Earlier this week saw the series finale of Person of Interest and I've already watched the episode twice. Not since Chuck (2012) have I been so invested in a television show and not since then has a finale absolutely nailed it ( Read more... )

Nothing like a barrage of live-tweets to help you document and relive such an excellent episode of television:

I cannot believe the #PersonofInterest finale has come around so quickly! One of my all-time favourite shows... I don't think I'm ready.

Going in to see Deadpool, I had no expectations. The trailer looked great but, despite the Marvel seal of approval, I am not a Ryan Reynolds fan. He always strikes me as smarmy (even when he’s trying to be charming) and that just irks me. Also, I don’t think he’s done anything decent since 2 Guys, A Girl, And A Pizza Place…and, if I’m being honest ( Read more... )

Three years ago, I had no idea who Chris Hardwick was. It was only because I started planning our first ever SDCC pilgrimage that I caught on ( Read more... )

Wow. Wow. Wow. I can't even form thoughts right now, much less compose a coherent post. But the brilliance of writing is that you can be very considered in your critique and take the time to really reflect on all aspects.
