One word can accurately sum up my thoughts during the Graceland finale, and now, after digesting the finale: why?! Another acceptable word is: what? Major spoilers ahead. The root of a lot of problems with the finale (and the season overall) can be found in this interview with Jeff Eastin, the executive producer. Two things […]
The latest episode of Doctor Who offered a swashbuckling new twist on an old legend when the Doctor and Clara met Robin Hood. It was a worthy continuation of the show’s tradition of updating history/legends with a sci-fi twist. Robin Hood seems such an obvious candidate for Doctor Who. The beloved folk hero has pervaded […]
The final few weeks of Big Brother are inevitably a bit boring. At this point there are so few people left in the house that not much really happens.

I came late to the bandwagon when it comes to Orphan Black. It took a long summer and a persistent roommate to get me to finally dive into a series that my cooler (and Canadian) friends had been begging me to watch for years. Here’s the basic premise, although if you haven’t seen the show […]
