Julie Plec and Greg Berlanti‘s next step in their CW takeover came to fruition with the series greenlight for The Tomorrow People, an X-Men-ish variation on the BBC series of the same name, about special people with special skills, particulary the tele trifecta of telekinesis, teleportation and telepathic communication.

When The CW’s Ringer folded after one season last year, the silver lining was that Sarah Michelle Gellar suddenly had time off to welcome a new baby. Also a silver lining? She’s now getting to go to work on The Crazy Ones, the CBS sitcom that marks the return of Robin Williams to TV...

Well, damn. Turns out we’re not quite done with Silas, and because they’re wicked (benevolent) like that, they waited until the VERY last minute to drop that on us. Like I said, DAMN. Nothing quite went the way I thought it might, and for the most part it was a solid finale, but the upendedness...

If you’ve been reading us a while (thanks!), you know that I have a pack of Canadian actors who are near and dear to my heart, perhaps none moreso than the fabulous Ian Tracey. He’s been on my radar about 15 years, back to The X-Files and Poltergeist: The Legacy. If you’ve never seen...

Full disclosure, kids: I never went to prom. So I can’t weigh in on whether this episode appropriately and correctly mirrored everything you hoped and expected prom to be and wasn’t, but “Pictures of You,” aka “the prom episode” came off as mostly “meh.” Everybody looked great but there wasn’t a lot of “there”...
