The Good was Better Than the Bad was Horrible. - Grade: B
FlashForward: Black Swan Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(October 17, 2009)
FlashForward clearly thrives when it sticks to its central thesis. The soap opera theatrics and traditional plot complications quickly grow dull, but once we shift to those future visions and their implications in the present, the entire affair gets a shot
Fringe: Dream Logic Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(October 16, 2009)
It has been mentioned here before that Olivia’s rehab situation isn’t new or innovative but in this episode, as in previous ones, it’s still quite riveting. This week, Olivia has to admit that her life is a mess. She be-lieved that she had finished h
Supernatural: I Believe the Children are Our Future Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(October 16, 2009)
Creepy kids can be awesome villains in horror stories. Some good examples of creepy kids as villains are of course the gold standard Damien, you know, the son of Satan, and there’s The Good Son, and any number of creepy Asian kids with long black hair a
Heroes: Hysterical Blindness Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(October 13, 2009)
At the end of last week’s episode and the beginning of this one, Sylar digs himself out of the grave he had been placed in after being shot by an assassin. The scene was posed in a very familiar way. One shot of it in particular was very reminiscent of t

Toyman returns to get his revenge on Green Arrow in the "Echo" episode of SMALLVILLE.
Dexter: Blinded by the Light Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(October 12, 2009)
This is an odd episode for Dexter. At one point, it just feels like nothing happened yet a woman died, the second victim of the Trinity killer. It’s not like it was a bad episode because it wasn’t. The reality is that this episode represents a differen
Stargate Universe: Air Part 3 Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(October 11, 2009)
If Stargate Universe thinks it can get by on endless wandering through barren planets and pseudomystical vision quests, it has another thing coming.
Sanctuary: End of Nights Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(October 11, 2009)
And so we come to Sanctuary, the little webisode that could which now enters its second season on Syfy. The opener doesn't leave much room for newbies to catch up, and having watched just a few episodes here and there during the first season, I confess I w
TV Wasteland: Cthulhurendous
by Rob Vaux, Columnist
(October 11, 2009)
Every time another H.P. Lovecraft adaptation is released, the collective fanbase suppresses a groan. The renowned horror author may have changed the face of the genre, but his work always struggled to assert itself onscreen.
Dollhouse: Belle Chose Review
by Kurt Anthony Krug, Critic
(October 11, 2009)
At last, Dollhouse redeems itself from last week’s lackluster episode with “Belle Chose,” penned by Tim Minear, who wrote some of the best episodes of Angel, another Joss Whedon show. This is head and shoulders better than last week’s “Instinct.
SMALLVILLE - 9.3 - "Rabid" Review

Disappointed about sums it up. Grade: C-
FlashForward: 137 Sekunden Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(October 09, 2009)
FlashForward takes another step backward, resorting to the old Hannibal Lecter routine as an excuse to play out an entire episode without really answering anything. A desiccated Nazi named Schultz (Guido Foehrweisser) claims to have inside knowledge about
Fringe: Momentum Deferred Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(October 09, 2009)
Sometimes you get what you think you want but it doesn’t end up being as satisfying as you might have hoped. One of the most anticipated events of the season is easily the inevitable return of Olivia’s memory of her conversation with William Bell.
Supernatural: Fallen Idol Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(October 09, 2009)
So this week’s episode of Supernatural is a “story of the week” sort of episode. Nothing in this installment is relevant to the bigger story that has been the focus of the season up to this point. No Cass, no Zachariah, and no Lucifer in this episode
OMAC Attacks BATMAN: BRAVE AND THE BOLD
by Rob M. Worley, Editor
(October 09, 2009)
The all-American fighting machine OMAC is pitted against the equally destructive Shrapnel in a chaotic fight to the finish, but the architect behind the battle is the mysterious, balance-obsessed villain "Libra"

Primeval Volume Two DVD Review
by Tim Janson, Critic
(October 08, 2009)
There’s good news and bad news for fans of the BBC Sci-fi show Primeval. The bad news is that the show was canceled after the third season or third series as its known more commonly. The good news is that in late September a deal was struck between the
Heroes: Acceptance Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(October 06, 2009)
In the scheme of things, this episode is a quiet one. There are a few intense moments but overall the episode is a melancholy and sort of subtle episode. Each of the heroes focused on this week has to accept who they are, or who they’ve become.
FANTASY ISLAND Goes Reality?
by Jarrod Sarafin, Editor
(October 06, 2009)
We don't usually cover reality TV-based news but we thought you guys should see this one. It seems that networks and mega-reality producers are now taking on some genre classics and adapting them into that format. Variety reports that Sony Pictures TV and
Dexter: Remains to Be Seen Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(October 05, 2009)
Living the Dream nearly did Dexter in last week in a couple of ways. He could have died in the car crash at the end of the episode or the dead man he was going to dispose of could be discovering doing him in by lethal injection. Between work, his family, a
TV Wasteland: Sanctuary Returns
by Rob Vaux, Columnist
(October 05, 2009)
A show like Sanctuary isn't supposed to linger. It started out on the web--part of an effort to make Internet content commercially viable, which the established networks tend to ignore as a matter of course. Granted, it had the backing of the Stargate crew
