A Walking Dead video game? Brrraaaainnsss-less

Fringe can’t stop torturing Walter Bishop — and we love it!

Walter Bishop got rooked last night. Of course, to be fair, he was dealing with the greatest poker face in the universe. In fact, it’s official: Sawyer is no longer the greatest con artist in the J.J. Abrams-verse. Spoilers ahead! So for all their shy, non-interfering schtick, it turns out the Observers are incredibly manipulative…

How will Fringe wreck your nerves next? The producers tell all!

Last year, Fringe raised the bar for insane mindgames and unforgettable characterization. So what’s next? Will Walter’s heart (and brain) get broken again? Will Olivia go through more hell? And what about Walternate? The producers tell us what to expect. We were lucky enough to get to email some questions to Fringe producers Jeff Pinkner…

Walter’s challenges are just beginning, judging from tomorrow’s Fringe episode

We’ve seen tomorrow night’s all-new episode of Fringe, and we’re happy to say the show’s continuing its winning streak.

Could J.J. Abrams’ new show be more bizarre than Lost? Here’s everything we know so far

As J.J. Abrams preps to shoot his new mysterious, (possibly) time-traveling TV series Alcatraz, we’re piecing together the trail of clues Abrams has left. What is this show about?

NBC has ordered a pilot for Moore’s Precinct 17, an ensemble police drama set in a world ruled by magic instead of science, in the town of Excelsior. https://gizmodo.com/ron-moores-new-television-project-a-harry-potter-inspi-5627883

Post-apocalyptic TV shows never succeed

Zombie apocalypse series Walking Dead is riding high on critical praise. But if history is any guide, the show is doomed to fail. Nobody has ever made a post-apocalyptic TV series work in the States. In recent years, the post-apocalypse has served as the backdrop for doomed cult favorite shows like Jericho, the story of…

V has become a crappy True Blood knockoff with aliens

I think the only reason any of us are watching V anymore is for the completely weird sex scenes, intermingled with religious sermons. Basically the show is just all supernatural breeding and torture, especially in last night’s episode. Look me in the eyes and tell me honestly (not drunkenly, or with that “I ate six…

No Ordinary Family does its best Die Hard impression

Tonight’s No Ordinary Family offered a Die Hard style hostage crisis, with Jim doing his best Bruce Willis impersonation to save his fellow cops, including Warehouse 13 star Joanne Kelly. And then there’s some superpowered “truth or dare.” “No Ordinary Detention” locked its main characters in three different sets of enclosed spaces. Jim and George…

Our newest superhero is totally naked under his cape

The Cape is totally ludicrous and silly, but there’s something kind of lovable about a show that believes in pulp archetypes so much that its characters are nothing else. What is The Cape, under his cape? He’s naked. Spoilers ahead… Last night’s episode, “Kozmo,” packed in so many story threads and themes that it’s hard…
