It’s Halloween and network television (or the fringes of network television) are toppling over with undead displays of ghosts, goblins, and great pumpkins. FX’s American Horror Story continues to be the strangest of the bunch. With the fourth episode, the creators (Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk from Glee and Nip/Tuck) and director (James Wong – Final Destination, X-Files) welcome Zachary Quinto... 

You might have noticed over the past couple of weeks I’ve stopped writing recaps / reviews for Person of Interest. Or, you might not have noticed – it’s not exactly like they were the most popular articles on the site any way. So what happened? Well, the truth is I lost interest in the show. A family obligation caused me to miss an episode and I never made it up, not because of time constraints... 

Even before this week’s episode aired, I have to admit to a bit of disappointment with what we’re going to see. All week the episode has been hyped with the announcement that a castaway is actually going to ask to go to Redemption Island. They’re calling it the boldest move in the history of Survivor, and playing it off in the ads as some kind of great mystery. I distinctly remember, however,... 

With the third episode titled “Murder House”, American Horror Story opens with a flashback to 1983 revealing the origins of the strife between nosey neighbor Constance and mad maid Moira. In the flashback, young beautiful maid Moira confronts her employer, the master of the house who forces himself upon her until his wife, Constance (a digitally de-aged Jessica Lang), stumbles into the... 

Right from the get go, Ozzy is being the biggest wimp about the game. He got played last week and he doesn’t like being on the “wrong side of the blind side,” so he spends the teaser whining about being caught off guard and throwing off all of his previous alliances. Ozzy is no longer committing to his previous allies. Instead, as the trailers showed repeatedly, he’s declared himself a “free... 

Episode 2 of American Horror Story, titled “Home Invasion,” opens with a flashback to 1968 when a number of female students appear to be living at the haunted Victorian home. Most of the residents head of to a Doors concert leaving two homebodies home alone when a stranger arrives with a head wound looking for help. When they discover the blood dripping down the stranger’s forehead is not his... 

I know it’s early in the season, but I have to say I’m unimpressed with how things are going so far. We knew from the get-go that neither Ozzy nor Coach were the kind of player we saw last season – no Boston Rob or Russell Hantz. I had hoped the rookie players would be a bit more interesting, but so far most of the moves have been predictable, with most of the rookies putting themselves... 

I thought this was the final episode for season five of The Guild. If it was, it probably would have been the most brilliantly agonizing ending Felicia Day could have created for her show. Thankfully, we get one more episode next week, and it’s going to be a doozy. Hell, this week’s episode is a doozy, but it doesn’t quite bring closure to the season (especially considering its abrupt, cliffhanger... 

We’re only on the third episode of Person of Interest, but the show is rapidly losing its luster for me. As much as I want to like it, particularly with the pedigree of Jonathan Nolan at the helm, the truth is the show is starting to become too formulaic and its characters too shrouded in secrecy. In an effort to keep from revealing all of the show’s cards, the showrunner is holding the cards too... 

Genre television is huge this season (Fall, 2011), especially in the form of horror and fantasy. Not only are favorites returning (Fringe, Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, Dexter and The Walking Dead) but a gaggle of new shows are attacking oversized HD TV screens across the Nation: Once Upon a Time, Grimm, The Secret Circle and Terra Nova, to name a few. Vampires, witches, zombies, serial killers and...
