I always knew that Stephanie Meyer, author of the inexplicably popular Twilight series, was a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and that in crafting her quadrilogy, the knowledge of Buffy-lore was seeping into her writing, but it’s easy to forget this when dealing with a mythology that turns vampires into puppy dogs. And then […]

As a growing-more-and-more-devoted-by-the-week fan of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, I read almost religiously the ratings week after week. And they are, frankly, depressing. I still think it’s entirely FOX’s own fault, for over-interfering in the show and for putting it on a bad night and for thinking that photos of Eliza Dushku naked were “clever” marketing, […]
Wow. Just when, a few episodes ago, I was ready to write off this season of Bones as missing the pop and verve of previous seasons, the past few episodes have been amazing. I’ll admit it, though, as my one caveat, that I am true and through a sucker for Booth and Brennan stuff (when […]
Man, I picked a fine time to go on a mini-Chuck hiatus. The past three episodes have been the best of the series’ entire run. They’ve been game-changing awesomeness with more than enough goofy character stuff to satisfy all types of fans. More than that, they really concentrated on Chuck and his tenuous relationship with […]

The show isn’t afraid to say goodbye to beloved characters but isn’t making us part with all of them just yet either. And, never a show to be stuck in a rut, even coach […]
There’s lots to be excited about this week, so I’m getting a jump on “Obsessions” (as well as making up for almost never writing this feature, when it’s supposed to be weekly). MY BOYS: last week’s episode had me in stitches. I couldn’t be happier that it’s back. BETTER OFF TED: still loving it. THE […]
Normally, I don’t read any other reviews before I start reviewing an episode of Dollhouse. When I go deep into metaphor and character analysis, I want the ideas to be my own. Unfortunately, my tired brain brought me to the AVClub.com’s excellent review, and in my weakened state I read that before I could formulate […]
This week was the first week where Castle‘s episode was fun enough to justify my watching it. Before this, Nathan Fillion’s considerable charisma and my never ending support of the former Captain Malcolm Reynolds pulled me back. This week followed Becket and Castle as they tried to solve a five year old murder of a […]
