Recap: Blindspot Season 1, Episode 17 — I See Dead People

Last week on Blindspot, Patterson (Ashley Johnson) seemed like she was going all kinds of crazy. That kind of behavior isn’t just worthy of a subplot, people. She was this week’s spotlight! • BLINDSPOT recaps: Episode 1 | Episode 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 | Episode 5 | Episode 6 | Episode 7 | Episode 8 | Episode 9 | Episode 10 | Episode 11 | Episode 12 | Episode 13 | Episode 14 | Episode 15 | Episode 16 “Man’s Telepathic Loyal Lookouts” (which, thankfully, translates to “In Almost The Last Place You Look”) picked up with […]

Jane the Virgin Chapter 39 recap: Party Pooper

With Michael and Jane’s wedding only a few weeks away, the festivities can begin! On this week’s episode of Jane the Virgin we get a special invitation to Jane’s bachelorette party — and Michael’s bachelor party. Jane is planning everything about her party, so it doesn’t end up like the crazy party where she met Michael. A gun was fired, strippers almost showed up, and Xo passed out on the front stoop. That sounds like the perfect party for Xo and Lina, so I think they have some mischievous plans up their sleeves to “fix” Jane’s perfect bachelorette party. Rogelio’s […]

In Syfy’s Hunters, Gale Anne Hurd wants to make aliens scary again — and she succeeds

Among her many feature film and television credits, Gale Anne Hurd (The Walking Dead) seems to return time and again to the sci-fi and horror genres, and especially to aliens. Hurd notably collaborated with James Cameron to bring to life the nightmarish alien queen of Aliens (1986), and she thinks it’s time to make aliens scary again. That’s part of her stated goal as an executive producer of Syfy’s new series Hunters. Inspired by Whitley Strieber’s novel Alien Hunter, the series, featuring Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck), follows a highly classified government organization known as the Exo-Terrorism Unit, which tracks and fights […]

Empire Season 2 Episode 12 Recap: The Dwight Walker Story

On last week’s episode of Empire, we saw Hakeem take the reins as the new CEO of Empire. While he’s still being controlled by his puppeteer, Camilla, it seems that Hakeem is willing to keep the business in the family. He’s allowed for Cookie to be the head of A&R, Andre to be the chief financial officer of Empire and president of Gutter Life Records, and for Jamal to focus on his music with Empire. I’m sure Camilla has a few words to say about all these decisions. Lucious is giving Hakeem three months as CEO before he’ll come crawling […]

Season 2 is upon us, Fear the Walking Dead fans, so let’s take stock. Liza’s a goner — but Travis (Cliff Curtis) and Madison (Kim Dickens) are that much wiser about walkers.

“You cannot save a man that doesn’t want saving,” Jamie said to Claire after being brutally crippled and raped by Capt.

With a new world and a baby on the way, happier times surely await the soulmates, right? To help provide more […]

Not so fast: Rush Hour TV series isn’t up to speed

A TV series adapted from a popular film franchise has the benefit of brand recognition and a built-in audience. On the other hand, the TV project is saddled with its own set of expectations and inevitable comparisons to the films. In the case of Rush Hour on CBS, the movies leave their TV adaptation in the dust. Chris Tucker played wisecracking maverick detective Carter and Jackie Chan played straitlaced Hong Kong detective and martial arts expert Lee in three Rush Hour movies. Now CBS is reimagining the interracial buddy-cop action/comedy franchise in a new hourlong series starring relative newcomers Justin […]

Empire Season 2 Episode 11 Recap: Life, Death and Business

With Lucious losing the Empire to Mimi and Hakeem going against his own father by siding with Camilla, there are high expectations for the Season 2 return of Empire. We last saw Rhonda as she was pushed down the stairs in her new home — the one that Lucious so willingly paid for. Since Anika is pregnant with Hakeem’s secret misfit child, it would seem that Anika is at the top of the suspect list for who’s responsible. Jealousy is one ugly monster. Rhonda is left crawling on the floor to get her phone and call for help. She doesn’t get a […]
