“If we don’t place at Nationals, the university’s going to pull the plug on us.” Now, hmmm, that sentence from last night’s series premiere of The CW’s newest “drama,” Hellcats, sounds strikingly similar to the main plot of another show that I’m fairly certain I watch on a regular basis, but I can’t for the [...]

Note: The following review contains spoilers for all aired episodes of Warehouse 13, including the most recent, “Where and When.” It’s fitting that this week’s artifact is directly related to the “real”  Cinderella, because “Where and When”‘s last few moments are so very fairy tale.  There’s a beautiful circularity to the entire episode, which utilizes [...]

Note: The following review contains spoilers for all aired episodes of Warehouse 13, including the most recent, “Vendetta.” It seems like every week lately I have a new favorite episode of Warehouse 13.  ”Vendetta” is a taut, brilliant hour of television that seamlessly unites the wackier, self-referential vibe in which the series has been indulging [...]

Note: The following review contains spoilers for all aired episodes of True Blood, including the most recent, “Fresh Blood.” When watching a show as complex and wonderfully overstuffed as True Blood, it can be easy to ignore the individual performances and just be overwhelmed by the epic nature of the overall production.  This being the penultimate [...]

Note: The following review contains spoilers for all aired episodes of Eureka, including the most recent, “The Ex-Files.” “The Ex-Files” is an absolutely stellar episode of Eureka that brought with it one minor disappointment, but once I recovered from that momentary feeling of “Oh…huh,” it wasn’t difficult to acknowledge how intelligently this twist was set up [...]

The here! network is most known–among people who actually know of its existence–for producing what is basically gay softcore porn disguised as supernatural drama.  Dante’s Cove and The Lair are both incredibly fun shows, but they are so incredibly fun, because they are so (one would hope, deliberately) terrible, with often cringingly bad dialogue, acting, [...]

Note: The following review contains spoilers for all aired episodes of True Blood, including the most recent, “I Smell A Rat.” I have to confess that I’ve known the secret of Sookie’s origins for over a year now, thanks to a friend spoiling me on the books halfway through last season, so, no I didn’t experience [...]

The Powells were an ordinary American nuclear family, until one day they weren’t.  Up until their trip to Brazil, there wasn’t anything particularly distinctive about them as a unit.  Dad, Jim, a police station sketch artist played by Michael Chiklis (The Shield, Fantastic 4), was feeling dissatisfied and unfulfilled in life.  Meanwhile, son, JJ, was having [...]
