Recently Fringe fans around the world were estatic to find out that the Fox series was renewed for a fifth and final season. Fans, however, will have to wait awhile for those thirteen episodes, as Fox will air part one of the season four finale tonight.
In the same way that Lord of the Rings is an epic fantasy movie, to date there are two epic super hero movies and that's The Watchmen and now The Avengers. The difference between the two can actually be compared to characters their parent companies. Whereas The Watchmen is like Batman, dark and broody, The Avengers is more like Iron Man, charismatic and fun. Yet, despite not having boundary-pushing moral questions, the latter is no less epic than the former.
I'm not sure what I was expecting coming into this episode, but whatever it was, what we got was not it. And I mean that in a generally good way. Alaric's first actions as Esther's vampire assassin were just about as brutal as it gets, and things definitely look to be changing in Mystic Falls. (Which only makes the official fourth season pickup all the better!)

May The 4th Be With You
I have to be honest, when I first saw the promo for Common Law, I wasn't sure that it would be something I would watch. Don't get me wrong, it looked good and of course funny, but the promo didn't hook me. Then I watched the pilot and my whole outlook changed. Common Law is not just another detective drama, it offers a fresh new take on the partner dynamic.
With three episodes left in the season, the time has come for “Once Upon A Time” to start resolving some of its mysteries. After “The Stranger”, I only hope they step up their game in the final two. I get the sense the producers expected the events depicted here to be revelatory. Instead, I found them predictable and underwhelming. What makes this a shame is that, just as Robert Carlyle suffered through some sub-par episodes, this one wasted a fine performance from Tony Amendola as Geppetto.
Every once in a long while a movie comes along that is of such quality that you feel the need to applaud when the credits roll; a movie that to share the details of which would feel like a crime, because you would be robbing the potential viewer of the amazement that could be had. Cabin in the Woods is one of those movies. Given the state of this movie, and my wish not to be criminal, what will be discussed hereafter will reveal no story from the movie that has not already been revealed in the trailers. Trust me; it is that sort of movie.
As the final part of a three-episode saga, "Force Quit" has the task of resolving the "Matrix" situation completely and getting everything back to normal. And in addition, it also effectively wraps up the arc that began with the second half of season 4, when Senator Wen first arrived on the scene and the Astraeus project was commissioned. In that respect, the episode, and this 3-part arc, have been relatively successful. I still think that it's a bit of a let-down that the Astraeus's grand voyage ended up amounting to little more than a plot to kidnap Eureka scientists, in the aim of furthering their perpetually ambiguous goals.
