Finale Fever
In the land of network television, the month of May can mean only one thing. Say it with me kids, ‘Season Finale!’ Good or bad, season finales are always an interesting proposition. The fact that a creative team attempts to encapsulate an entire season of plot lines into one episode is impressive. Unfortunately, the 44-minute … Continue reading
Fringe: First to Last
Well, I didn’t expect that. A season spent jumping between universes ends with a trip forward in time. This is exactly what I love about Fringe. Like its predecessors, LOST and Battlestar Galactica, Fringe is not afraid to take risks in its storytelling. They look danger in the face and say, ‘Whatever, dude!’ And with … Continue reading
Glee: We Are Shaking and Crying for Santana

As ratings plummeted in the wake of a shift to DVR viewing, networks are still slow … Continue reading
Fringe: Break On Through to the Other Side
Hey all. I’ve recently spoken to a bunch of folks who read my regular recaps/analysis of Fringe and, while they aren’t regular viewers of the fine show, they were eager to learn the back story that has led to events thus far. As such, I thought I’d preface my episode recap with a full series … Continue reading
Fringe: First People, Second Thoughts
The plot thickens…again. Fringe has been on its game the past two weeks with episodes that have furthered character arcs, posited some crazy ideas and fleshed out the mythos a bit more. This week brought us closer to what might be some honest-to-goodness answers AND the resolution of something that’s been nagging me since the … Continue reading
