“Van Helsing” season-opener, 10 p.m., Syfy. After four seasons in a near-future world, this goes back to the roots of vampire-hunting: It starts its final season with three episodes set in old Romania. This opener was beautifully directed by Jonathan Scarfe, a gifted actor (and son of Canadian star Sara Botsford) who later will return to his role as Axel. Jack (Nicole Munoz) has been flung into the past, told only to “kill the Dark One.” That’s not easy, amid castle schemes.
“Great Performances: Beethoven in Beijing,” 9-10:30 p.m., PBS. When the “cultural revolution” raced through China in 1966, classical music collapsed. Violins were smashed, violinists were beaten; only six operas and two ballets all of them praising the government were approved. Then the Philadelphia Orchestra was somehow invited in 1973. Disputes would follow (including whether to do Beethoven’s Fifth), but it was a triumphant tour, shown via old film and current comments.

Beneath Perfection: Thoughts on the Entire TREMORS Franchise By Giallo Julian
Tremorswas a film I constantly watched as a kid. I remember going to the video store every weekend, just to rent the first two movies for the 100th time. That was back when there were only two to watch. Now there are seven films. Seven! Who would have thought there would be seven
Tremors flicks (AND a series)?!?
So here’s the thing…I’m very passionate about this series. My love for these films has only grown over the years, and although I do have my criticisms, I always find myself watching the entire series again every couple of months. I wasn’t quite sure how I was going to talk about it initially. A ranking from best to worst? Not really my style. An in-depth essay about each film? I don’t think anyone has time for all that. Scrapping the article and just watching the movies again? No, that wouldn’t be fair to all you amazi
