Six reasons why this season kicks all available kinds of ass. By Sarah Kuhn October 21, 2004 Going in, an inevitable cloud of melancholy hung over the 2004 fall TV season. No Buffy, no Angel, no Whedon love, period. No Alias ’til ’05. Wonderfalls was cancelled, The Simpsons kind of sucks now and that adorable Jake 2.0 is stuck on something called Medical Investigation. So how is it that…
Read More »They’re fat. So am I. Fuck it. By Matt Springer October 22, 2004 It is here, and it is good. The 2004 TV season is fully upon us, with only the classic holdout Fox still to unleash its hordes of new programming and returning series upon an unsuspecting populace. All the other networks have trotted out their slates to us…
Read More »If I were you, I would seriously consider salads. By Matt Springer October 24, 2004 I’m going back to the Final Frontier. For years now, I’ve bitched loudly to anyone who’d listen (and many who wouldn’t) about the sad, slow, excruciating decline of Star Trek. As far as I’m concerned, Rick Berman and Brannon Braga took Trek as I knew and…
Read More »Phlox, deflate your face at once! By Matt Springer October 26, 2004 For years now, I’ve bitched loudly to anyone who’d listen (and many who wouldn’t) about the sad, slow, excruciating decline of Star Trek. As far as I’m concerned, Rick Berman and Brannon Braga took Trek as I knew and loved it and recited the self-destruct code. Through seven…
Read More »Yep, Dave knows it’s a week late. By David B. Grelck October 27, 2004 Oh I think all that needs to be said about last week’s episode is Lauren Graham is wearing black Lisa Loeb type glasses for at least forty percent of the episode. Geeks around the world rejoice. There is much dancing. Okay, not all? Perhaps there are…
Read More »I can’t NOT use the letter E By David B. Grelck November 09, 2004 Okay, yes, I’m a bit behind. So I’ve decided to just mention the reason that last week was so difficult is because it seemed to be a meandering collection of ideas that didn’t quite gel into a full story. Sure there was a lot of interesting…
Read More »Timmy, nooooooooo! By Matt Springer March 04, 2002 We begin today’s “adventure” in a coffee shop. Hey, I thought this was a supernatural soap, not an episode of Friends! I want some spells, I want some excitement, I want some Zombie Charity! Right quick! Fortunately, I don’t have long to wait, as we’re soon treated to Luis having a creepy/sick/riotous flashback…
Read More »Will the Pill’s not-so-excellent adventures. By Sarah Kuhn March 05, 2002 Apparently, the Alias writers decided that it’s time to start inflicting torture on the audience rather than Sydney or one of the other hapless SD-6ers, as this week’s episode is all about Will the Pill. Personally, I’d rather have my teeth yanked out whilst wearing an unbecoming cherry-red wig than watch…
Read More »Bad Hair Scully makes Syd’s life hell. By Sarah Kuhn March 12, 2002 So, yeah. Sydney looks like some woman from an old-ass Rambaldi prophecy. After partially decoding the writing on the Syd-centric page, the DSR, which is basically the X-Files division of the National Security Agency, decides they need to stick their busybody noses into Sydney’s biz-iz-ness. Incidentally, the…
Read More »Bite me. By Sarah Kuhn March 04, 2002 It took me a good while to really get a grasp on the whole “vampires are mad-sexy” thing. I mean, I read Anne Rice and Dracula and all that, but it wasn’t until Angel and Spike swaggered onto the scene with a little snarl, a little swagger, and a whole lotta black…
