The conceit of a spin-off is that the new show and its predecessor exist within the same reality. For Private Practice, this means that the woman who, in our reality, is Kate Walsh is actually Addison Montgomery within the reality of Grey’s Anatomy and all its descendants. She is Addison Montgomery whether she is in […]
This weekend I sat down to watch the (awesome) movie Star Trek for the third time (yes, yes, I’m a dork. Let’s move on). And, not for the first time, I marveled at the epic awesomeness that is JJ Abrams blockbuster success. A large portion of that success has to do with its two leads […]
– Ryan Reynolds – Big Loveseason 3 (with special love for Amanda Seyfried and Chloe Sevigny) – Neurotic Reid, puppy dog Michael and magnetic Kiptyn on The Bachelorette – Blue Jays shortstop and leadoff batter Marco Scutaro – So You Think You Can Dance’s Kupono, Jason, Caitlin, Jeanine, Phillip and Evan – Gabby and Tom’s […]

The girl is a serious talent and she’s here to stay. Dubbed Disney- the mad editing skills of “Fantachan” make the Random Disney Crap YouTube […]
Why Can’t Anyone on The Amazing Race Swim? This week they had to endure a foot massage and then swim a 400m relay in a clean, standard length pool- explain to me why this is so hard!
I am a serious fan of genre fiction. I say this to distinguish myself from people who like Lost despite the science fiction or enjoy Buffy while despising horror. It’s not a value judgment; it’s a question of taste. For me, stories that come from a deep internal mythology speak more heartily and more truly […]
