Why the Brilliance of ‘The Following’ may cause it to lose a follower (Spoilers)

2/28/2013

I begin this having not watched the latest two episodes, because I am afraid that, once I do, I’ll have to delete its recording status every Monday from my DVR timer list and lose out on something amazing, simply because of what makes it amazing. Let me digress slightly by saying I love this show: Kevin Bacon turns in an amazing performance as Ryan Hardy, a disgraced former FBI agent turned alcoholic, and James Purefoy is deliciously evil as the charismatic, engaging, Poe-channeling serial killer Joe Carroll. The supporting roles are done superbly well, and the story is all too easy to lose yourself in, sitting on the edge of your seat while holding your breath, waiting for the next twist to wrench your heart.

The Walking Dead - 'I ain't a Judas' (Spoilers)

2/27/2013

By Christian Kern

The 11th episode of the current series, I ain't a Judas, is an interesting episode in this second half of season 3. It picks up a little after the previous episodes explosive cliffhanger; for those of you who didn't watch last week, shame on you again, there is no reprieve for spoilers of episodes a week old, so if you are wishing to be surprised then read no further.

In 2010, Yaniv Schulman fell in love online. Abigail was the perfect woman; gorgeous, funny, caring and talented. There was just one catch - Abigail wasn't actually real. When Abby turned out to be a slightly odd middle-aged lady named Angela, Nev was heartbroken.

Cookie 'N' Screen's Guilty Pleasures: Glee

By Cookie 'N' Screen

Glee. Wow, I’ve just heard your collective laptops shut and the deafening boom from the roll of your eyes. I’ll wait for you to re-start. Ok, are you still with me? I’ll start again; Glee. Now wait a minute, before you walk away from me declaring my opinion moot, let me explain myself; I’m a Gleek. That doesn’t really help my cause much but if you give me just a moment of your time and 500 (ish) words I’ll explain exactly why Glee is genius in a really bad way. This is guilty pleasures piece after all and my fiendish eye extends to the television too. I therefore recognise Glee as a brilliantly terrible television show. I’m not condemning, I’m not condoning. I’m embracing.

Well, for anyone who hasn’t seen it you’re probably wondering, who is Jessica Hyde? And what does she have to do with Rabbits?

The Following - Be part of it

The fact that the FBI estimates that three hundred serial killers operate in the USA is scary enough, imagine if those killers were able to communicate, collaborate and co-ordinate? That's the terrifying premise of Fox's hit new show The Following, starring the phenomenal Kevin Bacon.

The Walking Dead - 'Home' (Spoilers)

By Christian Kern

Again, The Waking Dead proved to be an amazing piece of Sunday night television. Both Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) and David Morrissey (The Governor) continue to be two of the best things about The Walking Dead adding to its weekly success of being a fantastic television show. This writer may have included some spoilers but he promises that he did not spoil the end for you!

Have you seen...? - Phineas and Ferb

2/15/2013

By Heather Stromski

As a child, I remember watching the typical cartoons on Saturday morning. X-Men, Spiderman, EEEK! Real Monsters!, The Tick, so on and so forth. They were entertaining. My husband and I enjoy watching the old cartoons on Netflix now, and introducing them to our brood. However, what I remember has nothing on what’s available today. I’m talking about one children’s show in particular. It’s ‘Phineas and Ferb’, part of Disney’s animated lineup and available on their ‘Disney XD’ channel.

Merlin - Retrospective (Spoilers)

2/12/2013

By Helen Fulton

When I found out that BBC 1's hit Saturday night TV show Merlin was coming to an end, I must admit I shed a tear. I have been a Merlin fan since episode 1 aired on the 20th September 2008; that's 5 whole years of my life dedicated to the fandom of Merlin.

However, the final episodes have aired and the final box-sets have been delivered to my door. I was very pleased with how the writers left it with no loose ends, that every question was answered. I know more than anything that if there were any loose ends, I would search the Internet for potential answers.
