Given the sad but expected announcement that Craigyferg is leaving CBS before they can force him out, I just thought I’d top this 2010 post as my own personal tribute. A little while ago I had the chance to be in the audience (and the green room, thanks to a […] Read more
“Oathkeeper” Butterflies – butterflies, everywhere… At this point, I would say everyone watching Game of Thrones (apart from Benioff and Weiss and George R.R. Martin – and I’m not even 100% sure about him) – is pretty much in the same boat. In short, I have no idea what’s going […] Read more
“Breaker of Chains” It’s not a spoiler if it already happened, right? As you know if you’ve been reading these posts, I try not to dwell too extensively on the differences between the HBO version and the book version of Game of Thrones. And of course, to avoid discussing things […] Read more

“The Day of the Doctor” You’re going to have to forgive me if my thoughts are a bit scattered. Today I’m a 13 year-old boy again, staying up late on Sunday night to watch my favorite show on WTTW Channel 11 in Chicago. Note: this post contains innumerable spoilers for […] Read more
Steven Moffat didn’t just toss longtime fans a cookie – he gave us the whole damn cookie jar. There are several things we can take away from the appearance of “The Night of the Doctor“. First, that there are apparently people at the Beeb who can keep a secret after […] Read more
The more things change… I’m probably not going to blog Korra this time around, but for now at least I’ll watch it and hope it surpasses my expectations, and I wanted to at least check in with some quick impressions of the opening double episode. In short, about the same. […] Read more
