This week’s episode of Dollhouse, “Haunted,” went back to the beginning formula, with a self-contained monster of the week that felt a little as though it were holding off for bigger episodes. But unlike the first couple of episodes, this week’s monster of the week was actually pretty damn thought provoking. Margaret, a very rich […]
After four episodes of Bones in two weeks, I think I can forgive the show that this past one felt a little… empty. It’s not that it was a bad episode, it didn’t have me cringing or wanting to write angry emails to Hart Hanson, it was just lacking either the goofy or profound heights […]
Last week, when I realized a day late that Bones had an extra episode on Wednesday as well as our regularly scheduled Thursday, it was like a gift from the television gods. This week, when I discovered, again a day late, that Bones had an extra episode on Monday all I could think was -WHAT?! […]
To say that being a loyal Chuck fan since I downloaded the first episode for free on ITUNES has paid off way bigger than I ever guessed it would is to underexpress to the extreme.

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 […]
