Outlander – “By The Pricking of My Thumb” Review. Witch, Please!

<i>Outlander</i> – “By The Pricking of My Thumb” Review. Witch, Please! 2

Filler episode at best, “By the Pricking of My Thumb” leaves me wanting. The tiny bit of action, both in and out of the bedroom, provides some excitement during the hour, but I must be honest, this episode is not one of my favorites.

Lifetime Movie <i>Seeds of Yesterday</i> Retrospective. The Final Chapter. 3

As the conclusion to V.C. Andrew’s Dollanganger series that began with Flowers in the Attic (Flowers), Lifetime presents the final installment, Seeds of Yesterday (Seeds). Although there technically may not be any incest or children locked in attics in Seeds, this television movie has as much juicy drama as all three of its previous stories.

Grimm – “Hibernaculum” Recap. Colder Than a Witch’s You Know What.

<i>Grimm</i> – “Hibernaculum” Recap. Colder Than a Witch’s You Know What. 5

Time is of the essence in “Hibernaculum” with strange new Wesen arriving in Portland who freeze their victims, and Hexenbiests gone wild. This week’s installment of Grimm takes us on one helluva ride where reality is becoming blurred and the past has a way of creeping up on some of our beloved characters. From Monroe (Silas Wier Mitchell) reliving the nightmare he endured in “Wesenrein” and “Tribunal,” to Captain Sean Renard (Sasha Roiz) remembering every detail of being shot and having visions of an evil from beyond, things get a bit frightening in “Hibernaculum.”

If you haven’t heard of Wayward Pines, then hold on to your sanity because this is one show that will test your nerves. Based on the book series by Blake Crouch, the 10-episode limited series of the same name, Wayward Pines, is reminiscent of shows like Twin Peaks and Happy Town which were both ominous and chilling at times. It also has elements of movies like The Village and Signs in the sense that you aren’t sure if people are who they say they are or if the things that go bump in the night are from this world. Coincidentally, the director of these two films, Oscar® and Golden Globe® nominee M. Night Shyamalan, is one of the executive producers of Wayward Pines and directs an episode.

Vikings – “To the Gates” Top Five Moments. The Fury of a Patient Man.

<i>Vikings</i> – “To the Gates” Top Five Moments. The Fury of a Patient Man. 10

Ever since the premiere of season three of Vikings, the show’s promos have made it clear we should expect the Northmen to raid Paris before the season finale. Personally, I’ve hardly been able to contain my anticipation for what series creator/writer Michael Hirst might have in store for us, especially since I love it when the Vikings head to new territories. But with all the ongoing buzz about Vikings, will the Paris raid turn out to be an epic moment for Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) and the Northmen, or will it be a huge bust?

After watching the screener of the series premiere of #TheMessengers, I was elated to get into the press room to talk with some of the cast of The CW’s new show. The first episode, “Awakening,” introduces us to many of the characters who were “chosen” to be messengers. “Awakening” doesn’t actually confirm or deny these are messengers of God, but when you see the characters’ reflections, they are all angelically winged.

The Americans – “One Day in the Life of Anton Baklanov” Retrospective. Difficult Times Ahead

<i>The Americans</i> – “One Day in the Life of Anton Baklanov” Retrospective. Difficult Times Ahead 17

“One Day in the Life of Anton Baklanov” is another standalone episode that does a good job of handling the raw emotions of the three Jennings—Philip, Elizabeth, and Paige, as well as dealing with all the subplots in this season of The Americans. I particularly enjoyed the way director Andrew Bernstein uses the headlights from Elizabeth’s car to cast light on her face in the dark garage as she contemplates how to handle the mess with Paige going forward.

Justified – “Collateral” Review. The Legend of Boyd Crowder Begins. 19

As penultimate episodes go, especially in a final season, “Collateral” leaves much to be desired. While there are some tense moments, what transpires in “Collateral” sets things up for what should be an explosive series finale. As Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) continues his search for Ava (Joelle Carter), sans his badge, Boyd (Walton Goggins) also pursues his former fiancé. The convergence of two enemies – Raylan and Boyd – happens on a hillside in the dead of night and much is left to chance as each tries to outwit the other. Meanwhile, Avery Markham (Sam Elliott) pays his respects to his dearly departed Katherine (Mary Steenburgen), promising to avenge her death.
