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…
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…
Okay so I’ve been slacking in both my TV watching and reviewing the shows I watch. I’m sure some of you can empathize and agree life sometimes kicks every square inch of your ass. My American Horror Story is holding my captivation and going strong. In the episode (hehe Joel) “The Axeman Cometh” AHS started…
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,…
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” 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…
Hot damn, what a fantastic episode! This was one of my favorite episodes of the series so far. The show is at its best when it focuses on telling the story of a few people trying to survive the zombie apocalypse, and combines that with classic elements of horror. The show loses the audience when…
This week’s Sons of Anarchy kicked things down a notch. Which is perfectly acceptable considering this entire season has been going full speed and everybody needed a breather. Especially Jax. He decided that he needed to step back from Tara and take some time to evaluate his life. This kind of stuff is good, it’s…
As an unapologetic supporter of the Walking Dead comic series, I constantly find myself desperately WANTING to like this show. Even during the fallow period of Season 2, which is pretty much 100% undefendably horrible, I still had an intense desire for the show to be great in order to prove to people that it…
My daughter is sixteen months old. We watch Sofia the First. We watch Jake and the Neverland Pirates. We binge watch Yo Gabba Gabba. She doesn’t quite know what’s going on all the time, but she knows what she likes, and she isn’t shy about demanding more of it. Coincidentally (or not coincidentally?) the same…
