The new-but-not really series of Doctor Who begins, complete with the debut of new-but-not-really companion Clara (aka Jenna-Louise Coleman). Coleman first popped up in Asylum of the Daleks as a surprise, before making her “real” appearance in The Snowmen. Both those episodes were good, if not … [Read more...]
Can they fit more kills before the finale massacre? The Walking Dead S3E15 – Dork Review
In the penultimate episode of last year’s The Walking Dead season, we saw the biggest fatality of the whole run, when poor Shane realised too late that picking a fight with the lead character is a stupid idea. So, in this second-to-last effort, will we get a similar epic move? Or is it more … [Read more...]
Bowties, baddies and brunettes: Check out a preview of the new Doctor Who
So who is excited about Doctor Who returning to our screens on 30 March? Yup, I didn’t think I was the only one – and not only because it’s my 21st birthday (I personally take it as a sign from the Doctor), but because these past three months have lacked the show’s spark and we need our Whovian … [Read more...]
Outstanding Achievements – Parks And Recreation S1E5- Dork Review
Last time on Parks And Rec, Leslie made a bit of a booboo, April The Intern got drunk and we learned that The Old Boys Club is still very much a thing. Rah! This time, there’s banqueting afoot in honour of Leslie’s mother, while Tom and Mark try to hook up with some lovely ladies. If you … [Read more...]
Can we survive a whole hour in Woodbury? The Walking Dead S3E14 – Dork Review
Honestly, if you’d told me beforehand that The Walking Dead was headed for a stand-alone story featuring only the Woodbury end of the cast, I would have executed a dramatic eyeroll. This part of the storyline has always been a little one-note. But nonetheless, this is what we have: Andrea, … [Read more...]
Stealing Food, Stealing Food – Parks And Rec S1E4 – Dork Review
Last time on Parks and Recreation, we learned all about the joys of canvassing. And... yeah, that’s about it really. Lots of canvassing went on. And a smidge of filibustering. But just a smidge. This time around, Leslie tries to weasel her way in with the political old boys and Andy has a … [Read more...]
Playing Rock Band On The Job – Parks and Recreation S1E3 Dork Review
Last week on Parks and Recreation, a reporter came to cause a spot of bother, Ron made himself out to be the king of Scrabble and I learned to my horror that I had been spelling Leslie Knope’s name wrong in all my reviews so far. No better time to right the wrongs! This week... Well, … [Read more...]
A Little More Conversation, A Little Less Zombies… The Walking Dead S3E13 – Dork Review
I was dreading this week’s Walking Dead rather, as last episode was an excellent ray of sunshine, but mostly because it avoided the Governor/Woodbury arc. That storyline hasn’t really recovered momentum since the show came back from mid-season break. This time, we get another standalone story, … [Read more...]
Tweep Is The Word – Parks And Recreation S1E2 – Dork Review
Last week, we were introduced to the... well, colourful staff at Pawnee, Indiana’s parks and recreation department. I took a shine to Ron Swanson, learned that complaints are just “people caring loudly at you” and that the name Knopfe is just another way of messing with my head. This time on … [Read more...]
How do you feel about the Being Human series finale? S5E6 – Dork Review
Bloody hell. The last ever Being Human has aired, and I’m opting not to waste my word count on preamble. Spoilers, iPlayer, let’s get on with it. … [Read more...]
