Dracula: Victoria Smurfit talks about Lady Jayne’s future on NBC thriller

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. […]

The Walking Dead recap Season 4 episode 5: ‘Internment’

November 11, 2013 Lori Acken

Given everything that happened during last night’s claustrophobic, emotionally draining, completely nerve-jangling episode of The Walking Dead — aptly called ‘Internment’ — it seems kind of a shame to jump right to the end. But, really, how do you not? The Governor’s at the gate. In those few seconds, the tidy bit of episode assessment I was about to do about parents and children, hope for the future versus hope for the day and the notion of sacrifice suddenly took on a dozen more tentacles when the cameras went sidling off to the woods and the man lurking there turned his […]

“Spooksville”: Newcomer Keean Johnson takes up residence in Hub Network’s scary town

October 25, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Spooksville is a show about a young man moving into a strange new place and experiencing a life he never expected or thought possible. Minus the ancient curses and interdimensional monsters, it’s not all that different from the tale of its star, Keean Johnson. The young star is getting his first big break as the lead in the new Hub Network series, which is an adaptation of the popular book series by legendary young-adult author Christopher Pike. Johnson plays Adam, who moves with his dad (Steve Bacic) to Springville a seemingly sleepy small town that Adam is expecting to loathe. […]

Tracy Morgan brings “Scare Tactics” back to Syfy; talks life without “30 Rock”

October 25, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Halloween is a scary time for sure. Ghost, goblins, life without 30 Rock. OK, so that last one might just be specific to Tracy Morgan, who for the first time since 2006 doesn’t have Liz Lemon to befuddle. But the boisterous comedian has plenty going on to stave off any fearful boredom. There’s his new standup special, which he was in the process of editing when we talked, and a marathon of new episodes of Scare Tactics airing Monday on Syfy. The hidden-camera show, where people set up unsuspecting friends or family members for pranks meant to bring them to […]

The Walking Dead Season 4 episode 2 recap: ‘Infected’

October 20, 2013 Lori Acken

After the mortifying revelation that something awful is in the air — or the water, or somewhere — in last week‘s Season 4 premiere of The Walking Dead, we open episode 2 in the dead of night, at the fence, where a flashlight-toting someone is feeding rats to the walkers through the chain link. Inside the prison, Karen and Tyreese are cuddling. Even with such a comely girl in his lap, Ty can’t keep his mind off of Zack’s horrific demise at the big box store the day before. Fingering the awesome ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS bracelet on Karen’s wrist (get your very […]

The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 1 recap: ‘30 Days Without An Accident’

October 13, 2013 Lori Acken

Fans of AMC’s The Walking Dead have been readying themselves for a whole new world at the prison ever since we watched the busload of Woodbury residents arrive at the end of Season 3. Some six months later, what a world it is — comparatively speaking, anyway. Solid steps back toward civilization. The Rick-tator (Andrew Lincoln) — brought to the brink by the brutality of his new reality and its effect on him and his family — is now Farmer Grimes with pens of ponies and piglets and thriving vegetable gardens. He’s also refusing to carry a gun, throwing one […]

October 9, 2013 Lori Acken

The Walking Dead fans, if Sunday’s Season 4 premiere has you wondering anew about stuff like the best weapon to clear a zombie horde, how to outrun the hungry buggers if you’re caught weapon-free, or whether the undead can really muster enough gumption to team up and take down a wall, MythBusters is here to ease your mind. The MythBusters Zombie Special premieres on Thursday, Oct. 17 at 10pm ET/PT on Discovery. In this highly entertaining hour, The Walking Dead’s own dearly departed (and re-departed) Merle Dixon, Michael Rooker, joins Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman to determine whether an ax or […]

The Walking Dead spinoff coming to AMC in 2015

September 16, 2013 StayTuned Staff

AMC has taken a shine to spinoffs, it seems. Fresh off last week’s news that Saul Goodman, the Breaking Bad character played by Bob Odenkirk, would be getting his own prequel series, the tony cabler announced today that The Walking Dead spinoff is a go. People were expecting, or at least speculating, on the Better Call Saul idea, but this one seems to have sprung up out of nowhere. Robert Kirkman, an executive producer who also writes the comic book series that serves as the basis for the series, will be involved, along with fellow Eps Gale Anne Hurd and […]
