A very bumpy second episode… Game of Thrones S3E2 – Dork Review
In most shows, the second episode of the season is time for consolidation, properly setting up the character arcs for the year.

Making Alien Abduction Seem Acceptable Since 1963! It’s Doctor Who S7BE1 – Dork Review
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).

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.
