As Merlin draws closer to its ultimate finale, they cast aside all that Evil Gwen guff and give us what we want to see: shit going down. Not all the way down, of course, not right down to funky town, but a fair old way. So, which side will Mordred pick in the war(dred)? And will those prophecies … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Kindness of Strangers – Dork Review
Reviewing Merlin has become an extreme sport now, after the BBC announced that this will be the final series. Anything could happen! Arthur could discover Merlin’s secret! Minor characters could die! Mordred might finally do something! So, only four episodes left including this one –any of that … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Made To Suffer – Dork Review
Okay everyone. Settle down. It’s time for the first skirmish between the two survivor groups of The Walking Dead, and it’s the mid-season finale, so mid-level pain could really go down. Will someone die? Will they matter? Will we come out of this excited for season 3.5? And will Michonne finally … [Read more...]
Merlin: With All My Heart – Dork Review
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...]
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...]
Red Dwarf X: The Beginning – Dork Review
The series finale of Red Dwarf X is here, a tenth run that has swept through some great scenes, trudgy plots, awkward jokes, fine character humour and weird budget constraints. The last couple of weeks have, in my opinion, been the weakest though – can they pull it back for the ending? And what … [Read more...]
