The Borgias 2.2 Review: "Paolo"
By John Keegan
After a bit of a lackluster start, which honestly felt like Neil Jordan trying too hard to get the ball rolling again, “The Borgias” bounces back with a strong follow-up to events from the first season. While Lucretia continues to be the weakest link of the show, Juan Borgia finally comes into his own.

By John Keegan and Gregg Wright
Apart from the ending, this is still a relatively low-key episode. Much of what we've seen so far has been the forebodings for the massive conflict that is soon to ensue in Westeros. War is here already, but the scope of the conflict expands with every episode, as one new player after another is introduced. And seemingly all of them want the Iron Throne for themselves, except for Robb Stark. His fight is one of vengeance and independence, which currently makes him the easiest one to root for, at least in my opinion. However, I'm sure that viewers all have their own favorite team. The pre-season marketing blitz cleverly capitalized on this team-based division of the characters, so I'm sure plenty of interesting viewer data resulted from that.

It's Powerful Monday tonight on Syfy with the return of Eureka for its fifth and final season, titled, "Lost."Tonight, Eureka is back with a vengeance. The season premiere picks up where last season ended, with the Astraeus having disappeared along with the crew and unexpectedly Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield), before its planned mission to Titan. As in true Eureka fashion, they return, but with a potentially game-changing twist.
Grimm 1.17 Review: "Love Sick"
By John Keegan
As the season drives towards the season finale, the writers are definitely trying to improve on their game. While one of the core criticisms of the show is still left unresolved at the end of the episode, other factors balance that out and more, so the overall impression is that the show might finally be finding a solid direction.

By John Keegan
This episode is an effective follow-up to the previous installment, ramping up the final endgame with David Robert Jones and pointing towards the identity of the true Big Bag for the season. It’s been hinted since the fourth season premiere, but now there is much more evidence that the Observers are up to no good.

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
Continuing with Michael's increasing mental breakdown, the show has ventured into auditory hallucinations. Listening to instructions from a drive-thru ordering machine may be unorthodox, but that's par for the course with a show like this. It leads to a subplot that doesn't really go anywhere, and exposes the weakest part of the plot (the conspiracy) as well.

By John Keegan
In this episode, Jake tosses out a random number, demonstrating his superior otherworldly intelligence, while his father Martin is sent on a bizarre quest to determine the number’s meaning, strangers’ lives intersect in super-convenient ways, and foreigners who embrace Western values are saved by high speed internet. Sound familiar?

From the Webmaster:
Suddenly I noticed that the top menu bar was empty. I wasn't sure what happened so I went into the admin panel to check the menu - which is empty. It appears all of the menus items have vanished, and I have no idea why. I am hoping that it is something to do with the server upgrade, but I will try to find out. In the meantime, if you need a link to a specific article, please let me know, I can look it up in the admin panel.
Sorry for the inconvience
UPATED: Just found out it is because the server has been upgraded and is now running PHP 5.3. I'm looking into a way to fix the problem. Thank you for your patience.

Justified 3.13 Review: "Slaughterhouse"
By John Keegan and Henry Tran
All of the focus this season on "Justified" has drifted from three main villains in Boyd, Limehouse, and Quarles. The ignored small-time criminals were Johnny Crowder and Arlo. Being loyal lackeys for Boyd through the season can do that. One figures very much in this episode and the other sets up things for future stories in the next season. For now, Raylan goes hunting for both Quarles, who is suspected of shooting and killing his State Trooper friend. It's an exciting, often tense, dangerous journey through many parts of Harlan. The episode pays off a lot of the little subplots that were presented through the season, some in rather shocking ways.

By Jamie Ruby
Eureka, which is currently Syfy's longest running scripted series, will be returning for its fifth and final season Monday, April 16 at 9:00 PM ET/PT.
The series revolves around a Pacific Northwest town which is not what it appears to be. The town is actually a secret community of geniuses conducting top-secret research for the government, always contending with the chaos of strange events, often caused by said research.
The show, created by Jaime Paglia and Andrew Cosby, stars Coli Ferguson as Sheriff Jack Carter, Salli Richardson-Whitfield as Allison Blake, Joe Morton as Henry Deacon, Erica Cerra as Jo Lupo, Neil Grayston as Douglas Fargo, and Niall Matter as Zane Donovan. The series also boasts great guest stars this year as well. Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day, and Ming Na will be returning.
The season will consist of 13 all-new episodes and will pick up where we last left off with the Astraeus and crew having vanished just before their planned launch to Titan.
Earlier in the week, Colin Ferguson and executive producer Jaime Paglia talked to the digital media about the upcoming season and what fans can expect.?
