(ETA: And again, Matt Roush basically said what I did — but did it SOOO much better. Read his account HERE.)
…well, not so much on me because I’ve never had a problem with Paolo and Nikki. If I were Damon and Carlton, after tonight’s episode I might be inclined to sit back and laugh rather [...]

the joke’s on us

pick a title, any title (i’m out)
I have found that there is a kind of bittersweet dilemma when picking up a new TV series for the first time, especially when it’s already been canceled. It happened to me with Freaks and Geeks, and Arrested Development, and Wanted, all of which I really didn’t discover until after they’d gotten the axe.
It’s happened again [...]

gone but not forgotten
Over the past few days, I’ve been reminded of what it was like to struggle with the hell that is dial-up. I found a torrent for all 13 episodes of Tim Minear’s The Inside, including the six that never aired here, and it took almost three days to download. That didn’t slow down everything else that much, [...]

hijacking the ‘fan girl’ definition
According to Wikipedia, a fangirl is defined as a member of a particular fandom (usually television-related) who is “less interested in debates on canon and more interested in (often romantic) relationships between fictional characters…”
If that’s truly the case, then I am definitely *not* a fangirl, and I generally abhor fangirls. You know the type: they [...]

because i’m in a wheelchair — and you aren’t
So let me get this out of the way: I understand why John decided so intelligently to blow up the submarine. I understand that his father seriously frakked him up, first by using him just to get the kidney (serious), killing the kid who could’ve exposed him as a con artist, and on John’s information (slightly [...]

happy birthday, buffy
With Veronica’s cancellation all but assured, I’m feeling a little reminiscent. And I also can’t sleep. So I hope you’ll permit me to wax nostalgic on the first TV show that ever really impacted me. It seems somewhat appropriate, given that Buffy the Vampire Slayer made its mid-season debut on the WB ten years ago [...]

veronica mars was smarter than all of us
For the last few weeks, ever since the rather disappointing conclusion to Veronica Mars‘ Who killed Dean O’Dell mystery arc, I’ve been anticipating the news of its cancellation with a sort of sinking acceptance and resignation.
I really don’t think that network of Crack Whores (an old joke, but come on, the CW programming department can’t not be [...]

give them nothing — but take from them everything
I saw my first movie (in the theaters) of 2007 today, and boy did I ever pick a phenomenal one to usher in the new season of what I hope is way more promising than 2006.
300.
Holy frak.
I told (Fish) I’d try and mix in some more movie reviews here, but I’m still a little bit [...]
