Inconsistent Narrators
Some of the best stories every told are by unreliable and unhinged narrators. Think Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump who sees everything in a more simplistic and positive light. Edward Norton and his narration in Fight Club where we see his mental health escalate. Jim Carey in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind who remembers… Continue Reading →

QUINNtessential viewing
With this current season of Homeland I have been eagerly awaiting for Quinn and Carrie to collide. We all know that unfinished business and unrequited love elements will sustain and maintain female viewership. I have been wondering how it will happen and in what capacity, what threats will surround them or even how explosive the… Continue Reading →

Love will tear us apart…
*Hannibal finale spoilers* …except when it comes to Hannibal and Will Graham. Love comes in many and varied forms. It is expressed in a multitude of ways,words and actions, but what isn’t explored very often are the darker types of love – the love that borders on obsession, is abusive or toxic. In some ways… Continue Reading →

Will Graham’s Winter Woollies
During this difficult time of mourning Hannibal’s cancellation, I am taking solace in admiring Will Graham’s wardrobe. Sure, to some of you he may just be another character to add to my long list of TV crushes (Jax Teller, Daryl Dixon, Rick Grimes, Richard Hendricks etc) but let’s face it, he’s the best dressed out… Continue Reading →

A Frenetic Finale
*Warning True Detective Spoilers* Bleak but poetic is how I would describe last night’s finale of True Detective. (Before we get started into my random ramblings a quick aside – I want to take a moment to say how disappointed/bewildered I am at some reviews of this season circulating out there. It makes me feel… Continue Reading →

Woes of Woodrugh
*Warning True Detective spoilers* Well there you have it. Just a random brain dump is what we will call this. Wave goodbye Woodrugh. Not rock salt rounds this time, the real deal. I have my suspicions that the bird masked man who attacked Velcoro is the same person who shot Woodrugh… Lieutenant Burris. The internet… Continue Reading →

Uncomfortable Unicorns
*warning – spoilers* I never really had any negative connotations towards unicorns, in fact you may say it has been quite the opposite for me for many years. I find (found) they evoke a wonderfully “gay” and happy vibe, an icon for all things silly and frivolous in pop media. They remind(ed) me of my… Continue Reading →

Binge watching
Definitely one of the more healthier “binges” one could embrace. Travelling is wonderful but it causes serious disruption to my TV schedule. It’s important for me to keep across all TV not just because I want to, but because I work in TV (at least that’s my justification). The definition of binge watching by Wiki… Continue Reading →

Painful Post-Its
Sex and the City may have finished but the cowardly and painful ways that people choose to deliver information to those they “care” sadly keeps happening in more and more distressing ways.Nowadays with technology people don’t ever have to face up or take accountability for their behaviours. They can hide behind texting,emailing – there are… Continue Reading →

A suitable season premiere
I finally got around to watching the Season 5 premiere of Suits over the weekend. I just wanted to touch on some other elements of the episode that are not strictly about character and plot etc etc. My first observation was “Wow, Mike gets hotter each season”. Now this increased hotness is not uncommon in a… Continue Reading →

Carpal Tunnel, Coding & Condors
“I don’t code anymore…carpal tunnel” Last night we saw Erlich Bachman throw on his carpal tunnel wrist support braces, pin his curly locks out of his face , sit on an exercise ball to get comfortable and commence coding in an “all hands on deck” situation for Pied Piper team. The former carpal tunnel sufferer… Continue Reading →

Just like Jared
“He’s the most cheerful person I’ve ever heard quote Hitler’ – Dinesh. And doesn’t that just embody who Jared is at this core? What I found most pleasing about last night’s episode (apart from Richard in a suit which was just tantalising) was the ever wonderful Jared Dunn and his eternal optimism. Last night we… Continue Reading →

Evasive Ethan
Dashing? Strapping? Smouldering? Mesmerising? Puzzling? You get the drift. Who wouldn’t find a rugged American man in Victorian England interesting at the very least? Enter Ethan Chandler. The mysterious sharp shooter certainly makes the ladies swoon. And why wouldn’t they when he is so courteous towards them? If only we could have a little bit… Continue Reading →

Gilfoyle the Great
aka “ Fucking Ninja” It has been remiss of me that I haven’t blogged about Gilfoyle. This will just be a short note but an important one nonetheless. It’s no secret that I am an avid Silicon Valley fan. I took an instant liking to Richard, my feelings there are undeniable however misplaced they may… Continue Reading →

Tinnitus on Tuesdays
James Hetfield and Metallica are not responsible on this occasion but I think my music choice and decibel decisions are becoming detrimental and it actually could be classed as problematic. A new form of RSI – repetitive sound injury perhaps is what I am inflicting on myself but I like it? Nothing seems to be loud… Continue Reading →

Dreadful Dolls
And so the war continues on poor Miss Vanessa Ives. Riveting episode of Penny Dreadful! I rarely get spooked watching the show as it leans towards my general fascination for all things and creatures of the night however, those dolls that Evelyn has created in order to carry out her evil wishes are so creepy….

Ready to pounce like an internet panther
No, I wasn’t familiar with that phrase either until last night’s episode of Silicon Valley. When I heard this escape out of Richard’s “para- paranoid” mouth, a phrase used to describe him by Dinesh during this episode, it made me laugh out loud! I erupted so hard that I choked on a piece of steak… Continue Reading →
