WARNING: THIS WILL NOT BE SPOILER FREE!

Normally, I do not enjoy spoiler warnings on reviews. It’s a review. You should expect some things to be revealed. HOWEVER, this week’s Scandal was THAT intense, the episode should be viewed before reading anything.


Billy Chambers is the mole. In a series of quick...

Grey's Anatomy Season 9 Episode 24 'Perfect Storm'

Super Storm Seattle. Maybe the writers watched a lot of Super Storm Sandy coverage and wanted a way to get that storm to the West? Why not! The doctors are faced with surgeries in the dark, a few unexpected new comers, and the parting of a legend. (I did not see it coming…)

Mad Men: S6 E7 "Man With A Plan" Recap

Posted by Frederick Floss on May 13, 2013 at 6:15 PM Comments comments (0)



Looks like my "Don Draper the superhero" hypothesis was ill-timed. In last night's episode, we saw Don at his lowest even as his stature at SCDP seemed to reach a new peak. We all knew that his caveat last week in getting Ted to merge their agencies wasn't going to keep everyone happy. But this week finds Don at his most alienating. He alienates his ...

The framework of this episode was genius. The plot twist at the end, also genius! I’m really looking forward to binge watching the rest of the episodes this summer. One thing is for certain watching this show, you think you know. But do you ever really know?


Each scene opens with Cyrus behind the mic of the White House press roo...

Grey's Anatomy Season 9 Episode 23 'Readiness is All'

Its hurricane season in Seattle and the Sloan Grey Memorial deals with the consequences of high winds and rain to the best of their ability. First of all, a hurricane in the Pacific Northwest? I don’t think so. Second of all, I missed the part where they renamed the hospital! So touching! And weird for Me...

Mad Men Season 6 Episode 6 'For Immediate Release' Critique

Posted by Frederick Floss on May 6, 2013 at 1:05 PM Comments comments (0)


 

The dangers of change have been hanging over this dour season of Mad Men like a swinging pendulum. For the past few episodes it seems like Don reached a point in his life where all he could do is marinate in his own distinct existential depression. The marginalization of his presence and agency was reflected in SCDP’s consistent string...

Scandal Season 2 Episode 20 'A Woman Scorned'

There are a lot of threats, a lot of yelling, and A LOT of drama. Scandal throws you into episode 20 at 800 miles per hour. This was always one of those shows that sat on the backburner of my “To Watch” list. I have read nothing, but rave reviews about the cast and plot, so when a...

Grey's Anatomy Season 9 Episode 22 'Do You Believe in Magic?'

My roommate and I made up a game this season of Grey’s Anatomy. When the show airs and we are both free on Thursday nights, we tune in when we can and try to catch up from where we left off in season 6. In our first run through this season there was only one thing we picked up on, EVERYONE IS DEAD! So many new characters, new kids,...

Mad Men Season 6 Episode 5 'The Flood'

Posted by Frederick Floss on April 29, 2013 at 12:05 AM Comments comments (0)

In this week's episode, the cast of Mad Men was torn apart by one of the defining events of the 1960's: the assasination of Martin Luther King Jr. While the turbulent political landscape of the decade was always slowly building up in the background of the show, last night's episode seemed to let history strike directly at the heart of every characte...
