Strange Things I’ve discovered thanks to ABC Family and Kevin Smith

Not being much of a fan of porn myself, but being a huge fan of Kevin Smith movies, I would have never known who Tracy Lords was if it weren’t for a certain bubble popping incident in the Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks comedy Zach and Miri Make a Porno. Which means, I would have […]

For those of us who love all things Chuck-y, this was a pretty up and down episode. The plot went like this: hottie-accented-spy-guy from last week escapes (conveniently) from Fulcrum to come and make googoo eyes at Sarah while Chuck clings weakly to his self-respect, and ineptly saves Sarah and Casey from gun point, before […]

The Terminator Decoupling

This week’s Big Bang Theory was a consistent half hour of geeky giggles. The icing on the proverbial cake? A guest starring role by none-other than River Tam/she-terminator Summer Glau.   The plot forced the four geeks (and Summer Glau, as herself) onto a train for eleven hours, because Sheldon likes the clickety clack of […]

I want to eat your brain but only if it’s organic and grassfed

Last week, inspired by the sort of nostalgia that leads Ted to tell the story to his kids in the first place, I was all sorts of easy on How I Met Your Mother. I enjoyed it the same way you enjoy seeing old friends after a long time apart.   This week, with “Sorry, […]

Along with the second episode, “Grey Hour” felt like a well-conceived and well-executed mission-of-the-week. The plot was this: Echo was sent out as “Taffy,” a […]

Sometimes I think my opinions of Battlestar Galactic episodes are as schizophrenic as Starbuck on her mission to Earth. For example, last week I complained that it focused on Starbuck’s very messed up psyche at the expense of action scenes and big reveals. This week’s episode was practically devoid of shooting and Last-Cylon–esque reveals, but […]

A Betty Pet Peeve
  Kelly Bedard

Why do the Ugly Bettywriters keep sending her hot and wonderful men who are madly in love with her? Betty should have ended up with Walter (the annoying boyfriend from the series’ beginning). All these wonderful men (Henry, Gio, Matt) are supposedly falling in love with Betty’s inner beauty. But putting all looks aside, Betty […]

Phil’s Got Kath Babe… and Kim
  Kelly Bedard

Tonight’s Kath & Kim bachelor and bachelorette parties were a mixed bag of the ridiculous (the women get high on tea and spend hours in a pet store, missing their Cher concert), the hilarious (Tina “gets self confidence”) and the somewhat sweet (Phil fights for Kath after getting a breakup voicemail from his high fiancee).
