The Following Episode 8: Welcome Home
In episode eight of The Following, “Welcome Home”, it is a fine welcome for Carroll as he warms up to his spacious, wooded mansion full of cult followers. Creepy Carroll watches Joey sleep, leaving a startled Joey afraid and distant. Do you blame the kid? Making matters worse, Carroll then tries to sell himself as a ‘cool and fun’ guy. Needless to say, Joey isn’t feeling the love. Emma tries to lick Carroll’s wounds by saying Joey just needs to get to know him. Meanwhile,… Read More »
Walking Dead – Arrow on the Doorpost
On Walking Dead, authority always wins, the Great Failed Treaty of ’13 yields yawns, Andrea picks a side, and Glen and Maggie reveal a new rule for Zombieland. The crux of this episode is the meeting between Rick and the Governor, arranged by Andrea and set up in neutral territory, an old barn. While Rick is inside, Daryl and Hershel provide cover, Hersh looking especially bad-ass with a holdout pistol tied to his leg stump, wearing a tattered black suit coat and his hair tied… Read More »
Immortalized, Episode 4: Your Worst Nightmare
Tonight, we have the challenger, Cat Grey, going up against the Immortalizer, Dave Houser. Cat uses the words creative, morbid, and evil genius to describe herself. She’s considered a rogue taxidermist. Houser has been a taxidermist since high school and has many awards to his name. He also enjoys dancing in his studio. Could be the pink mohawk… He’s a more traditional taxidermist. The theme for this episode is, “Your Worst Nightmare.” Houser’s home base is Pennsylvania. His confidence shines as he talks about what… Read More »
Freakshow 104: Human Pin Cushion
With a shocking start to episode four, “Human Pin Cushion,” we see Murrugun shoving skewers through his arm. He has agreed to do the famous human pin cushion act for the Venice Beach Freakshow. This act goes back thousands of years where people would pierce themselves in multiple locations throughout their bodies without bleeding. Murrugun proposes to stick a skewer through his torso where it will exit out his back. Todd shows concern about Murrugun possibly getting hurt, but Murrugun is confident he can pull… Read More »
Face Off – It’s Better in the Dark
It’s lights out on Face Off, and two contestants are eliminated. Plus, food poisoning! Last week I made fun of the weekly, “I’m so sad that {person who was eliminated last week} is gone,” that starts off every episode. When Autumn was eliminated, I kind of wondered if it would hold true this week. It did not. Foxy put a hand to his ear and said, “Listen!” Moment of silence. “No negativity!” I guess Autumn won’t be missed. Before we go any further, I have… Read More »
Lost Girl – There’s Bo Place Like Home
On Lost Girl, a road trip gives us a glimpse of the old Kenzi while Bo sets out to grant forgiveness, and realizes she’s really the one who needs forgiving. If that seems a little too Lifetimey, there’s a Polish demon and cleavage galore. Bo is training to endure “The Dawning,” which is some kind of ridiculous fae plot device through which she will face harrowing challenges in hopes of avoiding de-evolution into an underfae. I genuinely think at this point that the other fae… Read More »
The Following Episode 7: Let Me Go
This just may be the most important episode of The Following yet. In “Let Me Go” we see many unexpected events culminate that will allow for the story to continue in its complex arc. As usual, the question becomes, who is a part of the following tonight. Emma takes Joey to a spooky abandoned building where she claims she has to meet a friend that will help them before they can go to his mother. A scary guy named Bo steps out from the shadows,… Read More »
Walking Dead – Clear
“You will be torn apart by teeth or bullets.” This episode of Walking Dead was a throwback to season one, back when every episode left you wrung out and emotionally exhausted. Horror and anguish and humor and gore and ass-kicking zombie battles. Rick, Carl, and Michonne are on a road trip. We get our first taste of pathos as we glimpse a sign that says, “Erin, We tried for Stone Mountain. -J.” Seems like a simple little detail, but think of the scenes of real… Read More »
Freakshow 103: The Two-Headed Baby
The show starts with Todd who is on the hunt for the most rare specimen in a sideshow, a two-headed baby. In order to find one, he must travel to see Bobby Reynolds, also known as The King of the Sideshow, the owner of a two-headed baby boy preserved in a jar. Todd claims to have the largest collection of two-headed animals in history, but this one particular object has eluded him. He sees this as a representation of a transition from an older era… Read More »
Immortalized, Episode 3: The Odyssey
Tonight we have the Challenger, Mike “Mac” McCullough, going up against the Immortalizer, Takeshi Yamada. McCullough, from Ft. Louden, Pennsylvania, has been in taxidermy for 32 years and he calls his work art. He started more traditional, but over time has become more artistic. He’s completed around 5,000 pieces during his career. Yamada, from Osaka, Japan, is a former rogue taxidermy grand champion with a fear-inducing battle cry of, “Shazam!” He resembles a carnival barker with his suit and hat, and his unique accessory. He… Read More »
