When we left Grimm back in the spring, Nick's world was going to hell. He had confessed his true identity to Juliet, who didn't take the news very well. But before she could have Nick committed, Juliet fell into in a Sleeping Beauty-like coma, courtesy of Adalind and her pretty kitty. As Monroe and Rosalee tried to find a cure, Hank was having his own personal breakdown after seeing Monroe transform into a blutbad.
If that was not enough to deal with, Nick's mom appeared out of nowhere and saved him from a Wesen assassin. Ordinarily that would be a good thing, unless your mom has been presumed dead for the last 18 years. So where did mama come from? What has she been up to for the last two decades? Was she watching over Nick or does she really just want the coins?
Scifi Vision recently spoke with series co-creators David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf. The pair were cagey but promised the answers will come fast and thick in the first few episodes of the new season.
"We’re not going to continue to tease people," promised Greenwalt. "Why is his mom back? That’s all going to be explained in the first episode. [Nick] wants his questions answered and quite a few of them will be answered."

This season has been all over the map, so it's nice to see this episode focus on more of the plot elements that have worked (namely, the takeover of the Authority by the Sanguinistas). There's still a lot of the side stories that have been meandering since the start of the season, but it wasn't quite as irritating as it has been.
After a lot of ups and downs, "The Girl Who Fae'd With Fire" feels like the first episode in a while to cohesively bring together everything good about "Lost Girl" into the one episode and make it all work in a story. It's not the most stand-out instalment, but the healthy mix of character beats, plot movement and humour makes for one of the most straight-up entertaining episodes of the show in a long damn time.
Eddie McClintock is best known for starring in Syfy's Warehouse 13; however, tonight he can be seen in the Syfy Saturday Movie The Boogeyman. McClintock plays Sheriff Michael Samuels, a father of two boys, one of whom unwittingly releases the Boogeyman.
Paranormal Witness is back with a twelve episode second season on Syfy. Executive Producer, Mark Lewis, spoke with Christiane Elin of SciFi Vision about the new season.
It is impossible to talk about a remake without talking about the movie that it came from. For those unfamiliar, Total Recall was an Arnold Schwarzenegger action flick from the 90’s about a man who goes through a recreational mind-altering procedure and supposedly discovers that he’s really a spy. The original film left a question mark on that summary, never definitively stating what was reality. It was a good action flick for the time, had some creative ideas and thoughtful themes behind an otherwise 90’s action flick. If you liked Arnold’s other movies of the time, it was a must watch.
After physically injuring half the cast last time, “The Newsroom” subjects the rest to lashings of the mind. In addition to recycled dialogue, the reluctant, or inadvertent, therapy session has been a Sorkin staple, from Dan’s thera-dates on “Sports Night” to Adam Arkin’s sessions on “The West Wing”. Here, Will McAvoy winds up in the chair, while Sloan Sabbith finds out how badly things can get lost in translation. Unfortunately, it’s Will, not the sage Bill Murray, whispering advice in her ear.
When I saw that this episode was titled, "Death March," I was a bit puzzled. Would a show known for taking it safe with nearly every plot element in its arsenal really pile on the death at this point? The survivors are on their way to salvation in Charleston and so maybe that could happen. Then, I watched the episode. This was not a death march the way I had imagined it in my mind. In fact, no one in the episode dies! So I had to ask the question of whether the title was ironic in some way during the viewing of the episode.
