One of the most frustrating things about Game of Thrones - books and telly - is as the story goes on, the plotlines multiply to such an extent that a full book/season goes by and you feel like sod all happens. It's nudge, nudge, nudge, EXPLOSION, nudge - the sort of pacing which, oh, I…
Episode Reviews
Game of Thrones 6.01 The Red Woman
Quite excited that Game of Thrones is back on the telly this week (or last week, if you are States-wise - we get our ep on the Monday); and ever so slightly more excited than last year, because last year I was really Quite Bitter that there was no more Charles Dance. Alas, there is…
Doctor Who – Face The Raven
The extremely untimely reviews continue! Today it's the ridic fab Face The Raven, which I watched UNSPOILERED originally, but am a bit scared now I know exactly what's coming. OH CLARA. For the first time in the history of New Who, nay, Doctor Who, I can say A WOMAN WRITER!! for the second time in…
Doctor Who – Sleep No More
It's Doctor Who day! By which I mean there is new Verity! out today, so getting back to my Doctor Who reviews seemed thematically relevant. On V!, we're discussing the very first episode of the New Series and it's quite a spiffy ep, of the podcast I mean (the telly ep is quite good too).…
Doctor Who – The Zygon Inversion
Another day, another review type thing of a Doctor Who ep. That's right - it's one a day till the season's over...or more if I'm feeling partic energetic, and then I can flail cheerfully about River Song, hurrah! Anyway, onwards: I've really enjoy all the cliffhangers this series. Nothing's properly beaten Beneath the Lake, but…
Doctor Who – The Zygon Invasion
Doctor Who is over for a whole several weeks, alas, and then Christmas, and then it really properly is over for MONTHS, horror, but I stopped recapping in the middle of the season. Apologies to everyone who was reading - I was swamped with work, and it didn't help that Zygon Invasion also marked the…
Doctor Who – The Woman Who Lived
Just finished watching last week's ep, and now to TYPE, TYPE LIKE THE WIND. Will I finish my amazing thoughts before this week's episode hits the telly box? Let us see! (Incidently, I can now recommend new eps of Doctor Who as an excellent way to take one's mind off the pain generated by dropping…
Doctor Who – The Girl Who Died
I chatted about this episode on Verity! so, really, do I need to write 2000 words of flail here? Do I? Yes, yes I do. I've started writing a post about every episode this season and I shall bloody well finish doing so or be terribly cross at myself for a lack of commitment to…
Doctor Who – Before The Flood
Ah! Doctor Who! Only the greatest telly series ever invented, *and* we're in a season that is one of the very, very best, so far. It's super scary; this sort of quality can't be maintained indefinitely. When will the fall come? Will they warn us first? Am I no longer a real Doctor Who fan…
Doctor Who – Under The Lake
So I went into last week's Doctor Who episode with only the minimal of spoilers: thanks to SEEING THE EPISODE TITLES, I guessed it was a two-parter as the names seemed connected. And while one might argue that episode titles are not *technically* spoilers, when the second episode suggests a course of action faciliated by…
