Game of Thrones 7×05 Review: Unconventional Allies

When the enemy you’re fighting is anything but conventional, sometimes you’ve got to go for unconventional methods. That’s about the only way. This is, of course, a nice way of saying: WTF Jon? What the actual fuck? Who here thinks…

‘Dumbo’ Live-Action Movie to Feature Big Names

Did you know we’re getting a Dumbo live-action re-telling? Of course you did. But did you know the big names that are set to star on the Tim Burton helmed remake? Well, I’m going to go over them anyway, even…

‘The X-Files’ Season 11 Adds Female Directors and Female Writers

And they say public outcry does not work. The news that The X-Files Season 11 would have an all-male writers room was met with discontent – and now, it seems like the show is, at least, trying to make amends,…

‘Game of Thrones’ 7×04 Review: Our Stories Aren’t Over Yet

I need a moment – do you need a moment? Maybe a moment is not enough, maybe I need like twenty five. Perhaps you do too. But we (or I) have to get this review done nonetheless. Somehow. Arya and…

‘The Gifted’ SDCC 2017 Interviews: Coby Bell, Amy Acker & Stephen Moyer

‘Game of Thrones’ 7×03 Review: Ice and Fire

Still Star-Crossed 1×07 Review: Some Shall Be Pardoned, and Some Punished

Since this is my last Still Star-Crossed review (I’m side-eyeing you, ABC, I really am), forgive me if I get a bit …maudlin. Contemplative, even. I’ve never pretended this show was a masterpiece, or even that it was attempting to…

‘The 100’ SDCC 2017 Interviews: Christopher Larkin & Richard Harmon

We’re back to orgies in space. Bob Morley brought it up first, but Richard Harmon and Christopher Larkin just couldn’t let it go – and to be honest, neither can we. It’s been six years. Weird things were bound to…

‘The Gifted’ SDCC 2017 Interview: Jamie Chung & Emma Dumont

We were excited for The Gifted before San Diego Comic-Con, we were, it was just a superficial sense of excitement for the concept, not a real concrete sense of OMG I WANT THIS NOW. Now, however, after having screened half…

‘The 100’ SDCC 2017 Interviews: Jason Rothenberg & Lindsey Morgan

Talking to Jason Rothenberg and Lindsey Morgan are two completely different experiences. While Jason is clearly focused on the big picture, on the season as a whole and the group, Lindsay is – just as we’d want her to, all…

‘The 100’ SDCC 2017 Interviews: Marie Avgeropoulos

When you’re trust into a leadership position, things change. That’s one of the biggest things The 100’s Marie Avgeropoulos teased when we talked to her at San Diego Comic-Con. Not just personally, either. Your relationships change as well. Take Octavia and…

‘The 100’ SDCC 2017 Interviews: Bob Morley

Orgies in space. No, really, orgies in space. That’s what Bob Morley from The 100 teased when we had a chance to talk to him during San Diego Comic Con. It’s not the only thing he teased, of course, but…

‘Game of Thrones’ 7×02 Review: Queen of the Ashes

I have a countdown, of sorts, for Game of Thrones. I have several, actually, I have one for Book 6, though at this point it feels like I have to give up on it. Book 6 is never coming, is…

70 Quick Thoughts from ‘Still Star-Crossed’ 1×06: Hell is Empty and All the Devils Are Here

‘Game of Thrones’ 7×01 Review: The North Remembers

We’ve heard the phrase before, more than once. It is a common phrase in the north, one that’s meant to be as intimidating as it sounds. The North Remembers. The North is one. And they will never, ever forget. Arya…
