I wondered why the episode was named after a character from the Archie comics until tonight, when I stumbled upon TV.com’s breakdown of the episode: Forsythe Pendleton “Jughead” Jones III was a regularly featured character in Archie Comics, notable as the lead character in a 1990 cartoon series, Jughead’s Time Police. In the series, Jughead, [...]

Two blog carnivals for TV Tyrant today: • The Carnival of Bauer!!! (cotton candy bullets!) over at The Jack Sack. Adam’s one of my oldest blogger friends and is always funny, so I’ll even forgive him for continuing to harass me over the silent clock issue. • Visions of Winchesters: The Supernatural Variety, over at [...]

Don’t read if you didn’t watch. THERE’S NOT ENOUGH TIME!!! OK, got that out of the way, so I can say this: Damn the gods of 24 for lying about the silent clock. I know that some people say you could hear her breathing over the clock, so it wasn’t TRULY silent. But it was [...]

Though Friday’s installment didn’t have a lot of action, it advanced many elements toward their painful conculsions. One thing I didn’t realize at the time was that Ron Moore directed the episode, his first time in the four years [...]

The words to the William Butler Yeats poem kept running through my head today as I pondered last night’s installment of BSG. “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold” Since the discovery that Earth was a complete ruin, everyone in the fleet has been on edge. We saw that last week, but their inability to [...]

What an astounding return Lost made last night. The show went off in all sorts of new directions and for the first time actually gave us a sense of time. The “Three years earlier” screens we got a couple of times were rather startling, as Lost’s creators have absolutely never attempted to be transparent with [...]

Welcome to the January 22, 2009 edition of the Carnival of Bauer!!! (been such a long time coming!) We needed a week to get our act together after last week’s stunning four-hour premiere, but we’re raring to go. We’ll start off with the man himself, Jack Bauer, who recaps the episode in his inimitable fashion [...]

As a new Supernatural blogger, I naturally sought out an appropriate blog carnival and found Visions of Winchester. The current edition of the carnival is posted here, at the Pop Culture Curmudgeon. Bookmark It

Yours truly, the only female member of Blogs4Bauer, has the extreme honor of hosting the first Carnival of Bauer!!! of Season 7. It’s been a very long time since the last carnival — heck, we were still on Blogspot then — but it’s very welcome. It posts tomorrow (Thursday) sometime… Basically, once I have a [...]
