A review of tonight's The Americans coming up just as soon as I show you how to hook the computer up to the TV... "I can't do this one, Philip." -William Though only a few weeks have passed for us since Martha got on that plane, it's been a very long time in the lives of the show's characters, particularly for the ones who, unlike Philip and Elizabeth, didn't spend most of that time playing travel agent for real. Things are bad, and tiring, and several straws break several camel's backs throughout the whimsically-titled "A Roy Rogers in Franconia." Much of the episode is obviously spent on the aftermath of Paige witnessing her mother efficiently kill a man right in front of her, absorbing what that means about what her parents' work must really be like, and whether that in any way changes how she feels about assisting them. It's...

Back to Part 1 of the Best TV Episodes of 2015 (So Far)
Man Seeking Woman, “Teacup”
Written by Sofia Alvarez
Directed by Tim Kirkby
Aired March 11th, 2015 on Fxx
You won’t find Fxx’s Man Seeking Woman in many year-end discussions, but over the course of its admittedly spotty, watched-by-no-one first season, it staked a claim on some truly unique stylistic real estate in a landscape previously thought to be worked to death: the search for love. Over the last year, there has been a tremendous influx in the number of series trying to combine a “modern” and “edgy” take on modern courtship with ages-old sitcom tropes, but most of these have ranged from lackluster to outright lame. (See almost the entire new network comedy lineup, Fall/Winter 2014-15.) Creator Simon Rich’s vision of the dating world as a literal fantasy hellscape—complete with demonic destination weddings, time travel,...

Seeing as “Do Mail Robots Dream of Electric Sheep?” spends a good deal of the hour looking under the hood of everyone’s favourite four-wheel courier, I’m going to do a little curtain-drawing myself. As we’ve gotten deeper into this season of The Americans, review screeners of new episodes have been made available closer and closer to actual live airings. Obviously, having time to ruminate on each new episode before talking about it is ideal, but it’s not like The Americans ever leaves you without something to say immediately after watching each hour.
Point being, I’m very glad that, unlike the last few episodes, I had a couple days to think over “Do Mail Robots Dream of Electric Sheep?,” because after a first watch, I had some pretty strong reservations about the episode. Punctuated by three long, densely written scenes between Elizabeth and a woman destined to become collateral damage,...

For most people, spending time with their grandparents consists of leisurely outings or afternoon chats. In the upcoming “The Wasps” comic book and feature film, one pilot’s quality time with grandma comes in the form of shooting down Nazi aircraft.
Based the true exploits of the women who served the United States Army Airforce during World War II, collectively known as Wasp (Women Air Service Pilots), the comic tells the story of a time-displaced Air Force pilot from modern times who ends up flying alongside his Wasp grandmother and battling Nazis in pursuit of a mysterious artifact.
Former Air Force pilot and “The Amazing Race” winner Reichen Lehmkuhl created the concept based on his real life grandmother Betty Turner Stagg, who served as a Wasp pilot during WWII.
The project, slated to arrive in stores in 2010 through Bluewater Productions, was co-written by Lehmkuhl, Bluewater president Darren G. Davis and Adam Gragg.

A New comic book is being launched by American actor and reality TV star Reichen Lehmkuhl.
The 35-year-old is a former Air Force captain who moved into acting after he won the fourth series of Us reality game show The Amazing Race.
He is now penning a new action adventure comic, The Wasps, and is also set to star in a film adaptation of the story.
The Wasps is inspired by the exploits of Lehmkuhl's grandmother, Betty Turner Stagg, who was a member of Wasp (Women Airforce Service Pilots) - a group of thousands of civilian female aviators employed to fly military aircraft on non-combat missions during the Second World War, in order to free up male pilots for combat service.
The comic, to be published by Bluewater Productions next year, is a time-travel tale that follows the adventures of a modern-day Air Force pilot trapped back in 1942. The hero fights Nazis,...
