Bloodline: “Part 14”

T. Dawson May 27, 2016

Wayward Pines: “Enemy Lines”

T. Dawson May 26, 2016

How do you make a mystery show with no mystery? That seems to be the question Wayward Pines wants to address in its sophomore season. Wayward Pines ended up being one of my favorite shows of last year;...

Fear the Walking Dead: “Shiva”

Game of Thrones: “The Door”

T. Dawson May 22, 2016

I gotta be honest, I was seriously nervous when I saw who was directing tonight’s episode of Game of Thrones. Jack Bender is the former showunner of notorious shitpile Under the Dome, and the only positive thing to...

Steven Universe “Same Old World

Game of Thrones: “Book of the Stranger”

T. Dawson May 16, 2016

It would be easy – and, frankly, accurate – to describe “Book of the Stranger” as more of a montage than an episode. Its structure is nearly identical: we check in with multiple characters...

Transformers: Robots in Disguise “Decepticon Island Part 2”

B. Simmons May 15, 2016

So the last episode of Transformers: Robots in Disguise left the bots in a jam. Which is standard two-part finale fare to begin with. But it’s not like anyone wouldn’t know that. Steeljaw’s current...
