I’m told that HBO is in trouble. Game of Thrones will be ending soon. Nobody liked Vinyl. What’s the network’s Next Big Thing? Does HBO even have a Next Big Thing, or are they just going to cede more of that sweet TV prestige to those jerks at AMC? Continue reading “‘Westworld’ Review – These Violent Delights Have Violent Ends”
I know I’ve turned into a bit of a broken record saying this week after week, but this season’s murder mystery just hasn’t reeled me in at all. However, if any episode this season was going to get me into it, this would have been the one. Let me explain.

I don’t think I could go so far as to say that “Down Will Come” reminded why I love this show, but is certainly was a jolt of adrenaline in a season that doesn’t seem to have any problem taking its sweet ass time with everything. Continue reading “True Detective Review – “Down Will Come” – Killshot”
Anthology shows are strange things, because no matter how good or bad a season is, there’s always the possibility that the next one is going to be an entirely different thing. Continue reading “True Detective Review – “Maybe Tomorrow” – Just when I thought I was out…”
Guys, this show is dark. I don’t know if you knew that. I mean, I’d like to think it’s not the case, but I imagine that people in this world can’t go to the bathroom without ominous, industrial drums clang-clanging in the background. Continue reading “True Detective Review – “Night Finds You” – Knocking on the devil’s door.”
Hey, guys, mark your calendars! Because Heroes Reborn is still a thing that’s happening, and it would be best if we, as a culture, could experience it together so that we, as a culture, could remember why we stopped watching the show in the first place. Continue reading “I’m having trouble dealing with Heroes Reborn.”
They did it. Those bastards finally did it. Earlier today, NBC announced that in addition to hating Christmas and the sound of children’s laughter, it had canceled Hannibal. Continue reading “NBC Sucks, Cancels Hannibal”
Ten minutes into True Detective’s season premiere, Colin Farrell says, “I welcome judgement.” Well, he better, because audiences are still high on Woody Harrelson’s and Matthew McConaughey’s performance from last season. And if season two doesn’t live up to that in every single way, and even go a teensy bit above and beyond, the masses will be waiting in line to dump all over it. Don’t mess with them. They’re serious. Continue reading “True Detective Review – “The Western Book of the Dead” – Send in the clowns.”
Today, AMC premiered a trailer for the next step in its slow shamble toward an all-zombie programming slate. Fear the Walking Dead will premiere this August. The show trades out the muggy forests of Gawgia for the fun and sun of California, and… well, we don’t know too much beyond that. Kim Dickens is in it. I liked her in Deadwood. Check out the trailer below. Continue reading “AMC Debuts New Trailer for Fear the Walking Dead”
Any Game of Thrones fan knows that George R.R. Martin is in it for the long haul. He could come out tomorrow and announce that instead of seven books, he’s decided to write ten, and there would be the typical online wailing and gnashing of teeth, and then we’d all get used to it. We’d get used to it because we are used to this story continuing. A Game of Thrones came out in 1996. Can you believe that? Almost 20 years ago. Waiting for the next book, for the next season, is just what we do. It’s a part of life. Continue reading “Thoughts on Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones Thoughts. Game of Thoughts. Nailed it.”
