V’s, Baby. V’s.
There are two reasons why, after watching its November 3rd premier, that I’m excited for ABC’s V reboot. The first being that, despite its few flaws, it was clear– by the first commercial break– that the show was succeeding in the numerous ways its counter part, Flash Forward, had failed.
The second reason is Morena Baccarin, [...]
Buffy Fans Have Something To Sing About
November 4, 2009
It’s been more than six years since Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer came to an end, yet the series still lives strong in the hearts of the fans. One such groundbreaking, fan favorite, and Emmy nominated episode was that of the Season 6 musical episode entitled “Once More, With Feeling”.

October 7, 2009
Much can be said about the opening episodes of Dexter’s fourth season. We can discuss the usual Pros and Cons, throw around predictions of what might or might not happen… even share theories on just what the show’s creators think they’re doing adding more silly Deb drama into the mix. But we all know what [...]

September 30, 2009
Stargate, as a series, existed beautifully while operating under campy conditions. Something you needed to watch with an open, accepting smile on your face. Helmed by MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) and produced in a so-so kind of way with, at times, laughable special effects… it was just fine. It made you laugh, think, and after [...]

September 26, 2009
The premiere of ABC’s new sci-fi marketing monolith, Flash Forward, can be summed up in just two words: patently ridiculous. But in case that simple response proves insufficient, I’ve prepared the following taste of what to expect; an almost step-by-step of the show’s first segment.
Open on blatant hook: the aftermath of a catastrophic event designed [...]
Seven New Shows To Watch This Fall
August 13, 2009
Yea, I’m sure Glee, Cougar Town, and Three Rivers will be just fine… but personally, I’m not really into it. Others will be not so fine — but will still (somehow) rake in the ratings (I’m looking at you, The Middle). There will be over 25 new shows this fall, and I have waded through [...]

August 11, 2009
Warehouse 13. It’s a show that makes you cough-mumble “Fringe” whenever talking about it.
Admittedly, I’ve only seen about 20 minutes of the show, and as of yet, I’m thinking I was correct to assume so. But I’m open to find out if the show is worth checking out. Is it just another scifi “original” series [...]
Glorious Tuesday
August 11, 2009
Ahh Tuesday, the media-addicts weekly milepost. While the rest of the world is absently anesthetized, droning through until 5pm Friday, nerds everywhere get a mid-week shot of B12, packaged in shrink-wrap. And that’s why we’re here today, to re-energize you with the most potent potables available. Yes, there are many other (lesser) options, that will [...]

August 5, 2009
Episode 2 of the Lost ARG (Until I know otherwise, I’m classifying this as ARG Material) has been posted at ABC, reminding us long-running questions questions while addressing even more existing plotlines.
Watch it there or view it (along with some clues/questions) after the break.
SciFi, by Any Other Name…
August 4, 2009
What’s in a name? In this case, a lot of kitschy nonsense.
I’ve been able to forgive the SciFi channel for many things over the years. Their silly quasi- original monster movies, for one. Or the fact that they only play Star Trek: Next Generation on Mondays. Even that ridiculous looking vampire detective show my brother [...]
The Lost ARG has Started
August 3, 2009
Comic Con has come and gone, so you know what that means. The latest Lost ARG (Alternate Reality Game) has begun. It seems this time around, they’re going with a fictional 80’s television show called “Mysteries of the Universe” that talks about the DHARMA Initiative.
What can we hope to learn from this? Will it feature [...]
