Killjoys: The Harvest review

Dutch and John go undercover on the planetary body of Leith in a delightful episode with minimal ear amputations. Lend me your ears,Killjoysfans. Yeah, The Quad kind of sucks. The Harvest is really about the partnership between Dutch and John. These two have been working together, presumably just the two of them, for six years. Dutch has a dark side and John keeps that dark side from taking over. In their final scene together, she calls John irreplaceable....

15 underappreciated books: sci-fi, fantasy, horror fiction

Looking for a good book recommendation? Our writers have a few unsung sci-fi, fantasy and horror gems up their sleeves… Other people. Whats the point of them? Theyre noisy and everywhere. There is one thing theyre especially good at, however, and thats recommending new stuff. The formers imagination and wit though, merit it a reputation all of its own.

Hannibal: Contorno Review

Hannibal takes a beating as the doctors many avengers descend on Florence. She tells Will of her upbringing with Hannibal in a rare scene of heavy exposition for this show. Intonightsepisode, Pazzi became Hannibals latest victim, an act of violence he wanders so frustratingly into. Like Chiyoh, Pazzi is more fascinating for his connection to Hannibals past than in his own right. Unfortunately, that past connection doesnt stop Pazzi from trying to out-game Hannibal....

Chester’s Mill is ruled by the good, the bad and the inane. Since Im a positive sort of geek, lets start with the good. Most of the good this week, as per usual, had to do with gentlemen named Rennie. Dean Norris and his as performance Big Jim continued to be a campy delight. Seriously, no one on modern day TV skulks like Big Jim. Poorly executed romantic tension at that...

Gone are the characters who lacked chemistry with the protagonist, Molly Woods, played by Halle Berry. Its still not a perfect show, but the improvements are already apparent and appreciated. When a military man justifies the deception by saying, Why cause a panic, I immediately panic....
