CLASSIC BANDS GRACE THE PAVILION IF YOU GO

By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

What: Irem Temple Country Club Summer Concert Series Where: Irem Temple Country Club, 397 Country Club Road, Dallas When: Every Sunday, 8 p.m. Upcoming acts: July 24: big-band music by Seasoned Sounds. July 31: Southern gospel music by the Wehry Family Aug. 7: entertainment by the Irem Chanters Aug. 14: music by the Orpheus Choral Society Aug. 21: music by the Wyoming Valley Barbershop Harmony Chorus Aug. 28: music by the Irem String Band

s music from concerts around Northeastern PA filters through the summer air, many liken the word “pavilion” to the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain, a Moosicbased venue that’s a staple in the warm weather music scene. But, nestled away on Country Club Road in Dallas is another pavilion, one of an entirely different atmosphere, which showcases some of the area’s most talented musical acts. The Irem Temple Country Club Summer Concerts at the Pavilion is a concert series that runs every Sunday night from now until Aug. 28. The concerts have taken place at the Pavilion for more than 60 years. The pavilion is a smaller area that’s covered by a roof, with the sides left open. “I like that it’s outside, but concealed from the elements,” Harry Waggner, 67, of Shavertown,

said. “Even if it rains it’s OK. We can still come and see the show.” “We try to come to as many shows as we can,” said Lorraine Whedon, 63, of Swoyersville. “It’s a nice evening out to sit and enjoy music, and the musical acts are all just so talented.” The atmosphere is one of relaxation, though dancing crowd members can often be seen on the outskirts of the seats. The bands that grace the stage

are area classics, such as the Wyoming Valley Barbershop Harmony Chorus and the Irem’s very own String Band and Chanters. The Orpheus Choral Society of Wilkes-Barre is one such act that will play the pavilion on Aug. 14. According to accompanist Sue Lauer, who has been with the group for the past 35 years, the Choral Society has played at the pavilion for as long as she can remember.

“We always have a great time when we sing there,” she said. “It’s just such a pleasant place to be.” The Orpheus Choral Society sings everything from classic music to show tunes and patriotic music. It always tries to stick to its roots by singing at least one song in accordance with the nationality on which the Society was founded: Welsh. “We were founded over 100 years ago as a Welsh men’s glee club,” Lauer said. “Some time in the 1950s women were invited to join.” The group has around 30 par-

ticipants and, despite its cultural beginnings, is not exclusively Welsh. Lauer said the ages range from people in their 30s to those in their 80s. “In the past we had someone as young as 14,” Lauer said. “We’re actually looking for some youngsters to join us.” Lauer is looking forward to the performance in August, as she does every year. “For me it’s a bit of a double duty,” Lauer said. “My family has been involved with the masons for a long time, so being an Orpheus and being at the Pavilion has always been a part of my life.”

Brad Paisley gets wet and wild on tour IF YOU GO

By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

They say that behind every great man is a great woman, which is all well and good, but do you know what’s even better? Women behind guitars and drums and microphones, rocking out in support of a good cause. Women Who Rock VI will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday at the River Street Jazz Café. The lineup includes Kira Lee Krakovesky, Maria DuBiel, Shannon Marsyada, k8, Y.M.I., The Jeanne Zano Band, Phyllis Hopkins Band, Kriki and Ashes for Trees. Not only is the night packed with some of the best femalebased entertainment in the area, it’s all for a good cause. Proceeds will benefit the Domestic Violence Service Center in WilkesBarre. Leighann Burke, of Hazleton, is Y.M.I.’s vocalist and has participated in Women Who Rock every year since its inception. “As a woman, it’s an honor to be able to do it and support the cause,” she said. “I’m fortunate enough that I have never been a victim of domestic violence, but I can certainly empathize with those who have.” “It’s also awesome to be in the presence of all these other strong females, particularly those involved in the music scene. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily a male-dominated scene in the area, but there are definitely fewer female performers out there.” Burke has the chance to embody several strong female figures through her cover band, Y.M.I., which also consists of band mates Joe Molinaro, of Ha-

CHEERS! By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

eally Cooking Café and Supper Club in Dallas serves up some hot dishes, and now it’s serving up an even hotter libation: the French Martini.

“It’s becoming an incredibly popular drink,” George Creel, one of the owners of Really Cooking, said. “As far as it’s concerned here, people can’t get enough of it.” The main ingredient in the drink is Chambord, a premium black raspberry liqueur. Chambord is made from red and black raspberries, Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey and cognac. “Chambord can be pricey, so you can substitute DeKuyper Razzmatazz in its place,” Creel said. But, when it comes to SARA POKORNY/ way Really FOR THE TIMES LEADER the Cooking makes it, This French martini is quickly becoming the Creel will take most popular drink at nothing but the Really Cooking Café in best. Dallas. “We do like to use top-shelf liquor when it comes to a drink like this, as we feel it gives it the best taste possible.” As far as the taste of the French Martini goes, the Stoli vanilla vodka and pineapple juice coupled with the Chambord perfectly adds to the berry flavor of the liqueur. Another added perk is the Cosmopolitan Rimming Sugar used to garnish the glass. A trick to get it to stick is to take a slice of lime (which will also be used to garnish the drink) and run it around the rim, letting the lime juice act as a base for the sugar to stick to. If you think the touch of berry stops at the taste buds, you’d be wrong. “There’s a wonderful berry smell that accompanies the drink,” Creel said. “It’s summery and refreshing.” •••

Food creator’s dishes sizzle By SUSAN DENNEY For The Times Leader

When it comes to food, Phil Delzeit bubbleswithdelicious,offbeatideas,but don’t call him a food inventor. “I’m a food creator,” he says. “I think inventing is for something other than food.” Some of his most talked-about creationsincludePhillycheesesteakravioli, turducken (turkey/duck/chicken) soup, his own take on breakfast pizza and an entrée called “Little Mac and Cheese,” which contains all the elementsofafamousburgeraddedtomacaroni and cheese. But Delzeit’s newest and most popular creation, which is making the rounds locally, is the “Panana.” The “Panana” is a peanut butter and banana sandwich on white bread, dipped in funnel-cake batter and deepfried.Crispyontheoutsideandgooeyon the inside, the creation is served with a dusting of powdered sugar and a container of a chocolate raspberry dipping sauce, which Delzeit says is “to die for.” For those interested in an even more decadent taste experience, he’ll add strawberry jam, marshmallow fluff or even Nutella to the original peanut butterandbananasandwichbeforefryingit. The new sandwich, he admits, is hardly health food. “It’s fair food,” he says. “When people ask me how many calories it has, I just say ‘a billion.’ ” Delzeit doesn’t rule out starting a new national food craze with the “Panana,” for which he has big plans. He said a new website, www.pananaman.com, will be unveiled soon to help market his deepfried treat to a larger audience. Can’t wait that long? You can find Delzeit and taste the products of his fertile

From his stand at the ongoing indoor flea market, healsosellsfrozenitemssuchashisPhilly cheesesteak ravioli for customers to prepare at home. “We try to have fun at the flea market,” Delzeit says. Every few weeks his stand will have a customer-appreciation hour when vendors and customers can get free pizza. His latest plan is to include karaoke. “We’re going to call it ‘Sing for Your Slice,’ ” he said. The stand will provide costumes for the singers “in case they’re shy.” He plans to have a gorilla suit, a chicken suit, fake moustaches and more. If you’re not into the flea-market scene, you also might catch Delzeit selling his goods at several local fairs and festivals. His last appearance was at the Old Tyme Lawn Party in Pringle on the Fourth of July, and he’s set to sell at the Fall Festival in Luzerne on Sept.17 and18. And his breakfast pizza can be pur-

Delzeit, now of Luzerne, was raised in the North End section of Wilkes-Barre. “We moved up from Washington, D.C., right after the Agnes flood,” he says. He graduated from Coughlin High School in 1980. He credits a lot of his success to his mentor and employer of 23 years, Jim Januzzi of Januzzi’s Pizza. Delzeit works at the downtown location on East Northampton Street near Movies 14 and says of his employer, “Jim taught me to work hardandkeepacleanworkspace.Hehas always said that if you yourself wouldn’t thoroughly enjoy a dish do not present it to your customer.” Delzeit is allowed to create his new items in Januzzi’s warehouse. “Jim’s advice has helped me along. He’s really good with the time off I need to set up for the events,” Delzeit said. “I really look up to him. “ Delzeit also credits his family members. “My business is a family affair. My father-in-law, Bernie Wolensky, who lives near Bear Creek, is always there with me at the stand,” Delzeit, 50, says. Sons Alan, Phillip and Joey and daughter Sarah, 8, contribute, as well. Sarah just designed the “Panana” T-shirt, which will be available soon. But without his wife, Susan, the food creator says, he would never have made it this far. “She puts up with a lot,” he admits.

By RICK BENTLY McClatchy Newspapers

riends With Benefits” is really like two people having sex without any obligations: Everything’s OK as long as you don’t need any emotional connection and just want the immediate gratification of a few jokes about romantic comedy cliches.

Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis play two driven young professionals who don’t have time for all the trappings of love and romance. They agree to become sexual partners purely for the physical act. Emotional baggage is to be left outside the door. But it wouldn’t be a romantic comedy if the plan worked. Director Will Gluck manages to generate enough laughs by taking shots at romantic comedies to get you through the night. He pokes fun at such standards as the wacky friend and the never-ending series of misunderstandings that lead to one big emotional moment where the couple faces their real feelings. Timberlake and Kunis have some chemistry and are at their best when they

are trading snappy banter. Gluck’s comedy “Easy A” — an assault on ’80s teen angst movies — had far more venom and, in turn, was funnier. He throws jabs at romantic comedies, but he never seems willing to deliver the knockout punch. That’s made clear through what is a very predictable ending. The film wanders into some very good — but misplaced — moments with the parents of both partners. Jenna Elfman, Richard Jenkins and Patricia Clarkson turn in great dramatic performances that in any other film would be a bonus. “Friends With Benefits” does have something else going for it. Any movie that makes fun of Katherine Heigl’s growing list of bad romantic comedies is OK in my book.

DVD releases about men on a mission top this week’s new releases. “Take Me Home Tonight,” Grade C-: A college graduate (Topher Grace) pretends he has a successful job to impress the woman he’s loved since high school. Grace, who’s also executive producer, wanted to make a nostalgic look at the ’80s — not another film jabbing the era of big hair, leg warmers and shoulder pads. The problem is the decade had so little going for it that if you don’t poke fun at it there’s little reason for the setting. The chemistry between Grace and Teresa Palmer is nice, but it’s not

Too bad that drug wasn’t given to screenwriter Leslie Dixon in adapting Alan Glynn’s novel. The movie might have had more than 20 percent of a plot. The potential of “Limitless” was just that. It fails. Under director Neil Burger’s disjointed direction and Cooper’s cold performance, the movie should be called “Hapless.”

Gritty production design, well-choreographed action scenes and energetic pacing also help the movie, which was produced by

Scranton native Eugene Musso. ••• “DAMAGES: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON” (2009, Sony, unrated, $40): A family of financial fraudsters (Lily Tomlin, Len Cariou, Campbell Scott, Martin Short) makes the mistake of tangling with ruthless attorney Patty Hewes (Glenn Close). The use of flash forwards – the show’s signature – occasionally seems gimmicky, but there are enough plot twists, dramatic

showdowns and superb performances (including a turn by East Stroudsburg’s Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick as Scott’s son) to keep you riveted. ••• “HEY DUDE: SEASON 1” (1989, Shout Factory, unrated, $20): Before she starred as Marcia in “The Brady Bunch” movies – and went on to marry Ben Stiller – Allentown native Christine Taylor top-lined this live-action series from Nickelodeon. The action revolves around a posse of teenagers (Taylor, David Lascher, Kelly Brown) working summers at the Bar None Ranch in Tucson, Ariz.

Pirate musical shivers ye timbers By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

When Grouper, the cook on the pirate ship Ma’Lady, tentatively offers “sardines and sea salt” for breakfast, Captain Flotsam is pleased. “Mmm. Me favorite!” he growls happily. “A fine square meal for any seadog!” But the crew is dissatisfied. Sick of nothing but sardines to eat morning, noon and night, they want to go ashore — land, ho! — in search of provisions. The captain agrees to this, even though he’s shunned terra firma for 20 years himself, and he soon becomes desperate for his men to set off on an expedition when he realizes his beloved “bedtime bear,” the one that perches on his shoulder like a parrot, is missing. “Leave no timbers unshivered,” he orders them. “If ye don’t find him don’t bother comin’ back.” Welcome to “The Landlover: A Pirate Musical,” written, co-directed and produced by Richard Cannaday of the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble as BTE’s annual summer family show. As if he wasn’t busy enough, Cannaday also plays the title role, a character he describes as “half Harold Hill from ‘The Music Man’ and half Shaggy from ‘Scooby Doo.’ You almost expect him to pull some trail mix out of his pocket.” Actually, what the landlover (a person the pirates encounter — where else? — on land) can offer

Or is there much more to this mystery than you’d first suspect? Cannaday and his cast of young pirates want the plot’s twists and turns to be a surprise for their audiences, but they’re happy to discuss other aspects of the show. Alexa Spaventa of Northumberland, for example, will tell you it

enough. The other kind, she surmised, would be “even grosser.” Then there’s that other perplexing situation, the one that has Captain Flotsam, played by grown-up BTE member Danny Roth, stomping around the deck in boots, nightshirt and tri-corner hat calling for his lost bear. “I’d freak out if my boss had a bedtime bear,” Spaventa said. At what age do most people give up sleeping with a stuffed animal? Spaventa had a firm opinion on that: “Ten or 12,” she said.

Life’s a ‘Cabaret’ at the Music Box Playhouse

PAGE 14

By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

This isn’t the kind of musical that ends with the main characters locked in a happy embrace, driving off in a surrey with fringes or even striding along an Alpine path to safely escape from the Nazis. “Cabaret” is a seedier, more somber tale — set in the Berlin of the early 1930s — and its Nazi villains are as troublesome and hard to ignore as a brick through the window. “There is some sadness,” admitted Dana Feigenblatt, who is directing the show for Music Box Playhouse in Swoyersville. “But it also brings out some happier moments.” Among the more light-hearted aspects is the budding romance between Sally Bowles, a dancer at the burlesque Kit Kat

Club, and an American writer named Cliff Bradshaw. “She works her way into his room,” Feigenblatt said, explaining how the character of Sally comes to stay at the boarding house run by one Fräulein Schneider. Fräulein Schneider herself, incidentally, enjoys a touching romance with an elderly Jewish fruit seller — who delights her one day with a gift she can eat. “If you brought me diamonds, if you brought me pearls, if you brought me roses, like some other gents might bring to other girls, it couldn’t please me more than the gift I see, a pineapple for me,” she sings to him gratefully. “If I could,” he responds, “I would fill your entire room with pineapples.” Alas, such a fruitful union is not to be. Considering the rise of the Nazi party, the persecution of Jewish people, and the

general riskiness of life in 1930s Berlin, “Cabaret” isn’t one of those happily-everafter shows. Still, it does portray several characters handling adversity the best they can, Feigenblatt said, and it provides a venue for some catchy music. “There’s the classic ‘Wilkommen’ and ‘Don’t Tell Mama’ and of course, the title song, ‘Cabaret.’ ”

Ronnie Ziomek (behind the mask) and Kevin Costley (the Master of Ceremonies) appear in the musical ‘Cabaret’ through Aug. 7 at the Music Box Playhouse in Swoyersville.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

‘Killing’ killer will be revealed Q. It is all your fault that I am suffering from frustration. You said “The Killing” was so good that I watched. So intriguing was the story that I stayed through all 11 episodes. Since I’m almost 80, I told my son that if I died before “The Killing” ended, he should come to my grave and tell me “who done it.” And then they left you hanging. How could they be so cruel? I’ll tell you one thing, I’m not signing on for another 11 episodes. A. You are not the only person to write in unhappily about the way the AMC series did not resolve its main mystery — who killed Rosie Larsen — at season’s end. (The first season also ran 13 episodes, so I hope you did not miss a couple.) Another reader griped that the finale “was so contrived and idiotic that I found myself actually laughing as it ended.” A top AMC executive told Entertainment Weekly that the network had not expected such a backlash and it “underestimated the passion viewers have for closure within this season.” According to the Hollywood Reporter, Veena Sud, who ran the series, was pleased by the passion of the reaction — comparing it to that for the ambiguous series finale of “The Sopranos.” She has promised the second season will reveal Rosie’s killer.

aside a certain time for a project, and life will get in the way. This is not a test of your resolve. It’s more likely an opportunity to recognize what’s more important. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The same is true of lunches and parachutes — you’re better off packing your own today. The more self-reliant you are the better equipped you’ll be to create a happy outcome. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Another person is thinking intently about you. It feels nice to know you are being considered. But you should also know that the other person sees you not how you are, but how he or she expects you to be. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your calm satisfaction lives outside the boundaries of

Your concentration is strong, and you ride this day like an expert surfer riding the ultimate wave. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There will be a beautiful continuity to this day, as though things are picking up where they left off and progressing to interesting places. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Here’s something to do before you invite a task into your life: Find out how much effort it will take. Ask questions about the timeframe.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The idea of

being late is, in some realms of thought, ridiculous. You are where you are when you are there. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just because you make a wrong choice doesn’t mean you owe yourself a punishment. Try to bring more understanding to the scene instead. You’ll do better next time. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 22). Dedicating yourself to loved ones helps you grow in athletic, mechanical, technical and artistic ability. You’ll use physical energy to build and generate wealth through the fall, but in 2012, you’ll earn by making intelligent decisions. Scorpio people adore you.

ottages and docks at Nuangola Lake took on the appearance of a toga party, a luau, a sleepover, Alice in Wonderland’s tea party and many other scenarios as residents took part in the annual decorating contest sponsored by the Nuangola Lake Association. People were able to admire the displays from boats or by walking along a path, long-time resident Olga Nosovitch said, and the scene looked especially attractive when it was lit by luminaries at dusk. After judges assigned points for lighting, sound, originality, visual effect, the top winners were announced. The Pines Association won in the non-animated category and the Connell family won in the animated category.

The deer ended up sitting in an Adirondack chair in this display, which Cindy Miklos helped put together for the Pine Association. Betsy Reichart was the principal designer of the display, which took first place in the non-animated decoration category.

THE GUIDE

desert, digging for trinkets. Rogers is treated with scorn by his commanding officer, played by the commanding (and funny) Tommy Lee Jones. Rogers is sent on publicity tours, given a silly costume and a red, white and blue shield. But a little interference by a British agent (Hayley Atwell), a little gadget-tinkering by Howard-father-of-Tony-Stark (Dominic Cooper)andaUSOtourtothefrontlines means this Captain will soon show his mettle. Others may roll their eyes at the motorcycle chase ripped from “Star Wars” and a certain upgraded flying prop from “Raiders.” The

“borrowings” made me giggle, just as I marveled over the scenes where Rogers first encounters a group known in early comics as “Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos.” There’s a lot here for the fanboy in us all. It’stoolonganditcoulddowitha few more laughs. Why cast the swaggering Evans as the modest CaptainAmericaifyou’renotgoing to let him put his quirky stamp on the character? But then, like Johnston and the movie around him, Evans has so much business and back story to carry that the real marvel of it all is how much fun it actually is.

SLOTS PAYOUTS

Blackjack players know that with the exception of blackjack hands that pay 3 to 2, they must risk a dollar for every dollar they potentially win. Other casino games and bets, including slot machines and table games such as Let it Ride, offer the chance that a player might win big or make a small hit on any given bet. Roulette, like craps, offers the player a chance to choose if he or she wants to play better odds but for just an even-money payoff; long shots for a big payoff of 35-1; or some combination of the two on the same spin of the wheel. Unlike craps, roulette is very simple to follow, helping make it one of the world’s most popular casino games. There are 38 numbers on the roulette wheel in most United States casinos. Those with 37 numbers – only a 0 and not a 00 — offer better odds but are available only in limited casinos and usually just to those willing to gamble at higher limits. The 0 and 00 provide the house edge in the bets that pay off even money and provide the basis for the standard 5.26 percent house edge in place at local casinos and any that do not offer half the money back on even-money bets when one of the zeroes hits. Players can bet half the board, excluding the zeroes, by choosing between red or black, odd or even, or 1-18 or 19-36. These bets appear along the outer edge of the betting layout, along with those in which a player can choose12 numbers for a 2-1payout. In that case, a $10 bet would get the player $20 and the return of his/

her original $10. To bet12 numbers at a time, players can choose 1-12, 13-24, 25-36 or any of the three columns that include a series of 12 numbers, such as 1, 4, 7, 10, etc. Table minimums are posted for how much needs to be bet on each spin of the wheel. These are separated into the inside, where players bet particular numbers and/or combinations of adjacent numbers, and the outside for the abovementioned bets. Any bet on the outside must on its own meet the table minimum. Those placed on the inside need only to meet the minimum when they are all added. Players can bet inside, outside or both. Using both provides the combination of the relative insurance of playing close to an even-money bet at the same time the player is seeking a big payoff. All bets are placed by putting chips on a number, lines joining a combination of numbers or boxes

representing bets, such as black. For the casino to track each player’s bet, players are generally given colored chips signifying $1 or $5 to place around the board. Each player has his own color. The biggest potential payoff comes from putting a chip or chips on a single number. If that number hits, it pays off at a 35-1 rate. Any line connecting two numbers, such as 10/11 or 14/17, pays 17-1 if either number hits when the roulette wheel is spun. Playing a “street,” which is a row of three numbers, pays 11-1. The basket combination of 0/00/2 also pays 11-1. A corner connecting four numbers pays 8-1. A sixline, connecting two streets, pays 5-1. There is only one bad bet to be made. All other bets have the same 5.26 percent house edge, except betting the five numbers (0, 00, 1, 2, 3) pays 7-1 and gives the house an edge of 7.89 percent. As long as a player avoids the five-number bet, there is no such thing as a wrong bet once one chooses to play roulette. Players should recognize that blackjack and craps have less of a house edge. Roulette is often offered at limits and plays at a pace that players could get the feel of stretching their gambling dollars, particularly if they play the 1-1 and 2-1 bets. Or they could choose to make it riskier and put all of their money on one or a very few numbers. The ability to choose which range to play within can help make roulette an enjoyable option. Few games can be maneuvered quite as much to offer the player exactly the combination of likely payback or potential big payoff sought.

THE GUIDE

‘Falling Skies’ invades Sunday night By MICHELE AED maed@timesleader.com

Millions of aliens have arrived! Well, fictionally speaking. The new series “Falling Skies” on TNT has become my new Sunday (10 p.m. EST) obsession. After a worldwide, unexplained alien invasion, a community of survivors, declared the 2nd Mass regime, for its location on the outskirts of Boston, has banded together and taken refuge inside a local high school. A civilian military has been formed with main character, Tom Mason, second in command. Mason is survived by his two sons: Ben, who has been captured by alien forces; and high-school senior, Hal. Sadly, Mason’s wife was killed in the initial invasion. Head of the military resistance is war-seasoned Captain Weaver, a strong-headed, commanding character. The assault on Earth has prevented all use of electronics from satellites to cars and radios. All major cities and military bases have been destroyed, leaving citizens of Earth to form the “resistance” and fight for survival. In the two-hour pilot, we learned of two types of aliens: fast and ample, spiderlike beings, nicknamed Skitters; and Mechs, giant, upright, destructive robots. Skitters have taken children of Boston hostage, including Tom’s

son, Ben, and attached a harness onto each child’s spinal cord. Through the harness, a skitter controls individual groups of slave children’s actions, including an attack on the 2nd Mass’s soldiers who attempted to rescue them. The groups collect scrap metal by day and rest inside an abandoned hospital by night. Though the weekly storyline moves slowly, it is actionpacked, and new, mind-bending knowledge of the aliens and their tactics is acquired in the onehour episodes. With a doctor on the resistance’s side, successful harness removal from children’s spines became possible (after a few children died during experimental attempts). Without giving away too much, episodes are available for streaming on TNT.com. Take a deep breath before watching. A prisoner-of-war skitter is inside the school, as well as human prisoners. Slave children are slaughtered by their alien group controller. Scary Mechs shoot bullets, and lasers blow big things up into a million pieces. The battles are fierce and involve gallons of slimy skitter matter. The jaw-dropping moments, all-too-real special effects and cutting-edge intelligence gathered by the resistance are what make you want to keep watching.
