24: The President Smarm vortex

So, I wasn’t gonna write about 24 this week. Not because of anything with the show, but because I have been cranky, distracted and have got a to-do list a mile long before I move next week. But you what? 24 is almost over, and how many chances will I get to write about one [...]

Time of the Angels

Steven Moffat, Doctor Who’s new showrunner, seems to be working overtime. Having written 75% of the season thusfar, each of his entries are solid, if not superlative. Two weeks from last Saturday, the Doctor’s past will meet with his future, thoroughly confusing his present companion. Confused? So was I, but in a good way. “The [...]

Supernatural: A plan. Finally!!

I have magical powers! Last SPN post I asked for the return of Lucifer, and guess who showed up this week? So, I wish for a miiiiiiiiiiiiillion dollars… The CW promo’d this one as a stand alone, and if it was gonna be one at this late date, I would have been so mad. But, [...]

Lost: The pieces are falling into place

I had a sudden moment watching Lost tonight (first chance I had to sit down and watch!) that made a whole heckuva lot of things make so much more sense. (Insert usual spoiler alert, blah blah blah.) The cabin that Ben used to visit Jacob at wasn’t Jacob’s cabin at all. Jacob had trapped Smokey [...]

glee: Madonna Mania!

Up until a few years ago, I would have never considered myself a Madonna fan. That is until one day when I was going through my CD collection, and I realized I owned almost every Madonna CD that existed at that point - including the soundtrack to “Dick Tracy”. So, as you can imagine, I really enjoyed [...]

24: Always been a fan of recycling

Listen, I hear all of you, I do, retread, recycled, done to death, here we go again… but you know what, I still like it. I just can’t help myself. Jack goes off all cocksure and angry, it just gets me every.single.time. So, along with the expected move of Jack stealing the helicopter (from his [...]

Supernatural: Kiss and Man Up

I would like to admit up front that I have always felt that Supernatural is really Dean’s story. Don’t get me wrong, Sam is vital, but I feel like the whole story of the Winchester’s is all about Dean’s journey more than anything. So this week, we had to put up with sad, vaguely annoying [...]

24: Jack’s gonna spiral out of control. Yay!

As ticked off as I was last week that Renee “Red Hot” Walker was killed off, an interview that Annie Wersching gave to TV Guide gave me hope for the rest of this season. SPOILER ALERT, don’t read if you don’t wanna know anything at all – though this spoilerism is more of a general [...]

Barely Whelmed

The latest Doctor Who, Victory of the Daleks, is not a terribly original or interesting entry into the series. Mark Gatiss, member of the superb comedy troupe the League of Gentlemen, gives us a very pedestrian entry mixing two of the more tired elements of Doctor Who throughout its history – Daleks and historical bigwigs [...]

glee: Welcome Back!

Oh, glee, how I love you. Why did you stay away for so long? I take no shame in my unabashed love for this show. From the very first moment of the pilot, I was enthralled, and my love grew and grew, right up to the big sectionals episode. Then, in their infinite wisdom, Fox [...]
