Geek Overture

Pan Am has successfully stayed on the air for a full season, much to the surprise of some of its critics who claim the show is enjoyable but lacklustre, that the storylines are slightly far-fetched with not a lot of gusto to back it up. While the show is entertaining and adorable, its struggle to [...]

After the winter break, Pan Am returned to screens across the UK and we’ve bundled the episodes to give you a recap of the 1960s mid-air mid-season events. Secrets and Lies Kate: The story picks up where the mid-season cliff hanger left us: with a smoking gun in Kate’s hand and her fleeing the scene. [...]

Romance is heating up this week on the mid-season finale of Pan Am. Captain Dean and Collette play hooky from their flight to London after Dean promises Collette he’ll teach her how to fly a single-engine crop duster out in the countryside. Oops, forgot to tell her that it’s at your parents’ farm, didn’t you [...]

This episode was, as with most Glee episodes, a complete mish-mash. Though not as borderline offensive as ‘I Kissed a Girl’, last week’s episode, it still relied heavily the theme of lovely reasonable men fixing all the crazy lady problems. Wooooo. It starts off with a good healthy dose of Quinn crazy. Even though Quinn’s [...]

It has to be said that like (I’m sure) many other viewers, Ricky Gervais has forced me into a love-hate relationship with his work. He’s a genuinely funny chap. The quality of The Office from top to bottom should not be forgotten as a turning point in British television, and for all its failings Extras ended with [...]

I heard this great joke you guys, what’s the difference between western pop culture and a zombie? One is such a shambling revenant stumbling from one goofball calamity to the next for whom merciful thing would be to end its suffering and the other IS EATING MY BRAINS so I guess there’s not much difference between [...]

It’s apocalypse time! This week on The Walking Dead we’re having an old-fashioned country doctor jamboree as Rick carries his buckshot-riddled eight-year-old toward the little house on the prairie like a sack of root vegetables. I’m no big city veterinarian but that’s probably why he’s got all the internal bleeding! By the way the doctor they [...]

Here’s what you missed…on Glee! Just kidding! As there was no new Glee this week, we decided to tide you over by recapping last week’s Glee instead, just to keep you ticking over. Aren’t we nice? So….last week’s episode was very similar to its title, “Asian F”; not bad, but crushingly disappointing all the same. [...]

Timey wimey! It’s the new indicator that time is magic and whatever the Doctor says about time you should just accept it. Saturday’s season finale, watched by over six million chaps in the UK at the regulation time and at least one (hello there) on iPlayer, featured some pretty flimsy logic and some pretty excellent doctory moments, and kind of a damp squib of an ending for River Song’s storyline.

This week’s episode of Glee more than made up for last week’s. Then again, I don’t think it’s possible for an episode named ‘I Am Unicorn’ to be bad.
