Homeland S3E6 Review, “Still Positive”

At least they’re throwing in some WHAT THE FUCK moments. I don’t need or want to understand everything that is happening at any given time when watching Homeland.  Part of the fun has always been trying (and inevitably failing) to understand motives, actions, even keeping straight who everyone is and who they’re affiliated with.  One…

Sons of Anarchy “John 8:32” Review

Holy crap, things are happening.  Stuff is coming to light and shit’s getting real!  I feel like this is the show’s mantra this season, to somehow always have the audience saying that.  A perpetual series of “ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit” moments.  I’ve said it before, and I’ll continue to say it, Nero’s an awesome dude and the…

Masters of Sex S1E5 Review, “Catherine”

Goddamn, this show has some gut-wrenching emotional moments! After the first few episodes, it was already becoming clear that we weren’t dealing with a show that was only going to point out sexual absurdities and chronicle the scientific component of the sexual revolution.  While both of those elements are certainly present in the overall makeup…

Homeland S3E5 Review, “The Yoga Play”

I’m not going to let Homeland off the hook completely.  There’s still plenty to be pissed about, and the show is nowhere near what it was at the end of the first season, or in the middle of the second season.  But they hit the Season 3 reset button at the last available second where…

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S1E5, “Girl in the Flower Dress”

At least there are tits. Nothing is more disappointing than wasted potential.  Among new TV shows, this is the show that everyone is discussing.  But no one is saying, “holy shit, this is great!”, it’s basically, “damn, it could be so much better”.  That’s not good.  Disney has a brand to protect, of course they…

Masters of Sex S1E4 Review, “Thank You For Coming”

Season Ones can be fascinating to watch, because even the worst, low concept garbage can show glimpses of potential.  Masters of Sex is hardly that, as there is a creative vision here that is almost a prerequisite for a show to get greenlit in the 21st century premium cable landscape.  Even Hung had enough to…

Homeland S3E4 Review, “Game On”

Is there any way to kindly and gently say, “worst episode of the series so far”? The first two episodes of this season were spiraling downward to this.  Then, with the third installment, we had a reprieve, with Brody returning to reach his own personal rock bottom, which was mirrored by Carrie’s.  There was an…

Sons of Anarchy “Salvage” review

This is late as hell, but having a toddler that requires constant attention and a job that drains a lot of hours makes it difficult to submit these in a timely fashion.  Hopefully this gives everybody time to have DVR’d this shit. The Juice is loose! Seriously, it may have been one of the smaller…
