3.7 Though The Heavens Fall One of the show’s most interesting themes has always been how our three (and Nina makes it four) characters would react if the wider world ever found out of their existence. George, well he’d most likely squeal. A lot. Annie would probably embrace the world and all of its foibles, just for a chance to interact with others and feel normal again. Mitchell, however… Mitchell has the most to lose in all of this....

4.2 Being Human 1955 And very well handled it was, too. Remember everything you first fell in love with about Being Human? Remember how George and Annie used to make you laugh and how Aidan Turner’s acting powerhouse used to regularly excite and captivate? Well, the good old days are back, on the strength of Being Human 1955. Whether it was Annie’s non-too-subtle ceremony to try to save Leo, Tom’s downbeat sarcasm, or a focus group with a sticky ending, the writing was full of charm and the result was a show that portrayed real delight in telling its tale....

2.10 Klick But when his ad plays in the hospital room, an early prototype of the tacky commercials Saul Goodman will one day saturate television with, he is reminded at the same time we are of the one huge thing that separates Jimmy McGill from Saul Goodman, the one enormous flaw that will be his downfall. He still cares. As the pensioners on the television one by one say ‘Gimme Jimmy’, followed by the announcement that he is a ‘lawyer you can trust’, you can see the guilt etched all over his face....

So where does Black Death fit in with all the others? Well, if you’re intending to watch it as part of a movie session, then you’ll definitely want to watch it first as, if you’re anything like me, you’ll be in need of a swift pick-me-up afterwards. Don’t get me wrong, Black Death is a great film, but utterly harrowing and so well put together that it left me wandering the streets of London afterwards, feeling slightly crushed under a weight of existential angst....

Black Lightning Episode 6 I know we’ve all been busy talking about Black Panther on the big screen for the last few weeks, but let’s not forget about just how good Black Lightning is. We’re just knocking on the door of the midway point of the season, and the show is showing a little danger of spinning its wheels. The previous episode was the closest to a real misstep the series has had so far, and while “Three Sevens: The Book of Thunder” is a tremendous improvement, there’s still just a hint that maybe they’re taking things a little too easy....

Foley was born in Arkansas in 1949 and seemingly destined for a career in music. Initially part of a gospel group with his mother and siblings called The Singing Fuller Family, he later set out on his own as a songwriter and performer, drifting through Texas, Georgia and Chicago (among other places) and often living essentially as a vagrant. Drugs, alcohol and perhaps mental illness also took their toll on Foley, although he died at the age of 39 not from any of those issues but after being shot in the chest by the son of a friend, after accusing the son of stealing his father’s pension and welfare checks to buy drugs....

Paris Green We’ve seen it in The Sopranos, we’ve seen it in Breaking Bad, and we’ve seen it in The Wire. The theory seems to be that, by saving the action for the second-to-last instalment, the final episode can be a place for rumination and introspection, as well as a tantalising ellipsis to persuade the commissioning suits that this is a story worth seeing more of. So does Boardwalk Empire adhere to this tried and tested template?...

“This is all very insane and illegal, isn’t it?” – George Having three such strong and funny lead characters, it’s strange that they waited three quarters of the way through the first series to have them all on screen at once. In fact, it took up until this episode for Jonathan to even tell George that he had a second job as a private detective. George, far from the usual shocked response, likes the idea of the whole thing and decides to tag along with Jonathan and Ray....

However, like the best of Pixar’s work, the film itself transcends such labels and recaptures the magic that many fans felt was missing in Cars 2. On the other hand, from a studio that has brought toys to life and depicted love between robots without necessarily having to give an explanation, this is actually its first feature that deals in actual magic, taking place once upon a time in tenth century Scotland....

5.1 Live Free Or Die Two words that finished up the last chapter of Breaking Bad, and two words that echo throughout the opening installment of Live Free Or Die, in what is for all intents and purposes – at least in his mind – Walt’s victory lap. He is firmly ensconced at the top of the methamphetamine empire of Albuquerque, New Mexico, a position he established by covering a nursing home with half of the face and body of Gus Fring, his greatest opponent....

Loyalists have been witnessing the what-dreams-are-made-of friendship of Abbi and Ilana for three season now and are probably wondering how it all came to be, and how to get one for yourself. We all want to find that special someone who will go to a dog wedding with us and buy us a naked man blanket for our birthday. Friends are hard to make, but thankfully this episode of Broad City gave us all the tips we need....

Lady Of The Lake Traditionally, Merlin has always acted as a guide to King Arthur and has always be a pillar of good, a wizard who’s simply there to keep the king on the straight and narrow. But in this new series, Merlin is a much more ambiguous character. Not only does he seem determined to mould Arthur to his own personal desires and ambitions (such as quickly shutting down his adolescent pining), but it seems he’ll do anything to get his way, including manslaughter....

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Episode 7 Have you heard the term “extra” being thrown about recently? It’s one of my favorite new terms. Urban Dictionary defines it as “over the top, excessive, dramatic behavior. Way too much.” Tomoyo’s mom doesn’t just get excited to see Sakura, she loses her god damn mind. Syaoran doesn’t just bring along his sword, he whips it out in a flurry of blue flame. Tomoyo doesn’t just get a new camera, she has her mom’s company invent a freakin’ drone camera that can follow Sakura’s every movement....

This review contains spoilers if you haven’t yet seen the episode. So, let’s go over what happened. As always, we start with a murder. This one was a bit different because we saw the victim alive and entering a room before it cut to an adorable Castle/Alexis scene. Their dilemma this week? Alexis wants a Vespa. Castle is, of course, not okay with this, but promises to think about it....

6.19 The Greater Good And yet, most of the cases they have been involved with over the years have focused on victims and criminals who range from solidly middle class (in an extremely expensive city) to the rarified uber-rich. Generally speaking, the working class has served as informants and occasionally trigger men for those who could afford their services. But even though such characters have appeared, we have seen little of their strata or way of life....

It’s a pertinent enough question, especially in the wake of films such as Drive Angry 3D, which does the old 50s fleapit trick of poking the audience in the forehead with bullets and pointy objects. Uncovered by Jean-Marie Chauvet, the caves, located in southern France, are decorated with thousands of animal paintings, all remarkably preserved. A tiny handful of ologists aside, the overwhelming majority of us will never see the inside of this strange, beautiful place....

4.13 Chuck Versus The Push Mix The push mix of the title is the calming music that Chuck (who, working for the CIA, doesn’t consider copyright laws) has put on a CD for the birth of baby Grunka. Err, I mean Clara. It’s a minor point in this story, as most of it revolves around taking down Volkoff and his Hydra network, but the scenes with Ellie and Captain Awesome underline the heart this show has for me....

This review contains spoilers. She’s understandably shaken by what she saw in Faye’s video and, after a restless night filled with repeat viewings interrupted by naps, she marches down to the office to confront those involved. But her outburst at the party last week has cost her, and she’s been locked out of Solasta and all the clues it contains. But the Holly we saw in episode two – the one with the glint of madness and ‘do whatever it takes’ determination in her eyes – is back, and she isn’t going to take no for an answer even when it comes from Rory’s angelic face....

5.9 VCR Maintenance And Educational Publishing After a blinding run of episodes, VCR Maintenance And Educational Publishing feels almost generic. Well, not generic- there’s no show that could do an episode that was principally about a Wild West-themed VCR-based board game, and come off as generic. But as we approach the final stretch of the fifth season, this marks the first point since the gas-leak year where it (at least partly) feels like a product of its own tropes....

To kick this off, I might just deal with a little separation. I think you know what I’m talking about. Wii is a completely different system to the other two. For starters it’s not really a next gen console. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, the price has dropped and they are relying on an innovative control system. It aims at a different audience (kind of) and plays different games....
