TV Wasteland: Vivacious Visitors Eviscerate Very Viciously by Rob Vaux, Columnist
(November 01, 2009)
The original V occupies a strange place in pop culture, a sort of camp-but-not-really 1980s standout fondly remembered by those who first saw it and all but forgotten by everyone else. It remains a product of its time (right down to the haircuts and jerky

(November 01, 2009)
I think my grade might be too generous - Grade: D

FlashForward: Scary Monsters and Super Creeps Review by Rob Vaux, Critic
(October 30, 2009)
So who the hell were those Asian guys anyway? The latest episode of FlashForward doesn't tell us, but it does forcefully posit the question with another solid and dramatic hour of television. The central thread follows Agent Noh (John Cho) as he pursues a

(October 30, 2009)
Bobbie’s running with Sam and Dean “Oracle” style (a reference for you comic book readers) and he’s not thrilled about it. He’s a hunter always in the middle of the dirty work but now that he’s confined to a wheelchair, he’s dealing with bein

CHUCK Returns Early by Jarrod Sarafin, Editor
(October 30, 2009)

Heroes: Strange Attractors Review by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(October 27, 2009)
This week’s episode of Heroes puts a magnifying lens on an irritating issue with Claire’s story. First of all, her story this week is a little to reminiscent of 90’s era horror films like I Know What You Did Last Summer or some other such nonsense. W

Dexter: Dirty Harry Review by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(October 27, 2009)
Last week’s cliffhanger ending was pretty great but this week, Debra recovers like Wolverine. At the end of last week’s episode, Debra and Lundy gunned down. Debra is gut shot but she’s up and around and even driving a day or two later.

(October 26, 2009)
Oliver Quinn meets his new sidekick as Speedy arrives in SMALLVILLE.

Sanctuary: Eulogy Review by Rob Vaux, Critic
(October 25, 2009)
I understand the need for a light episode to balance out the gloom and doom of the season opener, but "Eulogy" can't properly mix the grim with the gleeful. We're dealing with the fallout of Ashley's (Emilie Ullerup) apparent demise, as Dr. Magnus (Amanda

TV Wasteland: This Is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween! by Rob Vaux, Columnist
(October 25, 2009)
Halloween is here and there's a huge plate of genre programming to cover, so let's get right to it!

SMALLVILLE - 9.5 - "Roulette" Review by Joe Oesterle, Contributing Writer
(October 25, 2009)
This is exactly what I need more of – what this show needs more of. The plot may have been a tad familiar, but the writing was sharp.

BRAVE AND THE BOLD - Music Meister Review by Joe Oesterle, Contributing Writer
(October 25, 2009)
Encore! Encore! Singing superheroes, dancing gorillas, and top tier talent. If Bono and The Edge are reading this review, this much is true; Mayhem of the Music Meister has set the superhero musical bar pretty high for a certain Broadway-bound friendly nei

Stargate Universe: Light Review by Rob Vaux, Critic
(October 25, 2009)
Why hello there, Stargate Universe! Nice of you to join us. Three weeks of limp melodrama and empty ship corridors culminate in something akin to what the series promised all along. The only question is why it didn't show up sooner.

Dollhouse: Belonging Review by Kurt Anthony Krug, Critic
(October 25, 2009)
After being off the air last week, Dollhouse returns with a solid and disturbing episode. While the main character Echo (Eliza Dushku) is in the background again this episode, the spotlight is shined on fellow Doll Sierra (Dichen Lachman), whose origin is

FlashForward: Gimme Some Truth Review by Rob Vaux, Critic
(October 23, 2009)
Finally, FlashForward delivers an episode worthy of its brilliant pilot. Drama, tension, the continued veracity of people's visions and a liberal helping of bare-knuckle politics combine to shift the series into high gear.

6 Japanese Imports That Became Icons In America by Kent Ninomiya, Writer
(October 23, 2009)
America is very good at stealing good entertainment ideas. Whether it’s game shows, singing contests or sitcoms, there is no concept that we won’t rebrand as distinctly American and claim as our own. When it comes to science fiction, no country has bee

Heroes: Tabula Rasa Review by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(October 20, 2009)
There really was never any chance that Hiro would die and deep down we all knew that. It was just wishful thinking on many of our parts. The truth was revealed last week in the previews for this episode where the kid that can heal people was revealed. Clai

SMALLVILLE - 9.5 - "Roulette" - Video by Rob M. Worley, Editor
(October 20, 2009)
Another DCU character arrives in SMALLVILLE as Roulette sets up her fight club...

Dexter: Dex Takes a Holiday Review by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(October 19, 2009)
One man’s idea of a vacation can be very different from another man’s idea. A vacation to one person might be visiting family in another city. Another person’s idea might be to ride roller coasters and eat cotton candy for a weekend.

Stargate Universe: Darkness Review by Rob Vaux, Critic
(October 18, 2009)
It's disheartening to watch an episode which consists solely of set-up for another episode. I understand that cliffhangers and two-parters are part of the television landscape these days, but "Darkness" generates so little momentum on its own that it scarc

Sanctuary: End of Nights Part II Review by Rob Vaux, Critic
(October 18, 2009)
Sanctuary remains a bread-and-butter staple of sci-fi programming: amusing enough to justify tuning in provided you're not a Joss Whedon fan and have nothing better to do with your Friday nights.
