The Gotham team are spoiling us. Hot on the heels of the trailer introducing us to the world of Gotham and the murder of Bruce Wayne’s parents, comes this showcase of some of Gotham’s villains. It’s not a comprehensive list, missing even the brief glimpses of Edward Nygma (the Riddler) and Ivy Pepper (Poison Ivy) that we saw in the original trailer, but it’s an exciting look at three of the villains who look like they might be James Gordon’s biggest foes in Gotham’s first series.

The Gotham team are spoiling us. Hot on the heels of the trailer introducing us to the world of Gotham and the murder of Bruce Wayne’s parents, comes this showcase of some of Gotham’s villains.

And yet, here I am. Though I largely enjoy the titillation in the episodes of Orange is The New Black, especially because focusing energies on showcasing a spectrum of female orgasms is innovative and pleasing, a friend brought up a massive fact. In Season Two, there seems to be a lot more sex than Season One. As mentioned, it’s rather refreshing to see ladies get to it without the male gaze over sexualising it but at times through series two it becomes distracting and takes away from the story. None of that is more apparent than with Nicky and Big Boo’s “bang off.” Nevertheless, Orange Is The New Black is one of the more enjoyable series of recent years. by Gemma Williams Chasing Life is back and gives more than it gave in the pilot episode. This show is off to a really strong start as episode two builds upon my main grievance from last week: the supporting characters. To say the premise of this show is a young woman finding out about cancer, like with The Fault In Our Stars, this is not about cancer, but about April’s life. by Robbie Jones A year ago today, James Gandolfini died. It was a devastating event, one that left a large impact on the acting world. He is remembered highly for his film performances and so on, but nobody will ever forget his starring role in one of, if not THE greatest TV Show of all time, The Sopranos. by Robbie Jones Season Four may be over, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to stop having fun with our favourite Westerosians! (I thought it was Westerons - Ed.) Since it started in 2011, Game of Thrones has inspired oodles of merchandising, from video games to T-shirts, and to be honest, it’s all pretty awesome! I first encountered Casey Kasem as a guest star on an episode of Saved By the Bell. Of course, this wasn't my introduction to Mr Kasem, but my tiny child mind didn't equate the man on screen with one of my childhood heroes: Shaggy from Scooby Doo. And so it was with a heavy heart that I read this week of the death of that legendary voice. by Robbie Jones Are you anxious about waiting until next year before you can buy your DVD of Game of Thrones Season Four? Or are you a slow poke whose only just gotten to the next series? Well fear not, because as of today, Season Four of the epic fantasy series is available to download online! By Helen Langdon It’s been 22 years since Danger Mouse last exploded onto our screens (quite literally – who can forget all of the explosions DM had to escape from in the opening titles?), but you can’t keep a good super-spy rodent down. A new animated series has just been announced for 2015, airing on the CBBC channel. by Robbie Jones *sigh*...Game of Thrones has come to an end for another year. As horrible as that is, we must remember to be strong, and let the excellence of this season finale keep us going until the show returns in 2015. So, let’s recap the last episode of 2014.... By Helen Langdon When Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, there was probably not as much wailing as you might think. After all, nothing could be worse than Phantom Menace (don’t let us down, JJ!) and the House of Mouse have shown they’re pretty good at staying hands-off with their newly acquired properties, as seen with Marvel. But there’s one more glorious consequence of the merger, before we get the new animated series Star Wars: Rebels and Star Wars Episode VII (The one with Han’s broken ankle). The Phineas and Ferb Star Wars crossover episode has just been given the American airdate of July 26th. |
