After five fantastic years, it’s finally checkout time at ‘Bates Motel’. I’m happy to say I was there from the very beginning, and have written recaps of every single episode. Does the finale do the show justice? Well, let’s just say the series goes out with a bang. The final episode begins where last week’s...

‘Bates Motel’ 4.01 Recap: “Let’s Go Home, Mother”

Shannon Nutt — Tue, 08 Mar 2016 20:00:19 +0000

When we last turned off the lights at ‘Bates Motel’, Norman had just finished going full Mother mode. He killed his ex-girlfriend, Bradley Martin, by bashing her head on a rock and then he put her dead body inside her car and dumped both into a lake. I’d like to say there’s still a chance...

‘Colony’ Pilot Recap: “The Most Important Day in Human History Is Coming”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 19 Jan 2016 20:00:18 +0000

While ‘Lost’ was on the air, Josh Holloway seemed like a breakout star who’d have no trouble finding new projects to exploit his particular brand of roguish charisma. Unfortunately, that hasn’t quite been the case. CBS’ idiotic ‘Intelligence‘ was canceled quickly, and his few movie roles haven’t amounted to much. Now he’s back on TV...

‘Bates Motel’ Still Open for Business, ‘The Returned’ Will Not… Umm, Return

Josh Zyber — Thu, 18 Jun 2015 13:00:03 +0000

This past TV season was a pretty rough one for the A&E network, and especially for producer Carlton Cuse, whose two primetime dramas on the channel both suffered in the ratings. After waffling over a decision for what seemed like an eternity, the network has finally delivered a mix of good and bad news. Despite...

‘Bates Motel’ 3.10 Recap: “Mother, What Have You Done?”

Shannon Nutt — Wed, 13 May 2015 13:00:52 +0000

The season finale of ‘Bates Motel’ turns out to be more of a slow burn that an action-packed endeavor, but rest assured that the ending, while perhaps predictable, doesn’t disappoint. The ending also seems to finally confirm that Norman Bates has gone past the point of no return when it comes to his psychological state....

‘The Returned’ Pilot Recap: “Life, It Prevails”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:00:42 +0000

A&E’s new drama ‘The Returned’ is the official American remake of the acclaimed French series ‘Les Revenants’. Unfortunately, its premise is uncomfortably similar to the recent ABC series ‘Resurrection’, which is unrelated but happens to be based on a book also titled ‘The Returned’. Confused yet? I didn’t watch any of ‘Resurrection’ so I can’t...

‘The Strain’ Pilot Recap: “We Got Ourselves a Dead Airplane”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 13:00:05 +0000

Vampires and killer viruses rule the Sunday night TV schedule this summer. At 9PM, we have ‘True Blood’ on HBO concurrent with ‘The Last Ship’ on TNT. Then at 10PM comes FX’s ‘The Strain’, which slams the two genres together. With the backing of esteemed director Guillermo del Toro, could this be a breakout genre...

‘Bates Motel’ 2.10 Recap: “You’re the Best Mother in the World”

Shannon Nutt — Wed, 07 May 2014 16:00:52 +0000

Although Season 2 of ‘Bates Motel’ has been a step down from the impressive first season overall, the last few episodes have reminded us how good the show was last season. I’m happy to report that the finale doesn’t disappoint. As the episode gets underway, Norman is still trapped inside the box that Nick Ford...

You thought that ‘Lost’ was over and done with just because the show aired its final episode? Well, it is. However, producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse made an appearance at Comic-Con on Friday to host a “Lost: One Year Later” panel and reveal a new “deleted” scene that should once and for all silence...
