The latest episode of Doctor Who offered a swashbuckling new twist on an old legend when the Doctor and Clara met Robin Hood. It was a worthy continuation of the show’s tradition of updating history/legends with a sci-fi twist. Robin Hood seems such an obvious candidate for Doctor Who. The beloved folk hero has pervaded […]
The final few weeks of Big Brother are inevitably a bit boring. At this point there are so few people left in the house that not much really happens. The competitions become the main attraction of each episode because most of the strategy is done. This season, the brains behind Big Brother decided to spice […]
I’m just going to be upfront with you guys- the co-producer of this show Melanie Hrymak (who also plays Tybalt) is a friend of mine; she also occasionally writes for this site so it’s not as if it would have taken your best detective skills to discover this badly kept secret. A few weeks ago, […]

When Cameron Laurie’s Elliot enters with his goofy brother Darren (Andrew Markowiak) […]
Welcome to Sweden finished its first season on NBC with three episodes this past week titled “Breakups,” “Separate Lives,” and “Home,” and, of course, everything worked out in the end.
