Homeland S3E9 Review, “One Last Time”

Homeland, nearing the homestretch of the thus far abominable season 3, is trying so hard to get the creative wheels turning.  Brody and Carrie reunited, Dana with an actual scene to act in, a goddamn training montage!  In past seasons, this ninth episode of season 3 would have been a perfectly acceptable transition episode, leading…

The Walking Dead S4E7 Review, “Dead Weight”

It’s a topic I’ve often pondered: how would a serial killer fare during the zombie apocalypse? Is he a mass murderer capitalizing on the lack of law enforcement, or is he just super practical? This week’s episode missed the mark for me.  I appreciate the direction the show is moving, and am generally satisfied with…

Switch Hitter: My Little Pony

Finally, my time has come.  I can address this cultural monster.  My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has become an extremely strange pop culture phenomenon.  A show obviously geared towards children, little girls in particular, has turned into a program enjoyed by people of all ages.  4chan started the ball rolling, with a few outspoken…

Homeland S3E8 Review, “A Red Wheelbarrow”

It really isn’t that hard to inject intriguing plot developments into a TV show, especially one that has shown close to limitless promise in the past.  But with the third season of Homeland, it’s been as difficult as dragging an unwilling and unmedicated Carrie Matheson through the door of another institution. Holy shit, this week,…

Walking Dead S4E6 Review, “Live Bait”

As some faithful readers may recall, my review of last week’s installment of TWD had it positioned among the best the series has produced thus far.  Everything that holds the show back (dialogue that would never be spoken by actual humans, retreading the same plot beats ad nauseum, forgetting that zombies are what makes a…

Almost Human – Pilot Episode

“Almost Human” is FOX’s new sci-fi cop drama and it starts off with a bang. The scene is set.  2048.  There is a lot of crime and the only way to fight it is with robot cops helping human cops (in this universe, all human cops are given an android partner for protection).  You’d think…
