Salem brings sex to a new dimension.
Here is our review of Salem season 2 episode 6.
But the sex was through the roof.
You barely noticed Lucy Lawless wasnt in it.
I dont know what John Alden (Shane West) is bitching about.
Tituba (Ashley Madekwe) really is promising him the best of both worlds.
He can take out the witches and the puritans with one fell schtup.
And picture her in 4D.
And its not the kind of education he gets from those dirty books he studied.
All magic begins with arousal, classic tantra.
Sex not only burns calories and feels great, its a portal to enlightenment.
Thats the real reason witches were burned throughout history, they were on to something.
It all comes down to the power of arousal.
Iddo Goldberg is a good actor, but he really is a low-rent lothario.
Its like walking away faster from the mummy, and thank you Stephen King for that.
A threat may be looming, but it can be sidestepped laughingly.
Baron Sebastian von Marburg (Joe Doyle) has a tendency to step lightly and carry a big feather.
He is a very passive aggressive enforcer.
All his threats are veiled and he doesnt quite have the weight to back it up.
For the son of the mother of all vampires, he is getting a little long in the tooth.
Hale slices her familiars feet faster than a farmers wife blindly cuts mouse-tails.
She can also chip pieces of her old mans dried blood off the walls.
Surely, she should have attempted a finger prick before going for the major arteries.
Mercy Lewis (Elise Eberle) is channeling Sarah Jessica Parker in the 1993 filmHocus Pocus.
That film was also set in Salem.
Lewis is a Pied Piper key in who is irresistible to children and especially tantalizing to little devils.
The bedeviled Increase Mather really knows how to cut it close.
It is a very subtle weight he puts on, but very effective.
His son and the audience doesnt know whether to offer him a hug or run away screaming.
The scene would have the feel of coitus interruptus if we hadnt already been sated.
I predict tonights episode will launch thousands of sexual fantasies.
The Countess Marburg backstory was painful and revealing.
Dead Birds was written by Joe Menosky and Adam Simon and directed by Alex Kalymnios.
