Timeless 1×06 Review: Fractured, Not Broken

So, that happened. All of that. Which, to be honest, was a bit much. Is it all moving way too fast or is that just me? Can I get a moment to breathe? To enjoy my trio in, like, something…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×08 Review: “I’ll Be Your Mirror”

Love is weakness, Cora said once, a long time ago, but a show like this never forgets. And when I say it doesn’t forget, I mean it never loses an opportunity to prove that phrase wrong – again and again…

Timeless Roundtable: Maybe We Can Change Things

Five episodes in, Timeless is already one of our favorite shows of the new season – and with the break this week, we thought it’d be the perfect time to talk about all the things we’ve loved about the show…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×07 Roundtable: “Heartless”

That was a twist …wasn’t it? Maybe I’d been lulled into a false sense of security. Maybe I was just too used to the Evil Queen never getting what she wanted. Either way, Once Upon A Time, six seasons in,…

Frequency: The Art of Appreciating What You Have

I came into Frequency totally unprepared. I’d never seen the movie that inspired it, didn’t know any of the actors, and was totally devoid of 90’s nostalgia – or so I thought. My only interest in the show, and in…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×07 “Heartless” Review: When You Believe

There can be miracles when you believe. And yes, I just sang that at the top of my lungs. I’m a Disney girl, through and through. But hey, it fits. Belief is a very important thing. In fact, you could…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×06 Roundtable: “Dark Waters”

Family is what you make of it. Family is not just the people who share your blood, but the people you love, and who love you back. That was the message of an emotional episode of Once Upon A Time…

Supergirl 2×04 Review: Aliens Among Us

Supergirl is my fun, relaxing show. And by fun and relaxing I mean, a lot of bad stuff still happens – this is DCTV, after all. There are battles to be fought, lessons to be learned. But, for some reason,…

Timeless Gets Full Season Order at NBC

Are you ready for more Timeless? Because we’re getting more! (Though maybe not as much as we wanted – we’re greedy, after all) The show – which has just aired five episodes so far – has been granted a full…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×06 Review: “Dark Waters”

Wow. Did that episode bring the unexpected feels or what? I mean, yes, we were promised Hook backstory. We weren’t promised tears, a family reunion, a Captain Cobra adventure, honesty and a realistic look at what a relationship between a…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×05 Roundtable: “Street Rats”

This savior business is not as cool as advertised, is it? After all, it’s not just one big moment of …saving. It’s a constant struggle to save and save and just …save. People. Things. Savior is something you are 24/7.…

Timeless1x04 Review: Allies, Contacts and Women

Last time I got to review this show I talked about what a good Pilot it gave us and expanded a little on my hopes that they’d be able to keep it up. Four episodes in, the show has seemingly…

Check out the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life Official Trailer

A month. That’s how long we have to wait for Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. Just a month. Four weeks. We can make it. Right? Right? It doesn’t truly feel like we can, but we’ve waited this long.…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×05 Review: “Street Rats”

“Gotta keep one jump ahead of the breadline, one swing ahead of the sword… I steal only what I can’t afford. (That’s Everything!)” Well, yes, I did punctuate the beginning of this review by singing “One Jump Ahead.” But hey, it’s Aladdin. I…

Gendry coming back to Game of Thrones

The rumors have been flying for a while, but now it’s been confirmed. Joe Dempsie, who played Gendry in the first three seasons of Game of Thrones, is returning to the show for it’s seventh season. We’d already reported on…

‘Once Upon A Time’ 6×04 Roundtable “Strange Case”

Goodbye Mr. Jekyll. So long Mr. Hyde. We barely knew ye. It wasn’t such a strange case after all. This episode was way more interesting for what it presented in Storybrooke, and how our characters story-lines entwined with Jekyll and Hyde’s,…

10 Things We Loved About Legends of Tomorrow: Justice Society of America

It’s been two episodes, and Legends of Tomorrow is already way better than it was all of last season. No, seriously. Not a little better – but way better. This is surprising, considering they’re missing who was, arguably, the strongest…

Rocky Horror Picture Show Review: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again!

I was eight years old the first time I watched the Rocky Horror Picture show. The movie was already a classic by then, and I was too young to really understand the intricacies behind it. But I loved the music,…
