Ming-Na Wen cast as Melinda May in Joss Whedon’s S.H.I.E.L.D., CBS gives full-season orders to freshman series Elementary and Vegas, the CW tries to have its own epic sword and costume drama, and Barnes & Noble goes against giants.
Suspense skyrockets as a simple kill has painted a target on Dexter’s back, but will he still be able to keep his Dark Passenger secret without help?
Walk with Me dramatically slowed down the pace of this season in some good and bad ways. This Andrea and Michonne centric episode introduces us to Woodbury and the Governor. Well, saying this is a Michonne centric episode is a bit of a stretch.
“The Bullet That Saved the World” was one of those episodes that lull you into a false sense of normalcy bordering on boredom before unleashing what it has in store. When that moment came, the story was merciless, bearing its weight on characters and on the viewers with a ruthless but logical determination. The episode wasn’t so much about the bullet in the title as it was about the people for whom it was more than a keepsake, the parents for whom the bullet was a promise for better days and the daughter for whom it was a connection to a lost paradise she would not see again.
On the heels of its Primetime Emmy Awards wins and series best ratings for the beginning of its sophomore season, Homeland has been renewed for a third season of 12 episodes. After winning the Emmys for best drama, best actor in a drama (Damian Lewis), and best actress in a drama (Claire Danes) on September 23, the show’s second season premiere drew in 1.73 million viewers, a series high that was edged a few days ago by the game changing fourth episode with 1.75 million viewers.
The Walking Dead is having a nice streak. After a very weak first half of season two, everything after the winter finale was an improvement and now that we’re two episodes into season three, those positive changes have been enhanced even more. Sick starts right where the premiere left off. Hershel has just had his leg removed and the surviving prisoners are bewildered by what they’ve just witnessed.
“God’s Eye” featured brilliant ideas, adrenaline-fueled action scenes, touching moment, but instead of keeping things that way, it also added jarring plot holes and sprinkled the whole with some frustrating character-centric storylines. If you have read any of my recent reviews of Alphas, you know by now that I don’t particularly like the direction the show has taken in its sophomore year, a new direction that was perfectly embodied in the season finale.
