Syfy’s “The Expanse” combines old-school space opera and sleek, modern sci fi

December 8, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

Syfy is billing The Expanse as the most ambitious series in its history, and from what we’ve seen, that shows. It has a look and feel that combines good old space opera with sleek science fiction, reminding us of Guardians of the Galaxy at times in its fun yet thrilling depiction of a future that — despite being set 200 years away from our time, when humanity has colonized the solar system — still has a lived-in look. There’s nothing tidy about this future, or its characters, especially rogue ship’s captain Jim Holden (Steven Strait, pictured). “We have the technology […]

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 7 Recap: Human for a Day

December 8, 2015 Scott Fishman

On this week’s episode, Supergirl deals with the loss of her powers after the fight with Red Tornado and gets a taste of what being human is all about. This includes catching the common cold and taking (GASP!) public transportation! She feels pain, appearing vulnerable, and the timing couldn’t be worse after an earthquake leads to the escape of a DEO prisoner in Jemm. The villain can control minds and plans to release the other inmates. Alex finds it hard to follow orders from Hank Henshaw as she ponders what he is hiding about her dad’s death. Henshaw has her stay […]

Recap: Fargo Season 2, Episode 9 – Motel Hell

December 7, 2015 Rachel Cericola

Last week on Fargo, we had one of the best installments of the whole darn season. So many characters were missing, but the entire episode was just awesome. The more I think about all of those exchanges between Peggy (Kirsten Dunst) and Dodd (Jeffrey Donovan), the more I realize last week had some of my favorite moments of this season — and the entire series in general. • FARGO Season 2 recaps: Episode 1 | Epsiode 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 | Episode 5 | Episode 6 | Episode 7 | Episode 8 This one was certainly a doozy […]

The Affair season 2 episode 10 recap: Daddy issues

December 6, 2015 Lori Acken

With just two episodes of The Affair Season 2 to go, the past and the present are converging, with Scotty Lockhart’s death still squarely in the middle. We open episode 10 in the now, as Noah, Alison and Gottlief pull up to the courthouse for Noah’s trial to find a media circus looming. Helen walks by with Dr. Vic (really, Helen? He’s hot, but ew!). Gottlief tells Noah and Alison to follow him and not talk to anyone. Then it’s time for Noah’s perspective on a day a year after last week’s events, when we left him stranded in the hurricane the night […]

Empire Season 2 Episode 10 Recap: There goes the Empire?

December 2, 2015 StayTuned Staff

On last week’s episode of Empire, we got to see the shocking kiss between Skye and Jamal. A new relationship might be budding, but we won’t be able to see much of where it goes — because this week is the Fall Finale of Empire. Sadly, this means we’ll have to endure a long break from our favorite show. The American Sound Awards nominees are being announced and Lucious already knows Empire artists will be on that list. Sure enough, Jamal is nominated for Best R&B Song with his song “Heavy,” but let’s see if he can be the first to […]

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 6 Recap: Red Faced

December 1, 2015 Scott Fishman

It’s alien versus android when our Maiden of Might tangles with Red Tornado this week on Supergirl. The great episode delves into the root of Kara’s personal and professional frustrations. She may be a heroine with extraordinary powers, but there is a vulnerability that allows us to relate to her. Even though Kara doesn’t consider herself “normal,” we see she goes through many of the same things we do. She has to sit on the sidelines with a supportive smile on her face while her crush Jimmy is with another woman. Cat is a demanding boss who is never satisfied. […]

Recap: Fargo Season 2, Episode 8 – Cabin Fever

November 30, 2015 Rachel Cericola

After last week’s killing spree, Fargo is stepping back a bit. Remember all of the unanswered questions from episode 6? This week’s installment tackles some of those — and leaves a few new ones lingering as well. • FARGO Season 2 recaps: Episode 1 | Epsiode 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 | Episode 5 | Episode 6 | Episode 7 That said, “Loplop” opened exactly where I wanted it to — back in the Blumquists’ basement. I wasn’t looking to see if Peggy (Kirsten Dunst) had stashed the June 1975 issue of Glamour within those monstrous piles, but […]

The Affair Season 2 episode 9 recap: Reckoning — or when it rains, it pours

November 30, 2015 Lori Acken

On this week’s The Affair, we spend a 24-hour (or thereabouts) stretch with all four of our main characters as a hurricane bears down on New York, lending extra drama to the myriad bad decisions that abound. The Lockhart case doesn’t really factor in at all. It’s just four people and the choices they make … and what it might say about them. 1 p.m. After a quick look at Alison cleaning her fridge, we begin with Helen, who is in a wine bar, waiting for a Tinder date. Deciding he isn’t about to show, she gets her check and does […]

Empire Season 2 Episode 9 Recap: The Truth Hurts

November 25, 2015 StayTuned Staff

Last week’s episode of Empire ended with Cookie and her sister Candice headed to Philly in search for their other sister Carol. Now that Cookie has to worry about her cookout event, she’s not worried about finding her sister Carol; especially if she’s going to have to search high and low. I guess it’s nice to know that this week’s episode shows Laura safe and practicing for the cookout with Hakeem. I definitely thought she was going to be bait for some twisted plan Anika had. What I will say is I wouldn’t let go of that theory just yet. […]

Supergirl Season 1 Episode 5 Recap: How Does She Do It?

November 24, 2015 Scott Fishman

On this week’s Supergirl, we learn that Kara may be competent as an assistant and courageous as Supergirl but she’s a horrible babysitter. We learned this when she volunteers to watch Cat’s son Carter so her boss can accept a media award out of town. But Kara is preoccupied trying to stop a series of bombs at various spots connected to Maxwell Lord’s tech company. The alleged culprit is a distraught former employee named Ethan Knox, who looks to ruin everything the mogul has created to make him pay for firing him. Alex is on the case and gets to know Maxwell, who […]
