The X-Files Meets Charlie Manson in Aquarius

Now that Californication has wrapped up, we’ll be seeing David Duchovny pick up the gun again and return to grittier roots, as a once-again law enforcer, tracking down the Manson Family in the new TV show Aquarius (coming in 2015). This is going to be fun.

The Strain Season 1, Episode 12: Recap and Thoughts

One of the strongest aspects of The Strain‘s inaugural season has been the decades-spanning story of good vs. evil, reflected in the relationship between Abraham Setrakian and The Master’s right hand man, Thomas Eichorst. If Eichorst is Dracula then Setrakian is Van Helsing, and it’s of course no coincidence that the latter shares a first

The Strain Season 1, Episode 11: Recap and Thoughts

If Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights has an attraction themed after The Strain next year, I’m willing to bet it’ll be largely based on this past Sunday night’s eleventh episode, which finally took the main characters down into the subway tunnels and put Eph face-to-face with The Master. Horror was primarily the name of the

MST3K

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a special slice of nostalgia for me. What I loved as a child I can even appreciate more as an adult, considering I actually get a lot of the references and jokes this time around. Many of the episodes can be found on Netflix and a good handful of them

The Strain Season 1, Episode 10: Recap & Thoughts

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

The Strain Season 1, Episode 9: Recap and Thoughts

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

Prior to this past Sunday night’s episode of The Strain, show-runner Carlton Cuse took to Twitter to let his followers know that it’s his personal favorite hour of the show to date, in a follow-up tweet writing that “A lot of stuff we’ve set up starts to pay off.” As promised, ‘Creatures of the Night’

The Strain Season 1, Episode 7: Recap & Thoughts

If there’s any take-away from last night’s episode of The Strain it’s that Thomas Eichorst is one of the best villains on television right now. More than anything, ‘For Services Rendered’ was a showcase of the character’s never-ending evil, and goddamn is German actor Richard Sammel frightening in the role. The latest episode of FX’s
