Superboy shows up on Smallville and hits on Lois Lane

After last week’s mind-boggling “drunk Superman bachelor party” episode, Smallville came down to Earth with “Scion,” the latest installment in the saga of Lex Luthor’s hyper-aging clone (or as I call him, “Clex”). The thing is, Clex might not be willing to assume Lex’s Machiavellian mantle. Genetics have a different fate in store for this…

A little bit of the old worm-ear on Supernatural

Last night’s Supernatural, “And Then There Were None,” got us back into the season’s big arc about the origin of all the monsters on Earth. Plus it dished out some magical forensics and a little 1980s action movie fu. Spoilers ahead! For an arc episode, things were surprisingly monster-of-the-weekish. Eve’s opening gambit The last time…

Morena Baccarin: I studied lizard sex videos on Youtube to prepare to play Anna

Morena Baccarin was our favorite Companion on Firefly, and now she’s an inscrutable lizard queen on V. How does she manage to play a character who ostensibly has no human emotion, but grapples with tons of family drama? And more to the point, how does all of that lizard mating and reproduction actually work? We…

We might share popcorn, or laugh in unison, or murmur something about how so-and-so got fat—but it ain’t exactly a meeting of the minds. Our eyes—and brains—are…

It’s a Cylon reunion on No Ordinary Family

Last night’s No Ordinary Family brought together one of its silliest plots yet with a full-on Battlestar Galactica reunion hour, complete with a pair of former Cylons, lots of cryptic discussions about murky conspiracies, and even a would-be suicide bombing. “No Ordinary Love” was one Grace Park short of a complete set of ridiculously tall…

Goodbye, Vince: Why we’ll miss The Cape

Last night’s episode may be the last we ever see of The Cape, NBC’s splashy superhero show. And “Razer” was the perfect example of just why we’ll miss this cockamamie show.
