Battlestar Galactica Newbie Recap: Kobol’s Last Gleaming Parts 1 and 2

I’m a sci-fi geek who has never seen Battlestar Galactica. Yes, I know, I know. 2013 is the year I change that, and I’m blogging as I go.

One season of Battlestar Galactica down, three (plus assorted web series/TV movies/Caprica) to go. Man, what a good season finale this was.

Game of Thrones Recap: The Bear and the Maiden Fair

Not going to lie, I totally sung along to the theme song this episode. “Beeeeear piiiiiit, bear pit scene, theeee bear pit sceeeeeene (bear pit dah-duh bear pit dah-duh bear pit dah-duh bear pit)…”

Unfortunately, though there were some good scenes (bear. pit.), this episode was the weakest so far this season, at least for me. It felt like a bunch of random, often unnecessary, scenes just got slapped together.

Doctor Who Recap: “Nightmare in Silver”

Come one, come all, to the Neil Gaimanest show of all, well, the one episode of this season’s Doctor Who that was written by said author. Containing lots and lots of Gaiman elements including carnival sideshows, magic tricks that aren’t magic, sullen children smarter and more willing to help than they seem, and disembodied hands. In fact, this recap might spend some time talking about parallels to Gaiman’s other work, which I recognize is tangential to Doctor Who, but you’ll all just have to deal with it. So come on in as I talk about the best episode of Who so far this season, which is to say the only episode so far this season that managed to not make me roll my eyes for at least 99% of the way through it, an episode that actually makes Clara seem like she has a personality.

I’m a sci-fi geek who has never seen Battlestar Galactica. Yes, I know, I know. 2013 is the year I change that, and I’m blogging as I go.

Only two more eps to go until the two-part season finale, and stuff’s starting to get (more) interesting.

Game of Thrones Recap: The Climb

Overall I thought this episode, while good, wasn’t quite so great as the two that came before it. But there were some highlights. And one really, really glaring lowlight.

Doctor Who Recap: “The Crimson Horror”

It says a lot of things, none of them good, when, after a good twenty minutes of episode without the Doctor, I get vaguely disappointed that he’s finally shown up and now the episode is going to revolve around him. Well, I suppose it does say very good things about the trifecta of two lesbian detectives (one of them a lizard) and a Sontaran warrior with some memory problems. The Crimson Horror is a good solid episode of Doctor Who with a classically mad villain with a plot to destroy the world, an intimate betrayal, and the third act reveal of a squicky monster. Let’s begin.

Game of Thrones Recap: Kissed By Fire

This episode wasn’t quite so good as last week’s, but really, that was to be expected. Last week was amazing. This week was amazing-lite.

Doctor Who Recap: “Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS”

Oh, “Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS,” you are a solid episode of Who, with everything that I’d want in a story about the mysterious and oft-hinted at infinite bowels of everybody’s favorite blue box. You even resolved an issue that I’ve been begging the show to resolve all season… but then you retconned it. We could have had it all, “Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS.” We could have had it all.
