Teen Wolf Season 4, Episode 4, Recap: “The Full Moon”

July 15, 2014 StayTuned Staff

Teen Wolf Season 4, aired episode number four last night and kept the drama going with its nerve-striking suspense and heart-warming relationships. One relationship we see blossoming is between Sheriff Stilinski and Derek, as they search the hospital rooftop for clues on who or what could have killed the wendigo, Sean. Derek tells the Sheriff that someone else, other than the boys, had to be up on the roof because he could sense their fear. While Derek and the Sheriff are oddly working together to solve a crime, Scott has some news to break to Stiles. He explains what happened […]

FX’s “The Strain” offers unique take on the vampire genre

July 10, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

The catalyst for the beginning of the 13-part FX series The Strain is the arrival of a mysterious airplane, but co-executive producer Carlton Cuse, whose hit series Lost also involved a mystery about a plane, says that this was purely coincidental. “I wasn’t involved in the creation of that idea,” Cuse laughed during a recent interview, “but I think it’s a really good idea.” He’s right about that; the opening sequence of a plane somehow landing in New York City — with all of its passengers and crew seemingly dead — is a gripping, creepily atmospheric scenario, written and directed […]

Halle Berry is “Extant”

July 3, 2014 Kellie Freeze

In the near future, astronaut Molly Woods embarks on a 13-month solo mission to space. When she returns home to her husband and robot son, she doesn’t return alone … she returns pregnant with an alien child. This is the basic premise of the new CBS series Extant. In addition to its sci-fi and horror leanings, it has the involvement of legendary director Steven Spielberg as an executive producer, so expect a “sense of awe and wonderment,” says co-executive producer Greg Walker. “Steven’s expertise is crafting very relatable human and emotional stories that have extraordinary and sensational elements to them.” […]

“Sharknado 2” highlights Syfy’s “Sharknado Week”

July 2, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

Syfy’s original Sharknado was a social-media hit when it debuted last summer (though not necessarily a ratings smash, interestingly enough; more people seemed to snark about the film on Twitter than perhaps watched it). Naturally, then, there is now a sequel, which — after soliciting entries for a subtitle from fans via Twitter — Syfy and production company The Asylum have called, somewhat pedestrianly, Sharknado 2: The Second One. (A Sharknado 3 is also already in the works, set to debut in summer 2015, so Syfy is really going to ride this franchise until it jumps the shark, which may […]

“Legion” spinoff “Dominion” chronicles ongoing battle between humans and angels

June 12, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

In Syfy’s Dominion, we see archangels whose names may sound familiar depending upon your upbringing, but they aren’t often engaged in the most angelic behavior. The sci-fi/fantasy series is based on the 2010 feature film Legion, in which the archangel Gabriel waged a war of possession against mankind. Archangel Michael chose to side with humanity against Gabriel. Dominion is set 25 years after the events of Legion, with Alex Lannen (Christopher Egan), the child seen at the end of the film, revealed to be the “chosen one” that had been whispered about. Alex is a soldier in Vega (formerly Las […]
