Nobody But Me

February 22nd, 2011 by jason

I always find it interesting when, seemingly out of nowhere, a song from the past suddenly starts appearing in multiple places. A few years back I noticed it was Frankie Valli (which I then figured had something to do with Jersey Boys). Now the song “Nobody But Me” by the Human Beinz (originally by the [...]

Caprica Finale

January 9th, 2011 by jason

I just finished watching the finale episode of Caprica (the spin-off/prequel to Battlestar Galactica) and my mind is whirling from it a bit. This show, like Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles finds itself in the interesting position of existing within and challenging an extremely loved franchise. I’m fairly certain that with both Battlestar Galactica and [...]

Finale Thoughts

March 21st, 2009 by jason

After last night’s disappointing (to me, at least [but I don't have any overly insightful thoughts on it so I won't really elaborate -- I just thought it was too normal/straightforward/not-twisty-enough]) Battlestar Galactica series finale, I started doing some thinking on the nature of series finales (I seem to be watching a few this season: [...]

Twin Peaks Shoes

February 23rd, 2009 by jason

Because what everyone is really missing is a pair of Twin Peaks-inspired shoes, Nike has a special ‘Twin Peaks’ shoe for all of us obsessed fans. And the bottom has that black/white zig-zag pattern from the Black Lodge! Too bad it looks like it’s definitely made out of leather, otherwise I might consider getting a [...]

Everyone’s Waiting

February 22nd, 2009 by jason

I watched the final episode of Six Feet Under again last night. This is the second time I’ve gone through the entire series start-to-finish. I’m not one to cry very often from movies/TV shows (I can pretty much count the times: I cried once during Buffy the Vampire Slayer and twice during Friday Night Lights). [...]

Who Shot The Final Cylon?

January 21st, 2009 by jason

Spoiler: If you don’t know the identity of the final cylon on Battlestar Galactica, stop reading. Otherwise… (and I’ll be removing this “jump” in a few weeks…)

Swingtown Canceled

December 6th, 2008 by jason

First it was Dirty, Sexy, Money, now I find out that Swingtown is canceled. Swingtown was a short-lived show on CBS about swingers (but not really) in the 1970s. The characters were fun, the production design was excellent (you really felt like you were in the ’70s!), and the politics were smart (lots of issues [...]

R.I.P. Dirty, Sexy, Money

November 21st, 2008 by jason

My friend Jennifer broke the news (via Ausiello) that Dirty, Sexy, Money is over… or will be, at the end of this season. Although this show wasn’t quite as dirty or sexy or money as the title makes it sound, it was good. I loved the cast and the overarching mystery (“Who killed Nick’s dad?”) [...]

Vampire Hair

I love the io9 post about bad vampire hair. I actually liked Angel‘s hair…
