Cultural Checkup: Suits and White Collar August 12th, 2011 Although I’ve stopped watching Burn Notice, and ceased my bizarre commitment to the dull Royal Pains this summer, and didn’t bother with Covert Affairs’ second season, and didn’t even bother with … Continue reading

Fringe – “Lysergic Acid Diethylamide”

Season Premiere: White Collar – “Withdrawal”
“Withdrawal” July 13th, 2010 I would posit that it is impossible to truly suffer from White Collar withdrawal – while I will not begrudge those who love the series more than I, I don’t think that the show is substantial … Continue reading

Fringe – “The Man from the Other Side”
“The Man from the Other Side” April 22nd, 2010 In a perfect world, I wouldn’t have been caught up in thesis edits last week, as I thought “White Tulip” was such a pitch-perfect installment of Fringe that it deserved some … Continue reading
