Wow welcome to our Wednesday edition of Popcorn and Primetime and what a crazy ride. We have five shows tonight to go over Shield and Ravenswood from Tuesday that my dvr refused to record. I think I’m going to upgrade to a tivo dvr so I don’t miss any shows anymore. And then we are off to tonights new shows with Arrow, Tomorrow People and Coven. So if your ready set back, strap in, and get ready for one heck of a ride.
Ravenswood: “Pilot”
So we start off with ABC Family’s Ravenswood, which is a spinoff of Pretty Little Liars. This Show follows the Miranda Collins (Nicole Anderson) as she comes to the town of Ravenswood, Pa where her last remaining family member Raymond Collins (Steven Cabral) who sent her to live with strangers, over 10 years ago. . Miranda’s uncle is a mortician runs the town funeral home and cemetery. Caleb Rivers (Tyler Blackburn) meets Miranda on the bus to Ravenswood where he’s going to help his girlfriend, but after she meets Miranda and hears her story, she lets Caleb stay in Ravenswood. Caleb finds his tombstone in the cemetery, and vows to stay in Ravenswood until he figures out why he has one. As they explore the town, strange things begin happening around Miranda and Calab. The morning that they are there a family in in the graveyard trying to clean paint off a tombstone calling the mother a black widow. There was also the creepy girl behind the chair whose image also appears in a storefront reflection, that writes last chance when they walk away. While Caleb is taking a bath in an old style clawfoot bathtub someone tries to drown him. They enlist the help of Remy Beaumont (Britne Oldford), who works at the local newspaper, and father is the editor in chief. They begin looking into the old articles and finds where the kids with their names were killed in the early 1900s, Remy asks them to turn to a week earlier in the paper and it talks about a soldier that comes home from the war that miraculously survives even though the soldiers entire squad was killed. Remy all tells them that she had just done a paper where five more kids had been killed one week after a soldier had came home from a battle at they should not have survived. Miranda jokes “Once is Chance, Twice is Coincidence, Three Times is Enemy Action” saying it was a quote from Bond. Little do they realize they are the next set of teens, till they see the drowned girl on the bridge before they and the kids of the black widow plunge into the river.
I really think this is going to be a good show not sure how its going to make it multiple seasons though with it being in what I consider the hardest time slot of the season. 8 pm tuesdays. I am going to have to invest in something whether its dish or tivo because I have 5 shows that run during that time now. The crying statue gave me the willis
Marvel agents of S.H.I.E.L.D: “Girl in the Flower Dress”
Chan Ho Yin (Louis Ozawa Changchien) is a Hong Kong street performer who dreams of becoming big. He reveals his secret pyrokinetic ability to Raina (Ruth Negga) who convinces him that she can give him fame in exchange for running a few tests on his powers. The S.H.I.E.L.D. team attempts to trace his whereabouts but finds that it was the Rising Tide who leaked the information, and Skye is blamed. She protests her innocence and believes she knows another hacker who could have released the info. They head to Texas where it is revealed that Skye has a romantic relationship with the suspect Miles. They are both led back to the transport in handcuffs while the rest of the team flies off to rescue Yin. Yin discovers his captors are injecting him with Extremis which dilutes the painfulness of his flame powers and he becomes the villain Scorch. He attacks Coulson and May and they are forced to active the unstable element of Extremis which kills Chan. Miles is released from S.H.I.E.L.D.’s custody, though told that they would be watching. Coulson questions Skye and she tearfully reveals that the reason she is with the team is to find her Family who may have been shield Agents. Coulson pledges to help her find out what might have happened to them . Afterwards, Raina, who escaped Hong Kong, visits a mysterious man in prison and asks him to contact “the clairvoyant”.
So we get a little more tempo to this episode, also I’m glad that they went back to the super hero possibles. Thats what I thought Agents of shield was going to be more ove finding an converting or caging potentials.

This is becoming one of my favorite shows for the week and hopefully will be around for many more seasons. Tonight’s episode had the feeling of a SVU or CSI show. Which I loved. I can’t wait till the next episode.
Tomorrow People: “”Girl, Interrupted”
We start out with a memory tonight of a girl that is deaf, that kills her boyfriend when he starts to go to far using telekinesis, She then uses her ability to teleport to free her self from her cell before returning home to her father that loves her but sends her away because he doesn’t want her to be hurt. Meanwhile, Stephen is hanging out at a party reading minds for fun. The fun turns dread when he hears one girl thinking she’ll be dead in two days’ time. Both Cara and Ultra refuse to let him help her, so he comes up with a plan to make her drop her notebook so he’ll have an excuse to talk to her. He finds out that she is upset about her sister’s death, and the fact that her parents also blame her for the death.. On the ultra side of thing Stephen breaks into a very xmen based computer that seems strangely like Cerebro. Turns out Ultra set this up as a trap and Cara is captured. Stephen has his mind set to save her, he plan seemed suspicious to me though, because I could not see him turning on the one person who understood him. Cara is strapped to a table, set to either be killed or depowered, so Stephen suggests to Jedikiah she be depowered and then volunteers to do it, to prove his devotion to Ultra. It seems to go off without a hitch, but she’s still got her powers when they’re back on the subway home! Turns out Stephen stopped time and replaced the “cure” with a saline solution.
American Horror Story: Coven “ “The Replacements”
We start this Episode in New Orleans, 1971, with Fiona as a young adult. She is talking to the then Supreme asking
when she knew she was meant to be the next inline for the powers. She is told by the supreme that you have to master the 7 gifts of magic and then the council will bestow the honor to the young witch. She also tells her that as one Supreme grows in power the current supreme dies. We see that with both the Supreme that is in the flashback and Fiona in the current time. She tells the young Fiona that she is a spoiled brat and that she will not allow her to become the next Supreme, so Fiona takes it by slitting her throat. Young Fiona then cuts out the butler’s tongue so he can’t tell on her. Back in the present day Zoe goes to visit Ms Spencer, Kyle’s mom and find that she is taking his death horribly including considering suicide. Zoe decided that he needs to come home to her but little does she know Kyle’s mom has been raping him. When she leaves him alone with his mom she begins playing with his privates and he bashes her head in with his baseball trophy. Meanwhile Fiona has figured out Madison is a possible Supreme in the making, Fiona takes her out drinking and shows her all the abilities she could look forward to. She then tries to make Madison kill her but when she refuses she takes Madisons life. Also going on in the house The bull has come to kill Madame LaLaurie, Queenie takes a rag with Madame’s blood on it and lures him away from the house where she and he have sex.
Okay so this show is confusing me more and more this week,and to the writers nothing seems off limits. Personally I feel so bad for the teacher. All she wants to to have a child and it seems her magic is going to prevent her from continue her line. Same thing that is happening to her seems to be happening to her mother Fiona. Cordelia seeks out the voodoo queen but because of Fiona’s actions earlier in the series she refuses to help. Also the crazy christian mom bothers me but thats because there is a lot of bad blood throughout history between the two worlds.
