Frea had some issues with Amazon's new Jack Ryan - check out what she has to say

This year, I had the pleasure of attending SDCC with a Pro Badge (apparently writing novels that boil down to “Lois Lane becomes Supergirl” makes you topical for SDCC, who knew?). Since I sold my soul to SyFy for awesome lady characters and all they demanded in return was my summer Friday nights, I was happy to cover the Dark …

Hey, The Flash! Can we talk? I know it’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve seen each other and maybe I missed a recap, which is deeply sad because my favorite character dropped by, and it was kind of wonderful. I’m sorry about that, by the way. When you’re busy writing a superhero book and marketing it, sometimes things …

I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume that every single metaphor this show ever makes will involve running. I fall into the Ann Perkins school of beliefs on jogging, so this is going to be a hilarious show for me to recap. Luckily, I have a very pretty cast to enjoy every week for my running troubles. We …

I need to get this out of the way: screw you, writers. An episode actually called Sara should be like that old Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode where it’s Jonathan doing all the really cool stuff, and they made new credits and everything. Making that the episode title after you PUMPED ARROWS INTO HER GUT AND DUMPED HER ONTO A …

Holy Flash Sparks Batman! I am not going to get through this review without calling Barry a cutie, so I’ll just start with that. Barry Allen is a cutie-pie, and I mean that in every context possible. He’s like a very fast puppy, only we don’t have to panic when he runs into traffic. Anyway, we open with Barry joyfully …

I am an absolute sucker for a) atmospheric shows and b) superheroes, and Gotham seemed to fit the ticket for both. Before I get deep into this world, a disclaimer: I haven’t read the source material, but like the Fake Geek Girl ™ that I am, I read a bunch of angry internet comments. Grumpy fans are surprisingly good at …

For those of you who aren’t familiar, the Bechdel Test (named for Alison Bechdel, its creator) is a simple test for Hollywood. To pass, a film or TV show must have: Two named ladies That speak to each other About something other than a man That’s it. That’s all you have to do to pass. People criticize this test, claiming …

If last week was the week of Roy Harper, this week he doesn’t seem to exist. And I find the episode that much better. I am not sure the two are related. (Spoiler: they totally are) We open in an airport. A woman is trying to make it through customs. I know she’s evil the second she winks at a …

It is the week of Roy Harper, guys! For those of you who don’t know, Roy Harper/Speedy is the Red Arrow, Green Arrow’s sidekick (as far as I can tell; I’m a Marvel girl. Literally: Captain Marvel owns my soul in her awesomely warm Kree fingers). So really, this was fate, except that on the show, Thea’s nickname is Speedy, …
