Grimm: ‘Three Coins In A Fuchsbau’ & ‘Plumed Serpent’ – TV Review

Three Coins In A Fuchsbau. It finally happened. A creepy artefact that affects people’s behaviour. Also – Hitler was a Wesen.  The artefacts in question are coins from ancientGreece. They show up at a crime scene and immediately Hank’s...

Game of Thrones: The Old Gods And The New – TV Review

Things are getting serious in Westeros. Theon has taken Winterfell and killed Ser Rodrik (somewhat ineffectively), Robb has found out about it and is now after his former friend’s head. Down in King’s Landing there’s a riot as the...

Minecraft: XBox 360 – Video Game Review

Minecraft is a recent love for me. I originally played it on the PC over a friend’s house and fell in love with it – as predicted by many – instantly. Feth me it’s a good game. Its gameplay...

Game of Thrones: ‘The Ghost of Harrenhal’ – TV Review

I’m going to try something a little different with my review this week. It occurs to me that very few people who read this will have not seen the episode, and so a full recap isn’t strictly necessary. Instead...

Game of Thrones: ‘Garden of Bones’ – TV Review

Things are getting dark in Westeros. Joffrey has gone from being a spoiled brat with an army to a downright sadist. Stannis Baratheon’s scary mistress has given birth to some creepy crawly dark energy thing. Arya Stark is either...

Game of Thrones: ‘What Is Dead May Never Die’ – TV Review

Have I mentioned I love Tyrion Lannister? I do. He’s awesome. In this episode he showed us just how smart, conniving and wily he is. Telling a ‘secret’ to three different members of the small council – Varys, Littlefinger...

Double Review – Grimm: ‘Of Mouse and Man’ and ‘Organ Grinder’

  I’m a little behind on my Grimm reviewing. Real life sucks, and we should all just give in and live on the internet forever. Until then, here’s a double review of episodes 9 & 10. Of Mouse and...
