PSA: If you live in Haven, never EVER take your eyes off your kid

Seriously. Don’t leave the room. Don’t blink. Don’t fall asleep—or else risk losing your little ones to Haven’s latest Trouble. Sometimes Haven goes a bit overboard with its Trouble of the week, getting so heavy-handed with the special effects that it’s hard to care much about the Trouble or the people it affects. But this…

Will Asami turn into a war profiteer on The Legend of Korra?

The best use of “yay!” in last night’s episode of Revolution

Revolution is going for broke this season with heightened violence, but it’s also grown a snarky sense of humor. This scene is a perfect example. Spoilers ahead!

Family Guy addresses one of Back to the Future‘s many Sex Conundrums

Back to the Future is a wonderful movie, but it’s also full of squicky sex stuff. Like watching someone’s Mom hit on her time-traveling son — plus, why does Doc really want to pal around with a High School kid? But Family Guy addressed perhaps the most notable WTF moment last weekend.

I love it when Person of Interest manages to deliver moral commentary for the internet age in the middle of a crazy action story. This week, our number is a douchebag entrepreneur who sells people’s private data for money. His presence allows the Machine Gang to explore how surveillance doesn’t have to destroy privacy.
