  • Writer Harlan Ellison has passed away in his sleep at the age of 84 and is survived by his wife. He was a great novelist who wrote many science-fiction novels and comic series.

  • One of the problems with Supergirl in its first two seasons was a compelling villain who can provide trouble to Supergirl both physically and mentally.

  • When I first opened up Facebook in 2012, I had a vision of using it to promote my acting career and other projects. Instead it turned too big when I ended up involving my family and friends outside of my acting career. Plus there were a couple of people whom I don’t know that tried… Read more

  • When Arrow’s 5th ended, it ended with one of the best cliffhangers when Vigilante Adrian Chase made his final shot against Oliver and Team Arrow thus leaving their fates uncertain.

They introduced the Thinker who uses… Read more

  • The entire third season comes to an end when Reign and the Priestesses plan to turn Earth into New Krypton.

As Kara and Alura regain their bond as mother and daughter, Lena and Alex discover that Sam’s cells are getting weaker since the split as they tried using the Sun to maximize her powers like… Read more

  • As expected, this episode immediately picked up where last week left off in that we have Supergirl and Mon-El battle against Reign while Lena Luthor has possession of the Black Kryptonite. Basically they’re trying to reverse the episode formula by having the fights taken care of first. We see that the Black Kryptonite has separated… Read more
