First aired July 17th, 2011. Ben (played by Connor Jessup) is back with his family, and it seems being abducted agreed with him: he’s no longer asthmatic and can do over 100 pushups without breaking a sweat. Unfortunately, the spikes from the harness are still in his back and he’s developed Stockholm Syndrome since he…
I would like for it to be noted that, while this piece was written prior to the release of this Saturday’s Orphan Black, the information herein is still relevant (especially when compared to what actually happened for comical purposes). Also, let it be known that our review of the latest episode will be out soon. –The…
BEWARE: There is nothing here but spoilers and nightmares. This episode should probably just be called “Why the Hendrix Family Needs to Be Heavily Medicated”. While we didn’t get the all clones to the rescue Alison breakout scheme that Cos promised, this episode had a generous dose of Alison’s rehab madness. Fairly early on, Alison…
First Aired July 10th, 2011. After waiting for half the season, the mission to rescue Ben (played by Connor Jessup) is finally underway! Shockingly, with all the talk of getting him nobody took the time to think of a plan. Luckily big brother Hal (Drew Roy) manages to come up with a pretty smart idea….
First aired March 16th, 2014. With every new person who comes back from the dead comes at least one mystery surrounding their death. With all these puzzles to solve, there may not be time to figure out why they are being resurrected. Caleb (played by Sam Hazeldine) appears to be in great health, despite his…
BEWARE: Spoilage here. There is none. There is no feminism in Metal Hurlant Chronicles. Female characters are reduced to being sexually exploited tropes with absolutely no substance or characterization that would enable them to contribute to the plot of an episode. As I’ve mentioned in previous MHC recaps, women are portrayed as either sex symbols,…
BEWARE: I spoil. I am scared for Helena. Everything was okay in the beginning. It was beautiful. Here, let’s rewind a bit. Sarah and Helena go on their first road trip together to discover what happened to Dr. Ethan Duncan after Project Leda. This adventure is topped off by a sisterly tent scene and a…
First aired July 3rd, 2011. The mission to save Tom’s middle son Ben (played by Connor Jessup) is slowly underway. But, like a video game, there are several levels to complete before our heroes can go after the boss. In this episode, the 2nd Mass has to find motorcycles for transportation needs. Lucky for them,…
Felix Dawkins is the unofficial star of Orphan Black. This is not an easy task to achieve, as he shares the platform with a set of amazingly feisty and intelligent women. The task becomes more difficult still when realizing that Felix comes from a dwindling portion of characters that aren’t played by Tatiana Maslany. His…
First Aired March 9th, 2014. Nobody likes that feeling when they wake up not knowing how they got where they are. Eight-year-old Jacob (played by Landon Gimenez) wakes up in a field in China seemingly unable to talk and looking like he just came from a little league game. Jacob is shipped back to the…
If you’re really looking for something dreadful to watch, I recommend Showtime’s Victorian horror series Penny Dreadful. Not to be confused with the 2006 automobile horror film of the same name, Penny Dreadful boasts a star-studded cast of actors to inhabit its equally impressive roster of literary heroes. So far, it echoes the gorgeously gory…
Hello, and welcome to Catching Up! Over the course of the next few weeks, we’re going to take a look at a few shows that will be beginning their new seasons soon. By the end, we should be all caught up and ready for current episodes. It’ll be a fun ride, one you won’t soon forget!…
