Heroes - “Dying of the Light”

I almost didn’t bother with this post.  As you can see, it’s a week overdue, and it’s going to be really short.  Heroes, unfortunately, is continuing to disappoint me, and I’ve found myself with less and less interest in watching it.  Last week, for the very first time, it actually bored me, and I worked […]

Let the Healing Begin

Over on Twitter, Douglas gave me a heads up to an excellent article at MSNtv entitled How to Heal ‘Heroes.’  It goes through ten of the biggest problems the show has been handing us, and gives concrete, constructive advice on how to resolve them.

Heroes - “Angels and Monsters”

My disappointment with Heroes continues to grow, unfortunately.  So much so that I really just didn’t feel like writing anything up last night after watching it.  Instead, I checked out Christian Slater’s new show, My Own Worst Enemy, which actually held my attention better, at least in its first episode.
Let’s get right to it and […]

One Man Can No Longer Make A Difference

A few weeks back, the iTunes Music Store offered me a free download of an episode of the rebooted Knight Rider series.  I was suitably leery; remaking one of my childhood favorites rarely, if ever, ends well.  But I figured for free, and in high definition to boot, I could afford to give it a […]

Heroes - “I Am Become Death”

Better late than never, right?  I was once again beyond exhausted last night and didn’t get around to writing up.  Part of it, I have to admit, is I’m not as excited about Heroes as I have been in the past.  It’s still better than most of what passes for television these days, to be […]

Heroes - “One of Us, One of Them”

I’m late in getting this one out.  By the time last night’s Heroes wrapped up, my allergy medicine had me so sleepy it was all I could do to make it to the bedroom before I fell asleep.  But better late than never!
“One of Us, One of Them” wasn’t one of the more action-packed, edge […]

Heroes - “The Second Coming” and “The Butterfly Effect”

Finally, after all these months, the new season of Heroes, entitled “Villains,” has begun.
As expected, they got off with a bang, and picked up pretty much where the last season left off.  I will admit, I watched the two-part premier with a bit of trepidation and probably more of a critical eye than I have […]

What Else Am I Missing?

I don’t watch a huge amount of television ordinarily.  I have a few shows I do follow pretty religiously, as readers of this site must know by now, but those are the exception rather than the rule.  Consequently, sometimes pretty good television shows fly totally under my radar.  I never saw Firefly, for instance, until […]

So Say We All

The fine folks over at MINE have pointed us at the only real choice for the 2008 election: Saul Tigh and Laura Roslin.

Lost - “There’s No Place Like Home Parts 2 & 3″

Lost It’s going to be a very, very long summer.
As expected, Lost did a great job of wrapping up a bunch of questions (although not all of those I wanted to see answered before they ended the season) while dumping a bunch of new ones on us. Some of it was pretty close to […]
