I never noticed the symbiotic Ben/Sock relationship before this year. I suppose I should have realized its oddness when they were cavorting in the back yard with the badminton rackets, but perhaps I hadn’t yet seen enough of their shenanigans for it to register. Anyway, I’m definitely going to have to do a Ben/Sock retrospective [...]

Apologies for the lateness of this review. I was out of town last weekend and did not have access to a TV at the appropriate time. On with the show.
Things are finally starting to come together. Past victims are starting to turn up and minor plot points from previous episodes are starting to become significant. [...]
Ah, the season finale. At least we know the show will be back for a second season. And it didn’t end in a cliffhanger. (I hate those!) But, for what should have been the penultimate episode, I thought it fell a tad short. But let’s discuss…
Kahlan has misgivings about confessing Richard, as we knew she [...]
Richard Cypher's sister Jennsen and Darken Rahl
In “Fever,” Richard’s “Pristinely Ungifted” sister Jennsen returns. With the news that Darken Rahl’s men are searching for her, Jennsen goes on the run with the two boxes of Orden that were entrusted to her. As the men close in on her, she throws the boxes into a lake. [...]
This episode didn’t do a lot for me (probably the reason it’s taken me so long to write a review), despite the discovery of another Book of Counted Shadows and an enchanted painting. And the presence of Darken Rahl. Some of the problem might have been that this week’s protagonist, Livia the Librarian, looked more [...]
A little to the left…a little more…perfect! Now Dean will never notice I accidentally started the Apocalypse.
Sick of genre shows that give you boatloads of questions and never answer them? Well, welcome to Supernatural, the show that doesn’t play that game. Okay, there are one or two exceptions. But even those are answered in this, [...]
Have you ever laughed so hard you couldn’t stop and ending up with tears running down your face? Most likely you have, but those moments are rare. “To Sprong, With Love” gave me one of those moments, and for that it gets an A. Heck, I’ll give it an A+ for all the other hilarious [...]
Are you there, God? It's me, Sam Winchester.
As I admitted back during “The Monster at the End of This Book”, I’m a Samgirl. So this episode was a challenge to watch, filled with heartbreaking Sam moments as it was. On the other hand, it was exciting to see Jared Padalecki portray Sam’s emotional struggles–many of [...]
I was going to do a Reaper Two-fer, reviewing “My Brother’s Reaper” and “To Sprong, With Love,” but Wrenchy Bench the latter episode deserves its own review. So, until I get it written, you’ll have to bide your time with last week’s episode.
It’s the week for new roomies. Nina moves in; because, you know, Ben [...]

What’s In, What’s Out?
News came yesterday that Fox has renewed Dollhouse but canceled Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Fox executives are saying it wasn’t an “either or” decision, but that Terminator:TSCC’s ratings fell off a bit towards the end despite Fox’s “support and some consistent scheduling.” (Source) I have to ask how is Friday night at 8:00 a [...]
