Marcia started this blog in an attempt to justify her couch potato ways with lengthy and self-indulgent posts about television. Since then, she has further embraced her love of entertainment and is currently working on a masters in Film & Television Studies. She has no idea what she will do with this degree, but it does allow her to sound really clever when discussing the narrative construction of Veronica Mars. She is an American living in Glasgow and is very grateful for the iTunes account that feeds her addiction and saves her from endless episodes of EastEnders or Property Ladder. Marcia likes kittens, sunsets, red wine and peaceful mountain streams.

Right, here’s the deal. I have tried, people. I have tried to keep this blog going, but the simple fact is that I haven’t had the brainpower required to run this site since I stepped into my first class way back in September. Apparently, I have a limited capacity to think and write about film [...]

Yes, I know I’m a wee bit rubbish, making all these promises I can’t keep about posting regularly again, and then…not doing it. Blame my dissertation. You could blame me, I suppose, but since I blame my dissertation for everything, it’s easier to just cut out the middleman. However, consider this my version of standing on [...]

My, but there is a lot to talk about. I suppose that happens when one takes an unplanned six-month hiatus from television blogging. Still, most of the stuff worth talking about seems to have happened in the last few weeks. A surprising number of mid-season shows have appeared, some of which are actually – shocker [...]

I did not mean to go away. I certainly did not mean to disappear for such important events as the conclusion of Battlestar Galactica or Joss Whedon’s return to network television. I am horrified that I was not here to comment on such television moments as Grey’s Anatomy’s ghost sex or the dog that ate [...]

My life has changed quite a bit in the last couple of months. I went from working in a respectable career, earning this remarkable thing called “money”, to being an impoverished student whose primary source of income was the weekly pub quiz. That’s not the only change. Those who follow this blog might have noticed a [...]

Monday’s top picks: There’s something for everyone on Monday night. How I Met Your Mother still makes me laugh every week, which is something I never thought I’d say for a CBS comedy. CBS, 8:30 Chuck also still makes me laugh. So does Heroes, which follows it, though I’m pretty sure Chuck is the only one that’s [...]

If you’ve been rewatching your Firefly box set in order to get your Nathan Fillion fix, Spike.com has got your back. PG Porn is a James Gunn short that features the majestically-armed one as a frisky, acting-impaired carpenter. Definitely worth a view. Still bitter about Deadwood’s cancellation? Then here’s an item for your Christmas list. HBO [...]

Buzz spent some phone time with Lee Pace, whose delightful show you should really all be watching. (BuzzSugar) Daemon’s TV shared an interview with Chris Diamontopoulos from The Starter Wife set visit. (Daemon’s TV) GMMR is not a judgey judge. If Nathan Fillion wants to do porn then I’m going to support his aspirations . Have you [...]

Poor TV. It often gets such a bad rap in comparison to its larger screened cousin, cinema. No matter how much respect TV has earned over the years, and how many wonderful opportunities it provides actors, most TV actors seem to long for movie roles at some point in their careers. Of course, for most [...]
