Howard Stark returns in this week’s Agent Carter, where not only are his and Jarvis’ true intentions revealed, but the men of the Strategic Scientific Reserve edge ever closer to discovering the mystery behind Leviathan, and Peggy’s own secret. Throw in a surprising new addition to the fray, and finally exploring the fallout from Captain America: The First Avenger, and The Blitzkrieg Button ends up as exciting a mid-point as it is possible to have.

Howard Stark returns in this week’s Agent Carter, where not only are his and Jarvis’ true intentions revealed, but the men of the Strategic Scientific Reserve edge ever closer to discovering the mystery behind Leviathan, and Peggy’s own secret. Throw in a surprising new addition to the fray, and finally exploring the fallout from Captain America: The First Avenger, and The Blitzkrieg Button ends up as exciting a mid-point as it is possible to have. by Jo Johnstone Seeing as the Im With Geek family are so excited for the release of Aardman's Shaun the Sheep Movie, it seemed appropriate to use this month's Movies In Motion to drool over another of the studios claymation creations. Last year, with the aid of a kickstarter campaign, audiences saw the return of an icon. Aardman Animation, not content with making just award winning films, have resurrected a studio favourite with their lovable and mischievous clay man Morph. by Catherine Wignall The continuing problems with Crowley and Castiel’s tangential positioning to the plot has been weighing the show down recently, so it’s both a relief and a breath of fresh air to spend an entire episode with Charlie. When last we saw Charlie she was disappearing down the yellow brick road with Dorothy and it was unclear when we’d next be seeing her (though her position as a fan favourite guaranteed we would see her again). Now she’s back from Oz, but she’s brought someone with her and she looks just like the Charlie we know and love. by Leah Stone Last week’s episode brought many questions of controversy that sparked lots of debate. The episode also sparked plenty of emotions revolving around the trial of Joe Miller and the return to the Sandbrook Case. by Cookie N Screen Throwing punches at Gotham is a little like kicking a bad and limping dog; you’ve already screamed and shouted about its uselessness, any other insults just fill you with guilt. You begin to pity it, like some pathetic thing that cannot get over its own problems, chasing after its own rabid tail and ending up in more pain. You want to throw it a scrap of meat but it just makes the same mistakes constantly so you ended up searching for thin comments of praise to shower it with, patting its back carefully in case it bites you instead. So can Welcome Back, Jim Gordon stop chasing the same plot points and messages around? Well, the costumes are great. by Gemma Williams The finale of Galavant is here with new songs, cameos and lots of drama. It's been a relatively short season, with only eight episodes, but a lot happened in the space of those four hours. While Galavant and his friends are all trapped in prison, they look for ways to escape and question each other’s’ characters. King Richard is having family issues and Madalena has her own agenda. Chef’s relationship is moving forward, but the real question is whether or not he can keep his head long enough to enjoy it. by Ben Mapp The Netflix exclusive series Marvel's AKA Jessica Jones, which stars Breaking Bad's Krysten Ritter in the titular role alongside Mike Colter as Luke Cage, has received another popular cast member today! David Tennant, known more recently for his work on ITV's crime thriller Broadchurch, will be playing the role of antagonist Zebediah 'The Purple Man' Killgrave. by Graham Osborne Things are growing dark for Constantine, both in the series and the real world. Last week saw the lowest ratings since episode two, further hinting at the show getting canned after its initial run. Fortunately for us, until then, the show will continue airing and we can watch more of our favourite magician and his cadre of friends. by Robbie Jones When we’re not watching the gripping adventures of Carrie, Brody, Saul and Quinn, we’re forced to sit through the menial lives of Brody’s family. Jessica is the struggling wife who we sympathise with, and Dana has had her fair share of drama over the first three seasons. But there was just one character who never got a look in.... and for good reason too. by Hayley Charlesworth Russell T Davies returned to television in triumphant form last night with the debut of interconnected series Cucumber (on Channel 4), Banana (on E4), and Tofu (on 4OD, made by Benjamin Cook). Returning to the theme of his breakout hit, Queer as Folk, Davies’ shows explore the lives of gay men in Manchester, but from different age perspectives than those found in his previous show. Confident, unapologetic, and crucially very funny, it is assured a debut. |
