Game Of Thrones review – 3×04: ‘And Now His Watch Is Ended’

April 22, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of HBO

The action starts to heat up (in some cases literally) as Game Of Thrones moves into the meat of the season. There’s more than one bold power move being played as showrunners Benioff and Weiss deliver another knock-out humdinger of an episode.

After a rather tedious start to this second half of the season, The Doctor (Matt Smith) goes on a ghost-busting adventure with new companion Clara (Jenna-Louise Coleman). Does this adventure prove more enjoyable than their previous outings?

Let’s bitch it out.

Well, it’s finally here, opening night for Bombshell. After all the work, all the cast changes, and of course all the drama, the big night is here and it all comes down to this. Will Ivy (Megan Hilty) show everyone why she was the only choice for Marilyn? Will Tom’s (Christian Borle) direction be as brilliant as Derek’s (Jack Davenport)? Will Eileen (Angelica Huston) have a smash on her hands or will it be a bomb? And most importantly, will someone explain to me why Emory Cohen is there? Let’s bitch.

Apologies to readers for missing out on the final batch of Spartacus: War Of The Damned episodes. One week after the series finale, I’ve finally had the chance to catch-up, so without further ado, read on for my thoughts on episodes 3×08-3×10.

After a few weeks off the air, Grimm is back and tackling two of its female centric storylines: Juliette’s (Bitsie Tulloch) return from amnesia-ville and the bun in Adalind’s (Claire Coffee) oven.

Parks and Recreation review – 5×19 / 5×20: ‘Article Two’ / ‘Jerry’s Retirement’

After a week as insane as this one has been, there is no greater pleasure than spending a full hour with the parks department. Especially when the episodes are as fun and genuinely sweet as these two are.

The Vampire Diaries review – 4×19 : ‘Pictures of You’

April 18, 2013 by thedude35

In a ploy designed specifically to toy with my emotions, tonight’s return of The Vampires Diaries saw the return of my beloved Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen). Oh ya, and there was senior prom, schemes revolving around Elena (Nina Dobrev) and a serious witch problem…again.

Awkward. is back for a supersized 20 episode third season. After a humbling second season that saw the show land on last year’s Bitch Awards Worst List, can the show rebound from last year’s disastrous season?

Game Of Thrones review – 3×03: ‘Walk Of Punishment’

April 15, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of HBO

You can nearly always tell when the showrunners are directly involved in an episode, can’t you? These episodes feel stronger, clearer, more tightly plotted and with a greater sense of purpose. The involvement of Game Of Thrones’ showrunners Benioff and Weiss in ‘Walk Of Punishment’ is clearly evident and the result is the strongest episode since 2×09 ‘Blackwater.’
