Heroes Reborn, Ep. 1.10, “11:53 to Odessa”
The fall finale has come and gone. There won’t be any more episodes until January. Heroes Reborn has left much of its cast scattered to the winds, trying to converge and save the world. Everyone has some of the answers to how to accomplish this; no one has all the answers. More

Saturday Night Live, Ep. 41.05, “Elizabeth Banks/Disclosure”
Wait a second, a host can be an integral part of the cast and not be an unfortunate fun-suck who robs the show of any potential to actually be funny? Man, how liberating. More

Heroes Reborn, Ep. 1.09, “Sundae, Bloody Sundae”
These Heroes Reborn reviews tend to divulge into just listing mistakes. Tired of reading a list of dumb mistakes your show makes, theoretical Heroes producer? Then stop making dumb mistakes for reviewers to pick up on. More

Saturday Night Live, Ep. 41.04, “Donald Trump/Sia”
SNL tries to have its cake and eat it too tonight and neither works at all. More

Heroes Reborn, Ep. 1.08, “June 13th – Part Two”
Betrayal is the wrong word. Betrayal presupposes a condition of trust. No one in their right mind would have trusted Heroes Reborn up to this point, so no one could technically have been betrayed by the events of “June 13th – Part Two”. More

Heroes Reborn, Ep. 1.07, “June 13th – Part One”
Seriously, what was gained by having us wait until episode seven to get to the primo drama that has been running the engine of this show? Sure, the series opened with Odessa exploding, but why force us to deal with all the tedium of grief boats and HRG running around in circles when the show has HARRIS BOMBS under its sleeves. Harris bombs! That’s so cool. More

Heroes Reborn, Ep. 1.06, “Game Over”
It would appear Heroes Reborn is only capable of improving in half-steps. “Game Over” is far and away the best episode since the premiere, but only half of the episode is responsible for the uptick in quality. It’s fascinating, really, to see the show move at such incredibly different paces across its stories. HRG is getting shit done, but Luke is buying a grief boat. More

Saturday Night Live, Ep. 41.03, “Tracy Morgan/Demi Lovato”
All Tracy Morgan had to do was stand up on stage and crack a few jokes. No had any right to expect Morgan to reach the kind of lunatic heights he did in his prime. But to watch Morgan come on SNL tonight, trot out all of his old staples from the show, and absolutely slay is one of the warmest, uplifting moments to air in the history of TV. More

Heroes Reborn, Ep. 1.05, “The Lion’s Den”
Nitpicking the plans of megalomaniacs is fun, but it’s mainly a distraction from having to engage directly with the material Heroes Reborn puts on-screen. More
-
Saturday Night Live, Ep. 41.02, “Amy Schumer/The Weeknd”
Amy Schumer is one of the most versatile, intelligent comedians of the most recent comedy boom, and probably the most deserving of the kind of national fame that she is amassing. Between her lights out sketch show on comedy central and writing and starring in one of the summer’s best movies, hosting SNL seemed like only a natural extension of Schumer staking her claim to all things funny.

Heroes Reborn, Ep. 1.04, “The Needs of the Many”
Heroes Reborn is a dumb show. It’s a dumb show full of cliches and paper-thin characters and every bad green screen effect NBC felt appropriate to budget. More
-
Saturday Night Live, Ep. 41.01, “Miley Cyrus”
Unless the ratings for this puppy are just gargantuan, Miley Cyrus isn’t going to be hosting anything again anytime soon. The whole point of SNL having a celebrity host is to draw in viewers who are fans of that host and see how they operate in the strange worlds the show’s writers create for them. So rarely does the show, though, push its host to the side, to the point where an argument can be made that Hillary Clinton acts as more of a host than Miley. More
