Pushing Daisiesis an excellent show. It is cinematically beautiful and brilliantly acted, the stories are engaging and linear, the tone is consistent, the mythology is well-developed, the characters are multi-dimensional and the symbolism resonates clearly. So what’s the problem? There has to be a big problem since no one actually watches the show and ABC […]
One of my best friends has this joke that he likes to tell about House MD. He says that you could replace all the dialogue in every episode with “unorthodox practices, unorthodox practices *sarcasm break*, unorthodox practices” and never notice the difference.

Nico Archambault and Natalli Reznik My 2 favourite So You Think You Can Dance Canada contestants. Both beautiful technicians with spunk, drive and lots of fire and heart. Nico I’ve loved since his very first audition. Natalli, on the other hand, was the surprise of the season for me. She was originally my least favourite […]

Not only is she a better dancer than […]

I don’t think I have loved an episode of Ugly Bettyas much as I loved this one in a VERY long time. Not only was Betty’s storyline engaging, Daniel had multiple lovely good guy moments, Christina and Amanda both made amusing appearances, Wilhelmina’s storyline was a very humanizing one and the episode was very Marc […]
In stark contrast to this week’s other Shondaland offering, Grey’s Anatomymade me very very happy this week. It, of course, had some serious problems: the extreme idiocy of the interns, Izzy going crazy for no reason when she’s been perfectly sane for years now, every that has anything to do with Denny, Lexi or Sadie.
