“The Beginning of the End”
January 31st, 2008
It’s the event we’ve been waiting for since last May, when Lost ended its third season with a rattlesnake in the mailbox in the form of a new flash forward format. It was the episode that convinced many that Lost was back on track, and was a return to [...]

Apologies and a Podcast: A Cultural Update
You know, folks, I had big plans for this week in my head – a review of last night’s new episode of House, a preview of ABC’s new series Eli Stone, a big post about how to prepare to watch Lost’s Fourth Season, and of course a review of the show’s season premiere. And, well, [...]

Screen Actors Guild Awards – Television Winners and Thoughts
This will be brief, as I am entering an extremely hectic period in terms of work and the like, but I thought I’d react to this evening’s Screen Actors Guild Awards from a Television (series) perspective. It may only be an hour in, but all six major television awards have been given out, so let’s [...]

Friday Night Lights – “Humble Pie”
“Humble Pie”
January 25th, 2008
The WGA Strike afflicting Hollywood was supposed to be a blessing of sorts for Friday Night Lights, as it stands as one of the only series left with a considerable number of episodes in the can. However, it is obviously also a curse, as “Humble Pie” came across as a stagnant filler [...]

Season Finale: Chuck – “Chuck Versus The Marlin”
“Chuck Versus The Marlin”
January 24th, 2008
I’ve decided to actually post this after the episode airs, as a courtesy considering that it is a bit of a suspenseful ride of sorts. After “Chuck Versus The Undercover Lover” was amongst the best episodes of the series yet, it’s hard not to see this as a bit of [...]

Cable Bound: Sci-Fi Acquires Rights to Air Jericho
A while back, I noted how the Writers Strike finally showed one of its benefits when CTV picked up Mad Men for Canadian broadcast: it was a move that probably wouldn’t have happened if not for a lack of new programming, and it was vindicated by the series’ Golden Globes victory. Now, however, an entirely [...]

Chuck – “Chuck Versus The Undercover Lover”
“Chuck Versus the Undercover Lover”
January 21st, 2007
While NBC is planning to air the final two pre-strike episodes of Chuck as part of an Apprentice sandwich on Thursday, January 22nd, CityTV chose to air the episodes in Canada on the show’s regular night, Monday. The result is that viewers had a chance to gorge on the [...]

Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles – “The Turk”
“The Turk”
January 21st, 2008
Last week, I had relatively positive things to say about Sarah Connor Chronicles, which was a surprise to Dave at The Watchers. Over the weekend, he checked out the series for himself, and their third episode has all sorts of not so nice things to say about the series. And while I’m [...]
