Season Finale – Lost – “There’s No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3″

“There’s No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3″
May 29th, 2008

“Who the frak is Jeremy Bentham?”

[In case this 4700 word review wasn't enough, here's more post-podcast thoughts about the Lost finale! Was the finale spoiled by the one which preceded it, dooming it from the very beginning? Well, no, but it's a valid argument.]
This is [...]

Reflections: Preparing for the Lost Season Four Finale

Preparing for “There’s No Place Like Home”
When Lost ends its fourth season tonight, it has a lot to live up to: not only is the show known for its mind-blowing finales, in particular its most recent one, but it is coming at the end of a season with a lot of momentum. It’s hard to [...]

Battlestar Galactica – “Sine Qua Non”

“Sine Qua Non”
May 30th, 2008
Yes, you’re not seeing things: that date above is in the future, which means that I have perfected the art of time travel. Or, more accurately, I’ve perfected the art of hijacking a British satellite feed in order to watch this week’s episode of Battlestar Galactica three days before it airs [...]

Greek – “A Tale of Two Parties”

“A Tale of Two Parties”
May 26th, 2008
As two competing parties emerge in the context of the newly lifted regulations, I will myself place a new regulation on Cultural Learnings: from now on, I am going to stop complaining about Casey Cartwright.
This is going to be a serious issue, considering how it seems as if every [...]

Greek – “No Campus for Old Rules”

“No Campus for Old Rules”
May 19th, 2008
If you’re wondering why this week’s review of ‘Greek’ is so far behind, I just unfortunately wasn’t able to get to the episode before now. Blame the television gods for that one, I guess, but I’ve finally been able to spend more time with a show that continues to [...]

American Idol – Finale – The Duel of the Davids

“Finale”
May 20th, 2008
Well, FOX would like us to believe that the battle between David Cook and David Archuleta is like a boxing match, which is really not the most apt metaphor for a variety of reasons. First off, in this day and age, most boxing matches are rarely as close as this battle, and no [...]

Season Finale – Gossip Girl – “Much ‘I Do’ About Nothing”

“Much ‘I Do’ About Nothing”
May 19th, 2008
This one is a bit late, but only because last night was a bit earlier than my previous ones. Considering the traffic that my review of January’s mid-season finale is getting, there’s a lot of people who want to see how Gossip Girl’s first season turns out, particularly [...]

Season Finale – House – “Wilson’s Heart”

“Wilson’s Heart”
May 19th, 2008
Last week, I thought House was style over substance for 55 minutes before, in the final moments, it transcended into something more interesting – suddenly, a rather pointless and indulgent episode took an intensely personal turn, and “Wilson’s Heart” had a lot more dramatic resonance by default. Placing Amber in danger is [...]

Season Finale – How I Met Your Mother – “Miracles”

“Miracles”
May 19th, 2008
For quite a few series, there isn’t much to go on as far as judging the show’s return post-strike – can we really fairly judge the quality of a series by only four or five episodes designed to either tie up loose ends or pump out content for their network before May Sweeps [...]

Battlestar Galactica – “Guess What’s Coming to Dinner?”

“Guess What’s Coming to Dinner?”
May 16th, 2008
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Season Four.
Yes, certainly, there has been some strong episodes in this first half of the fourth season, so my apparently very late welcome to the series is not to say that the show has been wholly off its form since its premiere in early [...]
