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.

(November 11, 2009)

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

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

V TV Premiere Review by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 05, 2009)
Pilot episodes of any series these days are generally shaky, probably because when a network finally decides to do something ,they tend to rush it. That wasn’t the case with Dollhouse. That show was rebooted before it ever aired. V, on the other hand, ha

Heroes: Once Upon a Time in Texas by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 03, 2009)
This week Heroes harkens back to the early days of the series, and dredges up what was most irritating about those days. There’s so much about this episode that either doesn’t make sense or is just a waste of time that it’s hard to mention it all. Hi

Dexter: If I Had a Hammer by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(November 02, 2009)
The core of this series is and has always been Dexter Morgan’s internal struggle. Throughout each episode, the narrative is always pushed forward by Dexter’s internal commentary. His internal dynamic isn’t just at the core of the show this week, it�

Sanctuary: Hero Review by Rob Vaux, Critic
(November 01, 2009)
Before we begin, a quick question: does anyone know why Sanctuary insists on painting its cast members orange? I've never seen more garish make-up and while I know it's Halloween, those pumpkin faces are really starting to creep me out.

Stargate Universe: Water Review by Rob Vaux, Critic
(November 01, 2009)
The upswing in quality for Stargate Universe was fun while it lasted. This week, it's back to business as usual: a contrived threat prompting lifeless trudging across a dead planet while various crew members fling various jars of bile at each other.
