SciFi Vision - Where Fiction and Reality Meet
Exclusive: Eddie McClintock: A Fish Story - a Preview
Yesterday I was able to attend a meet and greet in Canton, Ohio with Eddie McClintock and do an exclusive video interview with him for SciFi Vision to promote his film A Fish Story. The full video interview will be up soon, but for now, here is a sneak preview with a couple exclusive photos! More coming soon! The Vampire Diaries 5.1 Review: “I Know What You Did Last Summer”
By John Keegan
Not long into the fifth season premiere for The Vampire Diaries, I started wondering if someone had tossed various season premieres from the Buffyverse into a blender as inspiration. Not that this is necessarily a bad idea, but Elena’s college years began in some rather familiar ways. I suppose there are only so many variations on a theme that one can invoke.

Agents of SHIELD 1.2 Review: “0-8-4?
By John Keegan and Paul Pearson
As many reviews have observed, the second episode of a TV show is the one that tells audiences how things will function from week-to-week, now that the business of introducing the premise and characters is (mostly) finished. Will Agents of SHIELD focus more on action, or character beats? Will it be all superheroes or other phlebotinum from the Marvel films, or branch out into its own mythology? The results vary, and while the episode itself is entertaining and helps develop the core team of characters, it also shows an unwillingness to stand as its own storytelling entity.

Sleepy Hollow 1.3 Rev iew: “For The Triumph of Evil”
By John Keegan and Henry Tran
Personal and literal demons come back to haunt Abbie in this episode. Her character is all the better for this kind of exploration into what drove her and her sister Jennifer apart when they were younger. This is the deepest part of a decidedly average episode of Sleepy Hollow. The show is still struggling to find the correct format for an episode to run smoothly. So much focus here is on the Mills sisters and their backstory that there isn’t much time devoted to anything else. Crane is obviously the most interesting character on the show right now and with this episode, it is showing that the writers want to keep the focus on either Crane or Mills. When one so dominates the story, the other will recede to the background. The other aspects of the series aren’t developed enough at this time to pick up the slack if the main characters’ plots can’t carry the episode.

Early Review: The Originals Premieres Tonight on The CW
If you are fan of vampires and other supernatural creatures then you are in for a double dose of fun tonight. CW's new spin-off of The Originals premieres tonight, following the season five premiere of The Vampire Diaries. Homeland 3.1 Review: “Tin Man is Down”
By John Keegan
The second season of Homeland started off strong, but eventually descended into 24-esque territory, where characters were doing more and more ridiculous things to keep the increasingly ludicrous plot moving forward. It was only the shocking death toll and apparent departure of Brody that made the second season finale so promising. It left the faithful with the obvious question: what would the third season of Homeland look like?

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
I really hope this show can finally dispense with the love triangle subplot that has been going on with Will, Alicia, and Peter now. Last season’s cliffhanger (that really wasn’t a cliffhanger) ended not with Alicia meeting Will at her apartment, but meeting Cary to discuss their new work arrangement. And I think that’s the way to go forward with this series.
