“Sons of Anarchy”: 5 most shocking deaths

November 21, 2013 StayTuned Staff

(WARNING: This post contains massive spoilers for several seasons of Sons of Anarchy, so if you’re not caught up, get thee to a DVD player or streaming device and make it happen.) It’s a dicey proposition trying to rank the most shocking deaths in a show like Sons of Anarchy. You always have to consider it a work in progress. To wit, I started this blog a few weeks ago after Lee Toric’s wtf death scene, before other assignments sort of put it on the back burner until time got away from me. Well, then Kurt Sutter and Company go […]

BBC America goes Greek with new “Atlantis” series

November 21, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

“He’s strong because his father’s a god, not because he goes to the gym every day,” Mark Addy told reporters at a summer press conference about his portrayal of the Greek demigod Hercules in the new BBC America series Atlantis — a portrayal that did not require the near-50 Addy to get in any sort of muscular shape. “Our director,” he continued, “the front page of her copy of the script has an old painting with Hercules peeing. Drunken, naked Hercules just having a pee. That’s the kind of guy that this one is.” And that’s the kind of show […]

Doctor Who: “An Adventure in Space and Time” tells origin story of sci-fi classic

November 20, 2013 StayTuned Staff

As difficult to comprehend as it may be in our geek-obsessed culture, there was a time when concepts like Time Lords, the TARDIS and Daleks all seemed a bit odd. Back in 1963, Doctor Who was just another BBC program, a quirky little sci-fi venture that had the unfortunate luck to premiere the day after President Kennedy was assassinated. Beyond that, the network was iffy on the whole idea, which was headed by a pair of ambitious yet untested producers, and starred a curmudgeonly actor many people felt was past his prime. But 50 years later, here we are, discussing […]

Sons of Anarchy recap: “Aon Rud Pearsanta”

November 20, 2013 StayTuned Staff

All right, so now I know why FX didn’t send along a screener for this week’s episode ahead of time. I mean, yes, it always help when doing a Sons of Anarchy recap to have time to process what you’ve seen, but in this case, secrecy had to be a priority. To say this is a game-changer might be underselling it a bit. So if you haven’t seen the episode yet — the title of which translates to “Nothing Personal” — run away, run far away, because you can’t unhear these spoilers. Let’s just come out with it. Halfway through […]
