Herc’s Seen Saturday’s Antepenultimate KINGS And Says It’s Well Worth A Look!!

I am – Hercules!!




NBC’s cancelled alternative-universe primetime soap “Kings” (created by a writer of both “Heroes” and the Ryan Reynolds “Green Lantern” movie) has emerged as one of the network’s best new dramas in some time.

Tonight’s third-to-last installment proves eventful, surprising, anything but standalone and (the subplot about the fat, lovesick Guildensternian guard notwithstanding) free of a lot of the silliness that has hobbled prior episodes.

A two-part series finale follows next Saturday and the Saturday after, and I confess I’m quite keen to see where all this is going. I suspect you will be too. NBC says of tonight’s installment, titled “Javelin”:

David (Chris Egan) is arrested for treason and Silas (Ian McShane) puts the trial in Jacks (Sebastian Stan) hands. Meanwhile, an unexpected medical condition pulls Michelle (Allison Miller) away from Davids trial and brings her closer to Rose (Susanna Thompson). Also stars Eamonn Walker and Dylan Baker.

8 p.m. Saturday. NBC.
