Nicotera and LaBrava both shared the journey of starting with peripheral roles to now being part of SAMCRO’s inner circle. We discussed the current situation of the MC, guest stars, secrets, and upcoming projects.

Tyrant – “Meet the New Boss” Retrospective. Surprises and More Surprises.

I know in my review of “Preventative Medicine,” I said the episode was a huge turning point for Tyrant, but that’s because I hadn’t yet seen “Meet the New Boss.” There are so many twists and turns, and surprise revelations I never saw coming. What a game changing episode! People’s allegiances are changing willy-nilly, as are personalities. As the freshman season of Tyrant draws to a close, “Meet the New Boss” does an excellent job of setting up the remaining two episodes.

The Strain – “Runaways” Review. Strigoi, Not Vampire.

“Runaways” grabs you and doesn’t let go until the very last second. And even though there are many moments when you wish you could turn away and hide from the fiendishly scary scenes, you can’t help but look through your fingers to watch the chaos and darkness unfold. Eph (Corey Stoll) and Abraham (David Bradley) are still inside the Arnot household after beheading both Gary (Steven McCarthy) and his daughter Emma (Isabelle Nélisse). I guess lopping off the heads of “strigoi” takes a lot out of you and you need eggs and toast to refuel.

If you are hoping, because of the episode title, to see winged creatures swooping in, shaking their feathers at the rag tag group of survivors, you’ll be disappointed.

The Strain – “It’s Not For Everyone” Review. Vampire Anatomy 101.

As “It’s Not For Everyone” begins, Dr. Ephraim “Eph” Goodweather (Corey Stoll) and Dr. Nora Martinez (Mia Maestro) slice open the remains of one of the four survivors, Captain Redfern (Jonathan Potts) and what they discover is startling—not to mention disgusting. Remember we saw Eph and Nora get an up close look at the anatomy of a vampire in “Gone Smooth” last week. The Strain does a magnificent job of creating this world where vampires exist, yet are so profoundly different from anything we’ve seen on television or even on the big screen.

Falling Skies “Saturday Night Massacre” – Top Three Moments.

“Saturday Night Massacre” feels more like a penultimate episode rather than a regular one.

Lexi (Scarlett Byrne) emerges from her cocoon, and while she still looks the same, she isn’t. Lexi’s powers have magnified exponentially and she’s chosen her Espheni family over her human family.
