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

Warehouse 13: The Living and the Dead Review by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(April 30, 2013)
Welcome back Warehouse 13! I very much missed the whimsical brevity brought by the Pete and Myka adventure hour. Many shows strive so hard to be gritty and edgy that they loose fun in the process. Thankfully Warehouse 13 continually manages to be engaging,

Da Vincis Demons: The Prisoner Review by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(April 29, 2013)
The third episode of Da Vinci’s is the first not to be directed by show creator David S. Goyer. Does anyone else have the impression that Da Vinci’s Demons is looking to try and rival Game of Thrones for most sub-plots? It’s nowhere close at this p

Arrow: Home Invasion Review by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(April 28, 2013)
After a two week hiatus Arrow returns with a busy, but enjoyable episode. Deadshot is back in town and Diggle is determined to make him pay for murdering his brother. A sting operation is setup by Diggle’s former associate of A.R.G.U.S. to trap Deadsho

Supernatural: Pac-Man Fever Review by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(April 28, 2013)
The Winchesters old friend Charlie Bradbury (Felicia Day), last seen earlier this season in “Larp and the Real Girl”, returns to help the brothers with a case where several victims have had their insides liquefied.

Doctor Who: Hide Review by Kimberly McCall, TV Critic
(April 24, 2013)
Creepy ghost in a creepy old house. Is any Doctor Who story really that simple? This week’s “Hide,” directed by Neil Cross, is a lovely brew of ghost story fun, time travel phenomenon, and monster love...literally.

Revolution: The Night the Lights Went out in Georgia Review by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(April 24, 2013)
The ragged Revolution band makes its way to the Georgia Federation this week on NBC, answering a number of questions along the way. Foremost of these: if a Georgia based spin off were made (Think CSI: Miami), what color filter would be used to differentiat

Defiance: Down in the Ground Where the Dead Men Go Review by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(April 23, 2013)
After the rush of world building, then the crash and din of battle we were treated to last week, Defiance slows its roll a bit to develop its characters. Yes, this is a character development episode which allots quite a bit of screen real estate to one on

Bates Motel: The Truth Review by Michael Henley, TV Critic
(April 23, 2013)
As one would expect from an episode titled “The Truth,” we learn some things on this week’s episode of Bates Motel. We also get payoffs to long-brewing conflicts, some low-key action, and we effectively close the book on the series’ first story arc

Game of Thrones: And Now His Watch is Ended Review by Jarrett Kruse, TV Critic
(April 23, 2013)
HBO’s Game of Thrones continues to delight and astonish me but this week’s episode hit a non-performing enhancing drug home run deserving of the A+ grade I have given it. I gave that grade just one other time in thirteen years of reviewing TV & Movies.

HANNIBAL: POTAGE Review by Johnny Destructo, TV Critic
(April 22, 2013)
We start off with a look back at Episode One's killer, "The Minnesota Shrike" aka Garret Jacob Hobbs, teaching his daughter how to shoot, kill and gut a lady-deer. The importance of using every bit of the corpse. The honor they will give her by eating her,

Defiance: Pilot Review by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(April 17, 2013)
Right out of the gate Defiance is an ambitious undertaking. Never before has anyone so thoroughly thrown themselves into cross development this heedlessly. Mergining a malleable MMO world with a scripted television show is a dangerous proposition, which is

Bates Motel: Ocean View Review by Michael Henley, TV Critic
(April 16, 2013)
So. I have to be honest. After the awful events in Boston, I must admit it was hard to get back into the spirit of Bates Motel, a series all about the psychological makeup of a budding serial killer. Stories like this appeal to us, I think, because they gi

HANNIBAL: AMUSE-BOUCHE Review by Johnny Destructo, Critic
(April 16, 2013)
This show is a recipe for…..ah, hell, for all of our sakes, I'm going to try my best to keep from using food-puns. I promise.

GAME OF THRONES: Walk of Punishment Review by Jarrett Kruse, TV Critic
(April 16, 2013)
The Game of Thrones continues to fascinate me and leave me wanting more in its third season. However I do have some minor issues when I look at the big picture. After reading all of the MANIAC’s comments for the last week’s episode, some excellent poin

Da Vincis Demons: The Hanged Man Review by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(April 16, 2013)
For months now Starz has been pushing Da Vinci’s Demons as the heir apparent ‘hit’ show taking the place of the now completed Spartacus. The show finally debuted after the Spartacus: War of the Damned series finale. Will it live up to the same leve

Doctor Who: Cold War Review by Kimberly McCall, Critic
(April 15, 2013)
Has the Tardis landed in a submarine yet? Okay, so this week’s Cold War was not exactly an epic jaunt into the unknown. Rather, it took us on a claustrophobic, creepy ride with yet another old enemy, not to mention a few character casting gems.

Spartacus: War of the Damned: Victory by Tim Janson, Columnist and Critic
(April 14, 2013)
Well thank the Heavens for Agron because until his timely arrival to save Spartacus I was THIS close to giving “Victory” the series finale for Spartacus, my lowest grade of the season, and perhaps the lowest grade in the series’ entire run. Ok so ma

Doctor Who: The Rings of Akhaten Review by Kimberly McCall, TV Critic
(April 11, 2013)
This past week's “Rings of Akhaten” may be the most crowd pleasing episode of Doctor Who in quite some time. Moffat took a step back from this one leaving the episode, instead, scripted by Neil Cross ( Luther, Mama).

Bates Motel: Trust Me Review by Michael Henley, TV Critic
(April 09, 2013)
This week’s episode of Bates Motel, “Trust Me,” is so far the series’ strongest installment, and also its most cohesive. For once, everything seems to be in synch: the off-kilter performances, the sense of small town menace, the peculiar supporting

Revolution: The Song Remains the Same Review by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(April 09, 2013)
For the first time in the series' history, my allegiance shifted from the rebels to the republic. As the delightful Captain Neville is cruising down an abandoned highway in an amplifier powered Humvee, grooving to the soulful sounds of Lionel Richie courte
