(Season 1, Episodes 9-11) There aren’t enough kid villains in the world. Thank god there’s The X-Files. Plus, I never knew anyone took that “face of mars” image and made it into a creepy mask on an old man’s face. All in all, these were pretty solid spook-em-up installments. I felt for Mulder trying to […]
I must be different from most people who are writing about television, because everywhere I go people keep hating on Mental. I’m not saying it’s the second coming of great television, but I also don’t see what’s so despicable about it. It is taking a little bit of time to establish the personalities and motivations […]
(Season 1, Episodes 9-12) If the girls in my high school were allowed to wear dresses and skirts anywhere near as short as Buffy’s generally are, I think I might have flunked a few times to stick around longer. 9 – “The Puppet Show” (Original Air Date: May 5, 1997) Damn, I should have given […]

That said, Pushing Daisies charm is so much in the narration, the bright pastels and the whole tone of it visually and aurally that I fear it will be lost in the translation to a words-and-static-images […]
Hey did you get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather this week? Don’t worry if you did, we’ got your back. Here’s some of what went down in the world of television: The TCA (Television Critics Association) Awards nominees were announced, with NBC and The Shield leading the pack. But I still want BSG to […]
(Season 1, Episodes 5-8) I guess after three of four episodes with a “MythArc” element, the creators wanted to relax and go for some fun, non-connected episodes for awhile. So all four of this week’s episodes are of the “Monster-of-the-Week” variety. 5 – “The Jersey Devil” (Original Air Date: October 8, 1993) The most disappointing […]
