True Blood
Strange Love (Pilot)
I was excited for a new Alan Ball show, though it felt more like the first half of a pilot: They introduced the setting and characters, began to tell a story… and then it ended. Still, it’s a very interesting universe it takes place in.
The show hasn’t really grabbed Laura or I [...]

how embarrassing.

Cally died on last week’s Battlestar Galactica. Laura’s always hated Cally because apparently the actress isn’t very good at acting. I figure I’m either too into the story to notice or I’m too used to tolerating bad acting in order to enjoy science fiction. Anyway, Laura wasn’t too pleased that the latest episode was so [...]

Battlestar Galactica
He That Believeth in Me
Wow. The show had a lot to live up to after the ending of the third season but I’d say they did an excellent job of opening up the fourth.
I love the progression Baltar’s going through. Is Head-Six God? If you were God, how would you get Baltar to listen [...]

The Celebrity Apprentice
Finale: Trace vs. Piers
This whole season, the Celebrity Apprentice has built up Trace Adkins as this really nice, honourable guy and Piers Morgan to be this cold, cutthroat guy who gets the job done. So having these two very different men in the finale was pretty cool.
There was one thing that frustrated Laura [...]

Lost
4×06 – The Other Woman
It’s creepy to see Ben lose control of his emotions. He’s such a driven, scary man. He really is into Julia, which is unfortunate. Damn those women.

<fanboy rant>
You know what’s really fun? Going back to rewatch earlier seasons of Lost once you have some idea of what’s going on. I understand [...]

Interesting, it’s still tough to listen to Sia’s song Breath Me without thinking about the ending of Six Feet Under and then getting choked up. Of course, then I also start thinking about the last half of the final season and really want to rewatch the whole show again. Damn that was a good series. [...]

While I’m glad that the writer’s strike is over, I’m still in a bad place because of it. With nothing else to watch on TV, Laura and I found ourselves eating dinner and watching Gene Simmons and his wife have plastic surgery, and then undergoing a rough recovery. Ick.

Though to be honest, the Gene Simmons [...]

After spending two and a half hours waiting for a simple oil change this afternoon for which we had an appointment, our brains fried, Laura and I found ourselves watching the Miss America Live show this evening.
Now, Laura’s a big fan of reality shows. The trashier, the better so we’ve been loosely following the Miss [...]

Nip/Tuck
5×10 – Magda and Jeff
Gina’s always been a fun character but also a little bit crazy. Between her being crazy and her being a sex addict, Christian really could never tear himself away from her. That last scene, with her whispering to him as he thrusted her over the ledge of the building during sex? [...]
