Star Trek: Discovery S1E7: Magic To Make the Sanest Man Go Mad
I never got that into comic books as a kid. It took ’90s indie comics like Eightball and Hate for me to work my way back to superheroes. The comics of my youth were simplistic, and one of the clumsiest storytelling … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E7: Magic To Make the Sanest Man Go Mad
The Simpsons, Season Three, Episode Nine, “Saturdays Of Thunder”
Immediately after a “Homer is a bumbling dad to Lisa” story, we get a “Homer is a bumbling dad to Bart” one! Structurally, there are a few similarities – Act One is about Homer coming to realise he’s a bad … Continue reading The Simpsons, Season Three, Episode Nine, “Saturdays Of Thunder”
Bizarre TV: A Celebration of the Weird
I first discovered Bizarre TV in 2014 when I was searching channels on my newly purchased Roku 2 player. It was found among the plethora of free channels (apparently, it doesn’t take much to meet requirements to own a … Continue reading Bizarre TV: A Celebration of the Weird
Superstore: S03E05 “Sal’s Dead”

The Simpsons, Season Three, Episode Eight, “Lisa’s Pony”
Here we are, people, an episode that eclipses almost all that came before it. This is a well-oiled machine of an episode, one that delivers heart, jokes, satire, funny animation, and an exploration of American life in a way that’s … Continue reading The Simpsons, Season Three, Episode Eight, “Lisa’s Pony”
Younger: S4E12 “Irish Goodbye”
Younger’s season 4 finale is all about karma. Continue reading Younger: S4E12 “Irish Goodbye”
Younger: S4E11 “It’s Love, Actually”
Grade: B- Note: This review talks about some of the big plot twists that previously happened in Younger. If you’re reading this to see if you want to watch the show, you may want to skip this recap. Younger has always … Continue reading Younger: S4E11 “It’s Love, Actually”
Ballers: S03E07 “Ricky-leaks”
Grade: C+ There’s a certain TV pattern I’ve noticed recently around how characters make major decisions. First, the show builds up to the decision over the course of one episode, but subtly enough that it’s a surprise episode-ending announcement. Then … Continue reading Ballers: S03E07 “Ricky-leaks”
Killjoys: S03E10 “Wargasm”
Grade: A- First, the really great news: Killjoys has been renewed for another two seasons! http://tvline.com/2017/09/0… Killjoys‘ great strength this season has been its mastery of tone. Michelle Lovretta & co know that this show is, at heart, a bunch of people … Continue reading Killjoys: S03E10 “Wargasm”
Younger: S04E10 “A Novel Marriage”
Younger tried to make a statement about work-life balance, and only partially succeeded. Continue reading Younger: S04E10 “A Novel Marriage”
Ballers: S03E06 “I Hate New York”
Grade: B For those who aren’t watching, Ballers is a fun show. It’s got The Rock and Rob Corddry and Richard Schiff. It has well-phrased financial advice: It’s even Elizabeth Warren’s favorite TV show! Underneath all the football hijinks, it also has something interesting to say. Ballers is, … Continue reading Ballers: S03E06 “I Hate New York”
Killjoys: S03E09 “Reckoning Ball”
Killjoys has always been a savvy show. Hell, the very first scene of the very first episode was about using genre tropes to play with the audience’s expectations. Michelle Lovretta and the writers know that you know that this is the … Continue reading Killjoys: S03E09 “Reckoning Ball”
Killjoys: S03E08 “Heist, Heist, Baby”
The theme of this episode, and presumably the rest of the season, is mirror images. Last episode, the Hullen training flight was cut short when two ships got close enough to neurally link. But instead of flying in sync, they … Continue reading Killjoys: S03E08 “Heist, Heist, Baby”
Killjoys: S03E07 “The Wolf You Feed”
Out of all the shows I watch, Killjoys is the most amazingly, thrillingly, consistently bonkers. Every episode is like watching someone get shot out of a cannon. It should be impossible to sustain the level of storytelling force it throws around every … Continue reading Killjoys: S03E07 “The Wolf You Feed”
Younger: S04E09 “The Incident at Pound Ridge”
For those who don’t know, Younger is one of the bubbliest, most upbeat shows currently on television. On the face of it, the idea of a 40-year-old woman pretending to be a 26-year-old to find work sounds slightly embarrassing, as if decades … Continue reading Younger: S04E09 “The Incident at Pound Ridge”
Scene Dissections: An Introduction
Hello Avocado! One thing to get out of the way first: Yes, this is Martha. I am Martha. Here, however, as you can see, I am Jimy Coma. Why? A bit of a change. Also, other reasons that might come … Continue reading Scene Dissections: An Introduction
The Simpsons, Season Three, Episode Seven, “Treehouse Of Horror II”
Last week, it was noted that this season has a lot of sequel episodes, and this is one of the few more explicit sequels, the very second “Treehouse Of Horror” special. The tradition hasn’t been quite refined yet; it begins … Continue reading The Simpsons, Season Three, Episode Seven, “Treehouse Of Horror II”
