Extant Episode 5 Review What On Earth Is Wrong

1.5 What On Earth Is Wrong? Last week, in the first non-repetitive words we’ve heard from his apparition, Marcus told Molly not to let go. This week, we start to see why – she might be the only one holding on to the truth right now. In the wake of her and Ethan’s abduction, she learns she is no longer pregnant – and that this was no miscarriage. I like that Molly (and, by extension, Halle) has engaged and is finally showing some drive....

Falling Skies Season 3 Episode 6 Review Be Silent And Come Out

3.6 Be Silent and Come Out What starts out as a chase through Charleston becomes a siege situation, with Hal and Tom holed up in an old building and various interests – Tector, Pope, Weaver, the other Masons, Maggie -trying to get Hal to not shoot the President of the New United States. Some folks pick negotiations; other folks try to simply pump Hal full of lead and leave him to his fate....

Fast Furious 6 Review

Two years later, and Lin’s faced with the unenviable task of improving on the template he established with his previous movie – not to mention finding new things for his increasingly bloated cast of car thieves, racers and disgraced cops to do. Hobbs’ new partner is Riley, played by former MMA fighter turned Haywire movie star Gina Carano. “How did the hell did that get up there?” Riley asks, pointing to a car embedded in the seventh floor of a nearby building....

Flashforward Episode 21 Review

I noticed in last week’s talkback that a few people mused that I was actually enjoying FlashForward, despite its very obvious flaws. Don’t be confused people. What I’m enjoying is that this train wreck of a TV series is finally coming to an end, and like summer recess, school isn’t so bad when you know it can’t go on forever. In Countdown everyone is getting edgy as the clock moves towards the flashforward point, which the creators of this show took as being the signal for them to be even more stupid than normal....

Forever Episode 3 Review The Fountain Of Youth

1.3 The Fountain Of Youth That’s a shame, because the idea behind this particular episode, i.e. the search for immortality, was a strong one. And, it gave Judd Hirsh some classic comedy screen time, and that’s something worth celebrating. What we were given was a follow-the-breadcrumbs detective story, where using his powers of observation, Henry is able to crack the case. What was unique about his approach this week was that it didn’t involve him dying, at all....

Friends With Benefits Review

For Dylan Harper (Justin Timberlake) and Jamie (Mila Kunis), the very clichéd nature of romantic comedies and relationships in general leads to one obvious solution, sex as tennis. Just to get it on, and get it over with, without any of the trappings of a relationship and all the drama that comes along with it. Can these two be friends with benefits without ruining the friendship with emotional entanglements? Dylan is moving to New York to take a job at GQ, and Jamie is the headhunter that got him to leave his LA-based blog and head to the Big Apple....

Game Of Thrones Season 4 Episode 4 Review Oathkeeper

4.4 Oathkeeper It’s a tale of rebellions. Daenerys Targaryen and her slave armies are overthrowing the cruel despots of Slaver’s Bay, one walled city-state at a time. Meanwhile, north of the wall, a comparatively good leader in Jeor Mormont was betrayed and killed by his own men, and it’s up to Jon Snow and a group of volunteers to get justice for the Old Bear (before Mance Rayder and his wildling army overthrow Westeros’ power structure completely in favor of a wildling kingdom on both sides of the wall)....

Geeks Vs Loneliness A Note On Oversharing

“How are you?” For someone with mental health problems, perhaps ones that took a while to be recognised or diagnosed, I’ve found that this is all too common. As much as the media has done lately to help break through some of the most common misconceptions around a lot of mental health issues, taboos still exist and humans remain uniquely talented at judging others they don’t quite understand. As such, the concept of sharing your personal struggles and worries with colleagues, friends or even family can be a terrifying one, with fears around rejection, ridicule or negative impact on your career often keeping people from seeking support when they need it the most....

Welcome to Geeks Vs Loneliness, our spot on the site where we talk about mental health, physical issues, and the things that tend to isolate us. We have simple rules: not everything we post is going to be of use to everyone, but hopefully, there’s something in our extensive archive of articles that can help. If not, have a hug anyway.

General Zod The Future Of Krypton

General Zod first appeared as one of Superman’s nemeses in Adventure Comics #238 way back in 1961, and his penchant for causing chaos and destruction has become one of Superman’s most enduring obstacles on both screen and page. Traditionally, his backstory is that he was exiled to the Phantom Zone for treason by Jor-El, aka Superman’s dad, allowing him to survive the death of Krypton. Usually, he’s out to get revenge against Jor-El by getting revenge against his son....

Ghost Wars Canceled At Syfy After Single Season

Ghost Wars, which is still available and eminently watchable in its 13-episode form on Netflix worldwide, told the story of psychic and local outcast, Roman Mercer, who attempted to break through the townspeople’s prejudices regarding his abilities while being the only one who could save them from the increasingly bizarre spiritual attacks that took many different forms. The series was produced by Nomadic Pictures, the same company that works with Syfy on Van Helsing, and Continuum creator Simon Barry lent his talents to both shows....

God Of War 3 Demo Impressions

I obliged, of course. The first thing I noticed was how huge the demo was. I am used to seeing demos being about 1.5GB, but this came in at a rather chunky 2.6GB. I wasn’t that bothered as it downloaded in about two hours in the end. So I was eventually sat down ready to immerse myself and become the angriest man in all of ancient Greece, Kratos. The demo opens with plenty of disclaimers saying that this is only a small representation of the final product and that there may be bugs throughout....

Gotham Mr Freeze Review

Gotham Season 2, Episode 12 Gothamis back, and it’s introduced some intriguing new villains in Hugo Strange and Mr. Freeze. As always, Gothammanages to make things somehow work by throwing many zany, disparate plots and characters at the wall and seeing how many of them stick. With this midseason premiere, season 2 seems poised to continue its run as mostly entertaining, nonsensical TV. Here’s everything that went down in “Mr. Freeze”… When Penguin eventually backs up Gordon’s version of events (presumably, because he wants to cash in more Gordon favors later on), Barnes chooses to believe Gordon....

Gotham Episode 9 Review Harvey Dent

1.9 Harvey Dent Things didn’t exactly get off to a dynamite start, when convicted-explosives-expert-turned-plot-device Ian Hargrove enacted the most predictable in-transit break-out of all time. The revelation that someone else other than Hargrove was causing trouble was incredibly tame, and anyone who tuned into that segment with no prior Gotham knowledge would surely have thought the show was overflowing with lazy writing and cop show clichés. What unfolded in the next hour was hardly better, with a muddled plot loosely connecting Fish Mooney to the week’s incredibly weak explodey-wodey adversary, who was blowing-up targeted locations to enrage Carmine Falcone....

Gotham Season 3 Episode 15 Review How The Riddler Got His Name

Gotham Season 3, Episode 15 Gotham is back! The midseason premiere is a strong start for the second half of Season 3, showing the further evolution of Ed into the Riddler. In terms of plot, it was less successful than some of the other Riddler-centric episodes we’ve gotten in the past, but nothing matched its insight into Ed’s motivations as we saw him struggle to come to terms with his identity after killing — or, as we now know, attempting to kill — Oswald....

Halo The Master Chief Collection Review

It’s amazing how much time I’ve spent writing about Halo this week. That I’ve had the pleasure to play this series for 13 years and then share my love for the games with you is a dream come true. This has been a great week for Halo fans in general. I’ve already reviewed Halo 2: Anniversary separately, so I won’t really talk about that in this review. As far as multiplayer, there’s not much else I can say except that it doesn’t work....

Hannibal Episode 3 Review Potage

1.3 Potage But the question that Hannibal has been asking approaches the problem from a slightly different angle: “Is Abigail Hobbs capable of doing this terrible thing?” The show has clearly established the guilt of her father, a serial killer who took the lives of eight girls who resembled his daughter. But this week’s Potage focuses on the possibility that Abigail was not just his victim, but his accomplice. Abigail (Kacey Rohl from The Killing), in many ways, is the picture of innocence: the girl next door....

Hannibal Episode 8 Review Fromage

1.8 Fromage So far, for the most part, Hannibal has been about the why, rather than the what. This week reversed that in a few ways. The most obvious is this week’s case: a trombonist is found on the stage of the local symphony with his throat cut, his vocal chords cured into strings, and the neck of a cello shoved down his throat. Evidently, the killer played him, if not to death, then at least in death....

Haven Season 3 Episode 7 Magic Part 1 Review

At the beginning, there is a woman and man standing over a child with blood running out of her mouth and lying on a table. They are waiting for the sun to go down…the man wants to call the police, but the woman refuses. The girl suddenly disappears; they go looking for her to find her on the front porch, swinging away on the porch swing…apparently fine. The parents of the injured girl find she is fine and say it’s a miracle....
