If you’re going to have bad guys, don’t go for the conflicted variety or those for who are unwilling participants in the evil doings. No, instead pick a foe that’s entirely beyond redemption, I say. Go for the Nazis! It starts with a mass fatality at a Jewish wedding, instigated by a stranger who seems dressed for a different era, and of German extraction, perhaps? He’s not wearing an armband, but the hint is that he’s on some sort of mission that might have historical reference....

3.13 Immortality For those that have seen Immortality, you’re probably reeling slightly at the direction this show’s now taken, and the moral roadblocks that seem to be being constructed for Peter. What this show is now quite good at is lulling us into a false sense of security, before pulling away the rug rather smartly. If you follow the show, like me, you probably got a slightly déjà vu feeling to the plot, as it rode the previously saddle worn concept of a scientist who has lost the perspective to realise that he’s killing people for science....

Wait a minute, did he just say “Glasgow, Scotland”? Yes, he did, but more of this geographic oddity later. And, don’t worry, just because this is a Leela episode it, doesn’t mean that the season’s gone all wobbly on the quality front. But only after he’s subjected the youngsters to a taster for his channel’s shows, such as Popular Slut Club(great name for a band, by the way), Captain Mega Meat and Bottomless Boy(a less than subtle, though still funny dig at fast food marketing at kids) andExtreme Toddler Wrestling....

Since this show first aired in 2007, co-writers and stars James Corden and Ruth Jones have opened every episode with a phone call between Stacey (Joanna Page) and Gavin (Mat Horne). It’s a comforting format and establishes where everyone is physically and where they stand emotionally right at the top of the episode. And so the natural order is restored, with long-suffering, sane (read: ever so slightly dull) Gavin at the centre of two linked families and the friends connected by life-long bonds....

This week, we’re handing Geeks Vs Loneliness over to Jane, who wanted to talk about carers… We appreciate you come in all shapes, all sizes. All forms and with different issues and responsibilities. All ages. Each of these factors brings its own complexity to what you do. Some of you may be still in education. You may work full or part time. Or you may be a full time carer – which is responsibility enough in itself....

This week, we welcome the brilliant Sarah Myers, who will take over the column from here. She wanted to talk about how she finds setting often very small goals helps her. Hopefully, there’s something in here that might help you, or someone you know. Over to Sarah… I just finished washing the dishes! Can I get a medal? Suffering severe mental health problems, as I do, is no picnic. I currently have no definitive diagnosis, days seem to last forever, and the idea of ‘doing stuff’ is overwhelming....

In the space of two days, I had the pleasure of attending two press conferences being held at the London Film Festival, for Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Men Who Stare At Goats. No doubt due to the international scope of the festival, and the world-conquering stardom of the lead actor of both films – George Clooney – these conferences were more like entertaining hyperactive, cheeky children. They were bizarre and, for the most part, wholly unenlightening – with some noted journos loudly proclaiming afterwards that they would never attend a press conference again....

We jump straight into the episode this week with Puck getting his mohawk shaved. After his mother finds a mole on top of his head and is afraid it might be something more sinister. A trip to the doctor’s concludes with him losing his Puckness and the geeks finally getting one back on him and throwing him in a dumpster. Still, after dismissing Puck as being a jerk, she soon warms up to him after he sings a song especially for her and the two begin to date, which infuriates his ex-girlfriend Santana....

What’s very interesting about Goodbye Christopher Robin – the true story about the creation of beloved children’s books Winnie The Pooh – then, is that while the trailers made it seem like one of those bland, disappointing biopics, the film offers up something a little different. Alan has been left traumatised by his experiences on the battlefield and, upon returning home, his socialite wife Daphne (Margot Robbie) decides that he needs something good to offset the bad....

2.9 Shiizakana The show has hinted, even before the appearance of Margot Verger, that Will Graham is not exactly the first person that Hannibal has tried to groom into a killer. This week, we got a much clearer picture (to the extent that anything is truly clear on Hannibal) that, rather than this being a sideline, grooming – or training – people in certain brutal directions may in fact be Hannibal’s raison d’etre....

Last season was a battle of chess. A drawn out seduction. Dinner at Thomas Keller’s restaurant The French Laundry. In other words, it was freaking awesome. For his part, Graham suffered, both physically and psychologically. His fragile mental health crumbled as his brain literally cooked in his skull due to a serious neurological virus. First he started blacking out, losing time, then losing memory, and finally losing his freedom after Hannibal neatly set him up to take the fall for his increasingly sadistic murders....

Hell on Wheels Season 5 Episode 12 When most things appeared certain between Cullen and Mei, their situation worsened after Chang discovered and sought to exploit her secret for his professional and financial gains. A flashback to his unpolished beginnings in Guangzhou, China, 1863, Chang was manipulative and an opportunist wanting to suckle at the teat of General Lee of the Sze Yup organization. There was nothing he wouldn’t do to secure passage to San Francisco and out West....

1.6 Game Over Game Over is not an easy episode to wrap your head around. It continues Heroes Reborn’s rapid pacing and an awful lot happens in each character’s story arc but worryingly, much of this week’s action comes out of leftfield, contradicting previous character and story development. Luke’s suicide attempt, for example, wasn’t how most viewers would’ve expected the character to develop, yet it’s baffling how quickly his resolve to end his life disappears after being rescued at the hands of Malina and some shoddy special effects....

In a rare moment of restraint, this week’s episode focuses almost entirely on one character and one plot thread. The single-thread approach usually works very well whenever Heroes attempts it, and it only serves to highlight how the usual anthology approach is little more than a crutch for the writers. When forced to come up with a single idea and theme to fill an episode, they actually do rather well....

Like all couples in movie sequels, Jonathan and Mavis have moved past the honeymoon stage and have gone straight to the parenthood stage, with the pair having a little son named Dennis (Asher Blinkoff) who grows up under the watchful eye of Papa Drac and his friends Wayne the werewolf (Steve Buscemi), Frankenstein (Kevin James), Murray the mummy (Keegan-Michael Key, replacing Cee-Lo Green), and Griffin the invisible man (David Spade cast perfectly, because when’s the last time you actually saw him in a movie?...

The back and forth time jump in this installment pulled the curtain back a bit more and revealed an additional chess piece, Rebecca, being comforted by Wes, in Annalise’s office while the other three try to wrap their heads around their options for the disposing of Sam’s corpse. I wonder if Professor Keating thought the coveted Lady Justice statue would be used for murder. Lila was killed and dumped in the water tank two months prior to Sam’s murder....

The name Scott Aukerman, or any oddly pronounced variation of his name as he tends to introduce himself by, is synonymous with podcasting. Longevity is one key to his standing in the industry: Comedy Bang Bang, his flagship comedy gabfest, is approaching 450 episodes by the time we run this story. Aukerman shared his podcast secrets with Den of Geek and told us to keep them to ourselves. Naturally, we didn’t listen....

Tomorrow Comes Early was probably the strongest Identity episode. But then, as it could rely on the groundwork of the previous five, it could get down to the unravelling of Bloom’s life without any preamble. It starts the unravelling with DS Wareing (Shaun Parkes) observing Bloom finally making fridge space by unloading Atif’s body to some Kurdish hitmen, who then make a very poor attempt to get rid of it....

The move was a welcome surprise for actress Orla Brady, who is a native of Dublin and began her career on the theatre stages of the Irish capital. Upon returning home, Brady will get to take her character Lydia in a new direction after being exiled from The Fort in the season one finale. With Brady in costume preparing for a badass key art photo shoot, she took time to sit down with Den of Geek and a group of journalists (literally, we all sat on the floor in a circle) on set in Dublin to discuss her role in the upcoming second season of Into The Badlands....

5.11 The Toll Apparently, the emotional firepower that has been missing from much of this season of Justified has decided to begin appearing with reckless abandon this week. As Justified has always been a show that uses fictional clichés to its narrative advantage, it was fitting that this week the show decided to remind us all that ever since the brilliant movie Lethal Weapon that police officers who are close to retirement hardly ever seem to ride off happily into the sunset....
