This example of Hatch Blowing is going to sound familiar, if you read my previous one on Veronica Mars. As I said then, the transformation of Logan Echolls from unlikeable punk to likable suitor for Veronica was remarkable. Along those same lines, Angel had an amazing transformation to behold, with the depussification of Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. […]
I recently checked out the Sons of Anarchy season one DVD, and absolutely fell in love with the gritty FX show about a dysfunctional motorcycle club and their goings-on. It’s like Rebel with a Cause meets The Sopranos meets American Chopper. Yes, I couldn’t help but think the Teutul family has a few similarities to […]
(Season 3, Episodes 9-12) From serious to surprisingly wacky, the middle of season three saw The X-Files continue a string of strong episodes. Methinks the show has definitely found its stride. The dynamic between Mulder and Scully is so great to watch, especially when they’re separated from one another. Thank god for cell phones, or […]
The third season of Dexter was released on DVD late last month, and I got a chance to take a look at it. This release actually comes at a very good time, as the fourth season doesn’t start until September 27, giving anyone plenty of time to catch up who hasn’t done so already. When […]
I’ve never really been a huge fan of the webisode content that the networks have done to coincide with existing shows. More often than not, it just feels like they are checking off a box for “web promotion” than doing anything of real substance. That’s not to say that the networks can’t get it right […]
(Season 2, Episodes 17-20) That is, she takes them on in what should have amounted to the most wildly appealed case of judicial and legal misconduct that I’ve ever seen on TV. Opposing lead counsels were sleeping together; one of Bobby’s co-counsel and Helen are best friends; Helen interceded on Jimmy’s behalf when he had […]
Yesterday, I looked at the five new shows that I’m most looking forward to this season. It’s a pretty short list, unfortunately. Heck, I only had one on the “Honorable Mention” list. Thankfully, there’s quite a bit of good stuff returning to the network schedule this season. I could, however, come up with just as […]
Good grief … Thursdays are going to be tough on viewers. I don’t know about your schedule, but it looks like I’m going to have to find time to watch 7½ hours of television Thursday night. At least, initially. As for the ratings game, there are a number of interesting new additions to the night. […]
(Season Two, Episodes 14-16) The longer I watch these back episodes of House, the more I ask myself this question, “Do I want to skip everything else when the new season starts?” Granted I know I would miss quite a bit, considering the three seasons I would miss. I would eventually see those, but obviously […]
Which would actually be good news, if there weren’t so many barriers to entry in that market, such as the turf war that Dean and the gang consciously walk right into. This episode was like a civics lesson, too. Propping up the bad guy who is better for you (or not as bad for the […]
