I am Sherlocked! (Spoilers)

6/20/2013

By Cookie 'N' Screen

“That Benedict Cumberbatch, he’s a bit alright, isn’t he?

Up until a month ago, this was pretty much my level of expertise when it came to the BBC’s Sherlock.

“A month ago?”

Yes, a month ago.

“But it has been going since 2010.”

I am fully aware of this. Unfortunately, during 2010 I funnily enough had just moved to London and had no internet or television. What I did have was a library card, a blockbuster card and a fresher’s year at University to play around with so you’ll have to excuse me if I was a bit slow on the uptake with Sherlock. It literally escaped me, undetected, up until now.

Also, if you note how easily I can obsess with television shows and films, it was probably good for my own sanity that I didn’t discover Sherlock until recently. But after stumbling out of the second screening of Star Trek Into Darkness with my legs quivering, a great friend handed me over the box set, demanding that I watch it. Now, considering that I just managed to claw back some of my life after the Hannibal television series stole it, handing me a television show such as Sherlock was like giving a drink to a recovering alcoholic. Luckily for me, I slipped off the wagon with what can only be described as the finest scotch created and not the swill I had been drinking before…

Game of Thrones season 3 - Mhysha (Spoilers)

Here we are then. Ten weeks down the line and it’s all over for another year. Season three of Game of Thrones has been a tough one to get through, though not in a bad way. I’m not denying there hasn’t been bad bits here-and-there, there almost certainly was in the veritably stagnant episodes mid-season, but there were also some ruddy good bits as you might expect; superb character development was abound, and there were many scenes that will go on to become some of the most memorable of the entire show. The [literally] award-winning formula of political intrigue, bloody violence, dark humour and raunchy sex was waiting around every corner, more-or-less. The final episode, Mhysha, was no exception, but did have to compete with events from last week’s episode. Did it do the season justice?

Game of Thrones season 3 - The Rains of Castamere (Spoilers)

6/10/2013

“And who are you?” the proud lord said, “that I must bow so low?” The unofficial anthem of House Lannister begins in this manner, and from there on in The Rains of Castamere is a sombre tale of death and misery. You can imagine my disdain when I found out what the name of this week’s episode of Game of Thrones was; this week’s episode, which just so happens to be the infamous ninth. Ever since Baelor in season one, episode nine has been recognised as a veritable harbinger of the end-times; Baelor saw the end of poor old Ned, and season two’s ninth featured the Battle of the Blackwater. Season three’s ninth episode featured something that I’m still finding hard to process, even now. It doesn’t need any explaining. If you’ve seen it, you’ve seen it. If you haven’t, I wouldn’t advise reading any further…
