Game of Thrones: Breaker of Chains
Everyone is still playing the Game of Thrones, but the interesting thing this week is who actually still enjoys it. In the immediate aftermath of the murder, Sansa flees and is lead to a ship by her fool of a savior. Littlefinger is aboard the ship, all whispers and lies. He reveals the method of the assassination, crystals on Sansa’s necklace, which was given to her not too long ago by that same fool. Then he all but admits to her that she was manipulated… Read More »
Face Off: Cry Wolf
A classic supernatural showdown cuts the Face Off field to the final three. Last week’s non-elimination challenge lead directly to this week’s second part. Each artist has to make a werewolf that is the nemesis of last week’s international vampire. Sounds good. This was a mostly uneventful episode. George had trouble with his injured wrist, and Tyler had a crisis of faith (in himself), solved when Michael and McKenzie went out of their way to encourage him. Mr. Westmore had a ton of really excellent,… Read More »
Game of Thrones: The Lion and the Rose
Wedding bells are ringing in King’s Landing, and everyone is gathered together for this joyous occasion. We revisit Ramsay Snow and Theon Greyjoy, now known as Reek, to start the episode off. Ramsay and his…girlfriend?…are hunting some poor girl because Ramsay thought she made the girlfriend jealous. The girl is torn apart by dogs. All of these people are foul monsters. When Ramsay’s dad, Roose Bolton, returns home from the Red Wedding, he’s ticked off that Ramsay mutilated Theon. Now he’s no good as a… Read More »
Face Off: Bloodsuckers
This season of Face Off grinds along, with the remaining four contestants creating international vampires this week. Notice that the remaining four artists are the nicest, most helpful, enthusiastic people on the show? Not that everyone who’s been eliminated was a jerk or anything. Lots of nice, helpful, enthusiastic folks have gone by the wayside. But people with big egos, sour attitudes, or weird agendas never make it to the top. These four guys are all talented, and they all seem like awesome people. In… Read More »
Game of Thrones: Two Swords
The fourth season of Game of Thrones leaps right into the fray, with broken romances, vengeance fulfilled, and plans for a wedding. Game of Thrones obviously has a lot of complicated pieces in play, and at times it’s guilty of spending entire episodes just positioning those pieces, lining them up for future collisions. But this season we start out with the pieces rolling down a steep hill. Let’s start with everyone’s favorite Mother of Dragons. Daenerys conquered the city of Yunkai and liberated all the… Read More »
Face Off: Industrial Revolution
A robotic challenge brings out the best in most of the remaining artists on this week’s Face Off. At Union Station, McKenzie talks about robots replacing humans. Everyone has to pick an occupation and create a robot that can do it, making sure it has a major technological advantage over humans. Right off the bat Daran starts whinging about “not doing robots,” and his photographybot’s design looks hilarious. This is obviously a very fabrication-heavy challenge, which gives Rashaad a big edge. His fabrication skills are… Read More »
Walking Dead: A
Terminus! Season finale! Brutal murders! And from it all emerges a new Rick Grimes: the warrior king. Rick, Carl, and Michonne are on the road heading toward Terminus. They stop for the night to sleep in an abandoned truck. Remember how those scumbags Daryl was with were tracking Rick for killing their buddy in the house? Well it does not take long for the shit to hit the fan this week. They ambush Rick and Michonne immediately. Daryl (who later explains he was hanging back,… Read More »
Face Off: Freaks of Nature
On this week’s Face Off, the contestants mastermind some mutants and I continue to be confused about the judging. Only six remain! So it’s off to a prestigious FX school (and Neville’s alma mater) to design creatures based on genetic mutations. The cool part of this was that, instead of just sketching, each artist got to work with a Zbrush artist. Zbrush is a 3D modeling program, and it was amazing seeing these guys work. This gave everyone a much more detailed and interesting “sketch”… Read More »
The Walking Dead: Us
Was anyone else kind of nervous about Walking Dead this week? Luckily it was just a long dark tunnel full of the reanimated dead. There are very few shows I’ll watch the opening credit sequence for over and over, even if I’ve DVRed the show and could fast forward. Walking Dead is one. The theme song just sets the mood so perfectly. That moment when it modulates downward and the strings come in just in time for that descending drone? Shivers, every time. What we… Read More »
Face Off: What a Dahl
It’s time for a whimsical challenge, and we all know how much I like whimsical challenges. Not very much. Sometimes a contestant just doesn’t connect with a certain type of challenge, and they’ll say something like, “I’m just not into wizards,” or, “I’ve never seen a zombie movie.” Well I really know how they feel. I’ve got no interest in children’s books or Roald Dahl. I actively despise that Chocolate Factory movie and always have. So despite Dahl’s daughter Lucy being involved, I wasn’t really… Read More »
