24 Day 7, Hour 8 – Yes, He Is That Into You

By ElaineB Lesson Learned: Think before you plan the “perfect” murder/suicide Whew! Last week Henry Taylor managed to avoid the noose and kill his aide Brian instead and we all rejoiced that he would not be seen as another Taylor suicide (being this first family is really tough!). This week the forensics specialists managed to finger Brian for the bad guy, noting the syringe of narcotic found at the crime scene. So it is likely that, had things gone better for Brian, they would have found the drugs in Henry’s system as well, or at least a needle mark, and […]

“One Tree Hill”: The Slippery Slope STALLS For Once

Posted by: haro1d Well, did you get to see One Tree Hill last night? Because I didn’t. I would love to recap and tell you all about it, but as fate would have it the only thing happening in our house last night was dinner by candlelight. Think I was being romantic, like Lucas or Nathan, or any of the OTH gang, because it’s Valentine’s Day this weekend? Sorry to disappoint you, but the power was out in our neighborhood, preventing ANY watching, recording, etc., of OTH. And in reality, there WAS no episode, so don’t sweat it. Nice to […]

Sex And The City: The Sequel … An Exercise In Bad Taste?

Posted by: kjpaloucek Dear God, when will it stop? In case you haven’t already picked this up from a dozen other sources, the sequel to the Sex and the City movie from last year is a go. They inked the deal yesterday, a source disclosed to E! Online. So far there’s no script, but Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis are allegedly all on board, and shooting is supposedly scheduled to start this summer and the film ostensibly will see release in summer 2010.

Getting Lost: “The Little Prince” Review

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg Thankfully, despite the episode being titled, “The Little Prince,” it had nothing to do with the child of Michael Jackson. After its fair dose of “Whoa!” moments (said with our best Keanu Reeves impersonation) in the first few episodes, the Lost writers took a step back and let us breathe a little this week. However, that’s not to say that we didn’t have any revelations this week. And there are always going to be more questions than answers. To the recap! johnnysweeptheleg’s Lost in a Moment: When I was a kid, it was all about […]

“One Tree Hill”: The Slippery Slope NEVER ENDS 15

Posted by: haro1d It was a big night for OTH — not only was it the show in which everyone was cast for Lucas’ movie, but in case you noticed, the episode was helmed by the multifaceted Bethany Joy Galeoti. So what kind of shiggity went down in Tree Hill last night? Let’s have a look … It’s the night that everyone gets to see themselves from another perspective. Casting calls for all of the OTH gang are in full swing, and there are plenty of amusing moments, like Nathan wondering aloud why everyone casting for his part has to […]

24 Day 7, Hour 7 — Lord Dubaku unleashes his Death Star … and it fizzles

By ElaineB Lesson Learned: Anything controlled by a computer should have a manual override switch. Some years back, Scientific American had a long article on the next generation of nuclear power plants, noting that computers could override human error and shut reactors down when problems develop. Well, last night, an insecticide plant near a small Ohio city learned why having computers in charge is not a good idea.

Black History Month 2009 Is HERE

Posted by: kjpaloucek Unless you’re living under a rock, you should be aware that Black History Month has a bit more to celebrate this year than in previous years. Thankfully, that means that there’s a bit more to look forward to in terms of meaningful Black History Month-themed programming on TV … because, frankly, we know — things had been getting a little wanting during February. (An explicit reminder to network programmers: Slotting repeated showings of Pootie Tang is not only NOT acceptable Black History Month programming, it diminishes the dignity of the occasion.) Here’s an overview of some the […]

Getting Lost: “Jughead” Review

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg We guessed from the episode title that the character of Jones would be significant. We were right — even if it was for all the wrong reasons. We were hoping his full name would be Forsythe P. Jones. Instead “Jughead” referred to a hydrogen bomb, while Jones turned out to be something far more sinister: Charles Widmore. Looking back, we probably should have seen it coming as soon as Miles sensed the fresh grave. Aside from being a typically creepy Lost moment, it was a signal that the name Jones belonged to a buried soldier […]

Getting Lost: “Jughead” Preview

Last season, we took the episode title “The Other Woman” as a license to make Ray Parker Jr. references at every opportunity. Now the Lost writers have tempted us again, naming the third episode of Season 5 “Jughead.” As much as we love the idea of someone running around the island in a gray crown beanie (someone who shares a surname with Jughead, perhaps?), we’ll try to leave the Archies out of our recap this week. Here are the unanswered questions heading into this week’s episode, “Jughead”: What happens in 70 hours? What is Ms. Hawking’s relationship to the island? […]
