These two episodes, which step away from the central season arc of the locomotive disaster and the secrets of Susan Hart, see a slowing of pace after a high-octane four weeks. While in some ways, a change of focus is a little disappointing, in others it is welcome relief, and allows some previously-unsung characters to shine.

Black Mirror - "White Christmas" Review

12/17/2014

by Cookie N Screen

There is no denying that excellence often graces our screen in short satirical tid-bits called Black Mirror. The television series, written by the comical genius Charlie Brooker, first came to television in 2011; poking fun at political and social elements that have become to crux of our lives. Its highlights including the provoking The National Anthem, which saw Rory Kinear fuck a pig live on air, White Bear, a disturbing and terrifying look at social media and The Entire History of You, written by Jesse Armstrong but with no less thrills within it. Black Mirror is the crème de la crème of black comedy and when it was announced that it was doing a Christmas special, fans wrung their palms with delight to watch it. But did it live up to the hype?

Homeland "Krieg, Nicht, Lieb" Review (Spoilers!)

by Robbie Jones

Somewhat of a slow burner this week on Homeland, especially compared to last week’s stunning episode, but it all resulted in a tense climax with a shocking twist that’s left us reeling in anticipation for next week’s finale.

by Hayley Charlesworth

With just an episode to go before the mid-season finale, the true horrors of Mount Weather are revealed, while Clarke discovers the ultimate bargaining chip in making peace with the Grounders and rescuing Jasper and co. In a show that has not let up in terms of tension and intrigue, The 100 enters into its finale in spectacular, sometimes disturbing fashion.

Atlantis "The Day of the Dead" Review (Spoilers!)

12/16/2014

by Helen Langdon

Usually when Atlantis does death, the only victims are random extras with their faces out of focus. But “The Day of the Dead” saw the show kill off and seriously injure several of its named characters. Not entirely permanently, though, as this episode was Atlantis’ foray into horror movie territory, using the most Greek of monsters... zombies.

Once Upon A Time "Heroes and Villains" Review (Spoilers!)

by Julia Lawson

The ONCE midseason finale did not disappoint. The massive ice wall surrounding Storybrooke finally came down revealing a terrible secret, while the rest of the episode gave us a healthy portion of past flashbacks, heartbreaks and impending doom leaving us optimistic for future events (taking place in March… breathe everyone).

Constantine "The Saint of Last Resort" Review

by Graham Osborne

This week’s episode of Constantine manages to be both astoundingly good and frustratingly annoying at the same time. It feels like the show is trying to juggle too many balls at once, setting up an explosive second part to the storyline, but ultimately letting things get too tricky.

Cookie's Quizicle Countdown

by Cookie N Screen

There is a part of me that sits smugly on the tiny mountain of knowledge that I have accumulated in my vast 25 years. After all, unless you can compete in brute strength – Gladiator style, then the gauntlet must be thrown down in education and brain power. Trivia flies over the table and packs a punch into the gobs of those lesser in your intellect. And since I’ve been barred from all my locals for taking that last sentence too literally, I’ve resorted to afternoon and evening television quizzes to crack my knuckles with. All whilst sending a hearty verbal smackdown to any contestant who thinks Proust is a type of cheese sandwich filling.

Here are some of my favourites that allow me to be heavily obnoxious in the comfort of my own home where I won’t get beaten up by being condescending.

American Horror Story "Tupperware Party Massacre" Review (Spoilers!)

by Gemma Williams

American Horror Story has been a strong show since the beginning. Each season seemed to get stronger. Freak Show though? Hopefully, it’s too early to tell.

This week was a strong episode, simply because there was so much Dandy. We find out why he’s so rich and the things he’s willing to do for his own entertainment. He’s a charming, well groomed individual who is clearly quite intelligent. The juxtaposition of his character is fascinating and leaves you wanting to know more. Currently, he thinks he’s a God and is above the law. The jagged, rough camera editing really shows the state of his mind.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. "What They Become" Review (Spoilers!)

So, what do you do when your show has reached the mid-season finale?

You create something explosive. A bomb that changes everything, that confuses people, excites people, scares people, makes you curious, but then leaves you to wait for the debris to settle before you can find out what happens next.
