John Stewart’s first Green Lantern training exercise goes wrong in an almost embarrassing way.

The title “Murder Hornets” initially sounds like the kind of aggressive nickname Lioness might choose simply to match the violence of Season 3 Episode 4.

The nightclub operation that follows can be confusing because the episode moves quickly from Joe’s briefing into undercover conversations without repeatedly explaining what everyone is trying to accomplish.…

Lioness Season 3 Episode 4 finally catches the story up to the terrifying flash-forward that has haunted the season from the beginning.

“The Walking Dead: Dead City” Season 3 Episode 5 gives Maggie and Negan some of their warmest scenes together, but it still does not confirm that the two are becoming a romantic couple. “Imperialis” moves their relationship noticeably beyond reluctant cooperation, particularly when they celebrate together at Dillard’s bar and have an unusually personal conversation…
“The Walking Dead: Dead City” Season 3 Episode 5, “Imperialis,” spends most of its runtime showing Maggie, Negan and Renata proving that their struggling Manhattan community might actually work, only to end by exposing the disagreement that could tear it apart.
