Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams “Kill All Others”: It’s Not All Cheese and Circuses
Totalitarian regimes are a frightening concept but the proposition that when they achieve such control that the mass populace buys into its “new normal” is even more chilling. Initially, “Kill All Others” plays out with some levity built into its hyperbole. A world where advertisements are so invasive, they can…
A Final Bates Motel Moment of Goodness: Brotherly Love in “The Cord”
[Warning: Spoilers for the series finale.] Bates Motel closed up shop tonight after five seasons, and while Season 5 as a whole was just really, really hard to watch because Norman was self-aware of his insanity, I wanted to at least mark the finale because I did love Season 3 in…

Bates Motel Says Goodbye to Norma Louise in “Norman”
“I’ll Be Home For Christmas” is a wistful holiday tune, and the key phrase as it concludes is, “if only in my dreams.” I think that’s where we’ll find most of the action going forward on Bates Motel, because they went there.
Norman Makes a Move in Bates Motel “Forever”
I knew something was up last night when Bates Motel started trending before I finished live Tweeting 12 Monkeys. I’m spoiler averse, so I had no clue what that might mean, but I figured it couldn’t be good. When I finally got to watch it, I was sort of waiting…
Norma Admits Her Truth to Romero in Bates Motel “The Vault”
Hey there. So, I’m going to barrel clumsily into this and hopefully come out the other side with a coherent point. I haven’t been wholly down with this season of Bates Motel so far, partly because by putting Norman into treatment, they’ve split his arc away from Norma’s, creating two…
Bates Motel Preview: “Goodnight, Mother”

The Unraveling Begins in Bates Motel “A Danger to Himself and Others”
Wow, I have missed this show. My DVR’s hard drive failed right after Christmas so my ready-to-go Bates Motel fixes from last season went with it, and I hadn’t sought them out online. Watching the season premiere, I was enthralled, if I’m going to be honest. There’s so much going…

Thank Me Later: Will Trent
[Warning: spoilers ahead.] I’m on record as loving and losing shows over at ABC so I’m usually very reticent to pick something up on the network until it’s been renewed, and I seriously hope I’m not jinxing it, but I took a chance on the deeply odd and very sweet…
