Mea Culpa, Etc.

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 [...]

2009 Eurovision Liveblog

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 [...]

Playing With The Dollhouse

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 [...]

TV, TV: Where Did Our Love Go?

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 [...]

Tidbits for Monday

Good news for Dexter fans, it’s been renewed for two more years, continuing Showtime’s dominance over HBO in the original series category. Who would have ever guessed that a show about a serial killer would last five seasons? Speaking of HBO, they’ve picked up Curb Your Enthusiasm for yet another season. Fans of dry, ironic comedy [...]

Road Tripping With The BBC

I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but there’s this thing going on in America at the moment called a Presidential Election. It’s kind of a big deal, apparently. And in recognition of that fact, the BBC has busted out its big guns and sent two of its finest small-screen stars across the pond, to report [...]

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 [...]

5 Great Film Actors That We Met On TV

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 [...]

No Sign of Intelligent Life on Mars

Usually, I feel it’s not really fair to judge an entire series on its pilot episode. Premiere or pilot episodes are often a bit clunky; the actors haven’t settled into their roles yet, the sets have a tendency to look cheap and unfinished (because they often are), and the entire thing is really just a [...]
