For once, everything seems to be going well in Terra Nova. Maddy’s got a hot date with her soldier BF, Copdad is taking Zoey on a tour of Skynet, and Taylor has a lead on the Sixer’s endgame. Then a meteor arrives and ruins everything. Don’t you hate it when that happens?

TERRA NOVA becomes Law & Order: Dinosaur Unit for a twisty sixth episode. When a man turns up murdered in the camp, it’s up to Copdad to actually live up to his name. Well, the first part at least. Meanwhile, Josh gets in with some bad dudes, and Jeff and Mark lose their minds trying to comprehend Terra Nova’s legal system (or lack thereof).

The A-plot finally shows up again for a ludicrously entertaining fifth episode of Terra Nova. Maddy embarks on the worst internship ever, while Copdad rescues a child who may or may not be a Manchurian candidate. Also: future-past courtship rituals, and yet another secret family. It’s a little something for everyone!

Copdad takes a trip down memory lane for an especially sci-fi episode of Terra Nova. When a mysterious virus causes Elizabeth to lose her memory, only the powers of science and cop intuition can save the day. Meanwhile, Josh continues his tradition of making weird friends, and Hot Mark continues the tradition of getting his ass kicked in front of his crush. Good times for everyone.

Terra Nova takes a sharp right turn into HornyTown for a truly bizarre (and entertaining) third episode. A former flame of Elizabeth’s arrives on the camp, short-circuiting CopDad and causing all heaps of trouble in the lab. To make matters worse, a horde of Demon Birds attacks the camp, determined to cockblock every potential lover, young and old. I wish I could make something like this up.

On its penultimate episode, Kings takes the fight to the streets and almost wins us over. With David on the chopping block and a revolution brewing behind the scenes, all that’s left for the show to do is light the fuse and watch the fireworks. And they don’t disappoint! Mostly. Also in this episode: a hilarious assassination attempt, King Silas’s DVD redistribution plan, and Home Alone being a delightful weirdo.

All rise for the courtroom chaos of KINGS, the honorable Episode 11 presiding! Golden Boy is brought to trial for treason, and Mark and Jeff are brought to the brink of losing their minds in the process. Alliances are built, broken, then burnt to the ground as the story of Shiloh rapidly collapses to towards its glorious (?) end. At least King Silas finds the time to wave knives at family members and take magical trips to his local...

It’s an episode of wild intrigue and bumbling manipulation in this ninth chapter of KINGS. When Prince Jack’s lover threatens to expose his homosexuality, the entire kingdom is thrown into a domino-chain of backstabbing. Meanwhile Home Alone reads newspapers ominously, and our favorite Golden Boy goes camping with a maniac.

What starts as a supremely petty party crash transforms into something magical on this surprisingly supernatural episode of KINGS. King Silas wanders his home, tangling with spirits of the past, while the Golden Boy and Princess enjoy the most chill mass failure of infrastructure ever. It’s strange, it’s a little silly, and we can’t get enough of it. Uh, also: mf’in DEATH shows up. Like for reals. You’re gonna wanna hear this one.
