Sherlock – “The Blind Banker”
“The Blind Banker” August 1st, 2010 Look, “The Blind Banker” was bound to be a disappointment. First of all, it’s the second act of a three-act series, which means that it has nothing to introduce and nothing to conclude, robbing … Continue reading

Series/Season Finale: Doctor Who – “The Big Bang”
“The Big Bang” June 26th, 2010 While I never publicly agonized over it, the decision to watch Doctor Who’s fifth series (or first series of the Moffat era, if we want to get really complicated) on the British schedule was … Continue reading

Doctor Who – “The Time of Angels”
