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

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

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.
