Jane the Virgin Chapter 18 Recap: Monster-in-Law

April 13, 2015 StayTuned Staff

On Chapter 18 of Jane the Virgin, Rafael still doesn’t seem to be putting Jane before his hotel, leaving her supported only by a wall at a birthing class. Jane doesn’t need to talk negatively about Rafael to her mother to only further prove Xo is right about Rafael being the wrong guy for Jane. Instead Jane turns to Andie to vent, which might not have been the very best decision. Jane tells Andie the huge doubts she’s been having about Rafael and Andie’s advice is to stay calm because it’s only hormones that are making her feel this way. Yeah, I’m […]

Mad Men recap: “You’re nothing but a liar. An aging, sloppy, selfish liar.” Ouch!

April 13, 2015 Kris Babe

Mad Men recap, Season 7, Episode 9 “New Business” (original air date April 12, 2015) Mad Men Episode 9 New Business opens with a Don and Betty 2.0 moment — he’s in the Francis kitchen making milkshakes for their sons when she returns late from a function (some distant Rockefeller) and they discuss her evening. She’s enrolling at a university in fall, pursuing a master’s in psychology. “I know it’s beyond your experience, but people love to talk to me. They seek me out to share their confidences.” Don jokes that it should be fascinating for everyone involved, and they […]

Nurse Jackie recap: Season 7 starts with Jackie wanting her job back (good luck with that!)

April 12, 2015 Barb Oates

Nurse Jackie recap of Clean, Season 7, episode 1 recap (original airdate April 12, 2015) Nurse Jackie: “Clean” immediately picks up where things left off with Jackie facing the consequences of yet again some really horrible decisions (she bolted from the hospital, packed a bag full of drugs — thank you very much Eddie — was heading to the airport to go to Miami when she crashed into an ambulance). The season returns with Jackie at a holding cell at Queens Central. As she hands in all of her personal items, her necklace is the only item she hesitates to […]

Outlander Episode 10 recap: Oh wait, that’s Jamie down there

April 11, 2015 Barb Oates

Outlander Episode 10 recap: “By the Pricking of My Thumb” (original air date Saturday, April 11): When we last left Claire and Jamie they had made amends with a steamy romp in front of the crackling fire, with an amusing vocabulary review to follow. They both ended up declaring the other their master, and Jamie vowing to never raise a hand to Claire ever again. As Jamie readied himself to fetch them some food (all that sex leads to an appetite), Claire finds a wrapping of twigs and twine — very voodoo like looking, Blair Witch-style — under their bed. […]

“Daredevil” an effectively dark entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

April 10, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

Sure, colorfully outfitted superheroes soaring to great heights, wielding magic hammers, wearing iron suits and engaging in fisticuffs of the innocuous, blood-free comic-book sort are great fun to see on the big screen, hence the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and its box-office blockbusters like The Avengers, Captain America, et al. But once in a while, as comics fans know, it’s also fascinating to get down to street level, and all the grittiness and life-or-death battles down there. Covering those more (sometimes brutally) real adventures is the goal of a batch of Marvel Netflix series based on those more down-and-dirty heroes, the […]

End of the road for Raylan and Boyd in FX’s Justified series finale: “The Promise”

April 10, 2015 Ryan Berenz

Remember the summer of 2009 and FX’s announcement of a 13-episode order for Lawman, based on the work of the late, great crime fiction author Elmore Leonard? After six seasons, the tale of Harland, Ky., lawman Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) and career criminal Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) comes to a close on FX on Tuesday, April 14, at 10pm ET/PT in the Justified series finale, “The Promise.” “I will say that it is nice knowing that, you know, the show — to have an opportunity to know the end is coming,” Olyphant says. “Usually, when things end, I’m not the first person […]

American Crime Episode 6 recap

April 9, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

Even as horrible events continue in reality, such as the police shooting of Walter Scott in South Carolina this week, American Crime continues its gritty reflection of our reality. Looking at Twitter comments the past few weeks during AC episodes, I’ve noticed a theme among some viewers that are similar to what I have been feeling: American Crime, in its storylines, themes and presentation, can be so realistic that it is almost hard to watch. When you hear and read about, and look at, events such as the Scott killing, do you really want to watch a show that reflects a similar reality, or would […]

George R.R. Martin cautions viewers about shocking deaths in Game of Thrones Season 5

April 9, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

Game of Thrones fans have probably learned by now not to feel too safe in terms of what to expect on the show even if they have read the books on which the hugely popular series is based. And it sounds like they should be geared up for even more shocks when the show returns for Season 5 this month. “Everybody better be on their toes,” author George R. R. Martin warned Game of Thrones fans in comments made at the Writers Guild Awards in February. Martin, who wrote the novels, elaborated that, “people are going to die who don’t […]

Summer Schedule 2015: USA Network

April 9, 2015 Kellie Freeze

On Tuesday, USA Network announced its summer slate of new and returning shows. I was happy to see the return of familiar faces like Royal Pains and look forward to meeting new friends like Mr. Robot, which recently slayed at SXSW, and Complications. I interviewed Jason O’Mara about Complications for the June issue of Channel Guide Magazine, and he was an utter dream and his thrilling show is a total adrenaline-rush. It certainly proves the line from Wicked, “No good deed goes unpunished.” And, as you can imagine, I’m beyond the moon with excitement at the news that Playing House has […]

Better Call Saul Season 1 finale recap: Jimmy returns to Cicero in “Marco”

April 6, 2015 Lori Acken

No one can break your heart — or your will — like kin. And as we reach the Better Call Saul Season 1 finale knowing Chuck sabotaged Jimmy’s law career from the get-go, preferring his baby brother serve as his errand boy and not his equal (and, worse, that Big Brother McGill has every intention of profiting further from the Sandpiper Crossing case), it’s a stinging reminder that no matter how your adult years go, family has a knack for keeping you the kid who crashed the Chrysler right up unto the grave. The revelation leaves Jimmy at a crossroads. The only family member he has […]
