Porthos Learns the Truth About His Father, The Musketeers “The Prodigal Son”
Note: This episode is entitled “The Prodigal Son†in the US and “The Prodigal Father†in the UK. The Marquis de Belgard has a slippery, silvery tongue doesn’t he? It’s true that Treville should’ve told Porthos the truth about his parentage earlier, but with a tale like that I understand…
The Musketeers Preview: “The Prodigal Son”
Warning: Spoilers Ahead It’s time. When the Musketeers rescued General De Foix in “Keep Your Friends Close,” we learned that he and Treville had been keeping a very big secret from Porthos. They know who his father is, but it’s a secret they seemed resolved to take to their graves. But…
The Musketeers “Keep Your Friends Close”
Make no mistake about it, I loved Peter Capaldi as Cardinal Richelieu. But I also love him on Doctor Who and I understand that he can’t do both shows. Pity. But that’s not to take anything away from Marc Warren, who is this season’s big bad. If you’re curious about…
New Villain Marc Warren Talks The Musketeers Season 2 [Exclusive]
Warning: Major Spoilers Ahead I’m sad to see Peter Capaldi‘s Cardinal Richelieu go, but I love that Marc Warren‘s Comte de Rochefort is the new big bad this season. I’ve followed his career for a while and he makes a great villain. I spoke exclusively to Marc earlier this week about how…

The Musketeers “Musketeers Don’t Die Easily”
Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D’Artagnan come up with a plan expose the Cardinal’s treachery. And it’s good enough to fool Milady and good enough to get the Cardinal to confess the details of the crime within the hearing of the Queen. Anne decides to spare Richelieu because she believes he…
The Musketeers “The Challenge”
In what may have been the shortest honeymoon period ever, D’Artagnan and Constance are done before they really ever get started. And it’s all because of the Cardinal. Wanting to see his talents put to use in the Red Guard, Cardinal Richelieu gauges D’Artagnan’s interest. It is odd that he hasn’t received…
The Musketeers “The Homecoming”
I’ve really enjoyed the last three episodes of this show: “Commodities,” “The Good Soldier,” and tonight’s “The Homecoming.” In “Commodities,” we discovered why Athos has led such a tortured existence and how Milday de Winter fits into it. I do have a question, though. Are they still married? I mean, she…
The Musketeers “The Good Soldier”
The Duke of Savoy arrives in Paris to sign an important treaty with France. Savoy uses the attempt against his life to his advantage as he’s looking for any excuse to throw the French over for his preferred ally, Spain. So when Gontard confirms that Cluzet, Savoy’s former Chancellor, is being held…

Rosy McEwen Talks The Alienist: Angel of Darkness [Exclusive]
Hands down, one of the best surprises of The Alienist: Angel of Darkness is that the serial killer this season has been front and center alongside the cast as a fully-formed character. We’ve watched Libby Hatch devolve from a prim, mild-mannered nurse to a woman in a rage hell-bent on…

[Warning: Spoilers for “Belly of the Beast” and “Memento Mori”] If you’ve read me for a while (thank you!), you know two things — I lean way, way in on the characters I adore and I loathe love geometry arcs. So, I’m torn about where we are and where we…
Louriza Tronco Talks The Order Season 2 [Exclusive]
[Warning: Spoilers ahead for Season 2.] The Order’s second season is dark yet delightful entertainment on many levels, and one of its biggest sources of joy and snark is the sassy Gabrielle Dupres. Last season, she was assertive and deadly and fairly annoyed with the world. This season, she’s been…

Two Takes: The Catch “The Knock-Off”

What They Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Black Sails “XXIII”
The dialogue in “XXIII” is phenomenal. It’s always a fun ride when Black Sails carries its viewers along without giving them the chance to catch their breath. When an episode moves at this unforgiving pace, there is no chance for a breather nor is there a respite from the information…
What Lucifer Said: Favorite quotes from Supernatural “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”

What they Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Graceland “Little Bo Bleep”
Shoot outs. Fake outs. And long-awaited revelations. “Little Bo Bleep” was a jam-packed episode that wrapped up some loose ends and totally frayed others. Â It finally gave us one Sarkissian in jail and pulled back the curtain on Briggs’ master plan, but it also set up Jakes for a world…
