Finally exploring the infinite depths of the TARDIS, we indeed take a ‘journey’ this week on Doctor Who. Does this harrowing adventure prove as entertaining as it is informative?

Deal-breaker! That’s it, I am officially annoyed with this season. After a mediocre start to the second season, Smash commits a cardinal sin: killing off a character that I like. Also the writers decide to make one of the worst couples ever to exist on television happen.

Due either to the Boston City bombings or the unease of children’s violence in the wake of Sandy Hook, Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller elected not to screen episode 1×04 ‘Oeuf’. Instead, an amalgated version of the episode can be found as a six part web series on the NBC website that should ideally be viewed before episode five. If you haven’t watched them, it’s still possible to tackle ‘Coquilles’, though we’ll tackle both “episodes” in the following review since they both contain important developments.

After this back-door spinoff, I am all in on The Originals. Three of my favourite characters in a compelling city, with a werewolf oopsi-baby and a new villain I can’t help but like? I’m in.

After an extended break, Arrow returns with a fairly simplistic, mostly standalone plot that is saved primarily on the strength of a key guest star.

Awkward. continues its season three creative resurgence by returning back to basics: exploring the delicate politics of relationships. The key difference here is that nearly every character is given something to do (even Jessica Lu’s Ming!)
