Once upon a time, when I was in high school, and Spartacus first started, my favorite history teacher told me that the show was basically soft core porn and not even history. Well, he may have been right, but this show has evolved into such an emotional roller coaster that […]
Elementary: Snow Angels Recap
To Sherlock Holmes, a blizzard is simply a factor in making a case more interesting. With a storm on its way, Sherlock and Joan take in an old friend and consultant of Sherlock’s named Ms. Hudson. In Elementary, the canon character of Holmes and Watson’s landlady takes on the form […]
Cult: The Good Fight Recap
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaclQxptCcE] Friends don’t slip friends Cult-themed drugs at Cult-themed parties. Or, you know, any type of drug at any time. A reaction to her drugged drink from last week’s episode landed Skye in the hospital, after she began hallucinating Billy Grimm and collapsed. Without knowing what she took, the resulting […]
The Following: Guilt Recap
The Following starts off mocking us with Paul and his finely god-carved body. Obviously we know that he’s dead, but his spirit continues to haunt Jacob. So far, we don’t know how it has affected Jacob. Your first kill stays with you, even more so when it’s a loved one. […]
Bates Motel: “Nice Town You Picked, Norma” Recap
Max Thieriot shows up in the beginning of this week’s new episode as Norman Bates’s older half-brother, Dylan. It’s nice to see him in something. I don’t think I’ve seen him in a while.

Cinderella is a Cyborg
At least, she is in the fairytale inspired novel Cinder by Marissa Meyer. When I picked up this book I figured it was going to be your usual fairy tale adaptation. They are pretty common these days. Once Upon A Time on ABC does it with a campy, family friendly flare that’s really gotten […]
Bates Motel: First You Dream, Then You Die Recap
The second of three serial killer-related programs beginning this year and the first of two based on previously established stories, Bates Motel is a modern day prequel to the film Psycho. This works because Psycho is a story that ages well. It doesn’t really matter what era Norman Bates grew […]
Hawken: Genesis Expands on the Mythos of Hawken
Before I recieved an early copy of Archaia Entertainment’s complete graphic novel, Hawken: Genesis, I had never even heard of Hawken. Which is probably a bit sad and loses me some nerd cred because apparently Hawken is a thing that I should have known about. Forbes wrote about it! A couple of […]
The Walking Dead: Prey Recap
It’s apparently flashback Sunday! Not only did Once Upon A Time feature a bunch of flashbacks to the early days of Storybrooke but The Walking Dead begins with a flashback to Michonne and Andrea’s days together. Except it’s not really a nice, happy flashback because this is the Walking Dead […]
