One of the central mysteries introduced in the two-part opening story of DOCTOR WHO’s Series 6, “The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon,” concerns that little girl in the spacesuit. Who is she? Why did the Silence want her in that suit? And where did she get the power to regenerate like a Time Lord?

Starring: Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman Writer: Bryan Q. Miller & Anne Cofell Saunders Director: Mike Rohl Network: The CW, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: April 29, 2011 The penultimate episode of SMALLVILLE is finally here, and “Prophecy” takes a few more gigantic leaps forward into solidifying Clark Kent’s (Tom Welling) destiny as the Blur …er, I mean, Superman. First though, there’s a bunch of messy business that needs to get tidied up (or messed up). There’s one more trial that Jor-El (voice of Terrence Stamp) wants to impart on Clark. So when he announces to Jor-El […]Read On »

Since Merlin has returned from his journey to fetch the king a new sword, and used his magic which cost the lives of both the swordsmith and his daughter; he’s gone a bit round the bend.

On Fox’s FRINGE, which has its third-season finale tonight at 9 PM – it will be back for a fourth season – the agents of the government’s Fringe Division answer to Lance Reddick’s stern but humane Phillip Broyles. This has been true both in our own universe and the alternate universe, although alternate Broyles perished helping this world’s Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) escape the government and get back home. Baltimore, Maryland native Reddick (previously a regular on THE WIRE and Matthew Abbadon on LOST) says he’s been having a great time as both Broyles, something he elaborates on in this […]Read On »

Sommers Network: The CW, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: May 5th, 2010 There’s one more episode of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, but this really felt like a season finale to me. The writers are going the way of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER season four, and the last episode will probably be a resolution episode from all of the fallout of this season. “The Sun Also Rises” is a well-crafted episode that […]Read On »

Cast: Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson Network: Fox, Airs Wednesdays and Thursdays Original Telecast: May 5, 2011 Last night, I posed the question if anything could prevent Jacob Lusk from going home this week on the world’s greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL. The answer is no. As he was sent home finally after being in the bottom three for the past three or four weeks on the show. It was only a matter of time in my opinion as there was a reason he was in the bottom for a number of weeks – he had gotten […]Read On »
