The Daily Geek Into Darkness: 'Star Trek' Edition

Still from “Balance of Terror”
By Kevin Brettauer
From September 8, 1966 to May 13, 2005, the once humble, now-colossal "Star Trek" franchise produced six different television programs, with a sum total of 725 episodes, many of which are considered some of the best drama ever created for network television. Such classics as “The City on the Edge of Forever”, “The Best of Both Worlds”, “Tapestry”, “Chain of Command”, “Space Seed”, “The Sacrifice of Angels” and others often make “best episode” lists of many kinds, alongside the most-revered segments of "The Simpsons," "MASH," "The Twilight Zone," "I Love Lucy," "All in the Family," "Lost" and "The Wire." While any top ten list is difficult, choosing ten exemplary hours from 725 episodes is nearly an impossible task.
But Impossible is my middle name (Well, actually, it’s not, but, you know, whatever. It’s not Tiberius either. Let’s get on with this.).

'Arrow' Recap: 'Sacrifice Amidst Destruction
Posted 5/16/13 10:44 am EST by Kendra Beltran in DC Comics, TV
Watching the season finale of "Arrow" could be likened to having a brain that’s forever on caps lock. Every other second was a NO WAY, REALLY, and WTF moment. You can find out why all those moments coincided with heavy breathing and rapid heart rates on MTV Splash Page. For the last time this season, I’m going to say that right now, we need to talk about the episode's title being very fitting, how “ain’t nobody got time for that,” and of course those couple of scenes I had surprised eyes.

Interview: Lisa Henson Talks 'Fraggle Rock's' 30th Anniversary, Upcoming Jim Henson Projects

For three decades, a race of subterranean Muppets has taught us a few things about living. Sure, there are the obvious lessons from these Fraggles, creations of the Jim Henson Creature Shop, that it is good therapy to dance your cares away instead of worrying, and that Doozer constructs are tasty.
'Grimm' Star Bree Turner Has A Complicated Relationship With A Big Bad Wolf
Posted 5/15/13 2:59 pm EST by MTV Geek in TV
On NBC's "Grimm," Bree Turner plays Rosalee Calvert, a Fuchsbau who has a tumultuous romantic thing going on with Blutbad, Monroe played by Silas Weir Mitchell. For those unfamiliar with "Grimm" grimmy nomenclature, a Fuchsbau is a fox-like creature (or Wesen) while Blutbad's are Big Bad Wolf-esque wolves.
And one thing's for certain about Rosalee...she digs Blutbads! She's into those wolf wesen's so much that it appears some of her character has rubbed off Turner in real life. While we were trying to conduct our interview about "Grimm's" season finale before it airs next Tuesday, she just couldn't keep her eyes off a randy Blutbad that wandered onto set.
Check it the vid below and see if you can stand the tension!

The 8 Most Whedony Things In The Full S.H.I.E.L.D. Trailer
Posted 5/14/13 5:50 pm EST by Eddie Wright in Marvel, TV
Yesterday we got a 30 second teaser for TV's ABC's "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." series and now we've been treated to an extended look at the superhero show. And the first thing that jumped out at me, other than the fact that there's a live-action TV series that exists in-continuity with a massively successful movie series based on a bunch of comics, is how Joss Whedony this sucker is going to be. Sure, Whedon is the man behind both the series and "Marvel's The Avengers" (which makes him the creative bus driver of the whole shebang). But for fans of Joss and his cult classics like "Buffy," "Angel," the original draft of "Alien Ressurection," "Firefly," and a few lines in "Speed," there's going to be a whole lot of those patented clever, cute, quick, and witty Whedonisms to get all shiny about.
Here are 8 bits and bites that I found.
Interview: Silas Weir Mitchell Offers A Wesen Lesson On His 'Grimm' Character
Posted 5/14/13 3:59 pm EST by MTV Geek in Interviews, TV
By Aaron Sagers
The big bad wolf lives in Portland, except he’s not all that bad since he discovered Pilates and an appreciation for wine. He does occasionally wolf out still, but now it is for the purpose of fighting monsters on the side of good or for his were-fox girlfriend.
Such is the life of Monroe, the fan-favorite character on "Grimm,” NBC’s fairy tale/cop procedural show which was recently renewed for a third season. And the man behind the wolfman is Silas Weir Mitchell, a character actor whose career has been transformed by Monroe – and not just in the ways of CGI or the prosthetic makeup he wears when things get hairy.

Poor Finn, Jake’s always waking that boy up when he’s trying to get some shut eye. Well, that was the case with this week’s "Adventure Time." Both the old and new not only started with a sleeping Finn, but showcased the good and bad side of Jake when it came to losing.
