To the point
(This recap was originally published on August 29, 2013.) Okay so you know that scene in Orange Is the New Black when Piper gets in trouble for her sexy dancing and is thrown into the SHU? And remember how the SHU is in Serious Prison, where everything is all gray-colored and no one is getting…
Well hello there! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? After a yearlong hiatus from The Dart, I recently decided to return and use this space to resurrect some of my vast (and I do mean vast) back catalogue of writing. These are pieces that were originally posted on AfterEllen, and then erased from existence. (The…
(This recap was originally published on March 29, 2014.) Oh my God, I have missed you guys so much. And by “you guys,” I mean the characters, the actors, and most especially the fans, without whom this movie would never have come to be. I tried to promise myself that Facing the Enemy would be…
(This recap was originally published on April 24, 2013.) It’s been a tough week for Bomb Girls, what with the cancelled-but-with-a-movie-but-maybe-not news we’ve heard from the network, cast, and crew. Before we get into that, though, let’s talk about the episode itself. Given that it may very well be the second to last time we see our girls,…
(This recap was originally published on April 16, 2013.) Previously on Bomb Girls, Marco Moretti was having a Really Shitty War. I haven’t talked much about Marco’s experience because there was always something more pressing — Betty making a face or Gladys wearing a dress — but here are the facts: Since Season 1 Marco has…
(This recap was originally published on April 9, 2013.) Previously on Bomb Girls, Gladys became a spy, which we never knew we always wanted, Betty fought for her right to be the gayest lady this side of Idgie Thredgood, Kate decided to give back to the world through song, Lorna missed Bob/having control over multiple lives,…
(This recap was originally published on April 2, 2013) I’m just going to say it: this was my favorite episode of my favorite show on television right now (I get to say that because Pretty Little Liars is on a break). I come at recapping from a pretty cynical place, both by training and inclination,…
(This recap was originally published on February 7, 2013.) OH MY GOD YOU GUYS. THIS EPISODE. I mean, I saw the preview and it shook me up but I strutted right up to this episode like a cocky little Reggie and said “here are my feelings, take your best shot.” And then Bomb Girls, (because…
(This recap was originally published on January 25, 2013.) Good morning and welcome to the most action-packed episode of Bomb Girls yet. Last week, Kate delved into a life of sin in an attempt to gain more jazz credibility, Betty let Ivan make all kinds of hockey metaphors in the back seat of his car…
(This recap was originally published on January 18, 2013.) Dear Bomb Girls fans, I have to open this recap with a thank you. Thank you for being so calm, so understanding, so amazing about this whole Ivan/Betty business. Actually I think you are a lot more rational about it than I am, which I appreciate…
