NBC’s new adaptation of Rosemary’s Baby promises to be both horrifying and thrilling, including far more of the details from Ira Levin’s original 1967 novel than Roman Polanski’s 1968 film. As opposed to Polanski’s enforced two-hour runtime, this miniseries is set to air over four hours in two episodes. by Robbie Jones This.....This is it. This was the episode everyone has been waiting for since Season One. The episode most fans probably never saw coming, and the episode fans o f the book found hard not to spoil for TV viewers. This episode provided one of the most satisfying television moments in recent years, perhaps of all time, and nobody was disappointed. I am of course talking about the moment... ...When Shae left Westeros. Finally! Her voice was getting really annoying! by Robbie Jones Did you miss HBO’s True Detective? Well lucky for you, the show is now available to stream on Amazon Instant Video, Wuaki.TV, Blinkbox and Google Play. by Leah Stone With this week’s episode, we see the introduction of a character new to the SHIELD series but extremely well known in the Marvel Universe, Asgardian Lady Sif. In this episode she travels to earth to track down Lorelei (seen at the end of the previous episode) who has a history of controlling men through witchcraft and using them to take over worlds. Those of you unfamiliar with the Asgardian side of Marvel, Sif is Thor’s lover (Only in the comics, at the moment - Ed.), a warrior of Asgard and an extremely talented fighter. by Verushka Byrow When we left Grimm last, Adalind had made it to Renard’s place, with Nick and Kelly outside. Nick goes up to talk to the new parents and we see that there’s nothing Renard won’t do for his child – including pulling a gun on Nick should he come for the child. Understandable since he’s a parent, but not so much when you remember he’s the one that asked the Resistance to send someone to save Adalind and the baby. The Resistance sent Kelly, and she went to Nick, and now they’re there to protect the child and Adalind – why is he pulling a gun on Nick again when this is what he organised in the first place? Yeah. This baby makes everyone lose IQ points as far as I can tell. by Cookie N Screen There is something almost beautiful about being frustrated. That annoying tick at the back of your mind, scraping the truth into your head and as you gaze from the comfort of your settee watching characters do something incredibly stupid. That burning sensation where you want to throw a china cup to the ground, watch it smash into tiny bits and knowing it will never leap up into your hands, fixing itself. Mainly because that is the only satisfying conclusion you are going to get from watching a certain television; a smashed china cup isn’t going to fix itself. Hannibal, however, is enraging in this week’s episode and it is done in such an eloquent way it can be forgiven. Sort of. by Melissa Haggar Following on from the highs of a successful episode last week, ‘The Relationship Diremption’ sees the split of Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and a great love (no, it isn’t Amy) and he struggles to cope with the break-up, considering he has dedicated his life to the theory. It is rare that an episode in a series will be as good, if not better, than the first, but this week’s episode disproves the theory, as it was packed with hilarity and possessed solid storylines. by Robbie Jones Ladies and gentlemen, Sers and Squires, Lords and Ladies, Game of Thrones has returned. After an agonising year long wait, we’ve returned to Westeros to catch up with our favourite characters as the war for the Iron Throne continues. The last season saw Jon Snow join the Wildings, Daenerys assembled a new army and freed slaves, and the Starks met a tragic ending as they were betrayed by Walder Frey. So, what’s going on now? by Julia Lawson The shock departure last week has left everyone reeling and a big question hanging in the air: What does the Wicked Witch want? The mystery begins to unravel in a flashback to the past where it all began, as a green swirling cyclone deposits a baby in front on a travelling couple en route to Oz. Bright lights, green city… let’s get this show on the yellow brick road. |
