‘Under the Dome’ 3.06 Recap: “Always Cover Your
In the latest episode of ‘Under the Dome’, the Pod People of Chester’s Mill whistle while they work, we learn that aluminum pull-tabs can be used as deadly weapons, and Julia gets a much-deserved punch to the hea...
‘Hannibal’ 3.07 Recap: “We’re Going to Ha
I was so disappointed in the previous episode of ‘Hannibal’ that I put off watching the latest entry for a few days. (It turns out that NBC moved the show to Saturdays anyway.) Man, do I regret that. This is easily the...

‘The Last Ship’ 2.05 Recap: “Nerve, Men, Show S
If you were wondering/hoping/praying there might be some submarines in this week’s episode of ‘The Last Ship’, you may just be in luck. After last week’s fairly bombastic showdown on the Hospital Ship, the ...
‘True Detective’ 2.04 Recap: “Sometimes Your Wo
Hey everybody, it’s time to recap another episode of ‘True Detective’, the show that makes you pay close attention in order to unravel a mystery that you don’t give two hoots about. I’ve tried to give...
