My head is so full of what I like to consider “great ideas.” I jot these ideas down and keep an “ideas”-tagged notebook in Evernote that’s overflowing. It’s gotten to the point that, with so many ideas and so little time (and money) to put them into play, I get stressed just looking at that […]
Back a couple of years ago I attended a set visit for a few of Syfy’s (then Sci Fi) shows, including Battlestar Galactica, Stargate and Eureka. I won’t repeat the whole story I’m getting at here, but it has to do with Syfy’s plan to bring a reimagining of Alice in Wonderland to the network, […]
(Season 4, Episodes 10-11) We’re hurtling toward the season 4 finale, and Nancy is going all out. She’s on drugs and ignoring her kids, who are sleeping with older women, selling drugs in sandwiches, and having threesomes. While she seems to be hell-bent on destruction, other characters are trying to improve their lives. Dean comes […]
Oh, Tim and Eric. You assault my brain with such seizure-inducing aggression, I can’t sit through an episode without smelling some hair burning. It’s a good thing I now have the third season on DVD so I can do this at my own pace. And may I suggest that the best way to watch it […]
They are attempting to tie up all the loose ends on Rescue Me. Next week’s finale promises to be a doozy, I think. Last night they put to bed the Franco and Mike story threads. Why the writers dropped Franco’s 9/11 subplot and replaced it with an uninspired boxing angle is still a mystery. He […]
(Season 3, Episodes 15-18) It looks like the fallout of Faith’s murder of Finch is going to be dire indeed. I’m loving the complexity of her character, especially as we hold her up for comparison to Buffy. Despite her bravado, you can’t help but feel there has to be a confused young girl in there, […]
I have a sinking suspicion that the title of this show was all about the above question, on some level or another. Real crafty. So, yeah, the Rock hit Nationals this week, for the big season finale of Make It or Break It. I’m glad Greek returns next week, but I am definitely sad to see […]
Holy smokes, there are a ton of DVDs being released today. If you can’t find something you like in this group … well, you have oddly specific tastes. The biggies this week include Californication, Life, House, Lie To Me, NCIS, Smallville, One Tree Hill, Samantha Who?, and Scrubs. That’s just to get started, though. You’ll […]
I just finished watching Harper’s Island on Hulu. If you’re not aware, it ran on CBS this past spring and summer for 13 bone-chilling, spine-tingling installments. Actually, it wasn’t very scary, but the premise was admirable, if not altogether original. It had a very Screamish feel to it, minus the wild popularity. Poor ratings aside, […]
Although, I have to say, I would hope it would be a sight better than the bomb the duo, plus Isabelle, dropped on Celia in this past episode of Weeds. Talk about failing to meet expectations — I expected something really awesome from the pair, only to be woefully disappointed by the little sting operation they […]
