‘Merlin: A Servant Of Two Masters’ – Recap
Arthur, Merlin, and the knights are riding to the Valley of the Fallen Kings when the episode opens; something that Merlin says it’s a terrible idea, since no one in their right mind would go there. Which, by the way, is precisely why Arthur likes the ruins there–... -
‘The River: Magus/Marbeley’ – Series Premiere Recap
I admit to a slight hatred of films and TV shows in the “found footage” genre. ‘The River’ is filmed in this style, and this comes as no surprise given Oren Peli is attached to it. Oren Peli, for those who don’t know, directed the first ‘Paranormal... -
‘Alcatraz: Guy Hastings’ – Recap
Guard numero uno comes into the present day this week. Guess this switches the format to “guard-of-the-week” eh? Fun little trivia point: the actor who plays Hastings also played Hoyt on ‘True Blood’. Also, are we doing “previously on Alcatraz”... -
‘Merlin: His Father’s Son’ – Recap
This week’s offering is yet more growth in Arthur as a king. Gwen and Gaius have minor roles again, as the show tries to focus ever more on the Merlin-Arthur partnership. Oh, and Agravaine’s an even slimier git. As if that were possible, amirite? [spoilers ahead] The... -
‘Alcatraz: Cal Sweeney’ – Recap
This week opens with an attractive young man coming in and asking to pay a visit to his safety deposit box from a beautiful teller named Amanda. They go into the back and start making out. The man spins her around and, after seeing the security camera was off, jabs her with... -
‘Merlin: Aithusa’ – Recap
Aithusa seems an odd title, but trust me it makes sense in the end. It’s the first in season 4 where neither Morgana nor Gwen make an appearance, and is odd in that respect given how strong they’ve been in previous weeks. Much of the action hinges on Merlin rather... -
‘Alcatraz: Kit Nelson’ – Recap
This week we’ve got a child killer on the loose. The prisoner-of-the-week, Kit Nelson, has the rather creeptastic tendency of killing his victims and then delivering their bodies back home. Fun times, huh? After the “previously seen” bit where we get told yet... -
‘Merlin: The Wicked Day’ – Recap
This week is the first standalone episode of the new season, and it opens with a group of performers moving through the street. It’s Arthur’s birthday today, and they’re planning a fairly large celebration in his honor. Arthur’s not impressed, but Merlin... -
‘Alcatraz: Pilot – Ernest Cobb’ Recap
The show ‘Alcatraz’ is J.J. Abrams’s long-awaited new project, and falls nicely (yet-again) into the science fiction mystery category of stories. What aired last night wasn’t a two-hour pilot episode, but actually two episodes airing back to back. As... -
‘Merlin: The Darkest Hour’ (Part Two) – Recap
[Spoilers Ahead] The second part of the season premiere opens with Merlin facing death after that Darocha attack he saved Arthur from at the end of part one. The knights’ confidence has been shattered by Merlin’s condition, and Arthur declares they have to take Merlin... -
‘Merlin: The Darkest Hour’ (Part One) – Recap
The season four premiere is a prime case of all the things ‘Merlin’ does right, immediately from the first scene to the final cliffhanger moment. One of the best parts about ‘Merlin’ is the sheer expansive nature of the show. This is unadulterated epic... -
‘Merlin’: Recap Of Seasons 1-3
With the premiere of ‘Merlin’ season 4 on U.S. television this Friday (10 pm Eastern on Syfy), we thought it worthwhile to take a look back at seasons one through three for the viewer who either doesn’t recall what happened to our favorite wizard and his friends,... -
Check Out What’s Coming In Season 4 Of ‘Merlin’
Fans of ‘Merlin’ won’t have to wait much longer for season 4 on U.S. television. Premiering Friday, January 6 at 10 pm Eastern on Syfy, the show tells the story of how Merlin and King Arthur came to be … well … Merlin and King Arthur. Except Merlin... -
‘American Horror Story: Afterbirth’ Recap (Season Finale)
The season one finale of American Horror Story consists of some not-so big surprises, a bit of a hopeful note, and the answering of a number of questions. The major character death doesn’t really come as a surprise, but what happens afterward is definitely interesting. We... -
‘American Horror Story’s Own Spooky Little Girl: Violet Harmon
Violet Harmon is perhaps the only truly innocent character in the entire cast of ‘American Horror Story’. She starts off angry and caustic toward her parents, incredibly unhappy with them uprooting her life in Boston for a move across the country to Los Angeles. She’s...
