TV Series that got the Axe Before their Time (and some that should've gone sooner!)

With countless new TV shows commissioned each season, it’s getting pretty hard to keep up with them all. There’s the effortless recurring beauty of shows such as Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, The Walking Dead and plenty of others. But how does a show know when it’s time to call it a day? Shows like Breaking Bad found the right time to put their stories to bed. And then there’s the other shows; the ones that can’t get it right.

This week our clone focus is on Rachel and Helena in the aftermath of Daniel’s death last week, and the consequences thereof.

‘You’re not a hero. You’re just a young man who got struck by lightning…’

Wrong!

The first full-length trailer for Arrow spin-off, The Flash, has emerged from the vaults of the CW and brings a lot of things to our attention. The world of this new show, which stars Grant Gustin as the titular hero, draws on ideas from several different superhero continuities (the new costume is a couple of horns away from being Dare Devil’s, for instance). The action takes place within the fictional setting of Central City, and Barry Allen (Gustin) is struck by a special form of lightning during his search for the evil super-powered entity which killed his mother several years prior.

So, the big day is here – Monroe and Rosalee finally get their dream wedding and we reach the end of this inconsistent and rather dull season. And I like this show.

For an episode that revolves around Monroe and Rosalee’s wedding, their entire role in the episode can be summed up in a few sentences: Monroe’s dad makes peace with his son’s choices. Rosalee’s very ugly grandmother’s dress gets ruined and she mercifully gets a better wedding dress. And, um they actually do tie the knot and I cheered – I half expected them not to finish the ceremony.

BAFTA Television Awards - The Winners!

Following on from the TV Craft Awards a couple of weeks ago, Sunday night saw the Arqiva BAFTA TV Awards. In a night filled with glitz and glamour, the best of British TV was celebrated in London. Sadly, the night didn’t feature Sarah Millican taking on last year’s Twitter trolls by defying social convention and (gasp) wearing the same dress twice. Read her words here.

This week’s episode of Fargo was a fairly lacklustre affair, especially coming straight after last week’s cliffhanger ending.

Despite being a weaker episode, the onus of this week was to deliver some much-needed exposition to the plot.

Arrow "Streets of Fire & Unthinkable" (Spoilers!)

So many heart-breaking and anger inducing moments have led to these two episodes detailing the final battle (at least, for now) between Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Deathstroke (Manu Bennett) and oh what an excellent finale!

The Big Bang Theory "The Status Quo Combustion" (Spoilers!)

As implied in its title, the Season Seven finale of The Big Bang Theory brought with it chaos, as the announcement of Penny and Leonard’s engagement prompted a downwards spiral for Sheldon. Clearly fuelled by the successes of the last episode, the writers continued to be on form, bringing together all of the characters to react to Leonard and Penny’s news whilst tying off loose ends most satisfyingly.

Hannibal - "Tome-Wan" (Spoilers)

5/19/2014

by Cookie N Screen

Penultimate episodes. Sometimes, they are great predecessors to that fatal blow or cliffhanger episodes that makes you sit at the edge of your seat for months until the new series. Sometimes, however, they don’t sit that well. They shift too quickly between plot threads and points they left dangling in the wind, trying too hard to tie it up everything for a satisfying conclusion. Luckily, for everyone, Hannibal fans know exactly what is about to go down in next week’s episode. But with Tome-Wan, everything felt a little bit flat for it to work, muddling within itself. After last week’s performance, it is a little disappointed.

Once Upon A Time "Finale Double Bill!" (Spoilers!)

In the form of Snow Drifts and No Place Like Home the fairytales as we know them were turned upside down and inside out – and not only are the traditional fairytales ‘tweaked’ but the established ONCE storylines that we have started to accept as the official real-life truth (yes... you know you have started to question the classics too…) are scattered with the introduction of time travel. An episode like never before – if you haven’t watched Once Upon a Time yet, I would strongly suggest you start before Season Four arrives. Or else you’ll be left in the dark… and the cold.
