At this writing, we still don’t know if there is a Frequency season two. So we can be thankful that the Frequency creators wrapped up the show’s possibly only season rather neatly. Sure, there’s a (slight) cliffhanger at the end, but meh. Deacon Joe walking his dog is hardly enough to make us even be anxious about…
The problem/fun of mysteries in TV and movies is that A plus A will probably never equal B, because where’s the fun in that? So while everything appeared to be steadily leading us toward Deacon Joe as the Nightingale, as many of you predicted, he, while a horrible person, is not the actual culprit.
I’m at the TCAs right now, and yesterday there was a question for a panel on yet another time travel show, ABC’s Time After Time. A few questions were brought up about the prevalence of time-travel series right now, and the producers pointed to the fun of the fantasy aspect. But, they pointed out, there are always…
We can talk a lot about taking a time machine and going back in time to kill Hitler. But the fact remains that if, given this unlikely opportunity, we would actually have to go back in time and kill someone. As Frequency gains momentum toward its final episodes of the season, Frank is faced with a similar dilemma:…
So Frequency ends its 2016 run with the reveal of the Nightingale: To no one’s surprise, it’s Deacon Joe. Frank, unfortunately, is bogged down in this Maricella and Stan malarkey: Something about a firebomb, and a cemetery meeting with invisible drug dealers?
As we get closer to the midseason finale of a multiple-episode mystery like Frequency, at least we get the advantage of hopefully getting closer to some actual answers, fewer red herrings.The creepiest camp ever is proving to be illuminating in that respect, as it has now possibly led us, eight episodes in, to the…
The whole premise of Frequency is cloaked in duality: the parallel lives of Raimy and Frank and how those two lives affect each other, 20 years apart. This oddly titled episode deftly piles on pair after pair, so that the differences across decades, or just across town, are even more pronounced.
As I’ve mentioned, Frequency is one of several time travel series on the air right now. Last night, Timeless’ Abigail Spencer tweeted, “Anybody wanna come get in my time machine?” Steeped in Frequency, I’ve been thinking a lot about why this possibility of tweaking the past as so popular. Even before the horrific…
Okay, I’ve been up all night with the Cubs, so maybe it’s the sleep deprivation talking, but I keep watching this episode and I’m having an awfully hard time tracking the four (four!) separate timelines: Present day, 1996, 2008 with Frank, and 2008 without Frank. It’s a lot. Even for non-baseball fans, it’s too much.
This episode of Frequency was supposed to run next week (episode five) instead of this week (episode four). It looks like next week’s episode will focus on Frank’s dirty cop corruption case, which is much less intriguing than the Nightingale case. So it appears that the show switched things around to try to draw more…
Between the Cubs-Dodgers game and the final presidential debate, I’m probably the only person in America who watched Frequency tonight outside of Peyton List’s mom. Still, let’s plow ahead, maybe you guys will catch up on Tivo or something later?
Many of the critiques of the new show Frequency appear to stem from the fact that it is based on a 2000 Dennis Quaid movie that no one seems to remember. Full disclosure: I have not seen this movie. But I have seen a multitude of time-travel series this fall (well, two at least: Timeless and The Flash) and Frequency’s…
A former horseman of the apocalypse will try to launch a country music career on Nashville next season: The Messengers’ Riley Smith has been cast as Markus Kane, the lead singer of a successful band who tries to go country when he goes solo. TV Line reports Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton) will lure him to her new…
