The autumn TV schedule has started and I haven’t been motivated to say a thing about it until now. It’s not the fault of the schedule, how could it be with the return of favourites like Haven, Scandal, Arrow and Person of Interest. No, I was demotivated by one show and I can’t believe I …
Head banging your way out of TV show fandom
Sometimes TV shows make it hard for you to remain a fan. Either the showrunner or writing staff change and with it the tone of the show or your favourite character is continually left out of major plots or is killed off. Or even worse the show completely jumps the shark and needs to be …
Under the Dome The Fourth Hand – I’m done
Another late review for Under the Dome, I don’t know why I’m not rushing back every week to watch the show. Oh yes I do, it’s because it’s killing me slowly inside which is why this will be my last review of a show I thought had promise. Can’t get them all right I guess. …
Under The Dome episode 8 review: Thicker Than Water
Season 1, episode 8 The interesting thing about watching Under the Dome right now is the appearance of monarch butterflies.

Under the Dome Outbreak review
Season one, episode 4 It’s day three under the dome and the town experiences an Outbreak. Despite looking forward to this week’s episode of Under the Dome I found myself multi-tasking.

Under The Dome episode 3 review: Manhunt
In this week’s episode of Under the Dome, the townsfolk were ready to lynch Policeman Paul for accidently shooting Policeman Buddy. If these folks were actual witnesses to the shooting surely they would know that death by dome isn’t an open and shut case. Sure Paul was stressed and shot at the dome. It was …
