Fiona makes a choice about the Man Who Would Be Steve on tonight’s Shameless. That also makes me wonder how theyll keep him on the show for too many more seasons. Ad content continues below Another storyline thatdoesseem to have an imminent expiration date is that of Sammi. Im genuinely half-surprised the front door wasnt locked on her and Frank in the post-credits tag. Of course,Shamelessis never a straight comedy, and many turns went in the sour direction....

We’re keeping an ongoing tally of the best reads of the year for you. Mother Nature has hit the northeastern United States hard so far this winter. When her husband is found dead underneath the stage, is it an unfortunate tragedy, or murder? Either way,The Magicians Lieis a page-turning howler of a read. But I picked it up and was surprised how much I liked it. Scott Fitzgerald is more popular now than hes been in years....

Hilarity, naturally, ensues. But that wasnt the end of the saga. My original concept was actually for a feature film. Tahmohs following among theSupernaturalfan community was especially vocal about supporting the project. Our social media campaign was hugely successful and within 6 months we had over 2 million hits on Youtube. About a month before production began on the web series, Sienna Films came on board as executive producers. Tell us about what it was like to work with such talent....

Mm, paper jam. Pulpy, pulpy paper jam. The past three episodes have been original and funny, all we really ask fromThe Simpsons. Tonights episode had heart and pickled eggs. Love was in the air, but it was fleeting on account of atomic pollution. Waylon Smithers almost finds love, which turns to hope and then to the grim fate of stunted regularity. Moe almost finds revenge, which turns to love and then respect....

Rick and the others arrive to a new place to call home. But can they adapt? Find out in our review of tonight’s The Walking Dead. The video interview is a very interesting inclusion, especially in a world where technology is now so scarce. Even her watch is still keeping track of the time. Whens the last time we ever knew what time it was? Rick sets his watch to hers, and it seems that he finally starts to consider this new life....

Sonys PlayStation Vita recently turned three years old in the west. Here, we take a look at the most compelling reasons to purchase a Vita! Mike BithellsThomas Was Aloneand Phil FishsFezhave found their natural home on the Vita. Jasper Byrnes superbly creepyLone Survivorhas pretty much its definitive version on the Vita. Play it in the dark all alone with headphones on for the scariest experience. Originally a PS3 title,Gravity Rushwas shrunk down onto the Vita yet is no worse for it....

Did you have childhood dreams of taking the controls of an X-Wing like Luke Skywalker? AtarisStar Warslet you do just that. Did you want to be Tom Cruise inTop Gun? Then Segas nausea-inducingAfter Burnerhad you covered. The definitive military hard-man game, however, wasOperation Wolf. There was that huge, realistic-looking machine gun mounted on the front. Actually playing the game was more visceral still. The gun felt cold and heavy. When you pulled the trigger, it bucked and writhed in your hands....

Power Rangers Dino Charge gets wild with its first character focus episode on Koda and his PTSD. Here’s our review. ThisPower Rangers Dino Chargereview contains spoilers. We start with a flashback to Koda in prehistoric times, discovering the blue Energem. Well have to see. You know, the past few years weve aggressively been lacking show dont tell. So in this episode, through Kodas reactions to everything, hes not just a fish of water....

Archer learns about algae and the Battle of Kosovo when he meets Lanas rather intense parents. Abandoning the season long plotline has meant some wild fluctuations in tone. Save for last weeks alien debacle, the episodes have been pretty good. The Kanes continues this trend. Everything else is par for the course. As one of the saner characters, its usually Lanas job to react to her more decidedly insane co-workers....

In which a Chinese fortuneteller is murdered and the de-mystified get re-mystified. Moto, thats racist. Okay guys, this one is kind of heavy. Its been no secret amongst my reviews or the show itself thatBackstromisnt exactly brimming with subtlety and tact. low fruit is grabbed. All the while Backstrom is constantly mixing up Chinese phrases with crude approximates like Cheech and Chong. The only problem is that it almost feels out of place....

Banshee outdoes itself yet again with another intense, jaw-dropping episode. Here is our review. How it manages to top itself with every episode is simply astounding. No one is safe, not even Chayton Littlestone. Lets talk about this for a momentthe death of one ofBanshees most intimidating characters. (I originally wrote intimidating villains, but Chayton was much more than just a big bad. And lets not forget that many Banshee residents, including Hood, have blood on their hands....

Granted,Maps to the Starsis far from a Hollywood production, despite its across-the-board A-list talent. Unfortunately, thats also just the first 15 minutes, and from there things start to getreallynasty. Havana covets playing the same role as her mother, a fixation likely exacerbated by her opportunistic therapist. Benjies sequences will undoubtedly be the audience favorite. To be sure, the best roles in the film belong to Moore and Wasikowska. But for this picture, it really is like being on a tour bus to the stars....

Ra’s al Ghul returns, the Atom suits up, and secrets are revealed. Here’s our review of Arrow “Nanda Parbat.” Nanda Parbat is the sequel toThe Climbinsomany ways. There are obvious story and thematic similarities, of course, but this was even paced like The Climb. This is very much the middle act episode of what I imagine is a trilogy. But unlike the rather ill-fated Brick trilogy this one has higher stakes and an a-list villain pulling the strings....
