The last British invasion not to involve Francis Scott Key or Hessians took place in the late seventies and was led by the likes of Johnny Rotten and Elvis Costello. It was called “punk” and it would change music for the better at a time when the medium needed it most. MTV helped champion the […]
(Season 1, Episodes 1-4) Beyond being young, female and a little gossipy, I don’t consider myself part of Gossip Girl‘s sexy target demographic. Trust funds and body shimmer aren’t particularly important to me, so I shouldn’t be interested in GG, right? As it turns out, my rebellious streak, surly demeanor and the ominous theremin music […]
(Season 1, Episode 6 – “The Stork Job”) After a bit of scheduling weirdness last week, the show returned to the original episode order with a job that took the team to Belgrade. An odd mix of circumstances that included gun runners, orphans, and what appeared to be the set of a Sci Fi Original […]
With all my recent watching of The Wire, I’ve had Lance Reddick on the brain. These days he’s busy playing Broyles on Fringe, but last season he was one of Lost‘s most intriguing new faces: Matthew Abaddon. He wasn’t a featured player, but I think any Lost fan will remember Abaddon as the man behind […]
Ivey West is back Guest-clacking for us again this week…. Imagine a two minute glimpse into your future: Where are you and what are you doing…? Most importantly, who are you doing it with? Having a dinner with your wife? Watching the news? Reading Keith’s post about the BSG finale (can someone let me know […]
(Season 1, Episode 12 – “Hello, Goodbye, Amen”) 90210 has been off the air for so long that if it weren’t for the fact that I review it, I probably would have forgotten about its existence. While we don’t exactly pick up where we left off, we may as well have, because nothing has actually […]
(Season 1, Episode 11 – “Red John’s Friends”) “He is Man.” – bloody scrawl on victim’s wall Well, you knew that they weren’t going to catch Red John tonight, right? Here we are, halfway through the season and the first new episode of 2009, and it’s a big Red John story. Most of the episodes […]
Hey there, Frakkers. This week SciFi Wire has a sneak peek video of what looks like the opening scene of the first of the ten remaining episodes of Battlestar Galactica. It’s wonderfully shot and doesn’t really reveal anything other than Earth being scanned by both the humans and Cylons, neither finding signs of life. Of […]
The Janitor (no other character name known) has a problem. Who does he turn to? Not a family member, or one of the many doctors at Sacred Heart Hospital. No, he calls on his very own Brain Trust, that collection of otherwise clueless minds on Scrubs, who work in tandem to solve his problems. The […]
We were impressed with the Black Friday deals. We swooned each week over the holiday sales. Well, we’re now wiping the drool from our chin with one hand as we frantically place our orders with the other, because the post-holiday sale at Amazon is too good to be true. Buy one, get one free? For […]
