Game of Thrones Recap - The Prince of Winterfell

Game of Thrones Recap - The Prince of Winterfell
There are two episodes left (after this one) in Season 2 of Game of Thrones, and I have to agree with Mr. Hammervision when he says it just doesn’t feel like it’s building to anything. I mean, we know from the BIG LETTERS in the preview for next week that WAR is coming, but even... Read more »

Now that’s an episode. Too bad John slept through half of it. Good thing I’m here to fill in the blanks for him.

Game of Thrones Recap and Temperature Taking: The Ghost of Harrenhal

Game of Thrones Recap and Temperature Taking: The Ghost of Harrenhal
I’m in the position of watching Game of Thrones each week with someone who has read none of the books. So while I’m all, “Oh my God! That’s Jaqen H’ghar over by there!” John’s all, “Tell me, which one’s Bran again?” And while I know that Clash of Kings, the book upon which this season... Read more »

Mad Men Recap - Signal 30

Mad Men Recap - Signal 30
Last night’s Mad Men episode was a tale of two account men. It was the story of Pete Campbell, who appears to be starting a quarter-life crisis, and Kenny Cosgrove, who is riding into maturity like a boss.
