“I still don’t understand why you’re in charge.” “Basically it’s the eyebrows.” An intergalactic bank robbery, erased memories, and a brain-melting alien: Doctor Who held no bars on the excitement level this week as the Doctor and Clara found themselves criminals in a life-threatening situation—with no recollection of how they […]
Nerdophiles Catch Up With… Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Just out of plain life circumstances and laziness, I never got around to recapping the season one finale of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, which was titled ‘Beginning of the End.’ It was a solid three star finale. Not my favorite episode ever, but it still delivered lots of great moments. […]
Outlander: The Wedding Recap
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKJ2SvpRu3M] Outlander: The Wedding (1×07) Synopsis: Claire and Jamie get married! Rating: ★★★★☆ For lack of a better description, this week’s episode was most definitely not safe for work. As we found out last week, Claire must be a legitimate Scottish woman in order to escape the clutches of the sadistic Black Jack and […]
Z Nation: Sy-Fy’s Interpretation of the Zombie Apocalypse
The Walking Dead is the zombie television show litmus test, but it’s Extra Super Serious and it doesn’t want you to ever forget: Sy-Fy and Z Nation, on the other hand, would like you to put a little bit of kick-ass back into your apocalypse plans. Set three years after the start […]
High Moon is Science Fiction at its best
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLN23-D4By8] Synopsis: Marty finds himself on quite the adventure when, after being sentenced to time helping colonize the moon, he finds a flower. Rating: ★★★★☆ High Moon is a trip and a half. If you like science fiction, you won’t be disappointed. Even if you’re not a huge fan of the […]
Doctor Who: Listen Recap
“Why do we talk out loud when we’re alone? Because we know we’re not.” In the same vein as 2007’s “Blink” and season 7’s “Hide,” “Listen” capitalizes on one of every child’s greatest fears: what’s hiding under the bed. It’s in suspense plots like this week’s that Moffat excels, and […]
Outlander: The Garrison Commander Recap
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCYyWlsZjbU] Outlander: The Garrison Commander (1×06) Synopsis: Claire and Dougal are taken to The Garrison. Claire meets Brigadier General Lord Thomas. She is also reunited with Black Jack Randall as he questions her intentions. Rating: ★★★☆☆ Oh, sweet, sweet Tobias Menzies. I remember when you were merely Edmure Tully, the foolish flopping trout of Riverrun. […]
Doctor Who: Robot of Sherwood Recap
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNU4gP-nGVk] The Doctor and Clara dove into 12th century England this week to battle aliens alongside none other than Sherwood Forest’s most famous thief. “Robot of Sherwood” makes a brief departure from the “darker” Doctor we’ve been introduced to and shows a whimsy (even if more campy) side of […]
Utopia Premier: End Of The Trilogy
Tonight was the last of the premier episodes for Utopia. As the previous shows told us, it was more dramatic tonight than any other. There were fights, tears, and kitchen appliances. New utopians came in, and one left. It was a good episode to tide us over till Tuesday….or until […]
Teen Wolf: The Broken Spell Recap [Season Finale]
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14qhs-hyqR0] Teen Wolf: The Broken Spell (4×12) By Elise Kulik Rating: ★★★★★ It’s the end of an era. Ever since last season, we know that another Teen Wolf season finale means high stakes, lots of action, and possible death. Thank the powers that be that it also means the end of […]
