Lost – “The Variable”

“The Variable”
April 29th, 2009
I will admit right now that I feel sort of like a low rent Daniel Faraday right now, my attempts to put myself on a different sleep schedule in a way not that different from Daniel’s attempt to realign himself with another time. This means that while I had planned on writing [...]

Chuck vs. The Twist vs. Season 3 Renewal

Chuck vs. the Twist vs. Season 3 Renewal
April 28th, 2009
Perhaps it is just that I wrote considerably less about last night’s Chuck finale than Alan Sepinwall, or perhaps it is just that there has been some extremely stimulating discussion over at NeoGAF that has had me pondering the finale more carefully, but I think that [...]

Season Finale: Chuck – “Chuck vs. the Ring”

“Chuck vs. the Ring”
April 27th, 2009
“Go with your heart, buddy – our brains only screw things up.”
Wow.
In considering “Chuck vs. the Ring,” a title with two very different meanings, I think it’s important that we acknowledge just how amazing the accomplishment of the Chuck staff is when it comes to pulling off some of the [...]

The Amazing Race Season 14 – “Episode 10 (China)”

“Having a Baby’s Got to Be Easier Than This”
April 26th, 2009
One of my favourite travel stories from my trip to California was that, when I was waiting for a late flight from Toronto to Halifax, I sat down in the departures area to watch the previous night’s episode of The Amazing Race. Now, admittedly, I [...]

Save Chuck: A Movement with a Message

Save Chuck: A Movement with a Message
April 25th, 2009
As some of you may know, I found myself caught up in the whirlwind that was the Save Jericho campaign, where fans went nuts and sent nuts, bringing their canceled show back from the dead. Since that show’s success, there have been numerous campaigns to save other [...]

30 Rock – “The Ones”

“The Ones”
April 26th, 2009
While its Thursday night comedy counterpart The Office has been delving into a long-term storyline over my hiatus, which has made not blogging about it a little bit more problematic, 30 Rock has been in a very different sort of place. This isn’t to say that the show isn’t achieving its goals: [...]

Parks and Recreation – “The Reporter” and Other Thoughts

“The Reporter”
April 26th, 2009
One of the downfalls of my trip to California was that I was away during the period where a number of solid debuts took place: Southland seems like a potential keeper for NBC, The Unusuals is still technically in the mix for ABC, and the long-anticipated Parks and Recreation debuted. So while [...]

Lost – “Some Like it Hoth”

“Some Like it Hoth”
April 15th, 2009
There are many things that make “Some Like it Hoth” seem almost nostalgic. First off, it’s perhaps the most simple flashback episode we’ve seen since the second season. And second, said flashbacks felt like they should have come as part of the fourth season, considering that Miles was first introduced [...]

PaleyFest 09: Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
