„Burt, fucking, Reynolds!?“ Reviewing a game like Saint’s Row: The Third might sound easy, but to me it’s a pretty hard thing to do. I’ve basically sunk 25 hours into a sandbox GTA-clone, 25 hours I spent running tanks out of airplanes, […]
“Got caught in the wrong cookie jar.” (Nucky) After having given it some thought, I’m absolutely stunned at the fact this episode was just as disjointed as I thought it was going to be. It’s obvious: in an episode with Nucky in […]
“Sybil is entitled to her opinions.” “No. She isn’t until she is married, then her husband will tell her what her opinions are.” (Lady Crawley and Violet) For an upstairs-downstairs type show, this episode of Downton Abbey spent a lot of time […]
“My brother. He’s smarter than you are. And a lot more dangerous.” (Eli) What an episode. What an episode! Sure, it was all set-up for the season’s final five episodes, but what a set-up it was! This was Boardwalk Empire as we’ve […]

“If she’s got a boyfriend, I’m a giraffe.” (O’Brian) Now who doesn’t like the fair? I sure as hell don’t – today fairs are synonym for teenage kids drinking breezers and barfing on the bumper carts. But back when life was different, […]
“Now I’ve just got to figure out how to get home.” (Peter) This must’ve been the most subtle plot twist ever. It took until about thirty minutes after the episode finished for me to get it. This is it. It’s the solution […]
“Yeah, I understand. You want Schlampen.” (Eddie) For an episode called “The Age of Reason”, it certainly focused a lot on irrational guilt. It was like a confession, which makes sense after last week’s episode, which was sin all around. Almost every […]
“I’m not being ridiculous. No Englishman would *dream* of dying in someone else’s house – especially somebody they didn’t even know.” (Violet) Well that was surely strange. Who would have ever thought people would die in a British costume drama? And that […]
