POSTS TAGGED: the river

Gasmii, friends, paranormal activity lovers, fellow freaks of nature, isn’t it sad when a show like this has come to an end? While The River hasn’t been cancelled, I don’t foresee any more episodes being ordered, and this makes me a sadclownface. I haven’t even had a chance to use my comedic horror musical theater [...]

Oh, River, River, River. How much ridiculous can you fit into this last episode? We get the Tess making the worst choices ever (of course, should go without saying), resurrection with a Pet Cemetery level of success, and Lincoln becoming my favorite character ever! I’m a sucker for demons. Especially limber ones. Couldn’t he have [...]

Do you enjoy following blood trails, vomiting at the stench of rotting flesh and running for your life without an axe? The River has a treat for you this week, Gasmii! On first watch this episode was all I wanted, but a second viewing reveals some of the silly horror tropes these writers just can’t [...]

It really was Umbrella Corp! If we’ve learned one thing tonight, it’s that German WWII music wafting through the halls of an abandoned building is never a good sign. I can’t decide if my predictions coming true about many of the details seen tonight is a good or a bad predictor of the talents from [...]

Greetings Earthlings! Sometimes television provides you with some great revelations, and this week’s episode of the River is one of those special moments in TV history. For example, Doctor Emmet Cole will abandon extreme cameramen in the jungle, but doesn’t eat domesticated animals. Bugs taste like bacon (I’m waiting for the next Top Chef challenge [...]

Sorry so late Gasmii! Work, travel, site problems and general laziness have all collided this week to create a perfect storm of Indonesian dog poo. On top of that, I’m a little bummed out that it’s looking like this series will definitely be a limited 8 episode run (opening night was two episodes). I have [...]

Wow, the magic’s definitely out there tonight with a return to the fun thriller/horror mix I haven’t seen since the first night of the series.  This is an episode I’m looking forward to watching again, with some great character development, no ridiculous injuries and just one series Cliché:  Only Jahel pays attention to what’s really [...]

Greetings, Gasmii, let’s get all my issues on the table, shall we? Humans bring all our petty prejudices to any show we watch, and I’m no exception. I say humans because I have seen that dogs and cats can basically watch anything with movement fly across the screen and they’re entertained (Max the cat is [...]

Day 14 and already the crew are bitching about no leader or direction? I’ve been thinking that since the beginning of this journey to the middle of nowhere. The screaming of a thousand anvils is deafening us the viewers, time for Lincoln to step up to the obvious role as ship captain. So are you [...]

Ready for another dose of terror Gasmii? So as I sat down to write this week I tried to decide what about this episode was the most frightening. Does the thought of a tribe of Captain-Planet-lovin’ haters judging me unworthy terrify? Nah, anyone willing to post a recap online obviously craves judgment. Does the fear [...]

When you think something’s behind you?  It probably is. Day 11-13 The entire crew heads on a full day hike to a cave featured in many of Emmet Cole’s videos and almost immediately we’re introduced to the legend of the week: the Morcegos, “The Guardians of the Forest”. AJ’s fear of caves serves him well [...]

Greetings Gasmii! I have a confession to make. I’m a TV Slut. I’ve always spread my viewing across all genres. Some shows I’ll loudly admit to fan-girl status on (Doctor Who, Big Bang Theory, Battlestar Galactica). Some shows I’ll admit to if asked directly (Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girl, Project Runway) and until recently others only [...]

Tuesday, February 7th   His own best friend. Spaceballs (HBO Family, 5:20 pm) President Skroob pits evil Dark Helmet against Lone Starr and the half-man, half-dog Barf. If I had an RV, I would totally strap rocket engines to it. The Daily Show with John Stewart (Comedy Central, 6 pm) Tilda Swinton. Just say no [...]

What’s new, renewed, and canceled.
