Orphan Black took a risk in its sixth episode of the season, taking a relative breather to draw a long-deceased clone back into the fold: Beth Childs. No, we’re not getting Zombie!Beth, but rather a version of the deceased clone in Sarah’s fever-induced hallucinations. This Beth appearance could have been an awkward, convoluted plot device,… Read more »
Remember when I was praying for this season of Game of Thrones to pick up already? I think my wish finally came true. This was the first time this season that when the episode ended I felt like I absolutely have to watch the next one. Obviously I can’t do that, but it’s still a… Read more »
Oh man. Remember when we wanted the fifth season of Game of Thrones to make us feel something? Well, I’m feeling lots of somethings. Let’s start with the easy stuff. Arya is back, and she’s still washing corpses in the House of Black and White. Oh, and she also gets whipped by an adult man. Pretty… Read more »
We’re officially past the middle of the season. I know, it went by way too fast, but things are finally picking up a little. Weirdly enough, I feel a bit like not enough people have died yet, like I’m not really watching Game of Thrones. That makes me a little nervous that the second half of… Read more »
WARNING: HERE BE SPOILERS FOR AGENT CARTER SEASON 1. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK… This past weekend, I spent three glorious days engaging in fandom at the Philadelphia Comic Con. The stand out of the event? A 45-minute Q&A with Agent Carter star Hayley Atwell in which she said awesome things like she hopes Agent Carter is a… Read more »
Episode number 4! The episode that many of you probably already watched a month ago, and now feel sad because you have to wait until next week to see another one! Well, at least you can read this recap and remind yourself what happened in this lovely episode, which is so close to the middle… Read more »
Warning: this post includes discussion and gifs related to the depiction of rape and violence on the show Outlander. Last Saturday’s Outlander episode, “Lallybroch,” brought several shocks. We saw many new things: from more of Jamie than we ever have before and Jack Randall’s crown jewels, to Lallybroch in the present tense and Jamie admitting just… Read more »
Can we take a minute to talk about Orphan Black’s badass, nuanced, complex depiction of motherhood? Thanks. This feminist drama has always been a refreshing, revolutionary representation of what it means to be a mother on TV (i.e. you can be a mother and still get to be, you know, a person), but Season 3… Read more »
I probably spend way too much time trying to figure out why I love Arrow so much. I recognize that other shows are better plotted, have superior character development, and comment on our culture in ways Arrow fails to. But this show, man. I heart it. It pulls me in with its action and adventure… Read more »
We start this week’s episode with Arya (I feel like this is going to happen a lot this season), who is finally inside the House of Black and White, and apparently it’s weird in there. It turns out that her inspiring journey now mainly includes sweeping the floors (very Karate Kid) and witnessing some weird… Read more »
