View Article‘Haven’ Series Finale Recap: “Do You Like Pancakes?”
After six seasons on the air (don’t buy into the network’s games labeling this last run of episodes as “Season 5 Part 2”), Syfy’s supernatural mystery ‘Haven’ finally drew to a close last week. Sadly,...
View Article‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ 1.10 Recap: “That’s Mr. Jefe to You”
Even if it has been pretty uneven, I still consider ‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ to be one of the most fun TV series on the air right now. The show wrapped up its short first season this weekend with a finale...
View Article‘American Horror Story’ 5.12 Recap: “We Started with Such High Hopes”
The ‘Hotel’ season of ‘American Horror Story’ finally closed its doors last week. Like many seasons of the show, this one started out with great promise but petered out over time. Also like many...

View Article‘The X-Files’ 10.06 Recap: “It Would Now Appear We Go Out with a Whimper”
I dreaded this. I knew going in that the finale of the ‘X-Files’ revival would tie directly to the awful season premiere episode. Somehow, despite setting my expectations as low as possible (is there...
View Article‘Agent Carter’ 2.10 Recap: “Everything Is Where It Belongs”
I gave up recapping ‘Agent Carter’ a few weeks back because, like most of the viewing audience and even its own broadcast network, I completely lost interest in the show. Given that last week’s season...

View Article‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 3.21 & 3.22 Recap: “Together to the End”
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ closed out its very uneven third season last week with a supersized two-part finale. While I don’t think it necessarily ties everything together in the grand finish the show...
View Article‘Legends of Tomorrow’ 1.16 Recap: “This Mission Is Not Over”
Throughout its first season, ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ swung repeatedly from goofy comic book fun to infuriating nonsense. The finale episode certainly doesn’t try too hard to make much sense, but it’s...

View Article‘Game of Thrones’ 6.10 Recap: “This Came Together Rather Well”

For a series that essentially started as a watered-down, basic cable knockoff of ‘Deadwood’, AMC’s Western ‘Hell on Wheels’ eventually forged a path to its own manifest destiny, so to speak. After five...

One year ago, I wrote about the first season finale of ‘Wayward Pines’ fully expecting it to be the series finale. Somehow, the show got renewed. Even though the second season didn’t start off great, I...
