Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), a medical engineer, is embarking on her first shuttle mission when a routine spacewalk goes horribly awry. Adrift in space, she must team up with soon-to-be retired astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) in order to survive.
River’s Run, the latest in Telos Publishing’s run of series guides, tackles the story of Doctor Who in 2011.
After a daring break-in at the palace, Ariadne received news of her long lost brother who was believed dead. With the intruder caught, the Princess concealed his news but a suspicious Pasiphae set out to uncover the truth.
Over the course of these two episodes, Orphan Black gives us most of the desired answers to its key questions.
Even in 2013 society doesn’t respect its elders, or treat them well enough. It’s as if those ’70s and ’80s pop hits ‘Grandpa We Love You’, and ‘There’s No One Quite Like Grandma’ were all for naught.

In the opening moments of ‘Pure As The Driven’, a policeman is hurled through the first floor window of an East London building and impaled on the iron railings below, and – BAM! – just like that we’re back in the grimy, gritty, glorious action of BBC One’s Victorian crime drama Ripper Street.
