Claire Coffee: Grimm’s Adalind

Claire Coffee

Grimm’s Adalind Schade is played by the beautiful Claire Coffee who spent the episode talking with Slice about her role as a nemesis. ST:TNG was one of her favs and influenced her desire to do genre series. Claire wishes that eating brains was more refreshing. She delivers a recap for those of you who have yet to adopt Grimm, complete with spitting eyeballs, arm ripping and self-induced pregnancy. So why does everyone want to kill her?? Is it because Claire loves watching Dexter?

“Star Trek: The Next Generation:” The Best of Both Worlds — A Slice of SciFi Blu-Ray Review

star-trek-tng-season-3-blu-ray

Forget “Who Shot J.R.?” For my money, the greatest season-ending cliffhanger in television history occurred in the summer of 1990 as the third season of Star Trek: The Next Generation came to a close with Riker uttering three words that would keep me (and tons of other fans) on the edge of their seats for three very long months.

“Doctor Who — The Rings of Akhaten” — A Slice of SciFi Review

ringsof2

While I appreciate all the complexities of a Steven Moffat written script, every once in a while it’s nice to see Doctor Who take the less is more approach.

As is the case with this week’s installment, “The Rings of Akhaten.”

“The Evil Dead” (2013) — A Slice of SciFi Review

evildead_feature

If you’re planning to see the Evil Dead reboot, take my advice and don’t spring for the extra large tub of popcorn and extra large soda. Odds are you won’t get to finish either one. One is that the movie clocks in at a mere ninety minutes and the other is that by the time you get to the equivalent of the second reel, odds are you may not feel much like eating any more.

“The Walking Dead” — Season Three Review

walkingdead3_feature

For the most popular, scripted series on television, you’d think The Walking Dead would be a lot better than it is. Or maybe I should say you’d think the series could be more consistent. A solid stretch of episodes to start season three were ultimately let down by the back half of the season.
