A Lesson in Senses. Retrospective: Dracula – “Servant to Two Masters”

A Lesson in Senses. Retrospective: Dracula – “Servant to Two Masters” 1

After three weeks off, Dracula is back—biting, drawing blood, and making you pant for more sweet torture. “Servant to Two Masters” is wicked and enthralling—as if you’d expect anything less. Alexander Grayson (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) continues to test the boundaries of the improved daylight serum Professor Van Helsing (Thomas Kretschmann) is continuously perfecting; however, it’s Alexander’s abstinence…from feeding…that will prove to be more challenging.

Sins of the Past. Review: Grimm – “Red Menace”

Sins of the Past. Review: Grimm – “Red Menace” 2

Grimm comes back strong after a three week holiday, bringing us “Red Menace,” which is an engaging and perplexing episode. With a new kind of Wesen known as “Koschei” —a healer of sorts with roots tied to Russia—our would-be bad guy may not be so bad after all. We also get to meet a new character who seems to have an extended story arc, according to the previews.

Spoiler Free Advance Review: Chicago P.D. – “Stepping Stone,” “Wrong Side of the Bars,” and “Chin Check.”

Spoiler Free Advance Review: Chicago P.D. – “Stepping Stone,” “Wrong Side of the Bars,” and “Chin Check.” 3

After watching Jason Beghe play dirty cop Hank Voigt on Chicago Fire last season, I was happily anticipating his spin-off series, Chicago P.D. (CPD). I enjoyed the tension between his character and Matthew Casey, the well-liked firefighter played by Jesse Spencer on the original series. The scenes between the two were always highly charged, and you never knew what either character was going to do. It was the stuff legendary dramatic scenes, and hopefully spin-offs, are made of. But spin-offs don’t always succeed.

Stefan to the Rescue, Again… Review: The Vampire Diaries – “Fifty Shades of Grayson” 19

I’m not too enthused with this week’s offering of The Vampire Diaries (TVD). I hate the title of the episode, for one, and it doesn’t really move along the plot. I have to say this feels like a filler episode, and not a very good one at that.

Otherworldly Door. Review: Haven — “The Lighthouse”

Otherworldly Door. Review: Haven — “The Lighthouse” 20

“The Lighthouse” picks up where “When the Bough Breaks” left off. There’s a disturbing glimmer in Audrey’s (Emily Rose) eyes as she places her blackened hand upon Duke’s (Eric Balfour) chest to re-trouble him. Maybe it’s just me, or maybe I’m greedy but I expected more from this season finale—with it being a two-parter, no less. Don’t get me wrong, the mind-boggling ending is an absolute doozy. Lives are at stake, and that makes me worried for what could happen in season five (which has yet to be formally confirmed). My four star rating is mainly based on Colin Ferguson’s brilliance in his portrayal of William, and for the strange events leading up to the final scenes.

Naughty List, Uncheck. Review: Grimm – “Twelve Days of Krampus” 21

Now “Twelve Days of Krampus” is what I call a helluva mid-season finale! You know part of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” that goes, “you better not cry, you better not pout?” For Krampus, it should go, “you better not steal anything or Krampus will beat you and eat you.” “Twelve Days of Krampus” isn’t for little ones under the age 10 because it may scare the eggnog out of them. This guy is no joke and I love it!

Still Feeling Cold. Review: Grimm – “Cold Blooded”

Still Feeling Cold. Review: Grimm – “Cold Blooded” 22

“Cold Blooded” in no way, shape, or form remotely gives way to anything in “Twelve Days of Krampus.” “Cold Blooded” deals with a type of reptilian Wesen known as “Gelumcaedus.” Sounds kind of harmless until you come across one of these fearsome creatures. With a grip like an alligator, you’re pretty much screwed if one of these things grabs ahold of your limbs. The sewers of Portland have more than twigs blocking them.
