Community: “Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television”

T. Dawson June 2, 2015

Maybe I’m feeling sentimental about this show. Maybe that’s why “Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television” worked so well for me. Maybe it’s because every goddamn Community season finale has to also work as a...

Adventure Time “You Forgot Your Floaties”

B. Simmons June 2, 2015

I don’t know if they planned on this episode of Adventure Time running right after Water Park Prank. Either way, the floaties in the title don’t refer to the previous episode anyway. Oh, no,...

Halt and Catch Fire is off to a great start! Read words written by Margaux and myself. Do this, now. Trevor: First things first: it’s great to be writing with you again. It’s been too long...

Game of Thrones: “Hardhome”

T. Dawson June 1, 2015

This season of Game of Thrones has been so scattered, and so varied in terms of quality, that it’s a pleasure to see a focused, intense episode like “Hardhome.” For the first time in a while,...

B. Simmons May 31, 2015

Do you like episodes where a character gets tagged by something that makes them act wildly out of order? Well, you’re in luck, then. They did one of those on the latest episode of...

Wayward Pines: “Our Town, Our Law”

T. Dawson May 29, 2015

I kinda think I love Wayward Pines. It’s not reinventing the wheel, but it’s solid genre television. Just when you think it’s settling into its “Twin Peaks by way of The Prisoner” groove, it zigs where other shows...

Battle Creek “Sympathy for the Devil”

B. Simmons May 25, 2015

Well, this is it. The last episode of Battle Creek, likely ever. I wish I could say that I was okay with that, but I’m not. It sort of feels like when I like...

Transformers: Robots in Disguise “Can You Dig It?”

B. Simmons May 24, 2015

I suppose I should confess; Jazz was one of my favorite Autobots in G1 Transformers. I always felt that it was a shame that he never really got an episode to himself. Powerglide got...

Wayward Pines: “Don’t Discuss Your Life Before”

T. Dawson May 22, 2015

I have to admit, I’m impressed. Wayward Pines‘ series premiere was solid if uneven, but the show seems to be really hitting its stride with “Don’t Discuss Your Life Before.” There are parts where Pines still struggles...

Adventure Time “Water Park Prank”

B. Simmons May 22, 2015

Well this episode is different of Adventure Time. It’s not bad, just… different. I’ll explain in a moment. Adventure Time had an episode last season called “A Glitch is a Glitch”. It was done...

The Flash “Fast Enough”

B. Simmons May 20, 2015

Oh man, this is it. The first season finale of CW’s The Flash. They managed to stuff an hour with so much stuff, it’s crazy. They’ve kept Wells in the accelerator containment cell since...

RuPaul’s Drag Race: Season 7, “And The Rest is Drag” + Untucked Episode 12

Margaux & Samir May 20, 2015

Well well well, it turns out our prediction from last week (or to be more precise our Nancy Drew amateur sleuthing) was spot on. Finally we get down to the finalists in this week’s...
