The deaths of Newt, Corporal Dwayne Hicks, and Ellen Ripley in 1992’s Alien 3 created a significant obstacle to the franchise’s continuation. Five years later, Alien: Resurrection answered this problem by resurrecting central heroine Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) as a clone, spliced with xenomorph DNA thanks to the alien queen embryo gestating within the actual Ripley before her death. How Resurrection handled this pesky problem, and the return of the xenomorphs proved extremely divisive upon release, with one notable, unifying exception: the mesmerizing underwater chase sequence.
Resurrection takes place two centuries after Alien 3 and follows the mercenary crew of the starship Betty. The mercs deliver their human payload to the Usm Auriga, a military ship deep into their extensive scientific study of the xenomorphs. So much so that they’ve cloned Ripley numerous times over and have full-grown xenomorphs in captivity, which happen to break free while the Betty crew are on board,...

Castle (TV) hears dead people! Or, at least, their victim believed she could. In an episode befitting start of the Halloween season, Castle tries to convince Beckett (Stana Katic) that not everything can be easily explained when it comes to the world of psychic mediums. When psychic medium Vivian Marchand's (Patricia Tallman) daughter Penny (Rachel Boston) walks into her mother's apartment looking for her, she finds more than she bargained for. After calling her mom's cell phone, the ringing coming from the couch leads Penny to find her mother's body, stabbed with an ice pick and stuffed into the roll-away bed inside the sofa. Castle (Nathan Fillion) has just found out that his own mother, Martha (Susan Sullivan) has a new piece of ice on her finger, compliments of her boyfriend proposing. Martha isn't sure she wants to marry him, however, and while she stews over that dilemma, Castle is called to the crime scene.

Before this episode even started, I was excited -- now that's something new. The way (in previews) that Hastings yelled "Security!" made my heart feel jumpy. Seeing Kayla being readied for a beheading video -- straight out of past headlines -- hit a nerve (and made me wish for the beheading of several other characters). And hearing the words "a twist" always, er, gets my panties in a twist, so there's that! But they frakking wussed out and went for a plastic bag! Seriously? A Ziploc is the new terrorist weapon of choice? Someone get the Faa on this, and I guess we'll have to find something else in which to carry on all our teeny bottles of stuff when we fly. While the episode was a standout in terms of the main plot being moved forward with some good tension and an actual surprise or two, I just wanted...
