Is Peter Capaldi’s new costume a callback to a classic Doctor Who?

So, we’ve finally gotten a look at the outfit Peter Capaldi will be wearing as the Doctor. And while it’s a brand new look, it’s also strangely familiar. https://gizmodo.com/peter-capaldis-brand-new-doctor-who-outfit-revealed-1509990371 After sizing up the new outfit — a minimalist ensemble of black slacks and a crisp white button-up, topped with a red-lined, dark wool coat —…

What TV series knew how to end at exactly the right moment?

We all know there are TV shows that wear out their welcome for season after season. There are others that die much too soon. But which show exited gracefully, at exactly the right moment? Give us your pick, and illustrate your answer with a picture, video, or link. What made the show successful at making…

Peter Capaldi’s brand-new Doctor Who outfit revealed!

The BBC just released this pic of the Twelfth Doctor in his official Doctor duds, and… huh! Stylish. A nice mix of classic and modern, well befitting a time traveler. It’s certainly no nonsense — I don’t see this incarnation of the Doctor going in for a fez, do you? Peter Capaldi clearly agrees, as…

Don’t get too attached to Intelligence — its ratings are in freefall

Television shows often seem to experience huge ratings drop-offs after their first episodes. But even so, this is really something. Intelligence went from 16.6 million viewers in its first week to 6.1 million in its second. Some of this drop-off is due to CBS moving Intelligence from Tuesday night, right before Person of Interest, to…

That Terrible, Depressing Fantastic Four Rumor? Totally Not True

Things are coming together on Helix, at last

With last night’s episode of Helix, the show finally hit its stride. What’s become obvious is Helix is not a conventional science fiction tale. The zombie disease is our MacGuffin; the true mystery at the heart of the story is Hiroshi, the man who runs the Arctic Biosystems facility. Spoilers ahead! I know this will…

Things go to hell for pretty much everybody in the Dracula finale

Those hoping that NBC’s Dracula miniseries would bring the excitement for the season (series?) finale, you couldn’t have been disappointed. Sure, not everything was resolved, but how upset can you be with a finale that included a great deal of murder, fucking, and the blood of Christ used as a vampire GPS? I’m serious. It’s…

Grimm reveals even Wesen can be horrible racists

After three strong weeks in a row, Grimm falters with “The Big Hunt.” It’s not a reversion to the Wesen-o’-the-Week formula, thank goodness, but it involves three separate plots that never come close to approaching each other, and all of which could have been condensed. Seriously, I can make this recap even quicker than last…

Vampire Diaries shows that bad people should feel bad about themselves

Last night’s Vampire Diaries romp was the show’s 100th episode, and it felt sort of like a party, with everybody coming back for cameos. But also like a summation of what the show was about, and its three main ex-villains: Damon, Katherine and Klaus. They all want to stop hating themselves, but we know that’s…

The second half of Walking Dead s4 is full of sunshine and rainbows

Wait, did I say “sunshine and rainbows?” I meant “violence and despair.” My bad! This four-minute, new-footage-laden preview for the second half of the show’s excellent fourth season has the showrunners and the cast members revealing that yes, everyone is still split up, and everyone is also pretty damned upset about leaving the prison. And…

Marvel’s bringing two more super-characters to Agents of SHIELD

Now this is more like it. After announcing that Lady Sif would make an appearance on Agents of SHIELD, Marvel’s Jephn Loeb announced that two more comics characters were also appearing on the show — the cyborg Deathlok and the Asgardian sorceress Lorelei. And the kicker is that we’ve already met Deathlok. Here’s what Loeb…

Does a new Walking Dead photo spell disaster for one major character?

Revolution gives good plague

It is with great relief that I would like to report that last night’s Revolution was actually kind of awesome. With family drama at a minimum, we got a taste of creepy high-tech, post-tech fascist terrorism. With Gramps and Charlie sucked into taking care of the typhus victims, we actually get a “solve that medical…

This episode of Arrow made me want a Laurel Lance series

Laurel Lance has been a shaky character since the beginning of Arrow. Bearing the twin burdens of love interest and goody-two-shoes, she’s flitted ineffectively around the edge of the series. This episode, “Blind Spot,” made me want a whole Laurel Lance series – provided I could plot it. The episode of the series featured some…

Since The Originals started airing, it’s never been dull — the Vampire Diaries spinoff has followed in the footsteps of its parent show, throwing in plot twist after plot twist and betrayal on top of betrayal.
