Luther - A Retrospective

10/3/2014

Gritty and highly intelligent, Luther was a true gem amongst the stones of television shows. The British TV series crept onto screens in 2010 and was broadcast on BBC One. Like many BBC shows, Luther had relatively few episodes (six in Series One, and four in Series Two and Three), but every episode was packed full of quality; at every corner there was a different twist or turn, a new, exciting character was introduced or re-appeared and there was never a dull moment throughout the three series. Luther is perhaps one of those shows where you are truly sad that it was so short-lived, as it had so much potential to be even better and long-lasting, but considering how long production took for the episodes (there was a two year gap between series two and three) it almost seemed inevitable that it would come to a close.

TBBT "The First Pitch Insufficiency" Review (Spoilers!)

10/2/2014

Landing in this week is ‘The First Pitch Insufficiency’, which rather obviously references some inability with sports. So, just who could have some terrible athleticism? Well, with plenty of people to pick from, it was Howard who stepped up to the plate to showcase his absolutely diabolical sportsman skills.

TBBT "The Locomotion Interruption" & "The Junior Professor Solution" Reviews (Spoilers!)

The Big Bang Theory is back – and so is Sheldon, who returns forty five days after his departure from Pasadena with a refreshed outlook and ready to tackle any challenge. Only kidding! He’s pretty much still the same. Season eight opened with two new episodes for audiences to revel in, ‘The Locomotion Interruption’ and ‘The Junior Professor Solution’, the former covering Sheldon’s return to the gang and the latter focusing on his appointment as a Junior Professor so he can still study dark matter (and get a pay rise).

True Blood "Lost Cause" Review (Spoilers!)

After an enjoyable episode last week, it seems True Blood has reverted back into the lands of the dreary and dull, with an episode where nothing actually really happens...at all. Sure, there are some events, but they seem more like one-off’s, with the episode not being nearly as cohesive as last week’s. The episode drags on at an uneven pace, with scattered events that offer no real progression for the story following the death of the HEP-V vampires in the last episode. This was a major event, and one which offered resolution – but now it would seem there are no new events left to unfold (apart from what is going to happen to Eric – will he meet the true death, or will people find a cure?), and the ones that are, are probably going to be left until the last episode.

True Blood - Merchandise

by Melissa Haggar

We may be almost half way through the final season of True Blood, but the fun doesn’t have to stop there – oh, no! If the thought of being without your favourite residents of Bon Temps to look forward propels you into a downward spiral, then fear no more – because there’s plenty of new (and pretty cool) merchandise to fill that void!

Almost reaching mid series, the fourth episode of True Blood brought with it a whole new world of change. The character dynamics have slowly been changing from the get-go of Season Seven, but it was more than obvious in this episode that there is a new force to be reckoned with, and her name is Sookie Stackhouse.

True Blood "Fire in the Hole" Review (Spoilers!)

http://halloweenlove.com/true-blood-season-7-premiere-recap-and-thoughts/
by Melissa Haggar

With the second episode in the series shedding a bit of light on the gloomy tunnel that is True Blood, this week’s ‘Fire in the Hole’ seemed to transform the series back into its usual style – complete with flashbacks! At a much more even pace, the episode brought on some genuine emotion that has so far only been apparent in a few number of characters despite their serious life or death situations (although considering how many times they go through this it is any wonder any of them can muster up any energy anymore).

True Blood "I Found You" Review (Spoilers!)

by Melissa Haggar

After a relatively disappointing premiere episode, True Blood returns to form as the second episode ushers in new plot pathways for the series to take, whilst throwing in some well-delivered twists that make the seventh series exciting again. With plenty to get your teeth (or fangs) into, the episode was well stocked with interesting storylines centring on the Hep-V vampires, whilst viewers get a first look at Eric in the series, via a sultry sex dream with Jason.

True Blood "Jesus Gonna Be Here" (Spoilers!)

by Melissa Haggar

Here it is, Truebies! The long-awaited, final season of True Blood has begun, and kicked off in an especially bloody fashion with the Season Seven Premiere episode. After six seasons and a whole lot of crazy, the adventure has now reached the beginning of the end, with audiences keen to find out what had happened to Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) after his nude reading turned into a blazing affair in the final episode of the previous season, not to mention what fate would befall the other inhabitants of Bon Temps, as they can never seem to catch a break.

Xena: Warrior Princess - A Retrospective

6/21/2014

by Melissa Haggar

A true cult classic, Xena: Warrior Princess started as a humble spin-off of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, but soon elevated itself above its predecessor not only in popularity but also in ratings. The fantasy adventure series kicked its way onto screens in 1995 (created by Robert Tapert and John Schulian) and ran for six seasons until it concluded its action-packed journey in 2001. Xena possessed so many qualities that some TV shows now seem to lack – it had melodrama, ridiculous slapstick comedy (without being cheesy), action and adventure, whilst also dealing with complex issues like pacifism, sacrifice and concepts of morality and friendship.
