Scream Queens SN02 EP05 – ‘Chanel Pour Homme-icide’

Last episode left us not knowing the fate of Special Agent Denise Hemphill and Chanel No.5.

This episode opened and revealed the devastating news that Denise was in fact dead. Well breathing but brain-dead and stored away in a cryogenic chamber, so we can only hope she has a miraculous recovery, which is unrealistic, but this is scream queens after all. Chanel No.5 survives yet another attack on her life by the green meanie. Is she just lucky? Or could she be in cahoots’ with the green meanie? Like I’ve said before, she’s being constantly pushed and beat on by the other Chanel’s, maybe she has finally snapped and her being attacked is just a cover to stop suspicions on her.

Meanwhile, there is yet another Halloween Massacre and I must say this green meanie is a very busy dude. Anyway, this forces Munsch to report the killings to the police, surprisingly this leads to an influx in patients. In this case it seems to be true that ‘bad press is better than no press’. And with this influx of patients the Chanel’s decide to recruit more Chanel’s to use as their personal slaves and human shields from the green meanie.

We have to talk about the hospital’s new patient with an inconsistent accent, which also temporarily rubbed off on Dr Holt, Dr Cascade and Chanel No.3, who all needed to be applauded for their spot-on accents and how they fluently changed from one accent to another. This has to be the best thing I’ve seen, definitely the most memorable and hilarious moment yet from this show. Genius!

Billie Lourd as Chanel No.3, Emma Roberts as Chanel Oberlin, Abigail Breslin as Chanel No.3.

 

2 of the new Chanel’s were killed this episode, Tristan – the Chanel obsessed fan-fiction writer, and No.11 – the patient with 11 fingers. Seems the green meanie will cut through the newbies very quickly and with only 4 human shields left, it seems as though the Chanel’s will have to think of a different strategy to survive the green meanie.

Notable moments this episode:

• Holt cured Chanel’s blue skin from the previous episode.
• Our favourite pill-popping nurse is back! Nurse Hoffel returned with some of her best lines yet, as she continued to put the Chanel’s in their place and also blackmailed Musch when she tried to fire her.
• Also, the Chanel’s enlisted the help of Hester which seems like an incredibly stupid x20 idea. But I guess it takes a killer to catch a killer.
• Zayday suspects Chamberlain to be the hospital baby, you know the baby’s dad was left for dead by the doctors on Halloween night in the 80’s. Well at the end of the episode it was revealed the hospital baby is Dr Cascade, making him our number 1 choice for being the green meanie. However, this early reveal means he is probably not, I’m sure there are plenty more twists to come.

Questions we still need answered; Who is the green meanie? Are the green meanie and Hester working together? Does the green meanie have a partner? Maybe Chanel No.5? Will Zayday find a cure for Munsch? What is Dr Cascade’s agenda? Will Zayday realise who Cascade is? And who will be the green meanies next victim?

Comment and let us know your theories, do you think you know who the green meanie is?

Stan Against Evil: S1 Ep3 “Let Your Love Groan”

Fan’s of BBC/Doctor Who type makeup and special effects will appreciate this episode.

S1 Ep2: Know, Know, Know Your Goat

In Ep2 Sheriff Barret became acquainted with the town drunk who turns out to be something else. Stan and his daughter, Denise, meet a goat who turns out to be all kinds of evil in disguise, and we found out that Denise is kinda cray-cray.

Nothing in Willard’s Mill is as it seems…

“Let Your Love Groan”

It seems we’re learning the history of Willard’s Mill through the flashbacks at the beginning of each episode. This one starts with a flashback to 18 months earlier. In the town bar, a couple meets for a blind date. The guy seems smooth, but kinda sleazy. The girl is shy and innocent. You know, they typical small town girl.

Or so you think. Turns out, she’s not what we thought. Within ten seconds of them meeting she asks him to meet her at the bathroom to…you know…

Let’s just say, she’s really aggressive when they get there. Really aggressive. Like…SUPER DEADLY CRAZY aggressive…

Present Day

Sheriff Barret seems to be a bit down since she’s arrived. She’s found out about the curse, almost been killed twice, and now she’s just met her ex-husband’s new fiancee. Deputy Drinkwater suggests she go check out the speed dating event at the local bar (yeah… the same local bar from the flashback). She agrees to that, but only if  Stan goes with her. For some reason, Denise goes too.

The event starts and we get to meet a few more of the weird locals living in Willard’s Mill. Barret meets frog after frog until finally…a prince. She leaves with him and they end up vibing so well that he asks her out again. Barret is smitten and excited with the prospect of new love. So excited that the veins in her neck start popping out.

Stan meets someone attractive, too. Attractive to him. She turns out to be just…like…Stan! She immediately talks shit to him and treats him like he treats everyone else. And he’s totally turned on by that.

I know you’re concerned, but don’t worry, Denise get’s to fall in love, too.

The next morning, a package arrives at Stan’s door. Denise opens it and finds a picnic basket with a cute little piggy inside. She’s weirdly ecstatic about this.

She decides to hide it in her room and in a funny coincidence, Stan happens to be cooking bacon for breakfast. Denise actually feeds some to the pig while Stan isn’t looking.

Pay attention to what Stan says when he finds out…his little rants totally make the show.

Meanwhile, Barret arrives at the station in a great mood. She admits to Deputy Drinkwater that she met a guy. Being the unabashed guy that he is, Drinkwater comments about how she must have had a really good time because it looks like she was out all night. When she checks herself out in the mirror she notices the veins on her neck.

Stan’s on a date with the lady from the night before and SURPRISE SURPRISE, he’s already annoyed with her. She immediately takes charge and orders lunch for him. Weirdly, she starts acting like she’s known him forever. She takes over his life. Cleans his house out. Makes him eat things he doesn’t like. She’s treating him just like they’re married.

In the middle of the episode, we get a tiny montage on Barret’s relationship. She’s really liking the guy more and more. She’s also looking worse and worse. Like she’s taking makeup lessons from Beetlejuice.

In one of the creepiest love affair montages I’ve ever seen, we get to see Denise, the pig she names Mergatroid, and the love they have for each other.

Let the really weird stuff begin.

Barrett, Stan, and Denise all start looking worse and worse. Their skin gets paler. Their eyes get redder and redder and start bulging out. All the veins on their face and neck start popping out. They’re all looking closer and closer to a corpse every time they’re with their loved one.

Finally, Barret realizes how bad she looks. Denise has no clue what she’s looking like. Barret goes to Stan’s to look through his wife’s book. Funny, Stan only looks pale and his veins only pop out of his neck when his lady-friend is around.

As Barret looks through the book, she figures out they’re each dealing with their own Succubus and that they need to break up with their boyfriend/girlfriend as soon as possible by chanting the spell in the book.

Stan is totally in agreement and says he can solve his problem by using his tried and true break up technique. I was dying with laughter when he went into detail on it and might have to try this one with the next woman I date when she starts annoying me.

Barret rushes to the bar and uses the spell to break up with her demon. He blows up and while his blood and guts fly everywhere Barret’s complexion immediately clears up.

Back at Stan’s, Barret finds Denise is looking pretty bad, too. She learns about Mergatroid and tries to get Denise to get rid of the pig. Denise shuts herself in her room and when Stan and Barret break in, they find that Mergatroid has now morphed into an evil demon pig that looks like a more menacing version of the Space Pig from Doctor Who and Torchwood that the Slitheens created.

While Stan fights Mergatroid in the worst possible way, Barret helps Denise utter the incantation to break up with the demon. Just as the demon is choking Stan to death, they finish the spell.

After that’s over, Stan’s chick arrives and it’s time for him to get rid of his succubus.

She’s pissed because she smells pork and launches into a rant about why it’s not healthy to eat it. In a comedic turn of events (this show has some really good ones), Stan utters the spell, but nothing happens. It turns out she’s not a succubus, after all, she’s just really freaking annoying. So he tries his go to break up technique.It doesn’t go over very well.

I’m seriously going to have to try that line…

Contrary to what everyone thinks… Deven B. actually hates the Holidays but he’ll probably eat and drink his way through them anyway.

Elementary SN05-EP07 ‘Bang Bang Shoot Chute’

Hello fellow Holmes fans, I am almost caught up so without further ado let’s have a quick recap of episode 6 before we get down to business with episode 7 recap.

SN05-EP06 ‘Ill Tidings’

Holmes and Watson investigate a mass murder when a chef and his patrons are poisoned after dining on a tasting menu tainted with snake venom. Meanwhile, Bell’s crush on a work colleague makes Sherlock realise his relationship with Fiona is at an important crossroads.

SN05-EP07 ‘Bang Bang Shoot Chute’

Joan’s (Lucy Liu) sister comes for dinner and shared some concerns about Shinwell (Nelson Ellis)she seen him speaking with a man who looked like trouble and suggests it may be a good idea for Joan to check in on him. Two base jumpers prepare to jump off a building, as the take the leap one of the jumpers become the target of a sniper, and plunges to his death being shot through the chest but his buddy flees the scene, which poses the question, if he set his buddy up to be murdered, why else would you flee the scene? Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) arrives at the scene and found the victim’s chute had also be cut, though it appeared to be the bullet that killed him. With a tapered chute and a bullet in the victim is clear that there has been an attempted murder and a murder, why did two different people want the victim Bennett dead?

 

The victim’s wife has and alibi and had also tried to take her husband out of jumping that night , she suggested that perhaps the other jumper, Bennett’s camera man, is to blame. One of the jumpers friend’s who used to jump with them had died when he and Bennett collided and knocked him out. Arturo wasn’t able to deploy his chute and plunged to his death. Sherlock reviewed the base jumping videos in order to find a lead and the whereabouts of the friend who fled the scene. Sherlock was able to find him by tracking the high-tech camera equipment instead of the phone. They Bring Mark in and Sherlock notices Joan’s sister is at the station, she is looking through the old mug shots to identify the man Shinwell had met at his apartment. Mark claimed he didn’t kill Bennett, instead, he claimed that Arturo’s sister who was a West Point cadet with sniper rifle skills, however, it was better for her if Bennett was alive in order to publish her brother’s book.

Sherlock looked into Arturo’s book and found a photo of him and Bennett from when they were contracted to guard shipments of money into Iraq, the photo was labelled “our one regret”, which appeared to indicate that they may have had a chance to take some money and turned it down. Joan met with “Tall Boy“, the man who Joan’s sister saw Shinwell meeting. Joan asks why he threatened Shinwell‘s parole, he claimed that Shinwell reached out to him. A guy named Declan showed up on Sherlock’s doorstep, he admitted to stealing some of the money for the Iraq shipments and claimed he didn’t kill Bennett, the $500k that he had given to Bennett was not blackmail, it was a high-interest rate loan that Bennett made payments on every month. The case leads Sherlock and Joan to a private skydiving plane, which appears to be registered to a shell corporation out of Canada, Bennett had been smuggling something back and forth over the US/Canadian border. When they dug deeper, they found he was smuggling people, the latest pair smuggled what an Iraqi warlord wanted for war crimes and his daughter.

Sherlock and Shinwell play chess and Sherlock advises him not to throw it all away, the finally track down the warlord and his family, he side with the Taliban when they were in power but when the lost power he then side with allied forces while they were in command, but when the Taliban regained control the no longer trusted him and killed his brother and threatened to kill his family, which is why the fled. They had no reason to kill Bennett and they led them to speak to the pilot, they tracked him down and he confesses but Sherlock isn’t buying it, he makes the connecting that he is Bennett’s wife’s father and clearly protecting his daughter. They bring in Bennett’s wife in again and she admitted to sabotage, Bennett had been having an affair she cut all the chutes. Sherlock went back to the Iraqi family who said shortly after they arrived with their son, their daughter ran away and the son went after her, with military training the explained that after killing Bennett, he would kill his sister in order to get the family name back. Sherlock and the team track him down and arrest him just as he is about to take a shot at his sister. Joan sees Shinwell and he doesn’t want her help and more, he is dangerous and she needs to walk away.

The Walking Dead SN7 EP05-‘Go Getters’

The show picked up momentum as we checked in on several key characters.

After a couple of really quite depressing episodes, there was a feeling that this one would be the same, if not worse than those that had come before it. After all it was clear from the get go that this episode was going to focus on Maggie and Sasha, the two most affected by the deaths of Abraham and Glenn. Surprisingly this was not the case though. Yes, there were plenty of quiet sad moments which definitely needed to be there, but ultimately Maggie and Sasha seem to be taking all this better than anyone. They’re both channelling their pain into action, the same of which goes for Enid and Carl. It’s refreshing after all these episodes of Rick and Co submitting to Negan. What made ‘Go Getters’ stand out is that the characters were taking action. With plans forming in all three of the major settlements, whether it be Rosita at Alexandria, Ezekiel at the Kingdom, or Sasha and Jesus at Hilltop, it can only be a matter of time before the factions unite. Then things will get really interesting.

Before that though, we’ve got the relatively slow burn build up to all that. I welcome the slower pacing, as it’s giving us a chance to spend a proper amount of time with all the different characters we need to. This week was big on character development for multiple key players. We got to learn a lot more about Gregory and Jesus, whilst the story between Carl and Enid had a lot of solid, really rather sweet character moments in it. I’ll turn my focus to those at the Hilltop first though, as more time with them was sorely needed. I don’t see many characters from there past Gregory and Jesus getting much focus, which is fine given the already huge cast, and the facts that they are both really interesting characters.

What we saw from Jesus this episode was really interesting. When first introduced he was this ninja badass we weren’t sure we could trust, and over the course of the three episodes he appeared in last season, all that really changed was that he became someone we could trust. He existed more as a tool to introduce the Hilltop and this larger world, so now that all that has been established, he has time to be an actual character. This resulted in a fairly flawed man. He has the Hilltop’s best interests at heart, but he was unwilling to go that little bit further towards making the place better. He didn’t want to be leader, which is fair, but throughout the course of the episode he realises, with the help of Maggie and Sasha, that there is always more he can do. The Jesus we see leaping into the Saviours truck at the end of the episode is much different to the one we see at the beginning, and that’s the kind of character development the show could use more of. It doesn’t have to be as condensed as what we saw with Jesus here, but certain characters could get to their destination a bit quicker, as it would make things that bit more interesting.

It’s unlikely Gregory however will evolve past being anything but a disrespectful slimeball. The character is clearly presented as someone we shouldn’t like, and I’d wager most of us don’t, but there’s a sense of theatrics to everything Gregory does that has you second guessing him. Forgetting Maggie’s name, sly comments to Sasha, it should paint him as a one-note dickish character, but instead it all feels as though he’s playing a game. He acts in certain ways so as to benefit him and only him. I think it’s more the way Xander Berkely expertly plays the character than the writing. He makes Gregory that tiny bit sympathetic in a way I don’t think is present in the actual writing, and that makes the character a whole lot more interesting to watch.

Maggie and Sasha were handled in a way both true to their characters and to where they are in the story right now. There were just enough sad, grieving moments to be realistic, but the brunt of their story focused on how strong the two of them are moving on from the tragedies of the Season premiere. An intense action sequence was where we really saw how this grief is going to just make them stronger. Whereas back at the end of Season 5, Sasha running alone into a swarm of Walkers was her wanting everything to end, now it’s because she knows what she’s fighting for. She can’t avenge Abraham’s death if she herself is dead, but even broken the group is still strong. The same goes for Maggie. Not content to sit on the sidelines, but not stupid enough to put herself and the baby at risk, she grabs a tractor and runs over a car, proving her worth at being a leader in the process.

Of course in an episode with as many running storylines as this there was plenty to take in, so other notable highlights include:

• This episode did a lot of setting up future storylines, but thankfully in a way that didn’t really distract from the focus of the episode. Carl and Jesus ending up in a truck bound for Negan was an interesting mix of two prominent comic storylines, and it will be interesting to see how the pairing turns out. Furthermore, Maggie becoming leader of the Hilltop was hinted at with the subtlety of a baseball bat smashing someone on the head, and it’s become very clear now that Enid is taking over Sophia’s role from the comics as Maggie’s adopted daughter. Exciting times are ahead.

• Carl and Enid’s journey to the Hilltop was full of some really sweet moments. Them speeding down the open road on rollerblades was a good reminder that they are still kids, and showed characters smiling for the first time in too long. The kiss was a long time coming, and it’s definitely a relationship I would enjoy seeing play out. On top of all that their conversations about Glenn and Abraham’s death were pretty accurate of what teenagers would actually do. Asking if Carl watched may sound weird, but it’s very much in character for a couple of kids messed up by this world.

• Enid putting the green balloons on Glenn’s grave was heartbreaking. This made even sadder by the fact she’d actually put them on Abraham’s grave and Sasha really liked it. It was all so emotional.

• Speaking of emotional, I was ecstatic enough to see Maggie punch Gregory in the face, then she had to go and remind him of her name: Maggie Rhee. It is totally acceptable if you were a blubbering wreck by that point.

• Steven Ogg returned this episode as a Saviour truly worthy of being Negan’s right hand man. Like Negan he manages to be menacing and fun to watch all at the same time. His back and forth with Gregory was really fun, and the two work together well. He’s a character I’d be happy to see more of, that is unless he kills anyone in the group. Then I’d happily see him taken out.

So another episode and things are starting to gain momentum now. After three episodes of pure trauma and grief, plus the crazy fun anomaly that was The Kingdom, The Walking Dead is beginning to turn a corner now. Plans are being put into action, and whilst it may be a while off yet, the battle between the Saviours and just about everyone else is marching ever closer. This episode wisely sidestepped focusing on Maggie and Sasha grieving, to present us with them both at perhaps their strongest, ready to tear the world a new asshole. Increased focus on characters we didn’t really know a whole lot about was another plus, and the stuff with Carl and Enid provided a sweet distraction from the general despair on the show at the moment. Next week looks to finally bring back Tara and Heath into the equation, though given Corey Hawkin’s new show I’m not too hopeful for Heath. Hopefully though the episode provides us with a tone less akin to that of a wake, though it will likely end up being just as tragic because they don’t know what’s happened to Denise, Abraham and Glenn. We’re really in for a rough ride this season.

Elementary SN05-EP05

Two down and two to go, thank you for your patients guys as I work through getting the recaps up for you. Before we get stuck into recapping episode 5, let’s have a quick recap of episode 4.

SN05-EP04 ‘Henny Penny the Sky Is Falling’

Holmes and Watson are drawn into the world of asteroid research when they are called to investigate the murder of a financial analyst Russell Cole. Captain Gregson lobbies to have Holmes and Watson included when his unit is selected to receive a city commendation for its exemplary work. This was the 100th episode for the cast and crew.

SN05-EP05 ‘To Catch A Predator Predator’

Joan (Lucy Liu) gives Shinwell (Nelson Ellis)some of Sherlock’s (Jonny Lee Miller) old clothes for an interview, he finds a version of the hat that Holmes is famous for, It’s Shinwell’s fifth job interview and he is getting down about not getting call backs, no one seems to want to give the ex-con ago. Watson decides that it would be a good idea to train Shinwell as a detective however, Holmes can’t see it and given what happened to Kitty, Holmes doesn’t want a repeat of bringing someone else into his line of work. Shinwell refuses Watson’s offer and says he is taking a break from job hunting. In a cheap hotel room, a man is clearly getting ready for a date, while telling his wife he will be stuck at the office all night when he is interrupted by the sounds of gunshots, which he tells his wife is a co-worker popping champagne, seconds later a body comes crashing through his window.

Holmes initially believes that this is a sexual predator hunting a teenage girl, he is disappointed that the hunter has escalated to murder because up till now Holmes has admired his work. Holmes finds out the victim Damien Novak, is actually the vigilante from his wife, Novak’s sister was a victim of a similar crime when she was younger, which gave Novak his motivation. Novak has five previous victims, two of the men are abroad, one is still in a coma and the fourth is in Jail, however, there is a fifth man out there, who Holmes and Watson believe is the primary suspect. They bring in the suspect Jack McGill, who claims it was a scam, was in the middle of a sexual harassment lawsuit at the time. Novak had another dating profile and he was after the woman, Yvette Ingrim who McGill harassed, and was filing the lawsuit. Ingrim had to pay off most of what she won from the suit to her law firm.

Novak’s brother in law is brought in for questioning because of his connections with the law firm Ingram went to for help with her suit, and after looking over the files, it leads Holmes to the employee he spoke to earlier on in the episode from “True Romantix”, Molly Parsons. Parsons was abused by one of Novak’s victims who fled the country before he could be convicted. Molly arranged to meet Novak and it escalated quickly to murder. Sherlock was able to track down Fitzhugh and the police in Bali where Fitzhugh is hiding out will plant drugs in his house which will lead to his arrest. Shinwell returns home to find a man in his house, he tells Shinwell that it would be a shame for Shinwell to die before their plans were finished, and says he still has plenty of work to do. Hmm, this doesn’t look like this will end well for Shinwell.

What to Expect In S2 of The Expanse

Hey, all! Season 2 of our favorite TV series is still a few months away, but I thought I’d share some quick news on a few things you can expect from it.

More action.

Season 1 started out slow and suspenseful to build the plot and storyline. It gave you a chance to get inside each of the main character’s heads; to find out their backgrounds and motivations. It was also unique in that it gave the viewer the feel of piecing together the mystery alongside Miller, Holden, and Avarasala.

Our protagonists are more in control of things in Season 2 with Miller and Holden making decisions that drive the plot forward. But Mark Fergus (Exec. Producer) insists the focus on the characters will still be there.

Miller and Holden will go through intense change.

Events led Miller to start doubting his faith in humanity as he tried to unravel the Julie Mao mystery. He seemed to get more depressed as things developed. And Holden seemed to mature into a strong and idealistic leader.

In season 2, Miller gets to know Holden and the crew and he begins to realize there are still some good people in the universe. But Holden’s tarnish begins to blur as he learns to look at people and the universe from Miller’s point of view.

It seems the events and the end of season 1 will greatly affect their behavior in the upcoming season.

The tension between Earth, Mars, and the Belt rises.

Season 1 exposed us to the growing hostility between the Earthers (who think they are the superior planet), Mars (the military power), and the Belters (the oppressed race).

Expect the political intrigue to rise and to tangle even further the three.

A new threat will rise.

The protomolecule mystery became a big plot point at the end of season 1 with Julie Mao’s father, the CPM, and Undersecretary Errinwright seeming to all somehow be involved in or at least know about the Eros Station genocide.

We also saw it’s a sentient life form with an agenda of its own. Slowly, the Earthers, Martians, and Belters will come to realize their only chance of survival may be to put away their differences and unite to fight this new threat.

Spectacular special effects and sets.

The showrunners want the show to focus on the characters, but they’re also well aware that this is a show set in space.

Expect epic ships, exciting space battles, and bigger sets showing exotic locations.

 

Don’t forget SyFy has set the Season 2 double episode premiere for Wednesday, February 8 at 10/9c. Tell your friends and follow us at skatronixxx.com.

Nerdy Craft Corner with Brenda: TARDIS night light

Are you afraid of the dark? Do you love Doctor Who? Ya, me to. So here is the opportunity to have the Doctor help you with your nighttime fear, lets build a TARDIS nightlight.

Below is a video done by a man named James Chats, who recently (according to the video that was published just over a year ago) found a new love in the ways of the Doctor. This video is pretty descriptive and easy to follow for the most part. There is some rescaling of the measurements should you go the same route as him and find an exact blue print of a life sized TARDIS (which you can then try to build at another time).

 

The things you will need are:

Exacto knife

Hot glue

Elmers regular glue

Tardis blue print with actual dimensions

Foam board

light of your choice

Ruler and protractor

Sharpie

Blue and white paint

Tin foil

Plastic you can cut easily

Extra paper (colored would be nice)

And some patience

 

Enjoy my friends!! ^_^
