House of Cards: “Chapter 43”

T. Dawson March 9, 2016

It’s hard to judge a “holy shit” episode on its own merits. Oftentimes you’ll get blinded by the fact that the show went there, and not pay attention to whether there is somewhere the show earned the right...

Gotham: “A Dead Man Feels No Cold”

T. Dawson March 8, 2016

Gotham might not be so maddening if it would just be consistent. Nowhere is this more evident than in Arkham Asylum. Some of Arkham is genuinely creepy, for example whatever machine Hugo Strange straps Penguin into, which...

Better Call Saul: “Gloves Off”

T. Dawson March 8, 2016

Margaux and I discuss last night’s Mike-centric Better Call Saul. Trevor: One of my favorite things about Better Call Saul is that it will occasionally take a detour and act as a prequel series for Mike...

11.22.63: “The Eyes of Texas”

T. Dawson March 8, 2016

Love is in the air this week on 11.22.63, which put the Kennedy assassination on the back burner (for the most part) in “The Eyes of Texas.” The episode existed in that sweet spot the show...

House of Cards: “Chapter 42”

T. Dawson March 6, 2016

I gotta hand it to House of Cards. It juggles a lot of balls with “Chapter 42,” and while it can’t quite keep all of them in the air, it makes a convincing transition into the...

Transformers: Robots in Disguise “Metal Meltdown”

B. Simmons March 6, 2016

Remember how I was wondering about when Transformers: Robots in Disguise would get back around to Steeljaw? Well it didn’t take long. Speak of the devil… He’s tracked down Kickback in an attempt to...

House of Cards: “Chapter 41”

T. Dawson March 4, 2016

I knew I was going to like this episode of House of Cards better than “Chapter 40” before the credits were even over. How did I know? Because the credits had the name Lars Mikkelsen in...

Star Wars Rebels “Shroud of Darkness”

B. Simmons March 4, 2016

Star Wars Rebels promised us Yoda last week. This really just tells me that unless two of the characters in this show are dead or missing by the time The Empire Strikes Back rolls around,...

House of Cards: “Chapter 40”

T. Dawson March 4, 2016

I hope House of Cards stays on the air for fifty seasons, just so the writers can keep trying to top themselves with the most screwed-up openings they can conjure up. Last season commenced with Frank...

Sorry this week’s Better Call Saul review is going up late, but why don’t you sit the fuck down and enjoy Margaux and I discussing “Amarillo.” Trevor: There are few shows on the air right now who...

The People v. O.J. Simpson: “The Race Card”

T. Dawson March 2, 2016

Good lord, The People v. O.J. Simpson was stunning this week. Race took front and center in the aptly-titled “The Race Card,” and it was often uncomfortable and deeply tragic to watch. It was also impossible to turn...
