Bates Motel: Midnight Review by Michael Henley, Contributing Writer
(May 21, 2013)
Nine weeks ago, when Bates Motel premiered, I nervously questioned whether the series would have enough gas in its tank to justify its own existence. Over the course of the past season, the series has had its ups and downs, particularly in the mechanics of

Supernatural: Sacrifice Review by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(May 19, 2013)
In a series that has become known for having season finales that end with a cliffhanger, this one was the,ummm…cliffhangiest! Crowley is continuing to go after those whom the Winchesters have saved and now targets Jody Mills, an old flame of Bobby’s.

Arrow: Sacrifice Review by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(May 17, 2013)
Well damn, did I call that wrong or what! After predicting the death of Malcolm Merlyn and Tommy taking up the Dark Arrow mantle in revenge, the writers pulled out something totally unexpected in the Arrow season finale that provided some finality to cert

Revolution: The Longest Day Review by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(May 16, 2013)
Is this an episode of Revolution so compelling that I longed for it to continue well past the sixty-minute mark? After you've checked my temperature and examined me for alien mind control devices (watch those roving fingers!) it's time to accept that this

Doctor Who: Nightmare in Silver Review by Kimberly McCall, Critic
(May 16, 2013)
Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned Cybermen episode of “Doctor Who?” The trouble with old foes is that it is often difficult to keep their menacing creepiness alive through the decades. The solution? Hand them over to Neil Gaiman. The infamous ge

Defiance: The Serpents Egg Review by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(May 15, 2013)
Irisa is damaged goods. She's an uncomfortable level of crazy packaged with absurd lethality. She's not like eccentric uncle Sal, who always gets the end of the bread loaf and needs to sit diagonally across the table from cousin Steffy. Instead Irisa is ba

Bates Motel: Underwater Review by Michael Henley, Contributing Writer
(May 14, 2013)
With only two episodes left in Bates Motel’s first season, it’s surprising to see the season’s penultimate entry, “Underwater,” engaging in so much wheel-spinning. Things happen in this episode, to be sure. Events occur. Dialogue is exchanged.

GAME OF THRONES: THE BEAR & THE MAIDEN FAIR Review by Jarrett Kruse, Columnist and Critic
(May 14, 2013)
Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones was nothing short of brilliant as George R.R. Martin wrote with the panache and flair that only the creator of the epic series could pull off. After reaching another ratings milestone last week, I have to think that th

Da Vincis Demons: The Magician Review by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(May 13, 2013)
A couple of weeks back I took the writers of Da Vinci’s Demons to task for not progressing the show’s main plot elements, particularly considering that the first season is a mere eight episodes. It’s clear however that the show is in it for the long

Supernatural: Clip Show Review by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(May 10, 2013)
After finding an injured Castiel in the middle of the road, Sam and Dean return to the Men of Letters Sanctum. Now that Sam has discovered that the final trial requires him to cure a demon, the boys comb the archives to find information.

Warehouse 13: Parks and Rehabilitation Review by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(May 10, 2013)
It was obvious from the moment it was given to him that Artie would end up watching Leena's recorded statement. The inevitability made it a matter of when, not if. I wanted to talk about this first because I found the scene moving and beautiful; heart wren

Arrow: Darkness at the Edge of Town Review by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(May 09, 2013)
Counting down to next week’s first season finale, this episode opens with Malcolm Merlyn, in his guise as the Dark Archer. Merlyn is tying up any connections to his company by killing all of the scientists at Unidac Industries, the tech firm responsible

Revolution: The Love Boat Review by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(May 09, 2013)
A solid A-story flanked by a compelling and mysterious B side tale help this week's episode vie for the crown as the best installment of Revolution thus far. There's a lot going on here which warrants delving into, but first credit should be given to direc

Defiance: A Well Respected Man Review by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(May 08, 2013)
Reflecting back upon this week's Defiance I am overcome with the desire to reread Of Mice and Men. The Nobel Prize winning Steinbeck novel about two depression era drifters, George and Lennie, has to have heavily influenced the characters of Ulysses the bi

Bates Motel: A Boy And His Dog Review by Michael Henley, TV Critic
(May 07, 2013)
If I had to state a theme for this week’s slow-burn creepy installment of Bates Motel, it would be “characters seizing control of their lives, with painful results.” Granted, some of the angles the episode takes are more oblique than others, but I do

GAME OF THRONES: THE CLIMB Review by Jarrett Kruse, Critic
(May 07, 2013)
Another epic and sweeping episode of Game of Thrones this week leaving me feeling like I had just watched a feature length movie rather than an hour long drama. I marvel at the narrative structure and how the production covers everything so well week in an

Da Vincis Demons: The Magician Review by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(May 06, 2013)
Things are getting tense in Florence. Count Riario has brought his army to the outskirts of Florence and brought the Pope’s terms of surrender to Lorenzo Medici. Included in these terms is that the Medici’s banks absolve Rome of all their debts and t

Supernatural The Great Escapist Review by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(May 05, 2013)
I’m not going to say I haven’t been enjoying season eight of Supernatural because I have, but the show has been SO much better when it has focused on the main plot involving Kevin Tran, the Prophet and the search for the demon and angel tablets. This

Arrow: The Undertaking Review by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(May 03, 2013)
Now THAT’S what you call an episode! With the season finale just two weeks away, the writers of Arrow may not have pulled out all the stops this week but they certainly pulled out a lot of them, with major revelations about several of the show’s key p

Revolution: Home Review by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(May 02, 2013)
I've trod this territory before, sounding his praises from these very pages. Lyons takes Monroe from the mundane level of scowling evil dictator to nuanced mad man, tortured but beyond redemption. The man doesn't simply emote, as Monroe we're given subtle

Doctor Who: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS Review by Kimberly McCall, Critic
(May 02, 2013)
If anyone watched that trailer proceeding this weeks Doctor Who episode, “Journey to the Centre of the Tardis,” it seemed to promise loads of insight and maybe even answer a question or two about our mysterious main characters.

TEEN TITANS GO! LEGENDARY SANDWICH/PIE BROS Review by Johnny Destructo, Critic and Comic Geek
(May 01, 2013)
Oh man, this is difficult. I am at a loss for words, which is a rarity, so I'm just going to be as blunt as I can. This show is bad. Not like Michael Jackson's BAD, which at the time actually meant good, or cool. This show is terrible. Not only is it painf

Defiance: The Devil in the Dark Review by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(May 01, 2013)
Despite some slight pacing issues, this week's Defiance succeeds by further growing the roots of its world, strengthening the mythos surrounding the series, and introducing to the TV audience some elements that have been confined to the video game. A gripe

GAME OF THRONES: Kissed by Fire Review by Jarrett Kruse, TV Critic
(April 30, 2013)
I am stilled hopped up from last week’s episode like a kid going on a sugar rush from a few too many packages of Fun-Dip (my favorite candy as a kid.) We dusted ourselves off and travelled again to the world of Westeros where the fire has clearly not gon

Bates Motel: The Man In Number 9 Review by Michael Henley, TV Critic
(April 30, 2013)
After last week’s mayhem and secret-sharing, Bates Motel takes things down a notch this week. Sort of. “The Man In Number 9,” now unburdened from the series’ opening murder mystery arc, takes to exploring the love life of Norman Bates, with an extr
