Double Reading

(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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

It’s been over a week since I last got my West Wing fix, so I’m feeling the need to do something West Wing related until my friend returns from vacation and I can resume season two (so far we’re about eight episodes into that season). As promised, here are some of my thoughts about things [...]

So in addition to Buffy and Angel and The L Word and The X-Files and The Simple Life and Millennium and Dallas and Dynasty and Firefly and Nip/Tuck and The Surreal Life and Queer as Folk and Sex and the City and others I am probably forgetting, for someone who “doesn’t watch TV” (and I [...]

What is it about primetime soap operas that make me love them so much? The double-crossing? The affairs? The oil businessmen? The absurdity? I just can’t say. Today I started watching season one of Dynasty and I’m hooked — just like Dallas and Knots Landing before them. But seriously, Dynasty is hardcore. Maybe more hardcore [...]

It’s no secret that I’m a huge Buffy and Angel fan. That said, I don’t really fall into that category of fan who thinks that Joss Whedon is the smartest and most talented man in the world. Yea, I love Buffy and Angel and I am one of the few people who don’t hate Alien: [...]
