The Flash Recap Season 2 Episode 3 "Family of Rogues"

The writers on The CW’sThe Flashapparently have a lot of parental issues to work out, so I truly hope that this episode was quite cathartic for them. The tone of “Family of Rogues” alternated, wildly at times, between very silly comic book capers and heartbreaking stories of domestic violence, drug addiction, and abandonment.

The Real Reason 'The Simpsons' Cut One of Its Most Controversial Characters

Over the course of its long, long run,The Simpsonshas seena number of characters say goodbye to Springfield: Maude Flanders, Edna Krabappel, Bleeding Gums Murphy, Herb Powell, and so on. For most, the characters no longer appear on the show because of an actor’s death (characters Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure were key supporting charactersup until the death of their “voice,“Phil Hartman) or simply haven’t been brought back (likeDanny Devito’s character, Homer’s half-brother Herb Powell, who hasn’t appeared in years, but for no apparent reason other than there’s been no story,apart from the Season 36 premiere, that brings him back)....

This Overlooked Coen Brothers Black Comedy Boldly Examined a Deeply Taboo Topic

The Coen Brothershave no shame in gut-punching audiences with sharp dismantling of characters or rude short-changing of narrative expectations, in ways that feel like a cinematic middle finger. While not an entirely unearned reputation, it willingly ignores the tender empathy the duo can extend to even the most audaciously unlikable of their characters, perhaps none more impervious than Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) inInside Llewyn Davis. On first watch, Llewyn Davis seems like miserable company, but on closer inspection, his story is a tough-love hug for someoneclearly struggling with deep clinical depression that he has no way of confronting....
