Desperate Housewives – Lesbians and Girl-on-Girl Kisses

Sometimes I think Desperate Housewives portrays people accurately, with Tom and Lynette getting the “most like a real couple” award (except for last week’s scene at Bree and Orson’s dinner table). Then there are other times when the show sinks to cartoonish antics that don’t resemble real life at all. In this week’s episode, Susan […]

Castle – What do any of us know about our neighbors?

Now that Castle’s copycat killer is out of the way, and isn’t it nice that they dispatched with that story in the first episode, we get our first shot at what it looks like for him to shadow Beckett as he works on his next book. Really, that’s where we’re at with this show. There […]

House is recycling old themes again with new cats

Breaking Bad – “Ding!”

I’m desperately trying not to tear through all of the screeners in one sitting like a starving dog loosed upon […]

How I Met Your Mother and the ninja star danger jock

HIMYM is a puzzle to me … besides the whole “who is the mother” puzzle, that is. The puzzle I’m talking about is what viewers of this show deem to be a good or funny episode. A lot of the time I’ll think an episode is meh, while I read comments from people saying it […]

Syence fyction: because geeks are inhuman

Yesterday I posted a Guest Clack written by colleague and all-around good guy, Michael Hinman, who runs Airlock Alpha. What some of you may not know is that Airlock Alpha used to be called SyFy Portal and looked quite different than it does today. Mike hinted at Airlock Alpha to me a while back, though […]
