A Diehard’s Perspective
  Rachael Nisenkier

There was no way I was going to watch tonight’s premier of Joss Whedon’s new show Dollhouse and think anything other than “WEEEE.” If just the name Joss Whedon weren’t enough (which it most certainlyis for me), add in Eliza Dushku (who I think was tremendous and heart wrenching as Faith), Tahmoh Penikket (and those […]

Beloved Everwood alumnus Chris Pratt is now slated to star in Amy Poehler’s new comedy Parks and Recreation. So we’ve now got the best of The Office (Greg Daniels, Executive Producer), the best of SNL (Amy Poehler, Star) and the best of Everwood (Chris Pratt, New Cast Member)- is there any way this show WON’T […]

 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 […]

Why I Love Friday Night Lights
  Kelly Bedard

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 […]

North of the Border. After catching up on a week’s worth of Jon Stewart, I figured I should check out what was going on in my own country. This was a good idea for many reasons: 1 being that as the only Canadian in my group of friends here in Boston I am expected to […]

Salty Celery?
  Kelly Bedard

Salty celery was the downfall of my favourite chef this week on Top Chef. Up against the Hosea the mediocre and Leah, who is not only horribly unpleasant but also can’t seem to cook anything well, Jamie was sent home because her celery over-reduced and was left too salty. Worst decision ever! Padma and Tom […]

Goodbye Charlie, I’ll Always Love You

…even if Megan can’t. This week’s Privileged was, despite being a wonderful episode, really really sad. This marked Michael Cassidy’s last episode as the sweetest man alive, Megan’s best friend Charlie.Before he left to go to school in California, Charlie finally confessed his love to Megan, and she promptly broke his heart. And while I […]

Barrell Full of “Meh”
  Rachael Nisenkier

Each week, my two most hotly anticipated shows vary. But this week, after two weeks off, they were 100% Gossip Girl and How I Met Your Mother.   Both of which had pretty “meh” episodes, with sprinklings of the brilliance we normally see.   Gossip Girl this week told us the tale of Blair’s seemingly-apocalyptic […]
