Last week, Rolling Stone dropped a casting news bomb for the Game of Thrones realm. As always, new characters will be introduced but it’s the absence of Bran Stark and beloved giant Hodor that’s causing a stir. While both characters have managed to stay alive in the series, actor Kristian Nairn, who portrays Hodor, told the…
When True Blood began in 2008, we were introduced to a new political world in which vampires had finally come “out of the coffin,” thanks to a Japanese made synthetic drink called Tru Blood. The series spared no expense on blood, gore and the most scandalous sex scenes we could think of. That said, I felt…
First of all, I’d like to say NO, Patti, I don’t understand. I’m so confused. Okay, let’s get started. As Kevin Garvey is preparing a lovely dinner to introduce his new girlfriend, Nora, to his daughter, Patti is hard at work laying out clothes, toys and shoes in the church that she bought from Matt….
I’m fairly certain that, at this point in The Leftovers, we as viewers should abandon all hope of ever learning exactly what caused the “Departure.” This show has gradually become less about why the human race is coping with such a catastrophic event and more about how. And frankly, as far as coping goes, I think…
First off, all jokes about stoning will never be nearly as funny as they were prior to last Sunday. I’ve seen a lot of gruesome deaths (being into Game of Thrones and all), but this one was so upsetting and brutal, really. What I’m suspicious about was what happened right before it: all we see…
How does Eric pull off that bored yet exhausted look throughout the entire fight scene? He only looks mildly irritated—that is until Pam calls out to him in chains. When they left Pam and Eric alone in the, erm, sun room to wait for sunrise, I thought that it was going to be some old-fashioned,…
Let’s get ready for tonight with a look back at last week’s episode! What is it about dolls and the creepy feelings they invoke? Is it their eternally frozen facial expressions or their soulless eyes? I had a doll that squinted when you squeezed it as a child—it really just looked like it was constipated,…
Welcome to TV Prep, where we get you ready for the day’s upcoming show(s) with reviews of earlier episodes! Today’s show is The Leftovers. –The Editor This might be the episode that I was waiting for, all about our crazy preacher man, Matt, played by Christopher Eccleston (the Ninth Doctor from Doctor Who). We begin with a prayer…
DAMN IT. I thought that I was so clever, we all did. Tara’s not dead, no way. They wouldn’t kill off Tara without even showing it, right? Pam just confirmed that Tara met her final end and I am so unhappy. It was said so early into the episode that I almost turned the television off and…
Dylan here. So listen, while we’re still celebrating the Veek of Blood here on SFB, we promised to have some normal sci-fi pieces running. Now, here’s the thing, this is a review of the first two episodes of The Leftovers. It’s not confirmed to be science fiction in any sense as of yet, but there is a lot…
