Top 10 of 2010
This year has been an interesting one for television. 2010 gave us the finales of a few shows (LOST, Flight of the Conchords, Heroes) and introduced us to numerous shows of surprisingly high quality (The Walking Dead and Justified). As ratings plummeted in the wake of a shift to DVR viewing, networks are still slow … Continue reading
The Walking Dead: To Live and Die in Atlanta
I’m smiling ear to ear. I was somewhat leery of the trajectory that last week’s episode was setting up for the finale. All I could think of was a cliché-ridden episode in which we learn all about the origins of the zombie virus and the back-story of the outbreak. Images of the survivors being rescued … 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
The Walking Dead: Down Among the Dead Men

As piles of the dead (both zombie and former camp members) are disposed of, Andrea kneels over the lifeless body of Amy. She’s been there all night, standing … Continue reading

Bursting at the seams from all manner of savory delights consumed the previous night, I was hoping to stretch my legs and possibly pick up a few items at the mall. Upon watching the news I came to my … Continue reading

We were treated to the reunion of Rick with his family, while little sister Amy was overjoyed at the return of older sister Andrea. Furthermore, … 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
The Walking Dead: No Guts, No Story
While giving us an episode that is a full 180 degrees from the amazing first installment, the Walking Dead dazzles with character development derived from action and suspense. I was nervous that this episode wouldn’t meet the high bar set by the first but, in some ways, it actually surpassed it. We got a fresh … Continue reading
RHOA: “Shut Up! That is SO Stupid!”
Today’s title comes from the lovely new face of Nene Leakes! I had to rewind my DVR and listen to her say it twice. Fantastical! I concur. Who delivers a baby early without complications? Babies are on top of their mothers bladder, that’s just a fact. No doctor is going to remove a baby just … Continue reading
