Mad Men Season 7 Character Studies Part 1!

Mad Men, the show that does not give a fuck. At the conclusion of Season 6, the SCP partners had put Don on an open ended leave of absence, because even though he’s the main protagonist of the show, he’s also a scumbag that fucks anyone and drinks anything, and for the first time there…

The Walking Dead S4E8 Review, “Too Far Gone”

Chaos can be at once beautiful and completely destructive.  Chaos captured on film (when done well) is equal parts confusion and intrigue.  The mid-season finale of season 4 of The Walking Dead was all of the above, while still eliciting a tinge of the infuriating frustration that it had previously achieved in past seasons.

The Walking Dead S4E4 Review, “Indifference”

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…
