Was “Thank You” a perfect finale? No, it wasn’t. But was it the best we could have hoped for in light of the current state of True Blood? Most definitely. In the hour and five minute finale, we were given the last moments of Bill, along with surprisingly happy endings for pretty much every single […]
The Legend of Korra‘s third season ended this week with two episodes, “Enter the Void” and “Venom of the Red Lotus”. I’ll save it for the review, but man, what a way to go out. Plot In “Enter the Void”, Korra plans to hand herself over to Zaheer, but plans to double-cross him. However, when […]
With an ending like that, it’s a good thing that news broke this week that Rectify has been renewed for a third season. While I suppose “Unhinged” could have served as a series finale in a pinch, it works much better as the end of Act Two. Things remain dire for Daniel, Tawney appears headed […]
About halfway through “Love is to Die” I had to double check and makes sure it was the penultimate episode of True Blood‘s seventh season rather than the actual series finale, as so many of the show’s storylines appeared to be wrapping up in nice little bows. But, as it turns out, this was actually […]
While the two most successful episodes of The Leftovers have been, “Two Boats and a Helicopter” and “Guest,” which limit their narrative to the experience of one specific character, “Cairo” shows that the series can deliver an equally daring and ambitious hour with the more traditional storytelling template. The focus isn’t entirely on one person; […]
The Strain continues to impede the few positive aspects of the show in favor for dull storytelling, expected developments and uninspired action sequences, if you could call them that. “Occultation” opens with an adequate cold open. As the camera floats in outer space over the earth, we hear several news reports discussing the upcoming eclipse […]
Oh man. Legend of Korra returned this week with “The Ultimatum”. I have to admit, I was kind of dreading this episode. This season seems to have a knack for good setups and poor payoffs. Man was I wrong. Let’s get to it! Plot, You Guys As Ba Sing Se falls into chaos, Mako and […]
There is only one more episode left in Rectify‘s second season, and with that in mind, it’s easy to see how “Until Your Blue” took more steps to advance the plot than your average episode of the series. That being said, the episode proved the show doesn’t need to simply be about existential questioning. It […]
Kevin Garvey is a troubled, troubled man. He, like so many people in this town, the country, the world, has been significantly affected by the Departure. While The Leftovers has invested a lot of time in exploring how he and his family have dealt with the unprecedented event, “Solace for Tired Feet” delves even deeper into […]
When David Bradley showed up in the last moments of last week’s episode kicking ass and stealing every scene he was in, it gave The Strain a much-needed dose of excitement and entertainment. Finally, someone came in and actually started to do something. He was someone who could potentially pose as a formidable opponent to […]
