We open our merry Victorian episode of Doctor Who on the set of the Every Sperm is Sacred number from Monty Python’s Meaning of Life. Or as it’s better known, Yorkshire. Edmund has resolved to get to the bottom of this dark and queer business, and rushes off behind the door with the red glow. […]
We made it to the last episode. We slogged through those last couple episodes, clinging to the hope that there is going to be a payoff with this finale. Or at least some more stabbings. Joe’s story is drawing to a close and it’s looking pretty grim for him. He’s already been stabbed twice be […]
We begin our new episode of Game of Thrones in the BWB Batcave, where Thoros is leading evening prayers and Lord Beric is getting into character in preparation for Sandor Clegane’s trial by (wait for it) FIRE! First off, if this is supposed to be a fair fight in the eyes of the Red God, […]
We open this week’s episode of Doctor Who on the Nostromo/Nebuchadnezzar, or rather, the dingy greenish interior of a spaceship with grouchy dudes arguing about salvage. One of them is an android, one’s sleeping. And I’m guessing two of them are the Van Baalen bros., so one plays guitar and the other drums. Doc & […]
It could be that GRRM has a thing about hands. Hand of the King, Half-hand, Short-hand, you see where I’m going. And now we have Jaime with his hand strung around his neck, in a revolting parody of his dad’s badge of office. Ruthven’s boys are making dreary sport of him, for all he gives […]
We open in 1974, and this being England, it could pass for any time from 1950 to 1978 to me. If we’re in Scotland, my apologies. Anyway, drafty country estate, roomful of mad scientist electronics, Doctor and his lovely assistant at work on a mystery. No, not The Doctor, some other chap in cool glasses. […]
Alright, The Following. You started out strong and you’ve slowly petered out to drivel where you don’t let your female characters do anything but suck. I do not approve. Remember when our plucky FBI cult expert did stuff? Now she just stands in the background and looks concerned. Come on guys, you can do better […]
We open with the viking funeral of Cat’s dad. Doing the honors with the fire arrow is the sinister 2nd in command to Capt. Davos in last night’s Doctor Who. He’s having no better luck here, and after 3 misses gets roughly relieved of duty. (And totally owned.) And we have a debrief with Robbo, […]
North Pole! 1983! Not even really the 80s yet! Pretty much the 70s with cheaper synths! And beneath the slightly cheesy looking CGI depths, it’s a Soviet sub! And holy dickens, it’s Davos from Game of Thrones! His beard looks fantastic! OK, I’ll settle down. Capt. Davos and his sinister 2nd in command are doing […]
