5 Feb

arrow302

Welcome back, Arrowheads! So, Mr. Brickwell has managed to force the cops of Starling out of the Glades, despite the Black Canary/Laurel Lance helped Team Arrow trying their best to prevent that. Malcolm wants to skip town, but Thea is willing to stay and maybe face Ra’s and his League with dear old double-crossing dad. And Ollie has survived his duel with Ra’s with the help of Maseo and a seemingly estranged Tatsu. Well, here’s hoping he gets back soon, because Starling City is getting pummeled in bad news… Continue reading →

Are you the Maze Runner who can get them all out?

4 Feb

Finally had a chance to catch up on some DVDs recently. Top of the list was Maze Runner– not because I’d read the book but more because I liked the preview and Dylan O’Brien was starring. I like that boy on Teen Wolf.

Finally had a chance to check out The Librarians. (And you should too)

2 Feb

One of the first bits of original programming TNT did was a television movie called, The Librarian: Quest for the Spear. Twenty years later, star Noah Wyle and producer Dean Devlin teemed up to produce a series that continues the adventures of the librarians. Noah’s “Flynn Carter” led three films for TNT, and came to frequently guest star within this first season show as both a lead in and something to attract fans of the films. But the rest of the cast and characters introduced in the first episode were strong enough to carry the show without Carter being around constantly.

31 Jan
The Stargate SG-1 Season One Minicaps just introduced Teal'c to Justin Bieber's music. He'll be in restraints for a while.

Stewart here…

The team has made some interesting allies (Teal’c’s mentor, Bra’tac), some interesting reveals about each other (Teal’c left a family behind), and some interesting reveals about their universe (there’s “Ancient Ones” who may still be around. Also, Sha’re and Skarra: still not found. So with that, let’s jump in… Continue reading →

ARROW Season 3×11, “Midnight City” recap

29 Jan

arrow302

Welcome back, Arrowheads! So good news, everyone: Oliver Queen’s alive! Maseo and Tatsu are healing him up in a cabin, so he’s not aware of the crapstorm building up in Star City. The rest of Team Arrow seems to be splintered thanks to their boss being gone. Malcolm wants to take Thea before Ra’s shows up. Criminal “Brick” has enough manpower to lay siege to the Glades. But, there is one good thing that happens: Laurel gets into a Canary suit and starts fighting bad guys! So let’s get this party started… Continue reading →

Television Graveyard- plot 11, Charmed… still charming after all these years

27 Jan

The 90’s brought about girlpower- from Xena to Buffy to the Spice Girls. For a few years, every where you looked something was empowering young girls. This is a good thing, right?

ARROW Season 3×10, “Left Behind” recap

21 Jan

arrow302

Welcome back, Arrowheads! Hope you enjoyed the hiatus over the last month or so, but I have some bad news for you…Oliver Queen is dead. Yeah, the titular Arrow was killed in a mountain duel by Ra’s al Ghul (or possibly killed by that drop of that cliff, but let’s not dwell on that yet), protecting Thea, who got brainwashed by Malcolm Merlyn to kill Sara. Add to this, Ollie discovers Thea got some mad fighting skills, his mentor in Hong Kong years ago, Maseo, just got his membership in the League of Assassins, and if he doesn’t fight Ra’s, the evidence that Thea killed Sara will be released, sentencing her to death by the League (because that’s what dads do for their kids, I guess). And Felicity is discovering her new boss has a super-secret supersuit program he wants her to help in. So I guess the show’s over, which begs the question: if the show’s minus Arrow, shouldn’t we rename this show Diggle and Company? I mean Ollie’s dead, right? RIGHT? Continue reading →

Stargate SG-1 Minicaps / Season 1, Eps. 7-10

19 Jan
The Stargate SG-1 Season One Minicaps is sending SG-5 on a beer run. You want anything?

Stewart here…

Not much to recap here, except the following: the team hasn’t found Skarra, Sha’re, or run into Apophis. And outside of curing a anti-feminist society, curing themselves of a plague, and helping a society live longer than a month, they haven’t had much time for anything else. Anyhoo, let’s get to it… Continue reading →

Quickie Thoughts on Syfy’s New Friday Night Lineup

17 Jan

Stewart here…

Besides watching the new season of Banshee (a show clearly less “Nerdsquee” and more “WTFF?” territory), my Friday night TV watching is generally light. And with the recent news of the new season of Hannibal premiering in the summer (!), its going to be more so during the spring. However, as I had some spare time this Friday, I decided to check out the new lineup of shows on Syfy that night. Continue reading →

15 Jan

Dear TNT,

Keep up the great work. Continue reading →
