It may have been a low-key finale for Mad Men, but the last episode of the season certainly threw subtle suggestion out the window. After a season chalked full of shockingly overt moments, did this quieter episode give us a much needed breather?
Let’s take a closer look after the jump.

So this summer is quickly becoming the Summer of Sorkin here at Bitch Stole My Remote. In addition to covering his new HBO series The Newsroom (starting Sunday June 24th at 10 EST), I will be diving back into the second season Aaron Sorkin’s little man-behind-the-White-House-curtain drama The West Wing. Every Wednesday (the same night it aired back in 2000-2001 on NBC!), I’ll be posting a flashback recap of the next episode of Season 2. So if you’d like to join me, watch one episode each week and visit here on Wednesdays so we can bitch it out. How well does the season, which is arguably the meatiest and best written of the series, hold up twelve years later? Is Sorkin’s optimism regarding the federal government still relevant? Is CJ’s hair still somewhere between atrocious and sad? Let’s find out!
So as our fictional POTUS loves to ask, “What’s next?” Find out after the jump… [Read more…]

Last week Continuum had a creatively promising (and commercially successful) launch, but there were lingering concerns about how the series would develop moving forward. After viewing the second episode of the season, I can say that the show is already well on its way to addressing those concerns.

Welcome to season two, Teen Wolf fans! After a long wait, our core cast of characters is back – stronger, more grown up and more battle ready. Oh, and they’re still ridiculously hot (Colton Haynes = swoon).
Let’s dig in to part one of the two part opener, ‘Omega’.

Ahh the honeymoon phase of a relationship, when everything seems just perfect and you just can’t stop loving that special person in your life. Every relationship starts off this way…until the cracks start to appear. Like when your partner purposefully pees on you in the shower and thinks it’s the funniest thing.
Did I mention Adam (Adam Driver) was weird?
Let’s discuss. [Read more…]

In the penultimate episode of the season, Mad Men gives us the return of Don Draper (Jon Hamm): Ad Man Extraordinaire, riding on the heels of a much talked about Jaguar win. But what is the cost of winning such business? For one: a deeply disturbing and shocking death of one of my favourite characters.
