smörgåsbord

I used to post practically everyday or at least every other day about pop culture stuff. Now I have to force myself to sit down and regurgitate about 10 days’ worth of TV tidbits and reviews and general gushing.
Here we go:
Chuck: Oh, how I missed Chuck. With the exception of some of the Lester/Jeff/Anna/Morgan stuff, [...]

matt says it better than me

As always.
I was going to post about the much-anticiptated returns of Chuck and Life (but mostly Chuck), only to find that they are the subjects of his latest Roush Dispatch.
Oh my goodness, I am so looking forward to Chuck tonight. I know that I could’ve seen it already on iTunes for free, but there’s just [...]

well, this is long

I wanted to put up a new post but as today has been a wonderfully lazy day — which I really needed — I didn’t want to actually turn my brain on.

What they weren’t talking about, of course, is that 9 million might [...]

rocked my face off

I will further dissect tonight’s two-hour Fringe pilot when I’m not about to fall asleep, but I loved it.
Best I can figure — and not that it needs any sort of comparisons assigned it — it’s like a mix of the freakishly cool, non-alien early episodes of The X-Files with a little bit of Alias [...]

thoughts so far…

I’ve only tuned into a few of the premieres that have already hit and thought I’d get my thoughts down in some sort of cohesive manner in advance of the premieres that have me really excited — tomorrow night’s The Sarah Connor Chronicles and more than that, Tuesday’s two-hour Fringe unveiling.
Prison Break: I didn’t watch [...]

pride vs. punishment

The mainstream media has been foaming at the mouth since vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family announced that her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant.
Once again, Sarah Palin put her money where her mouth is, so to speak. She states she is pro-life, but for her, it’s not merely lip service. She [...]
