When Cory Monteith is looking you square in the eye, talking all earnestly about how exciting the rest of this season of Glee will be, it’s kind of hard not to believe him. Hell, he could look me earnestly in the eye and tell me about that time he rode a unicorn, and I’d believe […]

(Episode 15 – “Once Upon A Time” & Episode 16 – “Fall Out”) It seems as though, as this series progressed, the writers dipped a bit more into the happy juice/snacks/herbs as the season went on. As I said a few episodes ago, The Prisoner really started to stray off of the format we’d gotten […]

Herrick was right about one thing — Mitchell needs […]

It was a bit of a rough week in Eureka. For me, “Shower The People” unfortunately had more misses than hits. The potential was there, but nothing seemed to really work. The idea behind the compressible water was good, but the case it was key to wasn’t all that exciting. Billy Campbell made an appearance […]
