The Borgias review – 3×10: ‘The Prince’

June 17, 2013 by couchpotato

“Winter is coming.” No wait…I’m confused about what show I’m reviewing. Ironically during this final episode of The Borgias, Caterina Sforza (Gina McKee) says it. Perhaps she’s a Game of Thrones fan. Unfortunately for viewers, this line sadly foreshadows the end of the series.

True Blood review – 6×01: ‘Who Are You, Really?’

June 17, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

True Blood returns for a sixth season of twisted sex, bloody gore and political shenanigans. So how will this show go on without the calming <snicker> hand of creator Alan Ball (who stepped down to focus on his new series, Banshee)?

Judging from the first episode, it’s business as usual.

The Best of The Borgias

The Borgias is coming to an end this weekend, with the final episode airing on Sunday. Since it pains me to think that the show has been cancelled, I prefer to look at it that the actors, writers and crew are graduating to go work on new projects. So in that vein, I have put together my thoughts on some series superlatives for the show.

Check out our thoughts and then sound off with your own rankings! [Read more…]

Continuum review – 2×02: ‘Split Second’

June 14, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Continuum tackles a genre convention – the prison transport heist – as Liber8 fractures into two opposing groups with very different principles. Plus: a little romantic backstory on Sonya (Lexa Doig) and Travis (Roger Cross).

Hannibal review – 1×12: ‘Relevés’

Everyone’s playing mind games in the latest episode of Hannibal as the house of cards surrounding Will (Hugh Dancy), Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen) and Abigail Hobbs (Kacey Rohl) comes crashing down. So who ends up under the wreckage?

ARGH!!!

It’s mid-season finale time so you know that Awkward. will break out some kind of major event. Unfortunately for us, the events are everything we anticipated – and dreaded – leading to a majorly disappointing episode going into the hiatus.

Teen Wolf review – 3×02: ‘Chaos Rising’

With the exposition addressed in last week’s premiere, we’re free to begin digging into the season proper. This second episode shifts focus to Derek’s (Tyler Hoechlin) missing pack members, though it appears by the end of the hour only one will be found alive.

After this week’s announcement that there will be no 4th season of The Borgias, this is now officially the penultimate episode of the series. In my humble opinion, this episode proved that it shouldn’t be.
