This is a new thing I’ll be doing over at Film.com: offering a snarky rundown of the highlights of every episode of Heroes. This week’s is here. Commenting at Film.com is now open, but you can only post one comment per thread. So if you really wanna discuss this episode, feel free to do so … more…
It’s funny, but as much as I really like ‘Torchwood,’ rewatching it is not quite as much fun as rewatching ‘Doctor Who.’ I never get tired of ‘Doctor Who,’ and I constantly find new stuff to hash over in those episodes — these, not so much. They’re fun, and I’m certainly not saying that I dislike the show, but it’s not as rich in material as ‘Who’ is.
With this episode, for the first time, I compared the British broadcast with the version that aired on Sci Fi, and I’m furious! Sci Fi cut out some really vital stuff, vital to plot and theme and character and color.
Ready for more Star Wars? It’s a pretty sure bet that audiences are. And we know George Lucas is always up for more. He’s got big plans for Fall 2008, which he hopes will see the debut of a new CGI-animated series The Clone Wars. This is not to be confused with the minitoon of … more…
See, this is what happens when you treat the tea boy like, well, he’s the tea boy. On the other hand, when your girlfriend gets mutated into a sexy-metal-bikini-wearing alien cyborg, sometimes you just have to let her go.
“The Master is Prime Minister of Great Britain… the Master and his wife?” Lucy is such a wonderful conundrum. She clearly knows her husband is up to a whole bunch of No Good, and is cool with that, but does she know the real deal with him? Does she know he’s an alien? Or does she lie in bed with him at night and wonder about that strange echo in his heartbeat?
There’s a lot of genre stuff on TV this fall, and what would genre TV be without a gloomy, angst-ridden vampire private detective? We don’t have to ponder that this season, because there’s Moonlight, debuting tomorrow night on CBS at 9pm Eastern. It woulda been pretty darn funny if this was like Moonlighting with bloodsuckers … more…
Last week I wrote about NBC’s new Monday night lineup, and why — apart from the returning Heroes — I wasn’t too thrilled with it. NBC’s got a new Wednesday night, too, debuting tomorrow, and it’s got a whole lot more to be excited about. After the returning game show Deal or No Deal at … more…
Is it just me, or was there maybe too much stuff jammed into the Season 2 debut of Heroes (kinda like there’s way too much stuff jammed onto NBC’s official Heroes Web site)? I feel a little dizzy, and a wee bit like I’m afraid there’s gonna be a lot of cheating going on with … more…
I’m nearly done watching all of the first season of ‘Torchwood’ — just one more episode to go — and when I look back at this episode, it feels to me like the show is still treading water here while it tries to figure out what it’s got on its hands. Compared to what’s to come later in the season, this is nothin’.
