Indiewire: Game of Thrones, Season 6 reviews
Now that season 6 of Game of Thrones is done, here’s a compilation of my reviews for Indiewire. HBO did not make screeners available this season. Rather than do traditional episodic recaps, they convened a group of writers to provide short, rapid responses to each episode. I was honored to join a roundtable of really great critics including Hanh Nguyen, Sarah Mesle and Eric Deggans. And as the resident book-reader of the group, I also got to write a longer essay looking at how the show did after surpassing the source texts.

Indiewire: Downton Abbey, Season 6 Reviews for Indiewire
The fine folks at Indiewire engaged me to write recaps of the final season of Downton Abbey. I said, “You want me to tell people what I think? About a television show? And you’ll pay me? Sign me up!”
This was fun and engaging challenge, to find the sweet spot between simply summarizing events and including my own reactions and opinions. Especially with a show that I’ve found problematic and frustrating over its last few seasons.
I’ve assembled all the links into this one master post, in case one day I want to re-live the never-ending slog that was the hospital plot line.

Project Launch: “Terminator Genisys: The YouTube Chronicles”
“Terminator Genisys: The YouTube Chronicles” stars Toby Turner, Lilly Singh, Eliot Dewberry, Ricky Hayberg, Woody Tondorf, Olga Kay, and the man himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Earlier this year, I got the opportunity to write a multi-part YouTube series that would combine the Terminator franchise with the world of YouTube stars. The shoot took over YouTube Space LA a couple of months back, as a huge crew turned my errant scribbles into something that looks out of this world.
In addition to the 3 main narrative episodes, we also shot one in 360/VR. For this one, we developed a new Terminator model - the T-360 (natch) with its own unique version of Terminator-vision.
