NBC Thursday Comedies - Week 26

The best Community of the season, but a rare clunker from Parks and Rec.

Game of Thrones - 3x04 - And Now His Watch is Ended

Last week I mentioned that things were setting up for the bigger moments to come. Well, this episode delivered a couple of those bigger moments, in spades.

NBC Thursday Comedies - Week 25

No Office this week, but don't worry, Community wasn't that great so there's still something for me to complain about.

NBC Thursday Comedies - Week 24

I'm back! I was never really gone, just busy, and didn't really feel like writing for a while. That's the problem with not being paid to do something, it can sometimes fall behind in other priorities. In any case, I'm going to try to catch up over the next few days. Just a fair warming, these may be even sparser than usual due to just plain forgetting things.

Game of Thrones - 3x03 - Walk of Punishment

Mainly a piece mover episode. One where there's actually very little travelling, which is unusual for this show. So maybe it's more of a table setting episode. Eh, semantics, it's an episode that is setting things up for the bigger stuff to come.

Game of Thrones - 3x02 - Dark Wings, Dark Words

Ah, there's the rest of the Stark children. In what feels like the second half of a season premiere we get to the characters there wasn't time for in the actual premiere. Arya and her companions Gendry and Hot Pie, Bran with his merry band of Rickon, Osha, and Hodor (Hodor!), Brienne escorting Jamie, and even Theon, whom I had totally forgotten about.

NBC Thursday Comedies - Weeks 22 & 23

A few weeks ago a lone Community episode aired with no other originals. Not wanting to do an entire Thursday post on just one show, it has now been crammed into this post.

Torchwood - Series 1

The spin-off of Doctor Who starring John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness. I was very excited for this show because I love Captain Jack and severely missed him in series 2 of the flagship show. My expectations were not lived up to. In fact, after flying through the first two series of Who, it took me many, many months to get through this.

Game of Thrones - 3x01 - Valar Dohaeris

The third season is finally here. When you alone have 10 episodes per year, it really feels like forever in between seasons. I have high hopes for this year and next since these next two seasons are adapting my favorite book of the series, A Storm of Swords. I'm also very happy that they split the book, because that thing is a monster.

Downton Abbey - Series 2

I was led to believe by the critics I follow that series two of Downton Abbey was a step down in quality from the first. Maybe because I went in with low expectations I was pleasantly surprised, but on the whole, I think I may have liked it better than series one. It wasn't without problems, though.
