When you have a show that runs as long as ER, certain plot points end up being rehashed from time to time. This is logical; if, in the 15 seasons the show has been on the air, you had only one instance of a child abuser, or a drug addict, or a crazy guy with something […]
First, let me extend my gratitude to the fine folks at CBS for their tireless airing of every single March Madness game played each year. Me? No, I’m not bitter. I’m just not a huge sports fan and would prefer to know when my shows I enjoy watching will air. Cold Case started a bit […]
This week’s episode of 24 certainly ramped up the tension factor. The show’s been getting more and more interesting to me each week, and this was my favorite episode of the season so far. We’ve got a dead senator (Red from That 70’s Show), a psychotic corporate suit (Jon Voight), a dimwitted FBI guy (Larry […]
… kind of. There was a lot of pressure put on “Cold Snap” long before it ever aired. The show’s struggles with the ratings have been well documented. And this episode was the first written by Bryan Fuller since his return. Fans, and I’m sure more than a few network executives, have been holding out […]
“I’ve got to figure out a way to introduce some wood into Bilson’s dark atrium … I think you know what I meant.” — Ted I agree, that’s a pretty lame quote, but what can I write about an episode of How I Met Your Mother that doesn’t even include a decent Barneyism? Sigh … […]
I keep on thinking Tracy is going to get burned up in that warehouse, but alas, none of my dreams ever come true. HRG actually convinces The Hunter to let her go, proving once and for all that he is indeed a villain. In other Heroes news, Angela is on the run (and presumably awesome) […]
The painting pictured above was shown a couple of times in this episode of Breaking Bad, as Walter stared at it in his hospital room. I chose to put it here because it really spells out the theme for this show, at least from Walter’s point of view. Like a seaman of centuries past, he […]
This week in Jane’s World, I saw the light regarding that punk-rocker vampire Spike, and it was bright and shiny. But 24 is making me blue, and those mannequins are freaking me out. Read on for my clacky thoughts, and feel free to add your own in the comments. Buffy Update: I’m feelin’ the Spike […]
March Madness is wreaking havoc on CBS shows, in general, reality genre or not. I suppose the whole thing could be construed to be one huge reality show, brackets and all. But I won’t be covering it. Nothing against basketball, but I never understand why the college games are virtually ignored by major networks all […]
After last week’s episode, several commenters wondered about how Sayid and young Ben Linus were going to be interacting. I suppose I never really considered that Ben might be in danger from Sayid. I mean, we know where he will be and what he will be doing 30 years in the future, so I don’t […]
