Cast: Sarah Jones, Jorge Garcia, Sam Neill, Parminder Nagra, Jonny Coyne, Robert Forster Writers: Jennifer Johnson, Daniel Pyne Director: Aaron Lipstadt Network: Fox, airs Mondays @ 9 p.m. Original Telecast: March 26, 2012 It’s not just San Francisco. That’s pretty much what we learned on the season finale of ALCATRAZ “Tommy Madsen”. Warden James (Jonny Coyne) has sent inmates from The Rock (and maybe other places) all over the U.S. Why he is sending these people to the present day – some 50 years into the future – is unclear. It actually is even less clear than when the whole […]Read On »

In “Garrett Stillman”, the Alcatraz retrieval crew is on the hunt for Stillman, a notorious thief that in the present day is once again up to his old ways robbing three armored cars in order […]Read On »

This week showed us just who has got what it takes and who does not. However, this isn’t rocket science here.  Most of those who did well last week, continued to do so this week and those who did just all right the first week, didn’t do so great the second week.

The last episode of season four aired in October of 2010, and the show JUST finally came back. Of course there was plenty of rumors as to what was going to happen when the series returned. The speculation alone of what […]Read On »

Wyman Network: Fox, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: March 24, 2012 It’s time for more big revelations in the first FRINGE episode after a month long hiatus. “A Short Story About Love” shores up the relationship between Olivia (Anna Torv) and Peter (Joshua Jackson) in surprising (and not so surprising ways). The focal point of the investigative story is a man named Anson Carr (Michael Massee). His face is severely burned, yet he has the desire to be loved. […]Read On »

Stars: Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder Writer: Julie Plec & Elisabeth Finch, Based on the book by L.J. Smith Director: John Behring  Network: The CW, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: March 15, 2012 THE VAMPIRE DIARIES has a habit of giving audiences slam bang endings when they take breaks, and really strong episodes to kick off the show when it returns. That is why the return from a break episode “1912” is so perplexing to me. It just wasn’t good. It was boring, and there was little or nothing going on besides a few minor revelations that really don’t […]Read On »
