True Blood review – 5×12: ‘Save Yourself’

August 27, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Well, we were promised a bloodbath! And since this is True Blood – the show that has yet to kill off a main character – we probably should have known that our favourites were safe. So what did ‘Save Yourself’ do right…and what didn’t work quite as well?

Let’s bitch it out… [Read more…]

It’s official, folks! After a few weeks of anxious waiting and hand-wringing, Showcase’s latest hit series Continuum used its Toronto FanExpo session to announce that it has been renewed for a 13 episode second season and will begin airing its first season in the US in early 2013. Details for S2 (such as return date) are still emerging, so we’ll update this space when they’re available.

In the meantime, be sure to check out our coverage of S1 here.

Congratulations to the cast and crew. We’re very excited to see where the adventure goes next!

Lost Girl review – 2×19: ‘Truth And Consequences’

August 24, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

If our emotional response to television shows is directly proportional to our investment in it, then Lost Girl has long had me wrapped around its little finger. And while this may help to explain why I love it so much, it also means that I’m much more let down when it makes a misstep. And then there are the events of ‘Truth And Consequences’: an episode that makes such an atrociously terrible narrative decision that I literally cussed out my television.

Let’s really bitch it out… [Read more…]

Awkward. review – 2×09: ‘Homewrecker Hamilton’

August 24, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

The truth about all things love triangle is out for public consumption and the sh*t has more than definitely hit the fan. Unfortunately for Jenna Hamilton (Ashley Rickards) things have gone from bad to worse.

Damages review – 5×07: ‘The Storm’s Moving in’

August 23, 2012 by tvangie

With only a few episodes of Damages left ever, we got everything but the kitchen sink thrown into this week’s offering. Even with every conceivable plot element crammed in all at once, the episode still took its time when it came to Patty (Glenn Close) vs. Ellen (Rose Byrne) in a highly-anticipated confrontation.

Let’s bitch it out…

Well Dance fans, we’re approaching the homestretch as the Top 10 perform this week with the much-anticipated All-Stars. How did this year’s competitors stand up to the past stars of So You Think You Can Dance?
