The teaser of this week’s Lie to Me ended with the main character, Cal Lightman, seemingly shot dead. There’s been a buzz since the airing that, because there was never any doubt that by the time the end credits rolled the human lie detector would be back on his feet, the drama was all manufactured […]
(Season 1, Episodes 8-9) After taking some time to really dive into to some of the characters of Carnivale, including the Dreifuss family and Brother Justin, some of the mystery and intrigue of the series returned to the forefront in these two episodes. I’m still really enjoying Carnivale. The mood and setting are definitely very […]
… a catalyzer! “Wait, a what?” For anyone who’s up on their Firefly lore, a catalyzer is that critical piece of equipment that a Firefly-class ship needs in order to function … pretty much at all. You probably would remember this piece best from the awesome Firefly episode “Out of Gas”, being the piece that […]
After watching this past Sunday’s episode of Dexter, for me, a couple of things about two of the show’s characters came back to the surface. I’m talking about Agent Lundy and Detective Quinn, two of the lesser-known and relatively newer characters on the show. There’s something about each of these guys that I’ve had a […]
Just so you know, I’m not saying that it isn’t. But the hype that the show’s getting, both at CliqueClack and everywhere else I’ve seen … doesn’t hype usually end in disaster, with a lot of tears and a high rate of teen pregnancy (huh?)? For starters, there’s the premise itself: the talking heads definitely add […]
Somewhere, in the Showrunners For Dummies book, there is a cross-referenced note from the Medical Drama and Holiday sections. It’s a rule that Halloween is a more important theme episode than any other holiday of the year. People just seem to be all kinds of crazy come the end of October, and, reliably, the workload […]
Since watching this episode of Greek, I’ve been trying to come up with a mental list of TV shows that managed to conveniently arrange for all of their adolescent characters to stay behind somewhere and make Thanksgiving together. The real 90210 keeps popping into my head, but I just can’t put my finger on it. […]
With most of the big sets out of the way, our DVD attention now turns toward the older shows. This week does offer a couple of current things from Battlestar Galactica, Adult Swim, and The Secret Saturdays. The real gems, however, come from years gone by. My pick for the week would be the new […]
The fact that last week’s incredible premiere totally left out two of the best characters on the show really speaks to just how good Venture Bros is. Even better, that situation was remedied this week with “Handsome Ransom” as The Monarch and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch made their return. Also along for the ride were […]
Halloween really lends itself well to the Castle style, and the writers really pulled out all the stops when given the chance to run with it. The big surprise of Nathan Fillion in his Mal costume from Firefly was given away long ago, but it was still great to see. As a bonus, it wasn’t […]
