Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. was a brilliant idea. The recipe practically screamed success. But as the show progressed, it turned out to be a disappointment. One of the biggest reasons is the way the character of Skye is such an annoying Mary Sue.

Rick and Morty is one of the most hilarious things I’ve seen in a while. And it isn't just a show for sci-fi fans; fans of science will love it, too.

This is where we have come as a society, to the point where even a TV series which is too silly and over-edited to be called a documentary can dominate our national dialog and have us foaming at the mouth, rabid and raring for a fight.

Ever since television first entered Americans’ living rooms, people have been debating what effect it has had on our everyday lives. From controversies surrounding television violence to the effect of advertising on children, the debate around television’s influence has been raging for decades. With the current popularity of reality TV, …

James Avery will probably be remembered most for his role as Uncle Phil from 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air,' and rightly so. But while his was the voice of assurance and wisdom for most, it is for me the voice of the villain also. It is the voice of the bad guy, the voice of Shredder.

I have no sympathy for Phil Robertson regarding the public backlash following his homophobic remarks. My sympathy goes to those who will potentially be hurt by all this and let me tell you, it ain't Robertson who, if anything, may very well profit from the publicity of this controversy more than he is hurt by it.

No matter how hard life gets there are always reasons to live, and at Pop Mythology we find that pop culture alone gives us more than enough reasons to endure. And so with 2014 coming on fast, here is our list of the stuff we anticipate most.

First it was vampires. Then it was zombies. Now we're under another spell: witches. But what's behind all this recent voodoo over witches? Well, I'm a witch myself (yes, really) and in this post, I'll share my theory.

Flaws aside, “Too Far Gone” was a great TWD episode. It struck a balance of action, plot, and character development, and—unlike with the midseason finales of Seasons 2 and 3—there’s really no predicting where the second half of Season 4 will pick up. The wait for the next episode will not be an easy one.

TV series like "The Fall" and "Game of Thrones" obviously aren't completely realistic. Nevertheless, they aim for a daring grittiness and realism that series that audiences seem to be eating up.

What is it about this character from "The Walking Dead," Daryl Dixon, that compels us so? Here, I try to break down the essence of Daryl’s phenomenal appeal into eight basic qualities which, when combined, inspire furious viewer loyalty.

'Ja'mie: Private School Girl' has hope if, beyond the premiere episode, Chris Lilley can weave in characters who offset the character of Ja’mie, challenge her and hopefully humble her. But should Ja'mie be allowed to run rampant, the show may not be as likely to succeed.

'Breaking Bad' effectively stretches America’s “pull yourself up by your own bootstraps” mentality to its snapping point. It satirizes America’s private insurance health care system and demonstrates the price Americans must pay to continue living.

Buffy is one of the best examples of women in power, in this writer’s opinion, because Buffy isn’t a muscular, marine operative. She’s a high school sophomore.
