I just realized I never posted my review on this week’s episode. I wrote it, but forgot to post!
Sarah meets up with UFO buffs while trying to track the three dots. Much of that storyline was interesting but ho-hum, even with the shooting. And I pegged that woman as a dude [...]

This episode was the very best of the season. I’d even tentatively say it was the best of the series so far.
And no meaningful person-from-the-past plot! Bonus!

This week’s episode was great for a few reasons:
1. It pulled everyone together. Almost the entire episode was shot at the Buy More, starting before [...]

I don’t think NBC ever made it official, and there was no announcement of “series finale” or anything at the end of the most recent episode, but I’m pretty sure it’s done. Yet another nail in the NBC’s coffin, as far as I’m concerned. They gave a ton of support to really bad [...]

The promos for this episode made it clear we were getting yet another person-from-the-past in Sarah’s Dad, which is enough to push this show into ridiculousness. Yet with a few minutes of cynical attention, the dedicated viewer was in for a surprise–a pretty decent episode.

Sarah takes a personal day, igniting Chuck’s curiosity enough to [...]

A career thief and sometime murderer named Neeva Casol (Dawn Olivieri) accidentally touched the wrong Ancient device during a heist, causing her to swap bodies with Dr. Jennifer Keller (Jewel Staite).

The following review contains spoilers.
Atlantis received a garbled transmission from Todd the Wraith. Since his hive ship was just sitting over Atlantis and not attacking or responding to attempts to contact it, Sheppard’s team, with Lorne’s team as back-up, was sent up in a jumper to investigate. While on approach to the hive ship, the [...]

In a unique presentation, this episode was presented with absolutely no Connors. And I found it to be one of the best of the season.

The episode once again uses flashbacks to Derek’s future that he already lived, intertwined with a situation in the present dealing with someone Skynet wanted dead, and flashbacks to the [...]

I didn’t have much time for blogging last week, and here we are ready to go again with a new week of shows. So I’ll review all my assigned programs in one fell swoop! Keep reading for insight into last week’s Chuck, Terminator, and My Own Worst Enemy.
Alas, we have piled up three [...]

As a fan of Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series of books, I was surprised I hadn’t heard anything about this new show until I stumbled across it while channel-surfing.  Color me excited at my discovery.  It always struck me as a story [...]
