Game of Thrones Episode (3×07) Review – “The Bear and the Maiden Fair”
This week’s episode of Game of Thrones was centered on character development, but that doesn’t mean it was filler. The relationships between the characters were tested this week. Some of the relationships grew stronger, while others were broken. “The Bear and the Maiden Fair” may not have been filled with action, but if you thought it was […]
Game of Thrones Episode (3×06) Review – “The Climb”
“If you think this has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention.” I can’t believe season 3 of Game of Thrones is almost over. Seems like it just began.

Arrow Episode (1×23) Review – “Sacrifice”
Yesterday’s Arrow season finale was everything a season finale should be. There was loads of action, but all of it had a purpose. Relationships were tested.

You Need Trust to Have a Truce: Game of Thrones Episode (3×05) Review – “Kissed By Fire”
The title of this week’s episode of Game of Thrones, “Kissed By Fire,” may refer to people born with red hair, but Ygritte wasn’t the only fiery person in this episode. Beric Dondarrion showed what fire can do when he rose from the dead following a duel with the Hound. Aria and Robb Stark both showed that […]
DaVinci’s Demons Episode (1×03) Review – “The Prisoner”
This week’s episode of DaVinci’s Demons was downright terrifying. While the previous episodes gave the audience a glimpse of the internal demons that plague Leonardo Da Vinci’s brilliant mind, “The Prisoner” contained actual demons. Or so it seemed. In truth, the “demons” possessing the good sisters at St. Anthony’s convent were created by Pope Sixtus VI to compel the […]
