THE PASSAGE and THE ORVILLE are both genre shows on Fox Networks, but the commonality would seem to end there. THE PASSAGE, in its first season on Monday nights, is based on a trilogy of novels by Justin Cronin. In THE PASSAGE, an experiment designed to help human health has had catastrophic results, leading to a breed of vampire-like Virals. Ten-year-old Amy Bellafonte (Saniyya Sidney) is infected with the virus, but unlike the adults, she has no bloodlust, only some very special abilities. THE ORVILLE, in its second season on Thursday nights, is the creation of Seth MacFarlane, who also […]Read On »

In GOTHAM’s fifth and final season, Episode 9, “The Trial of Jim Gordon,” airing Thursday March 7 on Fox, is a special one for series regular Erin Richards.

Barbara has major turns on a regular basis. However, the reason that GOTHAM Season 5 Episode 9 really […]Read On »

Like the WB’s ROSWELL before it, The CW/UPN’s new Tuesday night series ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO is based on the ROSWELL HIGH novels by Melinda Metz. Unlike the earlier ROSWELL series, ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO returns its heroine, Liz Ortecho (played by Jeanine Mason), to being a Latina, while making the main characters adults rather than adolescents.

Awakened decades later, they’ve been able to pose as human and join the community. However, […]Read On »

In Fox’s freshman Monday-night drama THE PASSAGE, a scientific project meant to cure a virus has gone very wrong in every possible way.

In Season 2 of Fox’s THE GIFTED, which has its finale Tuesday, February 26, the characters played by Emma Dumont and Grace Byers have gone on quite a journey together.

Byers’s Reeva Payge, who can kill with her voice, welcomed Polaris as mutant royalty. However, Lorna […]Read On »
