Chuck: Chuck Vs the Mask Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(February 09, 2010)
You know, if there’s one thing that this show really needed it’s another love triangle. Sure, Sarah and Chuck have decided that they can’t be together for whatever reason and Chuck should get to move on to other opportunities but this means the show
5 Ways the Mini-Series Can Save TV
by Stephen Lackey, Writer
(February 09, 2010)
How many television series have you watched that started off great but inevitably just rand to long for their own good? One near classic example is The X-Files. What if this series had just been a tight concise miniseries rather than eight seasons long? An
TV Wasteland: Wherefore Heroes?
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(February 08, 2010)
The season four finale of Heroes has crept up on us like a thief in the night, its further decline in the ratings masked by NBC's larger, smellier and exponentially more embarrassing problems. The question is not how tonight's episode will end but whether
Caprica: Reins of a Waterfall Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(February 08, 2010)
Series guru Ronald D. Moore takes the helm this week in a developmental episode intended more to get us from Point A to Point B than repeat last week's feat of blowing our minds. It focuses primarily on the growing schism between Joseph Adama (Esai Morales
Spartacus: Legends Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(February 08, 2010)
I'm not sure whether to applaud Spartacus's earnest attempts to tell a story this week or run shrieking from the abject failure which results.

by Kurt Krug, Writer
(February 08, 2010)
Due to the overwhelming response from the January 14 list of TV shows that were cancelled before their time, we’re cranking out another list. There’s some shows that readers mentioned, there’s some that they didn’t, and there’s some that are very

Supernatural: The Song Remains the Same Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(February 05, 2010)
I know the writers are trying to fill time and build suspense until the end of the season, but they need to learn from Star Trek what too much time travel can do to your franchise. Yes, the new Star Trek film was pretty great but what do you think will hap

LOST: LA X 1-2 Review
by Joe Oesterle, Critic
(February 03, 2010)
So let’s get to it, shall we (he said with a mixture of both hesitance and desire.)
We opened last night where we ended last season; Juliet, bloodied and near death hammering the detonator with a nearby rock, and finally setting it off the bomb wit
Heroes: The Wall Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(February 03, 2010)
Don’t mess with Matt Parkman! He seems like a nice guy but if you mess with him, he’ll lock you up in your worst nightmare and then he’ll wall you up in his basement Edgar Allen Poe style. Sure, if anyone deserves it, Sylar does. The problem is that
24: 9:00 – 10:00pm Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(February 02, 2010)
Wow, did Jack do anything at all in this hour? This answer is that he didn’t do very much. He does get set to do more in the next hour though. That scene is a cool one but Jack spends most of the hour grumbling into his communicator from the car. Hours o
Chuck: Chuck Vs the Nacho Sampler Review
by Stephen Lackey, Critic
(February 02, 2010)
This week’s episode of Chuck features some humorous situations but it’s more about the evolution of Chuck from naïve slacker to hardened secret agent. Chuck has to acquire and exploit an asset in this episode and it turns out the asset is a near mirro

Caprica: Rebirth Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(January 31, 2010)
We're only two episodes in and already, Caprica has blown our socks off with as much commitment as its predecessor.
Spartacus: Sacramentum Gladiatorum Review
by Rob Vaux, Critic
(January 31, 2010)
I have officially stopped taking this show seriously. It's the only way to survive. Granted, we've been spared the agonizing wait to see if Lucy Lawless will ever go topless. Five minutes into tonight's episode, she and John Hannah take it to the house aft
TV Wasteland: H-Bombs and Halftime Shows
by Rob Vaux, Columnist
(January 31, 2010)
Super Bowl Sunday marks the undisputed TV highlight for most viewers this week. Genre fans, however, have their eyes fixed on another date: February 2nd, when the final season of Lost kicks off with a two-hour premiere. The producers have been notoriously

by Kurt Anthony Krug, Critic
(January 30, 2010)
After being pre-empted last week in lieu of the Haiti fund-raising special, the final episode of Dollhouse finally gets aired.
If you didn’t watch “Epitaph One” from the first season DVD set, you were in the dark about a few things, especially sin
Supernatural: Swap Meat Review
by Kent Ninomiya, Critic
(January 29, 2010)
You can imagine the pitch meeting for this script. It must have been something like “Poltergeist meets Some Kind of Wonderful meets Freaky Friday.” No show squashes together genres like Supernatural, and no one makes it so damn hilarious. “Swap Meat
