Supernatural: Abandon All Hope Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 20, 2009)
Just in time for the winter break, we get a really solid story arc episode. This final episode of 2009 requires a bit of discussion that will definitely fall into spoiler territory, so read further at your own risk.
Fringe: August Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 20, 2009)
Ok, we’re back to some of the things that make Fringe great, most importantly the mythology of the show. Every time the “Observers” are on screen, I am always reminded of “The Watcher” from Marvel Comics.
The Prisoner: Schizoid/Checkmate Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 18, 2009)
So the miniseries is over and as much as I enjoyed the ride I have to admit I find myself a little underwhelmed with the outcome. I’m also frustrated with some heavy handed story manipulation in the assembly of the multiple parts of the series for no oth
V Review V: A Bright New Day
by Joe Oesterle, Writer
(November 18, 2009)
Still Too Fast
If we learned anything about the V’s this week, it’s that the writers apparently don’t read this article or the subsequent comment boxes. Come on V- guys; slow it down. Give us a little time to settle in to a scene before you give
The Prisoner: Anvil/Darling Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 18, 2009)
As some shows, movies, and miniseries, continued minor complaints either get fixed or often get worse. As enjoyable as The Prisoner has been, the little complaint I had with the first few hours has simply exploded in the second two episodes.
Heroes: Brother's Keeper Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 17, 2009)
It’s amazing that an episode of Heroes can get a good score and feature both Hiro and Mohinder. These are the two most useless characters in the show and they’re both at the center of this episode.
The Prisoner: Arrival/Harmony Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 16, 2009)
I’ve never seen the original Prisoner TV series from the late 60’s, so I don’t have a frame of reference for this new series. That might be a good thing because sometimes bringing old baggage to a remake can destroy the potential success of that rema
The Prisoner: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review
by Robert T. Trate, Critic
(November 16, 2009)
What if James Bond resigned? For reasons only known to him, Bond leaves her majesty’s secret service and walks away from being in her employ. Could a man with that much information be allowed to roam free? If the reasons are known only to him, would he b
Sanctuary: Fragments Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(November 15, 2009)
It's not easy being a werewolf. Mom never calls, your tailoring bill's a disaster, you're always digging bits of kibble out of your teeth, and you occasionally find yourself pining for that special someone who can't help but flee in horror whenever you smi
Stargate Universe: Time Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(November 15, 2009)
As Stargate Universe ranges further abroad--exhausting the list of basic necessities its characters need to survive and pushing for new crises to engage them--things are bound to get a little weird. "Time" embraces the weirdness with all its heart, resulti
SMALLVILLE - 9.8 - "Idol" - Review
by Joe Oesterle, Contributing Writer
(November 15, 2009)
"...it’s hard not to wonder when the cape and tights will make their appearance." - Grade: B
BRAVE AND THE BOLD - "Fate of Equinox" - Review
by Joe Oesterle, Contributing Writer
(November 15, 2009)
These guys happily embrace the goofiness - Grade: B
FlashForward: Playing Cards With Coyote Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(November 13, 2009)
An episode as good as last week's usually requires a more modest follow-up to help us calm down. "Playing Cards With Coyote" relegates itself to assessing the fallout from Agent Gough's suicide, and how that both changes the game and leaves the rules intac
Fringe: Of Human Action Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 13, 2009)
Has anyone else noticed that Walter just isn’t as funny as he once was? These subtle serious moments that have been happening between him and Peter are great but the off the wall comments and actions are missed.
Supernatural: The Real Ghostbusters Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 13, 2009)
For me, two “meta” comedy episodes back to back is a little overkill for such a dark series. The main story is that Sam and Dean are expected to give themselves up as hosts for the devil and an angel as part of a battle that could inevitably mean the e
Heroes: Shadowboxing Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 12, 2009)
Last week’s installment of Heroes was less than stellar. Did you ever hear the old saying “remember when is the lowest form of conversation?” That old saying applies to last week’s installment of the show because the story was a rehash of a story f
V There Is No Normal Anymore Review
by Joe Oesterle, Critic
(November 12, 2009)
If there was a common thread to last week’s complaints about the premiere episode of the re-imagined Sci-Fi cult classic “V,” it was there might have been too much information thrown at the audience in only 42 minutes of programming.
Dexter: Slack Tide Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 10, 2009)
Don’t you just hate it when a game changer is about to happen for a character and the whole thing is completely predictable? That’s unfortunately is how this week’s episode of Dexter ends. Dexter is in a form of desperation mode this week.
Sanctuary: Pavor Nocturnus Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(November 09, 2009)
Ah, the Zombie Apocalypse. Where would sci-fi programming be without it? The broken-down streets, the lurching cannibals, the feverish search for a place of safety… its tropes are so easily applied, generating squeals of fanboy delight with nothing more
Stargate Universe: Earth Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(November 09, 2009)
It probably serves me right, complaining about the communication stones as loudly as I did, only to have one of the season's better episodes hinge almost entirely around them. Stargate Universe takes a break from the Catastrophic Shortage of the Week to in
BRAVE AND THE BOLD - "Inside the Outsiders" - Review
by Joe Oesterle, Contributing Writer
(November 08, 2009)
Even their decent episodes are great - Grade: B
SMALLVILLE - 9.7 - "Kandor" Review
by Joe Oesterle, Contributing Writer
(November 08, 2009)
So why can’t they do this every week? - Grade: A-
FlashForward: The Gift Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(November 07, 2009)
We've all been waiting for this moment, and FlashForward has drawn it out ever since it first premiered. The paradox. The conundrum. The irrefutable proof that someone's vision can't possibly come true because events have moved in a fundamentally different
Fringe: Earthling Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 07, 2009)
Fringe has been dinged by many critic for being too similar to The X-Flies. The truth is that Fringe is similar to the X-Files, Altered States, Night Gallery and a few others and that’s a good pedigree.
Supernatural: Changing Channels Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 07, 2009)
John Ritter (Threes Company) and Pam Dawber (Mork & Mindy) starred in a film in 1992 called Stay Tuned. In that film, the two stars played a husband and wife that are literally sucked into their satellite dish and they are forced through the channels findi
