Sons of Anarchy recap: “Aon Rud Pearsanta”

November 20, 2013 StayTuned Staff

All right, so now I know why FX didn’t send along a screener for this week’s episode ahead of time. I mean, yes, it always help when doing a Sons of Anarchy recap to have time to process what you’ve seen, but in this case, secrecy had to be a priority. To say this is a game-changer might be underselling it a bit. So if you haven’t seen the episode yet — the title of which translates to “Nothing Personal” — run away, run far away, because you can’t unhear these spoilers. Let’s just come out with it. Halfway through […]

The Walking Dead recap Season 4 episode 6: ‘Live Bait’

November 18, 2013 Lori Acken

Well, well. Maybe ol’ Hershel is right after all and you really can come back from the bad things that happen to you here in the walker-pocalypse. Because of all the gents I expected to remain the epitome of ice-blooded, comrade-killing evil, Philip “The Governor” Blake is it. And yet, there he was, the most sinister guy we’ve yet to encounter on The Walking Dead, broken, abandoned and facedown in the street before the vision of a little girl in a window brought him back to his feet and back to life as a — gulp! — lion-hearted family protector […]

Boardwalk Empire recap Season 4, Episode 11: ‘Havre De Grace’

November 18, 2013 Matthew Grimm

Earlier this season, we explored inescapable theme in HBO’s epic period series Boardwalk Empire that everything, above board or below, appears to be a grift. In 1920s America, it was the national ethos, but it presents the thorny problem, Who do you trust when you an trust no one? For AC boss Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) and his African-American lieutenant Chalky White (Michael Kenneth Williams), this has become a particularly pressing question. For Chalky, his bullish attempt to dispatch erudite, malevolent nemesis Dr. Narcisse (Jeffrey Wright), saw the tables turned as Narcisse lined up with New York mafia boss Joe […]

November 16, 2013 StayTuned Staff

SPOILER ALERT!!! Do not read if you haven’t already seen last night’s episode of NBC’s Dracula. Well, it appears that Drac- er, Alexander Grayson (Jonathn Rhys Meyers) has his would-be mortal enemy Lady Jayne Wetherby (Victoria Smurfit) right where he wants her. After staging an attack where he then attempted to come to her rescue, before allowing her to actually finish off her attacker, Grayson has convinced the vampire huntress that he is devoted to her. Her guard is down, and now she will look everywhere else but her new American lover when trying to ferret out her next undead quarry. […]

Scandal recap: “Everything’s Coming Up Mellie”

November 15, 2013 Sterling Silver

Scandal recap: “Everything’s Coming Up Mellie” Maya Pope (Khandi Alexander) is alive! Olivia Pope’s (Kerry Washington) mom, who was thought of by me and numerous other Scandal viewers as a character who died in the plane crash, was actually in a jail. And, of course, Eli Pope (Joe Morton) — or, should I say, Neil Hastings — knew this whole time that Maya — or, should I also say, Omar Dresdin — was alive. However, Olivia has yet to find out that her mother is alive, so she decided to make her mother Pope & Associates’ new client. They quickly […]

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: “The Day of the Doctor” brings back fan favorites

November 14, 2013 StayTuned Staff

As the Doctor Who 50th anniversary celebration illustrates, to be a Doctor Who fan is to learn to deal with highs and lows, often all at once. For instance, along with the astronomical joy involved in an occasion like the show’s 50th anniversary episode — an extended, 75-minute love fest titled “The Day of the Doctor,” which will air in a global simulcast at 2:50pm Saturday, Nov. 23, on BBC America — comes the throat-tightening knowledge that Matt Smith’s four-year tenure in the role is ending. His final appearance will be in the very next episode, this year’s Christmas special. Why […]

Sons of Anarchy recap: “Huang Wu”

November 13, 2013 StayTuned Staff

I’m sitting here staring this Sons of Anarchy recap trying to think of any moments more tense than watching Tara (Maggie Siff) at the beginning of this episode walking around her house, unable to find baby Thomas, and fearing what has happened now that her husband, Jax (Charlie Hunnam) has come home. … Nope, can’t think of any right now. She eventually finds her husband and her sons in a scene that on a normal day would be quite serene, Jax holding his baby boy and watching his other son sleep peacefully. But now we don’t know what’s going to […]

The Challenger Disaster movie on Science Channel Nov. 16

November 12, 2013 Ryan Berenz

The Challenger Disaster movie on Science Channel: Science Channel’s first dramatic feature dramatizes the inquiry into the cause of the 1986 space shuttle Challenger explosion through the eyes of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman (William Hurt). Feynman cut through red tape to uncover breakdowns in the governmental, scientific, design and engineering communities that oversaw the space program. The 1986 explosion of space shuttle Challenger and the loss of its crew is one of the indelible moments in American history — a sobering gut-punch to America’s space program and a disillusive lesson that the most complex machine ever built is still […]

The Walking Dead Season 4: David Morrissey on the return of The Governor

November 11, 2013 StayTuned Staff

The moment that hordes of The Walking Dead Season 4 fans have been waiting for — even if they had forgotten now that we’re already several episodes in — finally arrived last night with a last-second shot of The Governor (David Morrissey) quietly, menacingly, observing the chaos at the prison. He didn’t say a word, and we couldn’t really see his expression, but you have to know that if he could have been aware of all the sickness and carnage going on inside those walls, it would have only warmed his black heart. It’s a testament to how effective Morrissey’s […]
