On The Walking Dead, It’s Time for the Alexandrians to Save Rick

Remember how last week I begged for The Walking Dead to get on with it? Well, this week I got my wish in an episode full of some much-anticipated answers, some great characters moments (amidst some shocking stupidity and assholery), and one hell of a cliffhanger for next week’s fall finale. “Heads Up” starts slow,…

Doctor Who: This Was All The Doctor’s Fault

For years now, Doctor Who has been exploring the dark side of the Doctor, that quasi-immortal time traveler from another planet. He turns people into weapons, he inspires his friends to be reckless, he makes his enemies worse, etc. But with this latest episode, we see the absolute worst indictment of the Doctor. Spoilers ahead……

It used to be that you’d know if a show would be cancelled after just a couple of weak episodes. With the enormous amount of new television shows out there, networks are more reluctant to give programs the ax, opting to give them a bit more time to find an audience.

Netflix Is Bringing Lost In Space Back For Your Binging Pleasure

Netflix might as well be known as the Island of Lost TV Shows. The latest show to be resurrected from the dead is 1965’s Lost In Space, which comes to Netflix after a “competitive situation, with multiple bidders”. Lost In Space originally aired in 1965 and ran for three seasons on CBS, and follows the…

The New Adventure Time Miniseries Was an Amazing Meditation on Change

The theme song of the eight-part Adventure Time miniseries that just concluded, “Stakes,” is called “Everything Stays,” and it’s about how things remain where you left them. Sort of a fitting theme for a series about change and how everything goes in cycles. Spoilers ahead… “Stakes” is basically about Marceline the Vampire Queen deciding she…

Ash vs Evil Dead‘s Exec Producer Talks Season 2—Plus a Clip From the Next Episode!

It’s been a while since we’ve been as excited about a new show as we are about Ash vs Evil Dead, which expands the world of Sam Raimi’s movies with humor, horror, and so much glorious Bruce Campbell.

Man, I’ve Got to Stop Overestimating Heroes Reborn

The fall finale of Heroes Reborn has come and gone, and it’s left us with some major revelations—and some confusion. Mostly confusion. I mean, I’ve spent the entire season wondering if the show would have answers for all the mysteries the show has posed, but I forgot to ask an equally important question: Will those…

Cowboy Bebop has been off the air for nearly 15 years—but its legacy remains potent. Case in point: A new exhibition of science-fiction-inspired sculptures and artworks includes a brand new sculpture of Faye Valentine, one of the show’s kickass space bounty hunters. Warning: could be NSFW, since you can kind of see nipples. This sculpture…

It’s a Freaking Miracle That We Got a Man in the High Castle TV Show

The producers of the Man in the High Castle TV series spent eight years trying to get it off the ground, and having doors slammed in their faces. For a while, the BBC was going to make it, but it fell through. In order to finally get it made, they had to make one crucial…

American Horror Story: Hotel Flashes Back to Old Hollywood, Land of Glamor and Vampires

Despite a mighty effort to keep the Ten Commandments Killer storyline going (zzzz…), it’s Lady Gaga’s Countess who owns this show week after week. In “Flicker,” we got the Countess’ complete origin story—and it’s a doozy, dripping in old Hollywood glamor. Spoilers! We finally know who turned the Countess: silent-film heartthrob Rudolph Valentino, played by…

Last Night’s Arrow Could be a Game-Changer for Superhero Shows in General

You should watch the latest Arrow episode with the sound off. This is not an insult to the dialogue in “Brotherhood,” but a tribute to the fights. Not only could this story be told largely through the ass-kickings, this style could actually change what we expect from Arrow and superhero shows. The First Fight This…

Marvel’s Jessica Jones Is The Character-Focused Superhero Epic We’ve Been Waiting For

In the past decade, we’ve seen an endless parade of comic book movies and TV shows, promising to be darker and more “realistic.” But until Jessica Jones, none of them has really hit the mark. We saw the first seven episodes, and here’s our spoiler-free review. There’s a lot to like about Jessica Jones, the…

Firefly Invades Star Wars Rebels In the Form Of a Brand New Bounty Hunter

Since Star Wars Rebels is canon, it’s always a big deal when they introduce a new character. This is a person, creature or droid that will now forever be a part of Star Wars lore and, in the latest episode, they introduced a good one: Female bounty hunter Ketsu Onyo, voiced by Gina Torres. To…

The Doomed TV Adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle Was Just Undoomed

Ever since it was announced that the vaguely named IM Global Television would turn Kurt Vonnegut’s classic science fiction satire Cat’s Cradle into a TV series, I have been dreading it. Oh, I love Vonnegut’s bleak novel, but I was 100 percent certain no one could transform the slim, wonderful, esoteric book into live-action. I…

Has Justice League Dark Already Found Its Constantine?

Milla Jovovich looks different in Resident Evil set pictures. Plus, Sarah Dollard on her Doctor Who episode’s big connection to the season’s arc, and a new Jessica Jones clip. So Many Spoilers! Justice League Dark Salt…

Agents of SHIELD Is at the Top of its Game, and That’s Amazing to Watch

One thing that keeps occurring to me while watching Agents of SHIELD lately: This show is pretty much 100 percent serialized now, with huge elements of soap opera as well as ongoing plot strands. There’s zero “monster of the week” stuff. That’s been true for a long time, but lately the show is doing this…
