Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked

Oh my goodness. Just when I thought Damon Salvatore’s whole bad-boy-with-just-enough-good-to-make-you-think-maybe-we-shouldn’t-stake-him thing was the hottest act since Logan Echolls first punched out an FBI man and Spike started singing about letting him rest in peace, they upped the awesome factor.   This week’s episode of The Vampire Diaries featured the return of vampire-mama, Isabelle. And […]

In Defense of Faires as Theatre or I just can’t wait for Faire Season For those of us who worship Hugh Laurie for his portrayal of Dr. Gregory House, I’m sure no one even considered for a second missing last week’s episode. For those of you who don’t, I’ll explain. Last week (not this past […]

Thoughts on the Real Celebrity Jeopardy

– The questions are significantly easier, I could answer most of them (something that’s just not true about the regular episodes of Jeopardy). – Though I’m mad at him for beating the adorable (and apparently incredibly competitive) Neil Patrick Harris, I have to say that Cheech Marin is absurdly good at Jeopardy.

Or maybe it was the delightful callbacks to previous episodes that always make loyal fans happy (college Ted, post-Natalie Ted, post-Stella […]

I must first admit that it took me a few days to gather my thoughts about Alumnae Theatre’s production of The Queens by Normand Chaurette, translated by Linda Gaboriau. Upon my return to Toronto after a year of participating in the Halifax theatre scene, I was very excited to get the opportunity to start my […]

That’s How Funny+Meaningful is Done

After the aggravation that was Glee this week (the inconsiderate, bratty son parade and the over the top insecurity showcase mixed with super cheese and lack of funny- see Wednesday’s @mytvblog tweets to read more), I can’t tell you how happy it made me to watch the latest episode of Cougar Town. Consistently funny (um […]

BRING BACK PUCK
 

Glee‘s unparalleled best character hasn’t had a storyline in months, appeared in 2 shots of this entire episode and had only 1 line this week. He’s the most engaging, the most charming, the smartest, the most complex and hands down the hottest. Give Him Something To Do! PS: If I was supposed to come away […]
