A brilliant Game of Thrones episode lays bare the politics of King’s Landing and reveals something strange about the White Walkers. The first half of the episode mainly concerned goings on in King’s Landing. What I loved is how it made all the scheming and plotting and lying clear to the viewers. Often Westeros politics […]
Remember last season when I made fun of the ballet finale? Well they actually found a way to make it worse. So much worse. I’m going to spend some portion of this recap mocking the finale itself, because it was eminently risible. But to be totally clear, George, Tyler, and Rashaad are awesome and did […]
Everyone is still playing the Game of Thrones, but the interesting thing this week is who actually still enjoys it. In the immediate aftermath of the murder, Sansa flees and is lead to a ship by her fool of a savior. Littlefinger is aboard the ship, all whispers and lies. He reveals the method of […]
A classic supernatural showdown cuts the Face Off field to the final three. Last week’s non-elimination challenge lead directly to this week’s second part. Each artist has to make a werewolf that is the nemesis of last week’s international vampire. Sounds good. This was a mostly uneventful episode. George had trouble with his injured wrist, […]

Ramsay and his…girlfriend?…are hunting some poor girl because Ramsay thought she made the girlfriend jealous. The girl is torn apart by dogs. All […]
This season of Face Off grinds along, with the remaining four contestants creating international vampires this week. Notice that the remaining four artists are the nicest, most helpful, enthusiastic people on the show? Not that everyone who’s been eliminated was a jerk or anything. Lots of nice, helpful, enthusiastic folks have gone by the wayside. […]
The fourth season of Game of Thrones leaps right into the fray, with broken romances, vengeance fulfilled, and plans for a wedding. Game of Thrones obviously has a lot of complicated pieces in play, and at times it’s guilty of spending entire episodes just positioning those pieces, lining them up for future collisions. But this […]
A robotic challenge brings out the best in most of the remaining artists on this week’s Face Off. At Union Station, McKenzie talks about robots replacing humans. Everyone has to pick an occupation and create a robot that can do it, making sure it has a major technological advantage over humans. Right off the bat […]
