Syfy’s desperate attempt to lure a hard sci-fi audience back kicks off with Ascension, a three night event. How does part one stack up?

We’re up to the penultimate episode of The CW’s Ringer, and it’s time to tie up loose ends! ‘It’s Called Improvising, Bitch!’ wraps up all of the questions we’ve had about how and why and when Catherine Martin (Andrea Roth) put the hit out on Siobhan (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and there’s one twist that makes the whole thing sortakinda worth it!

Ringer recap – 1×20: ‘If You’re Just An Evil Bitch Then Get Over It’

April 4, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Now that’s what I’m talking about! As Ringer cruises towards its conclusion, the writers finally figure out that the show works best as a ludicrous melodrama and they pile on the gimmicks: a suicide attempt, a body in the freezer, and a cliffhanger. Plus: the world’s most honest maid staff. Oh my!

Ringer recap – 1×15: ‘PS You’re An Idiot’

March 1, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Ringer inches closer to its first (only?) season finale with a mixed-bag entry: several story elements were intriguing, while others were laughably terrible. So essentially it’s business as usual!

Ringer recap – 1×13: ‘It’s Easy To Cry, When This Much Cash Is Involved’

February 15, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

After a lacklustre Winter premiere, Ringer picked up the pace last week: Henry (Kristoffer Polaha) discovered Bridget (Sarah Michelle Gellar) was posing as Siobhan (also SMG) and Bridget began to put the pieces together. Does this week’s episode continue to show improvement? In a word: yes.
