The Companions of Doctor Who

3/31/2014

Right now, Doctor Who is on that long break between the Christmas special, where the Doctor regenerated, and the next series. We have to wait till November for the next adventures, so I decided to compile all of the useful information on the New Who companions in a useful guide.

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland "To Catch a Thief" (Spoilers!)

3/31/2014

 
Picture
by Julia Lawson

It is with a heavy heart I write this penultimate review to the first, and last, series of Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. Running in parallel with this sad news, the storyline is becoming all the more grave as Jafar’s evil plan takes to the fore.

The Red Queen is encased in a glass coffin Snow-White-style. Will, forced to watch her stabbing, now has to deal with the barrage of feelings thanks to the return of his heart. Jafar’s father is still imprisoned in the castle dungeon and the Jabberwocky is still on the prowl…

And ‘hugging it out’ is unlikely to be on the cards for today.

Have You Seen... Orphan Black?

3/30/2014

 
Picture
by Verushka Byrow

To sum it up: Tatiana Maslany and every single writer on the show. 

Let me set the scene for you: Orphan Black is the story of Sarah Manning, an orphan, a con artist and a thief to boot, who one evening sees a woman commit suicide by train. Sarah is the only witness and the only one to see that Beth has her face. It makes her pause, just barely before she steals Beth’s identity and as the show progresses, her life. Beth is a cop, she’s successful and she has everything Sarah doesn’t.

Hannibal  - 'Mukozuke'

3/29/2014

by Cookie N Screen 

It is safe to say that if you haven’t seen season two of Hannibal as it has only aired in certain places, you need to curtail your behind out of this killer’s basement and not read on. If anything, because the complete effect of Mukozuke needs to be experienced first-hand and I don’t want to be the one to take that away from you. And finally, Hannibal has picked up and steam and is completely rolling with it. Not only are we provided with the emotional and riveting content, we get stunning gore too.

It’s a full fat meal that you will lap up happily.

House - A Retrospective

3/27/2014

 
Picture
by Melissa Haggar

Whilst it seems unlikely that a television series featuring a misanthropic diagnostician could ever be successful, or at the very least endearing; medical drama House managed to infect its way into viewers and critic’s hearts (and other bodily organs). With its original run from November 2004 to May 2012, and comprising of eight seasons, House attracted a wide audience following and managed to secure places on numerous critics list, as well as prestigious awards. And who was the title character of this monumental series, you ask? Well, instead of audiences getting the usual boyish young charmer, who manages to save everyone whilst keeping his coiffed locks in a state of perpetual perfection; viewers were introduced to Dr. Gregory House (played by Hugh Laurie). In hobbles the ‘good doctor’ who is abrasive, rude, and sarcastic – and a complete medical genius. Solving the literally unsolvable, House and his team at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital clashed horns regularly with patients, colleagues, the law and every single clinic patient known to man.

Once Upon a Time "The Tower" (Spoilers!)

3/27/2014

 
Picture
by Julia Lawson

With each episode of Once Upon a Time we learn a new lesson in how to better ourselves, with fairytale examples using more magic and intrigue than we’d come across in our day to day routine. ‘The Tower’ acts as a platform to explore how we present fear to ourselves and others… although it is a relief that in our real world a fear of responsibility doesn’t produce a ‘Dementor-esque’ stalker. And for the most part we don’t spend a large part of our ‘routine’ stumbling round the Enchanted Forrest hunting for magical hallucinogenic roots…

Guys, I don’t want to alarm you, but something big has happened. I....I don’t know how to put it. I can’t even believe it yet. But it needs to be said, as it is a moment in history to be remembered. Brace yourselves.....

.....This week’s Walking Dead had a happy ending.

Time Travel in TV

3/26/2014

Time travel is one of those tricky things. Because unless you have an in-universe explanation, such as alternate universes or acknowledging the pre-destination paradox, some pretentious pedant will pop up to complain that it’s not possible. But here’s the thing: time travel stories have been around for centuries, and that’s for a very simple reason. It’s such an interesting concept, the idea of being able to travel back and see past times, or see what the world has in store. Who wouldn’t want to know at least something about the future? Even with the moaners, time travel isn’t going away.

In TV, there’s generally two types of time travel shows. Some series have it as a main plot device, as part and parcel of the whole premise. In other shows, time travel just happens for an episode (or twenty) and characters have to deal with being thrown out of their element. Here’s a selection of both types – not the best, but just a varied selection of why time travel plots remain so popular.

Quantum Leap - A Retrospective

3/26/2014

by Helen Langdon

“Theorising that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr Sam Beckett stepped into the quantum leap accelerator - and vanished.” And the first time he did so was exactly 25 years ago today, going on to leap into various characters for five seasons and 96 episodes.

Chuck - A Retrospective

3/25/2014

 
Picture
by Michael Wilkinson

“Guys, I know kung fu!” From the moment I saw the trailer seven years ago, I knew I would love Chuck. And I wasn’t mistaken. For five years, the spy action comedy took us through a journey, and gave us the chance to know and love many characters from John Casey, the stereotypical soldier who has sworn his life to his country, and one of Chuck’s handlers, all the way to Captain Awesome (real name, Devon), Chuck’s brother-in-law. You can only imagine what kind of hilarious scenarios can come about from all of the possible mismatches.
