(Update) Conservative Rage at Soccer and World Cup Nothing New

SciFi Weekend: Continuum; Arrow; The Flash; Doctor Who; Community; Masters of Sex
Last Minute, the third season finale of Continuum, was an even bigger game-changer than the previous finales. I thought the season dragged for a while after they set up the situation of two Alec's, but the addition of Brad and the changes in the time line added considerably to the second half of the season. The final three episodes certainly made up for any slow moments earlier … [Read more...] about SciFi Weekend: Continuum; Arrow; The Flash; Doctor Who; Community; Masters of Sex
