Fringe is back this week: Expect to become more confused than usual

I was quite happy to hear Fringe would be back this week and intrigued, to say the least, that the second episode, airing on Monday, Jan. 11, is an unaired one from Season 1. Thursday’s episode is called “Unearthed.”
(Note: Some blogs, including some linked to below, have said Fringe isn’t back until Jan. 11, Monday, [...]

Fringe, or How I Learned to Be Happy JJ Abrams Is Making Awesome TV Featuring Walter Bishop

OK, that was a really long title.
But that’s to make up for being so lax in blogging about Fringe so far this season, despite the fact that Walter Bishop is, bar none, my favorite character on television at the moment (that includes shows that are on hiatus right now).

Aussie John Noble plays Bishop impeccably, with [...]

Supernatural: The End. Kinda.

An interesting episode of Supernatural last night. The main question posed is one that seems to come up on all the shows I watch, somehow.
Can we change our future? Our past? Is the timeline immutable? If you see your future, is it possible to change the past, or are you stuck because you’ve seen it, [...]

Boycotting the Emmys

I went back and forth on whether I’d live-blog the Emmys tonight, mainly because, after all, this is a TV blog.
But then I thought about it.

Where’s Battlestar Galactica? Kings? Did Jericho ever get any love?
Sure, critical darlings 30 Rock and The Office, though relatively low-rated (compared with the CSI juggernaut, anyway) get lots of Emmy [...]

Fringe + Leonard Nimoy = Awe.Some.

Heard some awesome news this weekend – Leonard Nimoy is going to reprise his role as William Bell as much as he wants to in Fringe’s second season.

The show started a bit slowly, but built up to an incredibly astoundingly jaw-dropping finale that blew my mind not one, but TWO times.
Part of that, of course, [...]

The state of science fiction on TV

As it is with every year, a whole bunch of science fiction-y shows were canceled at the end of the season, but I have to give it to the networks for trying a bunch of new ones next year.
It was so hard to keep track of the comings and goings during the upfronts, but SciFi [...]

Fringe: A big freakin’ cup of awesome

Every Tuesday night, I sit with my laptop, futzing around on the Internet while watching Fringe.
I knew I’d like it – it is J.J. Abrams, after all – but the first couple of episodes promised to be as infuriatingly mysterious as Lost, but not nearly as interesting and character-driven. Whoa – was I wrong.

Even characters [...]

NBC brings us a new post-apocalyptic drama: Day One

Just got the news that NBC Universal is going to have a show that should be very cool in the fall (still no word on Chuck, though Heroes got renewed): Day One.

Here’s the official description:
From executive producer/writer Jesse Alexander (“Heroes,” “Lost,” “Alias”) and director Alex Graves (“Fringe,” “Journeyman”), “Day One” tells the story of life [...]

Lost: Dead is Dead

Watching Lost, I realized tonight, is like being repeatedly punched in the brain (not the head, but directly in the brain).
Not that I mean that in a negative sense.

Benjamin Linus is probably the most maddening character on television. Ever. EVAR.
And there’s no one I enjoy watching more (well, Fringe’s Walter Bishop comes close, but for [...]

DVR roundup

I’ve been catching up on all sorts of shows lately, so I thought I’d just wrap up some thoughts on some of what I’ve been watching:

Burn Notice
I think Michael Westen got his groove back. I absolutely adored Season 1. I enjoyed individual episodes in Season 2, but as a whole it left me feeling sort [...]
