Beautiful, talented Jensen Ackles
We will be skipping over Jimbo, the dancing monkey, and the clarinet. And only briefly covering the soul of the week and Mary Pat, the new greeter at the Work Bench.
Let’s talk about the soul first. I don’t remember his name, but he’s a drug dealer living in a ramshackle trailer with [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
The Devil tells Sam that Alan never made it to the Vatican, and he’s now back in Hell. Sam’s dad John, holed up in the garage because he’s a zombie, tries out blogging and fantasy hockey on the internet to pass the time. Nina gets revenge on both Ben and Sock for Ben breaking up [...]
I seem to have a love-hate relationship with Reaper. Sometimes even within the same episode, like this week’s “The Home Stretch.”
The Devil pits his sons against each other, giving them the same soul to capture. The winner gets to be Dad’s right-hand man for all eternity, the loser gets bupkus. Since Sam already has bupkus [...]
This week’s review comes with a test, so pay attention, kiddies.
Remember when I said I didn’t know if I was going to watch Reaper any more? Well, I did watch this week’s episode. And I’ll admit it was a bit better than last week’s “Dirty Sexy Mongol.” I chalk this up to three things:
The escaped [...]
What do you miss when you miss an episode? A lot, apparently, if it turns out to be a season premiere. There’s lots of changes, and I don’t have explanations for most of them. And no “previously on…” whatsoever.
So, Sam is the Devil’s son. It was mentioned a couple times in this episode, but it [...]
Did anyone catch the return of Reaper? I forgot to set my DVR, and since I thought the show was on at 9:00 (it aired at 8:00) I completely missed it.
If you watched and would like to review/comment, just reply to this post.

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 [...]
