With major spoilers for episode eight, here’s what we learned from the finale. Why could Emily see again? Emily wasn’t born blind, but lost her eyesight as part of a degenerative genetic condition. (Jonathan isn’t her biological father, which he knows but Emily doesn’t). For an as-yet unexplained reason, she and Sacha are tuned into

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Still, in times of social distancing and quarantine, it’s nice to see some work is getting done behind the scenes at HBO Max. Indeed, the incoming streaming service from WarnerMedia announced Thursday a bonanza of new shows they’re developing with J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions—with

It’s nice to see Gregor back. His recent beheading really works for him. It’s a good look even if it makes conversation distracting. Nadja’s reincarnating recurring lover pulls his best Beeteljuice faces to mark his claim on his new haunts. It is hysterical watching the vampires flee from the spooky spectacle. It is also gratifying

I thought “Tear Me Down” was really fun, its challenging in some ways. But  I thought “Wig in A Box” actually became extremely challenging just because of the amount of people on it, and the intricacies of all the different costume changes. I would say that was the most challenging of the ones I was

If you don’t yet have a subscription to the excellent horror streaming service Shudder, then you probably have not had a chance to see Creepshow, the original anthology series based on the classic 1982 movie written by Stephen King and the late George A. Romero. Well, while we nevertheless strongly recommend that you check out

Quiz loops all that subtext in to its high-tension caper with an impressively light touch. The Ingrams aren’t demonised for their privilege here, far from it, but their social status is never not there. It’s in Chris Tarrant’s repeated mockery of the Major’s army title, and in the general assumption among the studio crew that Charles

The Last Kingdom 4 cast: a new rival for Uhtred New cast members for series four include Stefanie Martini (Doctor Thorne, Prime Suspect 1973) playing Eadith, Aethelred’s new love conquest, and her brother, Aethelred’s new right-hand man and Uhtred’s rival Eardwulf, played by Jamie Blackley (The Halcyon, If I Stay). Uhtred and Gisela’s grown-up daughter Stiorra

The Jack Bauer Sendoff It’s no secret that Homeland is often times viewed as the complement, or sobering counterpoint, to 24. Executive producers Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon were two of the creative forces behind the 2000s network drama and are the creators of Homeland. But whereas 24 was an often sensationalistic and enthusiastic about

Not ready to spill all of the details of her life, Ruby calls for a moratorium on personal questions. Still lust, history, and a contained space are working against them. Little details begin to sneak out; We learn that Billy is some sort of self-help guru and that maybe he’s hiding following a public meltdown.

Tales from the Loop is an unusual sort of sci-fi anthology show in that each separate story is united by a common pastoral setting and a dominant central family. This is no doubt in part because the series takes its inspiration from a series of unrelated but commonly themed paintings by Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag,

That isn’t a bad thing, when DuckTales want to it can go big with its action scenes. It’s just that we got a little taste of something deeper with Launchpad and I wanted more of it. As is that end of episode revelation does give us a little to chew on when it comes to

Julian’s disdain for magic, while falling in love with a magical person, should make for compelling drama. The problem is, his relationship with Macy doesn’t feel solid enough to hinge an emotional arc on. Their romantic connection feels mostly one-sided, even before she commits to ending it. Their feelings for one another are supposed to

Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 7 tells the stories that showrunner Dave Filoni never got to tell during the show’s original run, which came to an end in 2014. The new and final season consists of 12 episodes, covering arcs previously alluded to in Star Wars lore but never released in final form on

Siege of Mandalore The Siege of Mandalore arc is the next big arc of season 7 and its grand finale. It’s also one of those classic cases of jumpy The Clone Wars chronology. It occurs after both the previous fight between Maul and Sidious on Mandalore and the comic Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir. Since

Supergirl will be back with at least one new episode, but slightly later than anticipated. The CW superhero series had been slated for a March 26th return, but that return date has been pushed back a week. The latest news? Kara Danvers will fly back into our lives with a new ep on May 3rd

Maybe if Lyndon had made it back to Devs, Stewart wouldn’t seem to be so desperate. We learn that while Forest and Katie were hanging out at home, Stewart has somewhat taken over the lab—at least enough to have applied Lyndon’s multiverse theory to the machine, and to preside over it with the rest of

Motherland: Fort Salem Cast Motherland: Fort Salem follows three young women as they go from basic magical combat training to deployment (via THR). The leads are Raelle (Taylor Hickson, Deadly Class), a reluctant recruit whose mother was killed in the line of duty; Tally (Jessica Sutton, The Kissing Booth), a kind, strong-willed and curious witch who enlisted over her

Eadith (Stefanie Martini) British actor Stefanie Martini played the lead role of Jane Tennison in ITV crime drama prequel Prime Suspect: 1973, a younger version of Dame Helen Mirren’s celebrated character. She was also Lady Ev in NBC’s Wizard of Oz prequel series Emerald City. Here, Martini plays Eadith, mistress to Aethelred of Mercia (Toby

These are questions that we’re going to continuing to ask ourselves as we go forward, and what I can tease is that, should we get to a season 3, the ultimate fate of the three meth heads will tell us something much more specific and concrete in terms of our heroes’ understanding about the death

Among the less extreme surprises was how quickly Roswell seems to have wrapped up the mystery of Guerin’s mother. Will Michael and Alex move on to Michael building a spaceship of his own, now that he has a full schematic and a bit more of the materials, thanks to Alex finally handing over the piece

Westworld season 3, episode 6: “Decoherence”Debut date: SUNDAY, APRIL 19 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT)Do a lot of people tell you that you need therapy?Written by Suzanne Wrubel & Lisa Joy; directed by Jennifer Getzinger.          Westworld season 3, episode 7: “Passed Pawn”Debut date: SUNDAY, APRIL 26 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT)A real friend is one who walks in when

The Walking Dead was forced to delay its season 10 finale due to postproduction work being interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. AMC must have felt terrible about that because the network has now released a pretty generous sneak peek at the still-unscheduled finale. Not only is the clip lengthy, it also features the long-awaited return

While the stories in each episode of Tales from the Loop have a sci-fi twist, whether with time travel or parallel universes or mysterious machines, they are mostly grounded in life in the town of Mercer, Ohio. The Willard family is center stage much of the time, but even then Paul Schneider’s character George Willard

At least one of the hosts of the Sci Fi Fidelity podcast grew up with the original version of Amazing Stories back in the 80s, but both remember the hopeful tone of the anthology series. So the question is: does the Apple TV+ version, which still has Steven Spielberg’s name attached to it, live up

There are also plenty of updates that a new episode of Tiger King could include. As evidenced by Netflix’s tweet, the legend himself, Joe Exotic, is always available for a followup interview. News also broke last week that the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office was seeking new leads in the case of Carole Baskin’s missing second

Before the kerfuffle, Abigael attempts to make a deal with another female demon to take over the newly vacant seat at the table. This is the first time this season Abigael has even hinted at using her newfound power as the Overlord to pull other demonesses up with her. This is despite her entire motive,

What do you think you witnessed with these exorcisms? In terms of what we witnessed, we filmed five exorcisms in one day, and we show three of them in the episode. They were definitely some of the most unusual experiences I’ve had filming something. I certainly believe that every person that Vincent, the exorcist, engaged

Ahsoka herself shines in this new environment. Her dynamic with Anakin and Obi-Wan has charmed a lot of fans, but I often found the way she played off Anakin repetitive, which didn’t allow her to grow and develop as a character. In a new place, she clearly stands out from the people around her. Maybe

What the baby harvest and the DNA scanning have to do with that fear is a connection yet to be made. Could the aliens be planning to create a them-us hybrid to ensure the continuation of their species? A sort of genetic cut-and-shut, half bubblegum-monster, half human? Is it, as Bill says, all down to

Disney+ finally launched in the UK during the last week of March with a fairly robust library that included a massive collection of The Simpsons from its recently-acquired Fox catalogue, but there was a little rough with the smooth, as the streaming service decided to include just two episodes of its flagship Star Wars live-action
