Lots of fallout from the Tuco incident. Even more whining from Walt. But in the end, we get our reward: Jane! Continue reading →

Riverdale Season 3, Episode 20 “Prom Night”
It’s prom night in Riverdale! Could I BE more excited?
Actually, this may sound a little unbefitting the supposedly intellectual, supposedly adult recapper who stands before you, but I was hoping for this episode to be MORE cliched. More fretting about who goes to prom with who. More meaningful dance scenes. There were some good scares and some great dresses, but all in all, I wanted it to be more Pretty in Pink, less Carrie. Alas, this is Riverdale. You don’t get to have this many plot twists if you waste too much time on prom antics.
Riverdale Season 3, Episode 19: “Fear the Reaper”
I quite liked this episode! Highlights include badass women fighting, another badass woman pursuing her dream, and a twist in the Edgar Evernever saga that I totally didn’t foresee but which makes the casting of Chad Michael Murray even more inspired. Also there’s a Henry James reference that I’m rather embarrassed to report I don’t really get–and that would be the one reference this show would make that I’m qualified to comment on.
Breaking Bad Hatewatch: Season 2, Episodes 1-2
The drug stuff gets more fun! But there’s also marital rape, so… sort of a wash.

Riverdale Season 3, Episode 18 “Jawbreaker”
This episode is somewhat of an homage to Silence of the Lambs, as we’ll see later, so you can expect a lot of half-baked theorizing about criminal psychology. It’s going to be sort of like if a twelve-year-old had smoked crack and then attempted to write a smart psychological thriller about serial killers.
Riverdale Season 3, Episode 17: “The Raid”
Conflict heats up between Betty and the Farm, which gives Chad Michael Murray as Edgar Evernever a chance to strut his creepiest stuff! I had a lot of fun watching this episode, when I wasn’t busy raging over all of the illogical choices that Jughead and Archie were making.
Breaking Bad Hatewatch: Season 1, Episode 7
It’s already the season one finale! It’s a weird finale, strangely staid and anticlimactic, probably because the writer’s strike unexpectedly reduced the number of episodes. However, like many finales, it’s emblematic of the show in general–with moments of brilliance and moments that made me fully cringe.
Plus, blue meth! Continue reading →
Riverdale Season 3, Episode 16: “Big Fun”
The episode delivers on the title — I mean, when does a musical episode ever NOT? It’s still insane, but on the other hand, there’s singing, and a Very Special Guest Star from the classic years of the WB shows up at the end, in a deliciously dramatic fashion. A+ from Adversion.
Breaking Bad Hatewatch: Season 1, Episodes 4-6
The transformation into Heisenberg is complete! But before that–a whole lot of whining. Continue reading →
Riverdale Season 3, Episode 15 “American Dreams”
It’s Riverdale’s fiftieth episode, and in honor of that, they spend the episode celebrating FP’s fiftieth birthday.
