 It’s that time of year again. Flower prices are skyrocketing, restaurant reservations are hard to come by, jewelry stores are bustling and all around North America people are wishing that life were as romantic as their TV. So in honour of this most auspicious holiday, that of St. Valentine, I thought I’d revisit the issue […]
Friday Night Lightsis like nothing I’ve ever seen. This week’s episode, entitled “Hello, Goodbye” was a perfect example of everything that makes this show so remarkable. No one slept with their best friend’s brother or keeled over from a heart attack; there was no brain surgery, no malicious plotting, no robots, no aliens and no […]

Tonight’s post-superbowl supersized episode of The Officesomehow managed to remind me that the show has lost it’s way while also reassuring me that the things that I loved about it in the first place still linger there somewhere. There was a lot in the episode that was hopelessly idiotic. Falling, once again, into dangerous and […]
