I had many issues with the Game of Thrones finale, as I established both in my review and in the roundtable, and there are probably still a few rants in my future about how badly this show bungled GRRM’s vision,…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×06 Roundtable: “The Iron Throne”
This is it. “The Iron Throne” is the end of an era, for better or worse. We’re done with the weekly Game of Thrones discussions, and these characters, what they are, and what they can be, are back in GRRM’s…
‘Whiskey Cavalier’ 1×13 Review: “I’ll Be Missing You”
Parting is such sweet sorrow. Especially when I’m forced to part with a show like Whiskey Cavalier, one that in “Czech Mate,” proved why it deserved not just another season, but many, many more. As I wrote earlier, though, network…
‘Whiskey Cavalier’ Proves Network TV Isn’t Yet Ready to Try New Things
Look, I unapologetically love Whiskey Cavalier. It’s a fun, light show that leans heavily on tropes and delivers fun, feel-good entertainment every week, while still managing to touch on important topics, present a diverse team and make us feel like…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×06 Review: I Can’t Get No Satisfaction
Here we are, at the end, and I struggle to find words to describe what I just witnessed. Disappointing? Anticlimactic? Just plain nonsensical? Which all leads us to the question: Is this the most unsatisfying ending in the history of…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×05 Roundtable: “The Bells”
Oh, Game of Thrones. How I wish you were anything but what you are. Or, at least, how I wish you’d chosen another path instead of this one. Let’s call this the roundtable of disappointment. Last week we were angry,…
4 Questions From ‘Cloak and Dagger’s’ “Two Player”
Cloak and Dagger season two has been mostly good, verging on great, and the show has managed to do so even while telling an otherwise straight-forward story, because it’s dared to go out there narratively. Whatever you want to say…
Freeform Releases ‘Party of Five’ Trailer and We’re Weeping
I’ll admit I didn’t expect to be here tearing up about the Party of Five reboot trailer. Like, I had high hopes, and I was looking forward to it, but I was doing it in a detached we’ll see way.…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×05 Review: The Path Of Least Resistance
Ironic that I keep thinking of this phrase, one that I heard often in my childhood. Ironic because “The Bells” aired on Mother’s Day, and this was my mom’s phrase anytime we took the easy way out, which I will admit,…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×04 Roundtable: “The Last of the Starks”
We’re just two episodes away from the end of Game of Thrones, and after what had been a superb season 8 so far, “The Last of the Starks” was just a disappointing episode all around, one that seems to be…
Inbar Lavi Talks Stepping into the Shoes of Eve on ‘Lucifer’
Lucifer Season 4 is now out into the world, and what a season it is, filled with a lot of what we absolutely loved about the show when it was a FOX property, but in many ways, with the heart…
‘Whiskey Cavalier’ 1×11 Review: “College Confidential”
Look, sometimes an episode is a filler. That’s a fact. Not all episodes can truly be used to advanced the overall arc, especially on a show like this one. Sometimes you have episodes that are just meant to further characterization, episodes…
‘Game of Thrones’: Strength Doesn’t Just Come from Suffering
Suffering does not equal strength. Period. There was a lot to hate in last week’s Game of Thrones, from the fact that they killed off the only WOC in the show, to the show-runners apparently committing to the least surprising…
‘Avengers: Endgame’ Roundtable: Was it All We Wanted?
The spoiler ban for Avengers: Endgame has officially been lifted, and it’s time to dissect the end of an era for the MCU, and to discuss the character arcs for the original Avengers, the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe,…
Our Favorite Fictional Hugs
There’s something about two characters hugging on screen, whether it be platonic or not, that his us right in the feels. Especially when it’s done well. It might be a reunion hug, an ‘I love you and I got your…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×04 Review: We Played Ourselves
To be fair, we should have known. To be fair, we played ourselves. We always knew this story wasn’t likely to have a happy ending, and yet the first three episodes of season eight had lulled us into a false…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×03 Roundtable: “The Long Night”
Well, THAT happened. And by that, we mean, of course, the thing with Arya stabbing the Night King and ending the Long Night, but also absolutely every other second of this episode. Because love it or hate it, I think…
‘Cloak and Dagger’ 2×06 Review: Who You Are Inside
There are only two ways to see this episode, titled “B Sides,” and depending on the type of TV viewer you are, you either think this is a brilliant hour of television, something you absolutely wouldn’t mind seeing replicated, or…
‘Lucifer’ Advance Review: Bigger, Badder & with Less Clothes
Yes, we went there. Bigger. Badder. And with way less clothes. Lucifer season 4 – at least for the first six episodes that we got to screen – is, quite possibly, the best this show has ever been. And we…
‘Whiskey Cavalier’ 1×10 Review: “Good Will Hunting”
Typically Whiskey Cavalier is the type of show you watch when you’ve had a bad day, or when you need a pick me up. This is, after all, a light show, one that makes fun of itself more often than…
Can a Superhero Story Only End in Death? Spoiler Alert: Not really!
After three solo movies and four Avengers movies, Iron Man’s story arc came to its inevitable conclusion in Avengers: Endgame. There was never any doubt in my mind that this was going to be a swan song, of sorts, the…
