I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the evolution of The Strain in the past few weeks, the show starting out as little more than a whacky good time and unexpectedly transitioning into what I can’t help but refer to as the vampire version of The Walking Dead. Whereas it was once the monster action that drew …
We’ve reached the end of another week – thank god! – which means it’s time to once again take a look at the coolest, weirdest and/or most awesome images that I’ve stumbled across on social media this past week. So let’s get right to it, shall we?! I have so much love for Halloween 3: …
A great episode of a TV show is one that’s good not just as a standalone hour but one that also changes that show for the better, going forward. I can’t think of a more fitting way to describe The Strain’s eighth episode, which finally swapped out ‘shit is about to go down’ for ‘shit …

While movies are a part of our lives for 90 or so minutes, TV shows oftentimes become a weekly staple in our lives for many years, weaving themselves into the very fabric of our existence. That may sound dramatic but it’s the truth, and True Blood is one of those shows that I’ve come to …
If there’s one thing I’ve been looking forward to from The Strain, it’s Abraham Setrakian’s transformation from badass old dude to badass old dude who kills vampires, which was has been all but promised in the past couple episodes. Last night, it happened. Oh boy, did it happen. After being confined to one tiny scene …
Is Sam going to leave Bon Temps? What was Tara trying to tell Lettie Mae and Lafayette, in their V-induced hallucination? Why is Violet targeting Adilyn and Wade? And is anything ever going to actually happen?! These are some of the questions we were left pondering after Episode 6 of True Blood’s final season, and …
