The season two premiere of Orphan Black doesn’t waste much time in jumping back into the action. “Nature Under Constraint and Vexed” picks up right where the season one finale left us. Kira and Mrs. S have been taken from their home and Sarah is determined to get them back. What follows is an intense and […]
Words cannot express how wonderful it is to have Orphan Black back on our screens. It’s been a long year since we last had the chance to spend time with Sarah, Cosima, and Alison, and the time away has certainly only made my heart grow fonder. Hopefully the year away has also increased this amazing […]
For the past few weeks, Hannibal has been speeding along like a bullet train headed for the inevitable violent confrontation between Jack and Hannibal. There was no way to keep up such pacing, as doing so would have put us at that fight far quicker than the upcoming season finale. Within that in mind, I […]
For some reason, this episode sped by with alarming speed. I think I kept expecting someone to yell out “You’ve been punked!” I mean, triplets?! Count on Leslie to knock something like procreating out of the park. Of course, from the 99 cent pregnancy test to the questionable Dr. Saperstein—who thought a speck of cream […]
Last week, when I was recapping “Basic Story,” I mentioned that the episode might appear in a better light following this week’s finale. And, it truly does, as it now serves as the first act for what may very well be the series finale of Community. This has been an up and down season. Compared […]
Ding dong the King is dead. As so often happens in the world of Game of Thrones, awful things happen at traditionally joyous occasions. And while I certainly don’t think too many fans will shed a tear over the death of the truly horrific Joffrey, the implication that Tyrion is the perpetrator of the crime […]
Up until this episode, I have been operating under the assumption that Bryan Fuller and his team are using Thomas Harris’ novels as guides for the overall story. That they are expanding on a small piece of the novel “Red Dragon,” but that characters within the series who also appear in the novels would have […]
I thought I had outsmarted the Parks and Rec crew. The promo promising big news while showing Leslie vomiting in a trash bin couldn’t possibly mean she was pregnant, especially not so soon after Ann gave birth. It was a misdirect, pure and simple. Leslie had the flu, and it was going to be just […]
A suspect that “Basic Story” will work much better in tandem with next week’s season finale, but as a stand alone episode it certainly felt like all exposition and very little plot. In fact, a great deal of the episode’s B storyline was spent following Abed as he attempts to deal with a Greendale without […]
All season long I have been extolling Adam Reed’s masterful skill in breathing new life to Archer, instilling it with a freshness that was missing in its fourth season and rebranding it Archer Vice. Much of that new quality has to do with the change in premise and its effect of the characters; the ISIS […]
