After last week's slightly vacant episode, which could've happened in almost any series, Merlin hits the series five button hard this week to compensate, centring on Mordred's presence in Camelot and the looming prophecy that he will kill Arthur. What depths of depravity will this drive his loyal … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Walk With Me – Dork Review
For the last two reviews, I've found the new, tense, survival-heavy Walking Dead season 3 a vast improvement, and dreaded the inevitable onset of quieter episodes. That day is here already, guys. This week, we ditch the regular cast to focus on Andrea and new character Michonne encountering the … [Read more...]
Red Dwarf X: Dear Dave – Dork Review
Only two episodes to go in this ridiculous tenth series of Red Dwarf, and this time Dave Lister grapples with his love life (or total lack of same), whilst Rimmer fights demotion to the same awful rank as Lister. So, do either of them get what they want? And is this an improvement on last week's … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 4, Episode 1 – Dork Review
Running a bit late with this review, sorry, was assembling an Ikea wardrobe. But nobody cares about that, let's get down to it. The naughty Misfits are back, down to only one original cast member after losing Kelly between series, and they've got new characters to introduce and a paranoid heist … [Read more...]
Merlin: Another’s Sorrow – Dork Review
In the first few Merlin episodes this series, big things have happened - advancements of the Mordred storyline, major character reunions – surely we must be due one where literally nothing of any use takes place? Half an hour of running around, followed by a fast reversion to status quo? So is … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Sick – Dork Review
Last week, I gave a glowing write-up to The Walking Dead season 3 premiere, in which our heroes stumbled upon an abandoned prison and tried to clean it out as their new home, leaving one character injured, along with the discovery of still-living prisoners in the cafeteria. This time, I return … [Read more...]
Red Dwarf X: Entangled – Dork Review
Four weeks in to Red Dwarf X, and this has been better than I expected. Not perfect, and the third one was probably the weakest, but still a more effective marriage of classic sitcom style with science-fiction than they've managed in a few series. And this week, two characters get … [Read more...]
Strictly Come Dancing Review – Week Two Vs. Hollywood Week
For the third week in a row, Strictly Come Dancing has managed to beat out The X Factor in the ratings stakes. But that should be no surprise – this year is proving to be a rip-roarer of a competition. Despite the return of the much-maligned dance off, this year's cast continued to be stellar … [Read more...]
Merlin: The Death Song of Uther Pendragon – Dork Review
Now the opening two-parter is over, does that mean the BBC's Merlin goes back to business as usual? Comedy antics, bromantic hinting and regular characters falling in love with baddies? Well, in last year's episode #3, former King Uther Pendragon dropped dead. This time, he's back for a … [Read more...]
The Walking Dead: Seed – Dork Review
The zombies return for a third year in The Walking Dead, ready to chew everyone up and spit them out, probably because we reviewers were so mean about their previous run. Yes, it had pacing problems in the middle and was over-soapy, but they seemed to get their shit back together by the last few … [Read more...]
