Game Of Thrones: 5 Characters That Are Better On TV, And 5 That Aren’t

Joffrey's Name Day. A joust fight is in progress. Tyrion returns from battle . Intrp Ser Dontos.

We’re well into Season 2 of Game Of Thrones (and if you’re not yet watching, here, read all this) and the show has settled into a nice groove. Now, I’ve read the whole series (twice!), I know what’s to come, and for the most part I’m very happy with the way HBO has handled things. [...]

The Walking Dead Recap: Season 2, Episode 13 – “Beside The Dying Fire”

I ended my recap of  last week’s episode of The Walking Dead by asking about that zombie herd that emerged from the woods – where’d they come from, anyway? I guess Robert Kirkman reads my recaps, because the writers of the very, very good (for the most part) Season 2 finale kindly answered: Hotlanta! In a [...]

[Editor's Note - Miss Banshee is on medical leave from MamaPop.

So it looks like our little band of survivors is finally becoming a family, of sorts. I can’t say that Dale’s death moved me (other than give me a sense of relief that yay, no more kvetching about moral responsibility!), but it did seem to have that effect on (most of) the gang. Early on [...]

The Bachelor Season 16 Episode 10 Recap: The Women Are All Skeezers – Also They Tell All

bachelorben

Here we are for the reunion show! I’ll be blunt. I can’t remember ANY of these skeezers’ names, so I’ll be relying on the chyron A LOT. Which means I’ll be pausing and rewinding a lot, which will piss me off even more than this show usually makes me. GRAND ENTERTAINMENT. Wait. I piss you [...]

The Walking Dead Recap: Season 2, Episode 11 – “Judge, Jury, Executioner”

What could possibly go wrong here?

Let me begin by asking you this: is Dale the worst TV character in recent memory? During the Anvil Fest that was “Judge, Jury, Executioner”, I actually developed a twitchy eye, a condition that worsened every time Dale started monologuing about “this is a new world” (mmm hmm, yep) and “things aren’t the way they [...]
