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 […]
If you’re not watching History Channel’s Vikings, which concluded its first season on Sunday with a tense finale, you’re missing out. This is easy to remedy, because there are only nine episodes to catch up on before Season 2 premiers next year. (I don’t know which is worse: that there were only nine episodes, or […]
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.

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 […]
