Every season of Doctor Who has an obligatory Doctor-lite episode in which the Doctor and his current companion will occasionally pop up, but the real focus of the episode isn’t a regular character. These episodes tend to go towards extremes. They can be like Season 3’s ‘Blink’, which consistently crops up on lists of best […]
Smash is, perhaps more than any other show currently airing on broadcast television, the most reviled and ridiculed thing in the world. By the end of its first season, people were writing editorials about the new phenomenon of “hate-watching” to explain why anyone was tuning in at all. But I still kind of liked it. […]
“You are bright, but there is an ocean of knowledge that is still hidden from you.” Da Vinci’s Demons airs on the STARZ network, and aims to tell the story of young Leonardo Da Vinci, inventor, painter, genius, and, judging by his portrayal on the show, huge jerk. Seriously, the Da Vinci that we’re supposed […]
“We’ve already met. In fact, I’m pretty sure we’ve had this meeting already too and it went well.” Mad Men has made it a point to keep episodes dealing with famous historical events focused on its character reactions, as opposed to the events themselves. This was the case with the assassination of President Kennedy in […]
Over the past few seasons, it’s clear that sex is equivalent if not more powerful than money in Westeros. In the latest episode, we’re reminded that sex, love, and marriage are also weapons for securing lands and destroying potential enemies. Like plucking the first weed in a garden, offering a son or daughter up for […]
The latest Doctor Who episode was an ambitious, though ultimately underwhelming outing. It heavily featured one character (the TARDIS itself), while leaving the other players on the sidelines development wise. The best part of the episode was seeing more of the TARDIS. Most episodes are restricted to the console room. The only other episode to […]
There was a lot of build up to the recent Walking Dead season three finale. We’ve been waiting for this showdown since the show returned for the second half. I’m sure the ratings remained, as they have all year, gargantuan for AMC. I assumed the body count would be equally large and the misery would be piled […]
“It sounds like New Year’s Eve when they empty out the garbage, there’s so many bottles.” For everyone who complains that nothing ever actually happens on Mad Men, this was the episode for you. The structure of the episode perfectly balanced moving the plot forward and having interesting character moments. The episode opens with Don’s […]
In the fourth episode of season three, audiences were invited to examine some of the most substantial acts of betrayal ever featured within the Game of Thrones. In a sequence of remarkable moments, the show is becoming slightly harder to follow, unless you have been a die-hard fan of both print and film from the […]
The latest Doctor Who episode, ‘Hide’ has easily been my favorite episode of the season thus far. Season 7 has felt like it was lacking something. The episodes thus far haven’t been bad per se, but they haven’t been great either. And worse, they seem to be missing a certain intangible quality, a Whoness. ‘Hide’ […]
“I will not be a failure!” The entire point of advertising is to convince people that they want things, even if they don’t know why. This episode of Mad Men deals with all of its characters working towards their own desires, even when those desires are harmful. Don and Pete are both chasing after a […]
Spoilers below! ‘Cold War’ is the latest Doctor Who episode this season to harken back to the show’s early days by bringing back a Classic Who monster, the Ice Warriors. Although the episode had some strong moments, ultimately it was filled with forgettable characters and a weak conclusion. Taking place on a submarine in 1983, […]
Back in 2008, Kelly and Rachael recorded the highest rated episode of the original MyTV Podcast- The Buffy/Angel Special, looking back on two of their favourite series, how they compared, how they aged and how they changed TV forever. Despite the atrocious audio quality, we thought we’d share it with you as part of our […]
So it’s finally over. The semi-epic ride that was Battlestar Galactica‘s 4 seasons is done; no more big cylon reveals, no more coming back from the dead, no more hallucinogens/angels, and especially no more gratuitous naked shots of Jaime Baumber. It’s a sad state of affairs. So how’d it go out? Well, I’m of two minds […]
