One of the key things that makes a great season of The X-Files is a balance between myth-arc episodes and Monster of the Week episodes. In the seasons with a strong myth-arc, this results in a compelling story overall that provides plenty of variation in its storytelling. In a weaker season, it provides an opportunity to step away from the convoluted mythology and produce some outstanding hours of television. It’s that balance that kept the show a mainstream hit, popular with viewers tuning in when they had time as well as with dedicated fans who never missed an episode....

Titans Season 2 Episode 5 “Deathstroke” manages to be both an entertaining but incredibly frustrating episode that still moves the main plot forward – even though Conner Kent is still nowhere to be found. First up, Dick is not being a great leader. As foolish as Jason was to go after Dr. Light, Dick deserves some blame for being secretive with Robin and the rest of Titans 2.0. It is such a Bruce thing to do....

Considering that most of us watch TV to relax, it’s remarkable how many shows leave us adrenalin-flooded, with hearts beating like hummingbird wings. It’s TV characters’ fault; those guys never know when to stop. They’re always attempting a hostile takeover of the family firm, escaping a race of murderous cyborgs or trying to dismantle a totalitarian regime. It’s exhilarating but exhausting behaviour. And the better a drama is, the more invested we are in its characters, so the more we care when they put their life on the line....

Like the Doctor in the TARDIS, the new presenter of University Challenge know they have a hard act to follow, as Jeremy Paxman’s withering looks and razor-sharp question-mastery have become part of the show’s very identity.

Fingers on buzzers!...

Vikings Season 6 Episode 17 “Of course I do not trust them; they lie about everything.” While there’s little question it’s King Harald’s mission to conquer Wessex that garners the bulk of our attention in this episode, it’s the final gasp of Ubbe and the Greenland survivors that captures the indomitable spirit of the Vikings. During Vikings six year run, we’ve witnessed unspeakably horrific acts both on the battlefield and behind closed doors, but “The Raft of Medusa” demands we glimpse another dark side of the human condition that transcends the physical plane and puts on display the human cost of the desire for greatness....

Vikings Season 6 Episode 19 “We all have a duty to preserve the old ways.” Nearing the end of its six season run, the series penultimate episode “The Lord Giveth . . .” sets up a fascinating dynamic for the final chapter in Michael Hirst’s history based drama Vikings, but it’s the return of an old friend that brings an emotional close to an episode that otherwise finds warring sides in Wessex and Kattegat jockeying for position....

Better Call Saul ended its fantastic six-season run on Monday night in the most fitting way possible. There were no gunshots, there was no bloodshed, and there was no physical violence or gore. Instead, the show ended with a mesmerizing mix of flashback scenes and courtroom dramatics, harkening back to the program’s early seasons before the characters got so mixed in with the cartel. After Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) gets put in prison for an 86-year sentence, he gets a special visitor from his “lawyer....

Smith’s Clerks became the most unlikely of generational touchstones: a passion project that spoke to a specific moment of Gen-X apathy as well as the timeless ennui that comes with being in your 20s and not knowing what to do with your life. This minuscule, outside-the-mainstream indie broke out at the Sundance Film Festival, and the rest is ‘90s alt-culture history. This was the beginning of Smith’s View Askewinverse and a string of decade defining comedies—as well as an unlikely trilogy with Clerks spawning both Clerks II (2006) and now, finally, this fall’s upcoming Clerks III....

It’s easy to forget now in the aftermath of its historic success, but there was a time when the PlayStation 2’s notoriously complicated architecture made it a nightmare to work with.
