Random thoughts of a crowded mind
Read the latest reviews of my favorite TV shows including Game of Thrones, The Flash, The Walking Dead and more.
I took a break from The Walking Dead after the Richonne reveal. I never saw it coming but it seemed like everyone else had been wishing, hoping and expecting it. I spent days over thinking things and wondering if we were all watching the same thing. It was a ridiculous endeavour really. I mean I’ve …
2015 wasn’t a bad year for new science fiction / fantasy series premières but for me not all of them hit the mark. There were four shows in particular that I was looking forward to watching but they failed to slay me. Here’s my list: Ash Vs. Evil Dead Let’s start with a no brainer. I’m not …
When I heard that Steve Lund would be returning to Haven, I had hoped we would find out what happened to James Cogan aka The Colorado Kid, after the barn exploded. But in this week’s episode entitled Just Passing Through, Nathan and Vince travelled back to 1983 where we saw how James died. With only …
Having watched this week’s episode of Haven, I’m going to got out on a limb and say that Dave Teagues is not Croatoan regardless of what he stands accused of. It’s more than likely that as a halfling child from another world, it’s easier for the monster to take over Dave’s body and commit evil …
Enter Sandman could be considered a lesson in why Audrey shouldn’t be nice to people all the time. Remember back in episode 15, Power, where Audrey was considerate to the Sandman’s feelings? Well dude went and developed a crush on her. In this episode he has her trapped in one of his dreamless sleeps where …
In my review of last week’s Haven episode, Power, I totally called it when I said that Kira Fletcher was alive and that her fiancé Tony had a dark secret. Let’s take a moment to do a happy dance before discussing this week’s episode, The Trial of Nathan Wuornos. Last week I assumed Kira was …
There’s a serial killer running around and Haven is losing power at a time when Team Haven are dealing with a Darkness Trouble. The second half of Haven’s season 5 double episode return skips ahead two weeks. That means it’s been two weeks since Duke left town, leaving his newly created Troubled People behind. Team …
Haven is finally back after a 10-month long break. Despite the long gap between episodes SyFy are still calling these final 13 episodes season 5B rather than Season 6. I’m just grateful that we will get closure over the course of the season and talk about what happened in episode 14, New World Order. When …
Taking a leaf out of Arrow’s play book I’m starting this review of Green Arrow by jumping to the final scenes of the Arrow Season 4 premier before jumping back. Like what’s up with the gravestone? And are flash forwards going to be a thing? Please don’t let them be a thing, I’m so over …
Pretty Little Liars has defined a genre that I like to call Chain Yank TV. A series will fall into this genre when: the plot is so convoluted you have to suspend disbelief all the time for every mystery solved a dozen more are created the characters act in ways no real human would it …
Despite comparing Minority Report, to Blindspot and Limitless and dismissing them all as crime of the week procedurals I will be giving Minority Report the four-episode test. Just like Sleepy Hollow, I want this show to work. The fact that I even mention Sleepy Hollow should give you a hint as to where my head …
What do Minority Report, Blindspot and Limitless have in common? Apart from premièring this week these three new shows are cop procedurals trying to dress themselves up as something else. For the most part it’s not working and I’m not sure if either of these shows will be given the four-episode consideration. Limitless Limitless is …
