Well, here we are, folks. It’s the end of season one of The Following. Things aren’t looking so good for Hardy and especially Agent Parker and Claire. And with Carroll severely wounded, this is anyone’s game. Let’s see how it will play out, shall we? “The Final Chapter” opens with Hardy and the FBI review footage from the attack on the center, they ID one of the followers, Alex, and also make the connection that Carroll has brought to life some of Poe’s better known […]

Game of Thrones gives us one of those episodes where pieces move around the board (literally, in this case) to be set up for whatever terrible fate awaits them in the future. At the same time, we get a glimpse into the sweeping, tragic past that the Song of Ice & Fire grows from. In the Brothers Without Banners’ secret hideout, Sandor Clegane and Beric Dondarrion prepare for a trial by combat. Beric takes up his sword and somehow causes it to burst into flame, […]

Here goes Carroll watching more Hardy porn. As we are watching the full-fledged spiraling descent of what little sanity Carroll had left, we are also seeing him hanging on with a gossamer thin thread to what remains of his beloved followers. He may be dying with that gut wound, and now he comes back to Emma, begging for forgiveness, needing her help, wanting her trust, but I think we all know that she definitely can’t be trusted. With Joey’s description of the house, Hardy and […]

Lost Girl’s season finale reveals the details of Isaac’s sinister scheme: he wants humanity to ascend to an new level of terrible acting. For some reason the first few minutes of this episode felt really abrupt and detached. I had the strange feeling I’d missed an episode. But no. It was just weird. Some girls from the kitsune sorority act ditzy and slutty and reveal that Tamsin is at the end of her valkyrie life cycle. They also mention to Bo that Tamsin is involved […]

This week’s Game of Thrones was full of comeuppance, as tyrants were humbled (or killed) and we got one of the best, most epic moments of the series so far. This episode was mostly split between King’s Landing and Craster’s Keep north of the Wall, with a few stops here and there. One stop was a brief and seemingly pointless visit with Bran and Jojen and a three-eyed crow. Yup, Bran has weird psychic dreams and the crow has some kind of mystic significance. We […]

Greg and Jared Butler have some interesting ideas about zombie movies, and how to make one like you’ve never seen before. They just need $45K to make it happen. The Butler brothers want to film a movie about heroic zombies in a post-apocalyptic world fighting against evil human oppressors. The zombies are immortals who’ve lived for a hundred years or more, and use various bio-mechanical bodges to hold their deteriorating bodies together. The movie is called Undying. And while I was skeptical at first (whenever […]

Sheriff Roderick is helping out the FBI right under Hardy’s nose. But one thing he didn’t count on was that Weston would be back. When Weston sees him, he pulls a gun on him. Roderick eyes him momentarily and was surprised to see him, banking on Weston being in the hospital. Roderick walks away and the rest of the sheriffs’ office pin down Weston as Roderick walks out the door. We learn that Roderick’s real name is Tim Nelson and he had Carroll as an […]

No good deed goes unpunished on Game of Thrones. From battlefields to brothels, favors are traded even if the cost isn’t always immediate. Or, in Jaime’s case, very immediate. There were three short “check-in” plots this week, so let’s take care of those first. Arya and her companions are still with the Brotherhood Without Banners, but they know who she is now. Hot Pie decides to stay on at the inn as a cook, and makes Arya a breadwolf. Arya and Gundry head out with […]

Lost Girl gives us the big windup before the season finale, as Hale’s inauguration turns into the inciting incident for a full-scale race war. This season of Lost Girl has been desultory. It’s lacked focus and never found the fun Scooby Gang dynamic that made it such a cheap thrill for the first two seasons. This episode wasn’t really a return to form, but it had drama and tension and a galloping pace that was a welcome relief from the bromidic walk-throughs of the last […]

Episode twelve titled, “The Curse”, starts off with Claire trying to make a run for it with Joey first thing in the morning, only to be met at the gate by Roderick and a group of the followers. Good try, bad call. Now Claire’s on house arrest courtesy of sheriff Roderick. Creepy Carroll informs Claire that trust must be earned. In New Jersey, Hardy and the FBI are checking out the cult’s training grounds. A beat up Weston is back and looking worse for the […]
