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 pair.

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 around [...]

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?”) is [...]

Vampire Hair

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

The Final Cylon? A Gay Cylon?

November 19th, 2008 by jason

io9 has a (part 1?) feature about who the final cylon on Battlestar Galactica is. I honestly have no idea who I want it to be. I’m worried that I’ve been waiting to find out for so long that no matter who the final cylon is, I won’t be satisfied… I’m also worried that it [...]

Pretending To Be Blind

September 23rd, 2007 by jason

Strange that in season 2 of both Dynasty and Smallville someone is blinded by some traumatic event only to have their sight return but keeps it secret and continues pretending to be blind to see the true intentions of those around them. Both Lionel Luther and Blake Carrington fake their blindness.
I’m not saying that the [...]
