i want to join fringe division

I bought the Fringe Season 1 DVDs the day they came out and I’ve been rewatching them. I’d hoped to rewatch the season finale before Season 2 premiered Thursday, but I didn’t get a chance, what with moving and unpacking and organizing and normal daily routines.
Still it has been awesome to see clues early on [...]

best of 2008-09

Everyone’s putting out their “best of” awards — Kristin Dos Santos is accepting votes for her annual Tater Tops event, Michael Ausiello has released his Dream Emmy ballot, etc.
I don’t watch nearly as much TV as they do (oh, that I would be paid to watch TV, too), so I can’t formulate anything approaching objectivity. [...]

farewell, oceanic 815

Anyone who knows me or has perused this blog knows how ginormous of a Lost fan I was, and how much I love creators J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, and Carlton Cuse. Over the first four seasons, it was consistently, in my opinion, the best show on television.
I’m quite certain that has not changed.
But my interest [...]

2009 fall tv schedule

So here we go: all times CST; * denotes new show; red highlights guaranteed Season Passes; green indicates those shows almost certain to gain SP status; purple indicates those shows on a trial basis; Idol gets its own color because I only watch the last quarter of it each season.
(As I’ve mentioned in earlier schedule-related [...]

upfronts: fox

A roundup: FOX is bringing back So You Think You Can Dance this fall instead of waiting for Summer 2010. It’s also renewed American Idol (shocker) and the majority of its edgy dramas, including House, Fringe, 24, Lie to Me, Bones, and, to my surprise and delight, Joss Whedon’s ratings-challenged (but awesome) Dollhouse.
For all my [...]

there’s more than one of everything

“Every day, life presents us with an array of choices. Each choice we take creates a new reality. It’s another path — the road not taken.” — Walter Bishop
I know I’m running the risk of sounding like a broken record, but I can’t help it — I frakking love J.J. Abrams. Okay, so technically, Fringe’s [...]

so long, sarah connor

I can’t say I’m surprised that FOX has unofficially officially handed Sarah Connor her walking papers. Word from the network PTB is that we won’t know anything “for sure” until May 18, but well, everyone who’s anyone has already said the “c” word. Numerous times.
This time, though, I can’t blame FOX. By all accounts and [...]

winter premieres

I love Kristin Dos Santos over at E!. I was just thinking I should probably start digging all of this info up, and she goes and does it for me…maybe I should send her a fruit basket.
I can’t remember what my former distinction colors were, so this time around, red will indicate shows that have [...]

it’s firefly all over again

Just when I thought FOX had turned over a new leaf, we get the news that instead of pairing the much-anticipated Joss Whedon/Eliza Dushku sci-fi thriller Dollhouse with the return of 24 on Monday nights, they’re sticking it on — wait for it — FRIDAYS. Otherwise known as the time slot of death.
And worse?
They’re sticking [...]

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, [...]
