We have come to the penultimate chapter in the Spartacus saga, and the creators deems it fit to give us an almost full circle effect by bringing back the gladiatorial games. Well a version of it anyway. This time it’s the rebellion that’s in control of the games, and the Roman soldiers as the meat [ Read More ]
Finally!!! Season three of the Game of Thrones is here and if book three is any indication, we are in for one awesome ride. Because of the nature of the story, there was a lot of ground to cover in terms of introducing and reintroducing characters. To keep things in order both for myself and [ Read More ]
The end draws nearer to the series, and we are seeing so far some big losses. Spartacus and Crixus have finally come the end of their journey together as brothers in arms as they come to what the title of the episode suggests, separate paths. The episode does not hold back in reminding us were [ Read More ]
The last season of Spartacus is turning out to be it’s greyest season. While we see bad guys on both sides, we good guys on both as well. Last week we saw a softer side to Caesar when he took that poor girl out of her misery and it made us identify with him a [ Read More ]
Spartacus is now heading to that territory where everything is extremely grey. No longer can we look at Spartacus’ rebellion as righteous when we can clearly see that if the Romans were all under the boot heels of the freed slaves, they would act in the same manor. Case in point, when Crixus tells the [ Read More ]
This episode sees Spartacus’ plan to cease a city for shelter come to fruition and in doing so, shined a light upon him that may not be as attractive to the image of him being savior. There were layers of Spartacus on display here that I never would have thought the show writers would include. [ Read More ]
Spartacus returns for its final season with all swords drawn and a killer opening as Spartacus and the rebels lay waste to the Roman army. While Spartacus’ army grows larger, all seems lost until Rome decides to enlist the help of Marcus Crassus, a man we have heard about since season 1. It is poetic [ Read More ]
Before I get to the awesomeness that was the mid season finale, I have to address “quota” for black characters this show seems to have. Fan favorite from the comics, Tyrese gets introduced in in this episode. But as soon as he comes in, Oscar goes out, same as T Dog before him. I am [ Read More ]
After the insane events that occurred in episode 4, the next couple of episodes sort of took it a bit easy, while still giving us something exciting to chew on (Heh, saw what I did there?… No. Okay moving on). This episode however picks up the pace as Michonne arrives at the prison with the [ Read More ]
Am I dreaming? Did what just happen in episode four of season three of The Walking Dead really happened? I’ve often used the word intense when reviewing an episode of the show. That word just isn’t strong enough to apply to the sh!t storm that rained down on our heroes in the “Killer Within” I’m [ Read More ]
I just love it when a show is able to keep its momentum set from the previous episode, and that’s just what this week’s episode of The Walking Dead did. We pick up right were we left off after Rick hacked Hershel’s zombie bitten leg off. We find out that there are inmates who survived [ Read More ]
Wow…. Just Wow. Am I allowed to just say that and just leave it? No? Ok, ok I’ll tell you more about what I thought. The first thing to notice is that the opening minutes of the episode had no dialog at all. We see the precision killing of the walkers to clear out a [ Read More ]
This episode manages to keep the momentum that the show had since its pilot. Right off the bat, we see Sam having to deal with descension amongst the crew by throwing one of his own into the brig in order to keep the peace with the natives. We get to see some plot forwarding on [ Read More ]
Many people consider last season of Dexter to be far inferior to previous seasons. They believed the twist of the season was anything but. The sudden case of attraction that Deb felt for Dexter was unwarranted and the season ending cliffhanger should have occurred in season 5. I didn’t have such vile against season six [ Read More ]
Isn’t it great to be living in an age where a television show can garner the same wonderment and awe that were only exclusive to feature films? Gone are the days when we had to worry about budget constraints in creating a high concept TV show that could potentially blow the viewers mind. The only [ Read More ]
Revolution is the kind of show that presents an interesting premise, but you cross your fingers and hope the show doesn’t get cancelled. Serialized television calls for you to get invested in the characters and plots, so much so that if the show gets cancelled you feel like your heart was ripped out. Jon Favreau [ Read More ]
Some fans have been complaining that this season was light on zombie action and too heavy on the melodrama. Well the season finale is for those fans. The first half of this episode has ramped up the action to high levels. We begin with the zombie horde migrating from the city and trekking to the [ Read More ]
Wow. James Brolin really got Tommy Lee Jones down to pat. I have a feeling that movie goers are going to be praising his performance as much as they did Robert Downy Jr. when he played an African American. I still wish they would have went the intergalactic route where the had the MIB going [ Read More ]
The work shop begins this episode and Ivy is thrown off her game when she is sees that Karen is part of the ensemble. I guess knowing that her competition was just a hairs breath away. I honestly didn’t know where this series was going to go in terms of how serious or raunchy it [ Read More ]
Well that was unexpected. The feud between Rick and Shane that was coming since Rick reunited with the gang in season 1 came and apparently got resolved. Some might cry “anti-climatic”, but I can roll with it for now. Watching this season kind of reminded me of whats going on in the X-Men comics right [ Read More ]
So last week it was revealed that the part of Marilyn Monroe was offered to Ivy. I wasn’t expecting that revelation so soon but after this episode I could see how they can keep this season going. Karen isn’t completely out of the play. She is going to be apart of the chorus line or [ Read More ]
So it has begun. The schism between Rick and Shane is starting to heat up when Lori begins to see just how devious Shane can be. Listen, that guy is nuts out of his mind and Andrea could do well to stay as far away from him as possible. But it looks like with lust [ Read More ]
The TV musical has gotten a resurgence thanks to Glee. But somehow if that show remains the only musical on television, the genre may die a slow death. Glee has not been living up to the standard of its first year, with odd character developments and some very corny moments. Ok so it was corny [ Read More ]
How did they do it? How did they manage to keep me on my toes every episode? How do they bring such well-thought-out characters on the small screen week after week? How do they manage to make a simple line like “There are walkers in the barn” feel like a strong opener? How do they [ Read More ]
If I never saw the title of this episode, I could have guessed what it was. Secrets was the running theme from the start of the episode to the end, and the one who had to keep them all was Glen. You gotta feel sorry for the kid. He’s keeping two of the biggest secrets [ Read More ]
