Well, it looks like a perverse form of justice has finally caught up with Cersei. And, considering the kind of world Game of Thrones exists within, it’s amazing that justice of any kind has reached a character, particularly one so well versed in scheming as Cersei. But here we are, with Cersei in a Black […]
Someone has to kill Ramsay Bolton, right? They have to. Because that scene was just about the most horrific thing Game of Thrones has ever given us. And that is saying a lot, considering some of the truly twisted things the series has done in the past. We have all known that Ramsay is plain […]
Well, Don Draper didn’t exactly ride off into the sunset. Rather, Mad Men ended with Don sitting on a cliff as the sun rose, possibly coming up with Coke’s most iconic commercial. It also ended with everyone (save poor Betty) getting what they wanted. So many people got happy endings (yes, even Joan, despite losing […]
Was “My Name is Oliver Queen” a great end to season three? Not really. Did it make up for the mess that Arrow has become throughout the last half of the season? Nope. But, it resolved the lingering storylines well enough. And, considering how the episode could have really gone off the rails, I suppose […]
Damn it, Matt Weiner. You made me cry over Betty. Not only that, but you made me wish that we could have learned a bit more about Betty throughout the season, now that we know her time is coming to an end. Damn it. I’ve never been a big Betty cheerleader, but I’ve never actively […]
We are officially halfway through the fifth season of Game of Thrones and things are moving along relatively smoothly. After two weeks of fast moving episodes that crammed in some excellent character development alongside important plot points, “Kill the Boy” slowed things down a bit. Not a whole lot happened within the episode, but the […]
I was really excited to watch “This is Your Sword” because I thoroughly enjoyed last week’s “Al Sah-him.” And that is something I haven’t been able to say much this season, much to my disappointment. But “Al Sah-him,” which I didn’t get to review due to my vacation last week, was as strong of an […]
Well, Mad Men is certainly back on track after a shaky start. I’m still not entirely certain why we needed the all Megan hour (and I still maintain my wish that we used that time to further flesh out our central characters), but these last two installments have certainly been more in line with the […]
Well, Game of Thrones is really on a roll now. “The Sons of the Harpy” wasn’t quite as strong as last week’s “High Sparrow,” but it was another strong episode, full of interesting plot movement and character development. While some fan favorites were missing this week (namely, Arya and Brienne), we did get another look […]
Hands down, “High Sparrow” is the strongest episode Game of Thrones has had since way back in season three. So many strong character moments, excellent plot movement, and a major storyline twist even book readers didn’t see coming (mostly because Sansa is far beyond her book character, but still). I was completely engrossed throughout the […]
