TV RECAP: ‘Arrow’ Season Finale – Episode 123 – ‘Sacrifice’

by Eric Miller, May 17 2013 // 8:45 AM

arrow-sacrifice-1

Things come to a head and all hell breaks loose in the final episode of the season.

Oliver awakens, shackled up in a basement. Malcolm tells Oliver that he is truly sorry for what Oliver went through on the island. Malcolm believes he is honoring his dead wife in the same way that Oliver thinks he is honoring his dead father. Malcolm tells Oliver that he cannot beat him, because Oliver doesn’t know what his fighting for or what he is willing to sacrifice to get it.

Oliver manages to escape, with the help of Diggle, as apparently Oliver had put a tracking device in his boot. As they are waiting to hear from Felicity on the schematics of the device, Quentin confronts her. She is brought to the police station, but before he can get to far in grilling her, he receives a call from The Hood. The Hood tells him what Malcolm is planning, and in light of this new threat, Quentin lets Felicity go.

Tommy goes to the club to confront Oliver about him and Laurel, but instead Oliver tells Tommy of Malcolm’s plan to level The Glades. Tommy lashes out at Oliver, and says he wishes Oliver had died on that island.

TV RECAP: ‘Grimm’ Episode 221 – ‘The Waking Dead’

by Eric Miller, May 16 2013 // 9:15 AM

grimm waking dead

Wesen of the Week: Cracher-Mortel

Adalind is with Eric when he takes a phone call from his father, the King. Adalind eavesdrops on the conversation, hearing Eric say that the family is in agreement. Something is going down.

Stefania comes to see Adalind, telling her that there is a way to trade her healthy baby to get her powers back. Stefania makes Adalind sign a contract without reading it, saying that it is now binding. Frau Pech is seen spying on this negotiation.

While waiting to meet with a Mr. Krieger, Frau Pech confronts Adalind. Pech warns Adalind that if anyone finds out she is carrying a baby of Royal blood, she will be worth more dead than alive. She tells her “Don’t let your womb become your tomb.”

Adalind, worried about Pech’s warning/threat, calls Stefania to tell her what happened. Stefania says she will speak with Pech and clear everything up. Chances are Stefania will probably try and kill Frau Pech.

TV: Check Out Previews for Some of CBS’ New Fall Shows

by Joe Gillis, May 15 2013 // 4:15 PM

the-crazy-ones-Williams-gellar

Even with all the cool announcements comng from Google today and through the rest of the week, we can’t forget it’s also TV upfront time so that means lots of TV announcements too. We’ve already brought you CBS’ new Fall schedule and descriptions of its new shows for 2013.

Now we’ve got previews of most of the new shows for your viewing pleasure. Among the list of new shows is Robin Williams in The Crazy Ones. That title kinda fits, but it is fun to see Williams back on TV in a new series. That might be one to check out.

As for the rest, your guess is probably almost as good as ours. CBS does seem to do pretty well with procedural-type shows so maybe that gives some hope that Intelligence will be good. They also do okay with comedies and that means, as we said before, Robin Williams and Sarah Micheele Gellar might have some luck with their show too.

Check out all the previews after the break. Any interest in any of these new shows?

First Look: ‘Once Upon a Time’ Wonderland Spinoff Coming this Fall to ABC

by Stephanie Coats, May 14 2013 // 4:00 PM

SOPHIE LOWE

It’s been denied by everyone. It’s been speculated about and rumored. Oncers have been yanked around for months but finally there’s an answer. The Once Upon a Time Alice in Wonderland spinoff is real and we’ve got the trailer and pictures to prove it.

Written by Once creator Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland begins with Alice (Sophie Lowe) recounting her adventure in the strange new land she discovered through the rabbit hole and with the mysterious genie, Cyrus (Peter Gadiot) with whom she in love.

Alice’s doctors and her father think she’s gone insane but before they can give her a treatment to take away all of her memories she’s saved by the Knave of Hearts (Michael Socha) and the White Rabbit (John Lithgow). They tell her Cyrus, who she thought to be dead, is alive. Together they return to the incredible and impossible Wonderland to seek him and new adventures.

Wonderland also stars Emma Rigby as the Queen of Hearts. Fans of Once will know that Regina’s mother Cora was the Queen of Hearts in that show’s brief visits to Wonderland. How then will Riby’s Queen factor in? Is this a sign that Wonderland and Once won’t necessarily have the same mythology?

Here’s a New, Longer Trailer for Joss Whedon’s ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’

by Joe Gillis, May 14 2013 // 2:15 PM

agent-coulson-1

Coulson lives! Take that evil dudes from another dimension, or anyone else with an attitude that needs adjusting. You know who you are.

Anyway, you might have heard ABC is bringing Joss Whedon’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to the small screen in the Fall. Yes? Okay, good.

Earlier, they dropped a short bit of teaser during an episode of Once Upon a Time. Now, there’s a much longer version for you to enjoy.

Don’t worry, you will. This looks pretty great.

Check it out after the break. Look for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Tuesdays this Fall on ABC.

TV: Check Out Previews for Fox’s New Fall 2013 Shows

by Joe Gillis, May 13 2013 // 3:30 PM

Almost-Human-Urban-1

We often make fun of TV networks and question the wisdom of their decisions. However, deep down we know it must actually be a very difficult job deciding what shows to give the green light to and which to send back to the proverbial drawing board.

So, it is with the utmost respect that we present a bunch of previews for Fox’s new Fall shows coming to your TV later this year. We’ve also included the new schedule so you can get an idea of what shows are coming back, when they’re going to air and what new shows you may want to se your DVR for.

For our money, most of these look like a lot of other shows we’ve already seen before. Again, we know it’s difficult and we know networks are losing audience to the Internet, but maybe more of the same isn’t the answer?

Anyway, we do like the looks of Almost Human, but the rest don’t really do it for us. It’s a good thing Fox has decided to bring back Jack Bauer for more 24. They may need to fill some space in the schedule pretty soon.

Check out the previews, and the entire Fall schedule, after the break.

TV RECAP: ‘Once Upon a Time’ Episode 222 – ‘And Straight on ‘Til Morning’

by Stephanie Coats, May 13 2013 // 12:30 PM

JOSH DALLAS, COLIN O'DONOGHUE

It’s the second season home stretch Oncers! Let’s dive in. We begin with our dear Captain Hook asking about the boy they fished out of the water. Smee says he’s fine and also smartly surmises that he was probably dropped by the Shadow. Smee recommends tossing the boy back ASAP. Below decks Hook and Bae have a heart to heart where within a minute the boy has told the Captain that his mother was killed by a pirate and his father abandoned him. Also, he hates magic.

Hook, proving to be more than a pretty face, puts two and two together and asks the boy his name. To my eternal disappointment he truthfully answers “Baelfire” instead of lying by saying “Peter Pan.” Hook is surprised by his good fortune and more than a bit pleased. He even hides the son of his dead lover from the creepy bounty hunters known as the Lost Ones (but really the Lost Boys) who come looking for him, presumably at the Shadow’s bidding. Hook hardly bats an eye when Head Lost Boy tells him the punishment for lying/disobedience is having your shadow riiiiiiipppped from your body. The band of not-so-merry ones departs and Hook’s impressed with Bae’s ability to stay hidden.

blacklist-spader-1

Now that pretty much all of the major networks have figured out their Fall schedules, the parade of promos is ready to begin. First out of the gate are our friends at NBC.

They’ve sent us several promos for their new Fall series including Ironside, The Michael J. Fox Show, Dracula and The Blacklist. In addition, we’ve included the network’s new Fall schedule for your perusal. Yes, you will probably notice that Community is abscent from the schedule. Yeah, we don’t get it either. At least Grimm still has a spot.

Anyway, check out the previews, new Fall schedule and descriptions of the new shows, after the break.

TV: ‘Arrested Development’ Is Back, and Here’s a Teaser to Prove It

by Joe Gillis, May 13 2013 // 8:45 AM

arrested-development-season-4-1

By now you’ve heard the great news: Arrested Development is coming back. We have Netflix to thank for the returin of one of the funniest shows to grace our TV screens in a long time and that day of return is fast approaching.

To get things started off on the right foot, there’s a brand new teaser for the new, 15-episode, season of the show. In it you’ll see the entire Bluth family is back (as well as a host of other famous faces) and still, thank goodness, just as quirky and funny as ever.

As with House of Cards, Netflix will release all of the new episodes simultaneously on May 26. In the meantime, check out the teaser after the break.

First Look: ‘Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Coming to ABC

by John Carle, May 13 2013 // 7:30 AM

Agents of SHIELD Cover Image Coming Soon

So if there was ever a reason to watch Once Upon a Time last night, we found it with the premiere trailer for the coming series, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. And look who is back… Coulson! The man who started out as an unknown supporting role and quickly drew his own cult following to the point where he became the spark that brought the Avengers together against Loki is headlining this upcoming series. While there are theories about how Coulson beat death (and sorry but this late in the game, you aren’t allowed to call spoiler on me for it), he will be heading up the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

From the look of it, this isn’t going to strictly be a super hero story as Coulson and his team aren’t powered up heroes. They are going to need to rely on their varied skill sets to take on the emerging metahuman threats in their world. From the trailer, you may spy a certain African American character with super strength (who speculation is already pointing to be the Marvel movie continuity first appearance of Luke Cage).

One great aspect to the show can be the introduction of such characters to the movie continuity without forcing too much of the film to revolve around their origin and instead focusing on the team dynamic or maybe even provide Easter eggs for characters like the Guardians of the Galaxy before their theatrical debut.

Neil Gaiman Promises Scarier Cybermen in his Second ‘Doctor Who’ Episode

by Stephanie Coats, May 11 2013 // 8:00 AM

DOCTOR WHO SERIES 7B EPISODE 7

Neil Gaiman is a geek god. He’s the author of several award winning books and comics including the series The Sandman and novel American Gods. He’s a Doctor Who fan and if he could’ve traveled with any incarnation of the Doctor, it would’ve been Patrick Troughton’s Second Doctor.

“Doctor Who was the first mythology that I ever knew,” he said.

Tonight Gaiman returns with Nightmare in Silver, the second episode he’s penned for the BBC America show about all of time and space. In Nightmare, the Doctor, Clara (Jenna Louise-Coleman), Artie and Angie arrive at Hedgewick’s World of Worlds, once the greatest theme park in the galaxy but now home to strange creatures and a terrifying new breed of Cybermen.

The Cybermen are not only one of the Doctor’s greatest enemies but one of Gaiman’s greatest passions. His first Doctor Who experience was seeing the fourth season episode, Moonbase, as a child. Swift and silent Cybermen were at the center of the episode and those villains stuck with Gaiman.
