If you’d asked me nine years ago if Smallville would make it this long, I probably would have placed the over/under somewhere in the six year range. Despite my skepticism, and my on and off fandom of the show, Smallville started this season with a bang, and the name of that bang was Major Zod. […]
Dollhouse is in a bit of a weird place. To call the renewal a surprise would be an understatement. In his letter to critics, Whedon himself called it “a hilariously unexpected non-cancellation.” That leads to a choice between two very different paths. Should the powers that be down at Dollhouse HQ try and reinvent the […]
Fringe settles into what will likely be the episode structure for most of its run. There’s a “monster-of-the-week” element, a la The X-Files, and there’s the progression of the Pattern-related storylines. Again, I guess, like The X-Files. There was a really interesting development with Olivia this week, which I’m really looking forward to watching unfold. […]
Because Russell has been getting so much attention, and it’s well-deserved, we haven’t really spent much time with too many of the other contestants. This week, we got a chance to spend a little more time with Yasmin. In fact, Foa Foa got to spend a little more time with Yasmin. And she proved herself […]
I know for a fact that a lot of you have been eagerly awaiting this moment: the season two premiere of Dollhouse! Fellow Clacker Ivey did a preview post on the episode already, and I have the opportunity to give it an early look as well. Don’t worry — I won’t go spoiling it for […]
Maybe it was crazy middle-aged people that I was missing in my college experience, because even though we only saw it in montage, Pierce and Jeff’s presentation was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. Tiny sombreros, a boat with a Native American prisoner, silly string, and a big finish with sparklers? Now that’s what I […]
Last night’s season premiere of The Mentalist addressed an issue that has always sorta bugged me in this type of show. You’ve got a precinct of police officers and detectives working to solve crimes every day, all of them fully disciplined and licensed to uphold the law, apprehend suspects and question witnesses. Enter expert Mr. […]
(Season 3, Episodes 21-24) Less on the aliens and more on the government cover-up side of things as the third season winds to a close. Weirdly, the finale didn’t leave me as much on the edge of my seat as I expected, though I’m glad that I only have to wait a week to find […]
Fellow Clacker Jason made mention a few weeks ago of a show I’d never heard of before called Durham County. The reason I’d never heard of it before was because it’s a Canadian-produced show that, until this month, hadn’t been on U.S. television before (it started airing season one on September 7, on ION). In […]
As much as I love The West Wing, and as much as I was feeding into the hype surrounding its premiere (being the SportsNight nut that I was at the time), I actually forgot it was on the first night, and only caught the last act. I was instantly hooked, because, well Sorkin is a […]
