Warning: The following contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of Preacher.

Leave it to Preacher, one of the topsy-turviest shows on TV, to deliver a finale for Season 2 that, at turns, left us going, “Huh?” “Wait, what?” “Holy s—!” “Is this really happening?” “Whew!” “No, no, no, no, no!” and, finally, “Oooh.” Is your head still spinning? While the dizziness dissipates, let’s review the big twists served up by “The End of the Road,” then, once if you’ve regained your equilibrium, you can grade the episode and hit the comments with your review.

Last Week’S Episode: Rick Goes Dumpster Diving in ‘New Best Friends’

Whose Episode Is It?

If you were worried that “The Walking Dead” was getting a bit too absurd in the back half of Season 7, then worry no more, since we’re back at the main Savior compound this week to check in on Eugene and Dwight. Each man is assessing his place in the Savior hierarchy, as Dwight must reckon with Daryl and Sherry’s escape and what that means for him, while Eugene finds that life with the Saviors might not be as bad as he feared. It’s strong parallel storytelling, making “Hostiles and Calamities” another solid entry in this half-season. It’s a grim episode, but it’s grimness with purpose.

A Shred of Humanity

We’ll start with Dwight, who discovers that Daryl has escaped and what’s worse, he had help from Dwight’s ex-wife,...

If Castle‘s plan is to lead up to that finale with a series of episodes that feature the show doing what it does best… that’s almost a bit mean, yes?

Because “Much Ado About Murder,” like “Dead Again” before it, featured a pretty perfect blend of 1) good mystery, 2) interesting suspects, 3) Rick/Kate cuteness and 4) some sort of “personal runner” involving a supporting character.

Here, we had a ripped-from-the-headlines-ish case, in which a movie star hogs a Broadway role for which he is entirely unqualified. Yet so desperate was the guy,...

This week, Patrick, Rick, Aaron and Tim sit back and reminisce on some of their fondest memories playing video games as kids. Among the many topics discussed is the Panasonic 3Do, a home video game console platform developed by The 3Do Company — the Magnavox Odyssey is the first commercial home video game console — Legendary Wings, a long-lost Nes title — and Pokemon Red & Blue. In our main event, we sit down and discuss the latest Nintendo Direct and the Final Fantasy/Super Smash Bros. news that shocked everyone. We take some time to also discuss The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and the introduction to Linkelle. In our last segment, we invite PopOptiq’s Games Editor Mike Worby to announce the Super Mario Maker Challenge winners. All this and more!

GoldenEye 007 was originally conceived as an on-rails shooter inspired by Sega’s Virtual Cop, before being redesigned as a free-roaming shooter. Highly revered by gamers worldwide, GoldenEye 007 is often credited with kick-starting the first-person shooter craze on consoles and if not for GoldenEye, a franchise like Call of Duty might never have been. This week we discuss the N64 classic along with Kingdom Hearts, and the unbelievable size of Xenoblade Chronicles X. Rick also announces the big news that he purchased a new console but we won’t say which. You’ll just have to listen and find out. All this and more.

Have you ever wondered what Rick Springfield's hit song, "Jessie's Girl," was really about? Well, Jimmy Kimmel was curious, and was able to secure an "exclusive," "never-before-seen" video of Springfield and his band first recording the song on Dec. 15, 1980. He then showed his Jimmy Kimmel Live! audience the footage Wednesday. The video shows Rick, who played a younger version of himself, with his band in the recording studio, joined by the drummer, Jessie, and his beautiful blond girlfriend, Monica. Rick is back with his signature helmet hair and '80s-style clothing and classic sunglasses. The musicians' session started off well, but as soon as Rick sang, "Jessie's got himself...

Irt: Deadliest Roads - Blu-ray Review

I am a reality television fiend when it comes to Ice Road Truckers.

Yes, there is no ice this time around but that doesn’t make this series any less thrilling. Missing a few episodes when it aired and then just waiting for the chance to see all the episodes all at once when it hit Blu-ray this was really well worth the wait. For those of us who enjoy series like this Irt: Deadliest Roads does not disappoint.

Instead of cold driving truck drivers going across snowy strips of ice we’ve got a trio of drivers making their way on some of the most sinister roads in India. Brimming with genuine humor and the...

While it’s true that most of us Rejects write about films because we’re not quite bright enough to deal with the real world, so we live in fantasy land. Every now and then though, one of us, in a moment of confusion, ends up watching The History Channel and accidentally being exposed to something that could potentially teach us. This scares us and to get rid of the memories, we gather up anything that reminds us of that unpleasant experience and give it away. What I’m really trying to say is that The History Channel, our buds, gave us a pretty sweet prize package to celebrate Ice Road Truckers: Deadliest Roads hitting the air and we figured you guys like free stuff, so we’re giving it to you. Part of this deal is that we do the monkey dance and make you read the official copy, which...

Ice Road Truckers has always been one of those shows that just missed me. Reality shows frequently have trouble getting the final experience to match up with their on paper sell, but Irt worked that problem in the opposite direction of most. When I first heard about the show, I couldn’t imagine the interest. Well, apart from a certain Nascar “maybe a truck will go in the drink” sort of interest. Amazingly, the show has delivered, and the ratings show that I’m not alone in thinking so.

Still, as I mentioned, the show didn’t completely hook me. The crew is taking things up a notch now with Ice Road Trucker Deadliest Roads, and it’s hard to deny that this one makes it difficult to look away. We’ve moved to a job hauling loads in the Himalayas, on roads where on average someone dies every 4.5 minutes.

If you thought the ice roads of Alaska were tough-trucking, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Lisa Kelly, Rick Yemm and Alex Debogorski of The History Channel's 'Ice Road Truckers' fame are leaving the frozen tundra of the Dalton Highway for the out-of-this-world trucking action of the Himalayan Mountains on a new spinoff, 'Irt: Deadliest Roads' (premiering Sun., Oct. 3 at 10Pm Et).

Look for the guys and gal to navigate the crowded streets of Delhi -- locals aren't very attentive to traffic signals over there -- and the Himalayan roadways, which date back to 206 B.C. The Himalayan route, first built for yaks, has historically connected Central Asia with South Asia and provided a bridge among the cultures of India, China, Afghanistan, Nepal and Bhutan.

"Irt: Deadliest Roads", is a new reality series premiering October 3, 2010 on History.

"..'Ice Road Truckers: Deadliest Roads', takes some of the toughest truckers from one of History's most popular programs and challenges them to haul their way through a new kind of hell on earth. 'Irt: Deadliest Roads' will test everything the ice truckers have learned in more than 40 combined years of driving, forcing them to adapt to white-knuckle road and driving conditions unlike anything they have ever faced.

"From the crowded streets of Delhi to treacherously steep, narrow and congested roads blasted into the mountainside, they're about to embark on an exhilarating, exhausting and terrifying adventure. India's Himalayan roadways are among the most historic on the planet. Dating back to 206 B.C., the Himalayas were an integral part of the famous Silk Routes, connecting Central Asia with South Asia, and creating a bridge between culturally and religiously diverse countries such as India,...
