For those of you who’ve been living under a rock for the past fifty years, Doctor Who is (aside from a sixteen-year gap between 1989 and 2005) one of the longest-lasting science fiction shows in the history of television. The series features the Doctor, a humanoid alien (called a Time Lord) who travels the universe…
Yep, there’s spoilers. It’s pretty clear that the creators of The Leftovers are bent on tearing apart families, ruining lives, and generally just freaking people out. With that being said, I wasn’t completely surprised when this recent episode offered absolutely no explanation for the disappearances, no clues as to what the hell is happening, no…
Warning: This article contains spoilers. The Lottery Competition begins this episode and this freaky futuristic world is taking parenting preparation to a whole new level. From day one, I’ve been saying wake up, kids, and smell the fish—this is a freaking prison, like “Harrison Bergeron”, like Brave New World, like…[insert futuristic dystopia here]. The potential…
WARNING: This article contains spoilers. The world of The Lottery is growing more and more intense as this episode opens with the announcement of the two hundred Lottery finalists. Bring on the super creepy commercials, robotic public announcements and scripted press conferences held by President Westwood (Yul Vazquez) and First Lady Gabrielle (Shelley Conn). Out…
WARNING: This article contains spoilers. Do you realize that someone dies every episode? Is that the real lottery? Who’s going to die this week? I’m not complaining. I love a good murder—this is Lifetime after all—just making an observation. Last episode, Vanessa was a bottle of broken glass and rain. Just a mess walking around…
The spoils are real. When I saw the trailer for The Lottery on Lifetime, of all places, I nearly toppled over. Lifetime premiered its new original series on July 20th, this being the network’s first trek into the world of sci-fi. Written by one of the writers for the acclaimed film, Children of Men (2007), The Lottery…
There are spoils here. We are now six episodes deep in Dominion, and the kids are no longer taking their fathers’ crap. Claire finally discovers the truth about her mother. Alex brings her to the vault where he keeps Clementine, unable to kill her. Against Michael’s best wishes, Alex wants to perform an eviction (exorcism…
Cophine-related spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk. Anyone who’s read my Orphan Black articles knows that I’d sacrifice my firstborn, drain my mother of blood and starve myself to see Cophine burst into flames, or rather simply Delphine all on her own. If I could rub a magic lamp and use my three wishes…
As a self-proclaimed and certified Newbie, it is my goal to throw myself headfirst into all things sci-fi, specifically peering into some of the most critically acclaimed science fiction based TV shows, movies, and literature! I check them out in pure tabula rasa fashion, with typically nada knowledge about the premise and letting the work…
BEWARE: I Spoil. This episode is dedicated to “Mission: Save Jeremy”! We find out that Jeremy’s wound is more severe than previously assessed. The blade that stabbed him last episode was coated in a toxin that was taking our Alpha out by the minute. While Nick is tasked with handling Antonio’s affairs, Elena and Clay…
BEWARE: I spoil. There was so much happening this episode! In my last article about Bitten, I played with the idea that perhaps the Pack deserved a little rebellion, and I still think that may be the case. Santos calls Jeremy and wants to address the violent ways in which the Pack upholds the law….
BEWARE: I Spoil. Mayday! Mayday! We’ve got bigger problems than psychos in Stonehaven. Jeremy’s leadership is challenged by a rogue Mutt. The poor guy, Samuel Boggs, knocks on Jeremy’s door and thinks he can take the Alpha down. Big mistake. Clay WWE’s him and punches some sense into him. Psh. “Word is the Pack’s weak.”…
