“Inside joke.” A great line. A provocative line. A dangerous line.

24: Please wake me up when something happens
I don’t have a helluva lot to say after Monday night’s episode except for: What? Did ANYthing happen? Yeah, some guns were drawn and a guy jumped out the window after shooting who he thought was Hairbib Schwartzmann, but, really? That was it? Jack’s leading a bunch of redshirts around, but...

One of many things I love about Lost is that they are so meticulous about titling their episodes. “The Substitute” works on so many levels. Most obviously, Locke finds his calling, perhaps, as a substitute teacher (I’ll get to Ben later. Yowza!). But then there’s the idea of the substitute Locke on...
Caprica: In Which Joseph Adama Becomes Badass
The most interesting thing, to me, about Reins of a Waterfall, is that we started, finally, to see the Joseph Adama who was hinted at in Battlestar Galactica. Up to this point, the Joseph Adams/Adama we’ve seen in Caprica is a family man. Sure, he’s related to a major crime family,...
Supernatural officially becomes post-apocalyptic
