Lost and Done

May 9th, 2007 by jason

I’m very excited that an end date has been set for Lost.
I think all of us who watch it have been worried that it would either drag on for season after season and become overly complex and irrelevant (a la The X-Files) or get canceled before things could get wrapped up neatly (a la Twin [...]

Fun Stuff I’ll Be Doing Soon

April 10th, 2006 by jason

I’ve been trying to come up with some sort of an events calendar/database for stuff like upcoming concerts, talks, CD/DVD releases, etc. that are of particular interest to me. So far I haven’t found a solution I like (so I may just write something on my own), so in the meantime I’ll just do a [...]

A Desperate Prediction

March 27th, 2006 by jason

Even though I read stuff like SpoilerFix and this hasn’t showed up, I’m predicting that on Desperate Housewives when it comes down to the Bree vs. Andrew storyline (for those not familiar or caught-up with the show, Bree’s son Andrew is trying to become emancipated because she’s conservative and somewhat homophobic), Andrew’s boyfriend Justin (who [...]

Getting Lost

January 18th, 2006 by jason

In my continuing effort to succumb to popular and mainstream television culture (see: Desperate Housewives, The West Wing), I’ve added Lost to the list of current TV shows that I am now going to follow.
I all started sometime in the fall when Molly made a comment about how a friend had gotten (or was getting) [...]

Serenity Just Now

October 1st, 2005 by jason

(I was joking the other day about how nearly every article I’ve read about the new Joss Whedon movie Serenity somehow incorporates the phrase “serenity now!” in the headline… and now here I am hopping on the bandwagon. Oh well.)
Thanks to Ahe’s mini-review of Serenity earlier in my blog, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the movie’s [...]

Wait, Worry: The Time Is Near: Part One

September 17th, 2005 by jason

When it comes to the television show Millennium, there seem to be two camps (the “owls” and the “roosters” perhaps?): one group thinks that during season two when Glen Morgan and James Wong took over executive production (because series creator Chris Carter was focusing on Fight the Future [the X-Files movie]) the show went downhill [...]

Collateral Damage

September 16th, 2005 by jason

Consider this to be an “introduction” to the forthcoming episode-by-episode review of Millennium season 3.
Last night I watched the episode “Collateral Damage.” Right now I won’t go into an actual review of the episode. I just wanted to mention that the episode guest starred James Marsters (looking very Spike [from Buffy]) and Art Bell (weekend [...]

Missing Miss Ellie

August 11th, 2005 by jason

Yesterday, Barbara Bel Geddes, who plays Miss Ellie on Dallas died. I find this sad for a few reasons.
First (and this could be a happy reason?), Dallas season 3 just came out on Tuesday. It is kinda cool that she survived to see season 3, but sad at the same time that people will be [...]

Disconnected

August 5th, 2005 by jason

I was very sad to find out yesterday that MSNBC’s television show Connected Coast to Coast with Ron Reagan (and this annoying conservative named Monica Crowley) is being canceled. The network is adding Rita Cosby (who used to have a show on FOX News of all places) to the lineup and Reagan is getting bumped. [...]

Upcoming Fall Goodness

August 1st, 2005 by jason

Within the next few months there are going to be a lot of exciting things for me to buy. I keep forgetting what comes out when, so in an effort to remind myself, I am posting the dates that these exciting things are being released to I can head over to Best Buy (or wherever [...]
