At the beginning of this episode, Ray’s been gone from his house long enough for Abby to ask him what she’s supposed to tell the kids. He’s not having any of her lip though, after seeing a picture of their daughter with Mickey in part of her family tree school […]
Being Human’s final season hits BBC America
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvcoXbVUtDU] When it comes to Being Human, the only thing more painful than, you know, the whole show, is waiting for the new season to reach the States. (Hey, not everybody downloads and streams). But at last, BBC America has begun running the show’s final season as a part of […]
"Sharknado": A Terrible Work of Genius
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iwsqFR5bh6Q] Sharks took my grandpa. So I really hate sharks. Sharknado may have had dismal TV viewer statistics, but by the explosive reaction on Twitter, you’d never know it. Somehow, this absurdly named B-movie was the best thing to post about on Thursday night. Now, the dust has settled, the air […]
Free! Takes Fanservice to a New Level
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NqRG88E-s8&w=560&h=315] In March 2013, Kyoto Animation released a short 30-second animated video displaying the company’s abilities. What the company did not expect was the overwhelming flood of positive responses to the video, which quickly hit viral status on the internet. Almost overnight, this 30-second clip gained its own fan base, […]
Ray Donovan: A Mouth Is A Mouth Recap
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maxnpKE-3rk] Ray Donovan is starting to gain a footing as the next great family drama. With this episode, the LA “fixing” was better integrated into the Donovans chaotic life. The pacing is still a bit wonky, but I think they’re going to get there. The ratings also improved from the […]
Defiance: Everything is Broken Recap
This is it – the season finale of Defiance, was it everything you hoped for and more? We already know it’ll be back for season two, so there’s no sweating it there. Maybe play the game in the downtime? I’ve never tried out the videogame accompaniment myself, so I can’t […]
Ray Donovan: The Bag or the Bat Recap
As much as it pains me to say it, Ray Donovan was not the ground-breaking, mind-blowing, face-melter that I had hoped it would be. It’s well acted, with a few questionable Bawston accents, and the story seems solid, if not a bit boring. It did premiere with good numbers and […]
Attack on Titan is a Monstrous Success
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKflh9WztKo&w=560&h=315] I must say that I have grown very skeptical of anime and am no longer quick to invest myself in a series. This is mostly because, after years of experience, I have found that most of them are simply second-rate (reality check: not everything that comes from Japan is […]
Why, Even as BBC Sherlock Fans, Elementary Has Become Our Favorite
With the Elementary’s first season completed and BBC Sherlock’s third season still in the works, I’d like to take the time to write a potentially dangerous post: a side-by-side comparison of both of these modern reimaginings of Sherlock Holmes. By the end of Elementary’s finale, a few of us here […]
Continuum: Second Degree & Second Listen Recap
We learn something pretty quickly in Second Degree. That it’s quickly turning into Kiera, Alec, and Carlos versus Liber8. As loyalties are tested and people reveal themselves to be two-faced it’s turning into a race to stop whatever Liber8 is planning. With the trial of Julian coming up, Carlos must […]
