This week, Merlin finally brings an end to the Evil Gwen storyline, after weeks of confusion. Not to mention, dragons, cross-dressing, Emrys and the awful knowledge that, yes, the series ends at Christmas, so anything could happen as we build to a climax. Sounds like With All My Heart must be … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: When The Dead Come Knocking – Dork Review
Two worlds orbit each other in this week’s Walking Dead, as our dual settings (Woodbury and Prison) exchange a couple of characters, make small talk, then finally, tentatively but oh so gently, start torturing each other. And with the mid-season finale next week, hopefully bloody revenge isn’t … [Read more...]
Merlin Ends With Series Five – Dork Reaction
Last night, suddenly, the BBC announced that Merlin would conclude at the end of the current series five. You can see the full statement on CultBox, but it includes all the pleasantries you'd expect: The show had a good run, but this was their time, we must stand by their bedside and hold in our … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Hollow Queen – Dork Review
When we left our Merlin heroes, Evil Queen Gwen was trying her utmost to kill Arthur, whilst Merlin and Gaius slowly twigged that something wasn't right. This week: could it be more of the same? Will we get a straight explanation for Gwen's evilitude? Or will Arthur simply get naked with an old … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Hounded – Dork Review
This season of The Walking Dead exists in two worlds: the prison, where most of our previous cast live, and the new town of Woodbury, populated by two villains and the least likable member of the old ensemble. I wonder if the residents realise they’re living in an evil fortress. But nonetheless, … [Read more...]
Merlin: A Lesson In Vengeance – Dork Review
Last week on Merlin, an epic desert slog happened, climaxing in Gwen’s badly set-up turn to the dark side. But all is not lost, they could still push on to better stories with Evil Gwen, and they’re going to have a go right now. So, will she kill the King? Best watch the episode on iPlayer to … [Read more...]
Walking Dead: Say The Word – Dork Review
Last week’s The Walking Dead was harrowing, knocking off two long-time characters (or, as we’ll see later, potentially three) and driving our main man over the edge of lunacy. We shuddered, we wept, we wondered if we were happier during season two when the show was dull. So, surely it’s time to … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Dark Tower – Dork Review
This week, Merlin chills out with Stephen King's Dark Tower novels for the entire length of the episode, whilst Arthur comically blunders about the place, wondering where his servant has gone. Hijinks ensue. Neither Morgana nor Mordred appear. Obviously, that (mostly) isn't true. But what does … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Killer Within – Dork Review
It feels like The Walking Dead has been taking those “too boring!” criticisms to heart, as this year they’re determined not to stand still for a single second. I don’t want to say too much in this intro, but um, wow, I’m starting to get whiplash. So, another big episode then. Best get going, and … [Read more...]
