And now it’s time to say goodbye to Penny Dreadful. I came into this season with high hopes, and I’m happy to say that it has surpassed those raised expectations. It wasn’t perfect, but it was pretty close. It looked fantastic, and the cast was tremendous. In the past, I had mentioned that I wanted […]

Penny Dreadful, S1E7, “Possession”
The episode opens with Vanessa lying on a couch, uttering the line, “To be beautiful is to be almost dead, isn’t it?” Before long, she’s talking to Malcolm in her creepy Mina voice and hurling things around the room with her mind. It’s clear that this episode will be The Eva Green Show. And that’s […]
I apologize on the tardiness of this. I was out of town for the past week-and-a-half and had no way to watch this until yesterday. I’ll have my episode 7 recap up tomorrow. Between the flashback episode and being gone for a week, I had almost forgotten about Ethan and Dorian’s night on the town. […]

Robert Kirkman has been teasing/warning us that the last two episodes of this season were going to be full of action and cliffhangers; well, he wasn’t kidding. I am still having a hard time getting past the knowledge that Cobra dude is after Rick. Carol is not going to be the one to decide where […]

Hearing Beth’s journal entry while her and Daryl run from walkers was a lovely way to begin the episode. It’s nice to know that someone is brave enough to take over Hershel’s roll as positive thinker and hope bringer, because ” if you don’t have hope, what’s the point of living?” This seemed to be […]
Drink of choice: Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat It’s a good one. As far as “pumpkin beers I can find at a store near my house”, this ranks near the top. My original plan was to finally track down some Southern Tier Pumking. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about it (the guys at Blood Good […]

Hemlock Grove Episode 2: The Angel
Drink of choice: Simpler Times Lager Because I don’t have enough money to keep my fridge completely stocked with good beer, I have to go cheap from time to time. At $4 for a six-pack, this qualifies as cheap. It’s not bad, but it’s not really good, either. I have to drink it pretty quickly; […]
I was going to post this last night, but my internet died directly after the episode ended. It was like Time Warner was telling me that they really, REALLY didn’t want to watch another episode. It was the equivalent of hiding the remote. Either that or Time Warner has spotty coverage. Drink of choice: Sam […]
