The Simpsons: “Let’s Go Fly a Coot”

T. Dawson May 4, 2015

We don’t cover The Simpsons around here; as a matter of fact we don’t really do half-hour comedies. At least I don’t (I did, however, take a stab at Silicon Valley and Veep last year). But something about “Let’s...

Mad Men: “Lost Horizon”

T. Dawson May 4, 2015

Margaux and I talk this week’s stellar Mad Men. Trevor: There’s a reason I hate “fallout” episodes. You know, when one episode ends with something huge happening, and the next episode is the fallout from that?...

Game of Thrones: “Sons of the Harpy”

T. Dawson May 4, 2015

I love episodes like “Sons of the Harpy.” My praise for last week’s “High Sparrow” notwithstanding, it’s with this episode that Game of Thrones‘ fourth season really feels like it’s kicking into gear. GoT is often at...

Transformers: Robots in Disguise “Collect ‘Em All”

B. Simmons May 2, 2015

Do you like shiny things? I hope you do. Because this week’s episode features a lot of them. Sort of. So the episode begins with a family rolling up to a gas station in...

Adventure Time “Chips & Ice Cream”

B. Simmons May 1, 2015

I don’t know what it’s been with this season of Adventure Time. It’s been oddly hit-and-miss, and I don’t know exactly why. If I had to guess, it’s in preparation for the movie they’re...

Steven Universe “Reformed”

B. Simmons May 1, 2015

I know it’s sort of a side note, but the intro really highlights how the gems have slowly been redesigned just a bit over the course of the show. Pearl got hers first, followed...

Arrow: “Al Sah-Him”

T. Dawson April 30, 2015

“Al Sah-Him” has to ask an interesting question: what does Arrow look like without the Arrow? Well, in short, it’s kind of a bummer, and slightly unfocused, but I wonder if that’s not by design. Without...

The Flash: “The Trap”

B. Simmons April 29, 2015

The Flash has spent the entire season building up the tension surrounding the true identity of Harrison Wells. Finally, almost all of the cards are on the table. Almost everyone knows who Wells is,...

RuPaul’s Drag Race: Season 7, “Divine Inspiration”

Margaux & Samir April 29, 2015

I’ve been wondering lo these many RuPauliday seasons why they have not paid homage to the late, great Divine. That 7 year itch was scratched until our skin was raw last night because the...

Community: “Intro to Recycled Cinema”

T. Dawson April 29, 2015

Well, that was a…weird episode of Community. I’m not quite sure how to grade “Intro to Recycled Cinema”; it’s one of those lofty, ambitious installments that’s never 100% successful but deserves praise for what it attempts....

Gotham: “The Anvil and the Hammer”

T. Dawson April 28, 2015

I barely even feel like reviewing Gotham right now. “The Anvil and the Hammer” tread a lot of the same ground as last week’s “Under the Knife,” and when it didn’t it was actually retroactively canceling...

Battle Creek: “Old Wounds”

B. Simmons April 27, 2015

So earlier in the series, they introduced Danny, Commander Guziewicz’s adopted son. This episode? All about him. Apparently, Danny’s been having nightmares of the day his parents were murdered. He goes to talk to...
