Read more

  • In the second part of the storyarc involving Jonathan Crane’s father, we see the birth of Jonathan Crane becoming the scarecrow when he was doused with the fear toxins and the Scarecrow at the end was like a foreshadowing nod or just a tease that they have to pay off. I never liked teases that… Read more

  • The buildup to Lockdown was pretty sloppy because it was only hyped a week before the event instead of being hyped and promoted since airing on Destination America. It seems TNA is putting all their energies into Impact than anything else and they feel the PPV’s are not doing well in business. As this airs,… Read more

  • Uprising is the third part of the trilogy involving the villain named Brick and the fight for the Glades. Without Oliver, the rest of Team Arrow have no choice but to team-up with Malcolm Merlyn and the rest of the Glades to fight against Brick and his group. It was nice to see Sin back.… Read more

  • The episode picks up where the last episode left off because of the Pied Piper Hartley Rathaway, who was in Star Labs’ meta prison. I don’t know why he was kept in there when he doesn’t have powers. Cisqo ends up releasing him against his better judgment because he wants to know the truth about… Read more

  • As Ezra continues with his Jedi training such as deflecting blaster shots so that it can hit a target, he experiences visions through the Force. The interesting thing here is that we never saw how the Jedi experience the visions in the movies and here was the first time they show it. While Kanan and… Read more

  • Picking up where last episode left off, Selina Kyle tells Jim Gordon what she told Bruce Wayne as Gordon catches her in his apartment. However, she ends up jumping down heights like a future Catwoman would. This causes Gordon to go Wayne Manor, where Bruce is disappointed in Gordon’s lack of progress and telling him… Read more

  • If there was an Impact that hit all cylinders, it’s this week’s Impact as it was a well-balanced mixture of storylines, characters, and wrestling action. Last week was the start of it with Feast or Fired, this week knocked it out of the park. The hook of this Impact was Bobby Roode giving Bobby Lashley… Read more

  • Justice League: Throne of Atlantis is the sequel to Justice League: War based on the new 52. It features Aquaman and the reason they did this storyline is because of the end credits scene. This is something I wish DC and WB didn’t do just because Marvel does it in their films. The story is… Read more
