Pardon the grandiose title of this post, but as the year comes to a close, I like to take a look back at high points (and maybe a few lows) at the movies and on TV. The Silver Screen This year was a pretty average year for me at the movies. I watched about 30…

Battlestar Galactica: Razor + a funny post for BSG fans
So, I watched the 2-hour morsel of BSG (aka Battlestar Galactica: Razor) to keep us hungry until whenever season 4 finally airs. It was a pretty good extended-episode, flashing back to the story of what happened on board the Pegasus after the Cylons attacked, as well as a separate story of a rescue mission during…
Halloween 2007 – Sci-Fi TV Scare-athon
Inspired by a recent post on SyFy Portal (The 10 Scariest Episodes On Sci-Fi TV), I wanted to spend this Halloween enjoying back-to-back episodes of the scariest sci-fi television. Generally, television is not scary: they’ve got to be sensitive to the kiddies in the audience, plus the standards for content are much stricter. You’re not…
Mars, Whedon, Dushku: The latest TV tidbits
Special Agent Mars appears on YouTube Remember when Veronica Mars was nearing cancellation and we fans were biting our nails in hopes that the idea of Veronica at the FBI would get picked up and the show that we loved would be reinvented with new life? Well, that didn’t happen, but the pilot shot for…
New trailer for 24 Season 7 kinda brings it
OK. So 24 Season 6 was a bad “day” for us all. But check out the new trailer for Season 7 (be careful about watching this if you don’t want any spoilers). Exclusive First Look: 24 Season 7 Trailer Fox already spoiled a bit by announcing the return of the not quite dead Tony Almeida…
Fall TV 2007 Pt. 3 – More Shows
I don’t give up on new shows until after at least watching 2 episodes (but last week’s Moonlight is really pushing my tolerance in that regard), but the rest of the new and returning shows that I watched were a bit disappointing. Pushing Daisies This highly-anticipated new show is very quirky in that Tim-Burton-esque, magic-realism…
Fall TV 2007 Pt. 2 – New Shows
The new shows that caught my eye this year are mostly those with a little bit of oddness to them. This season there are a few shows that try to add a bit of specialness to otherwise “ordinary” characters (I guess that’s the Heroes influence). Bionic Woman Easily my most anticipated, this latest “reinvention” from…
Fall TV 2007 Pt. 1 – Returning Shows
Everyone starts with the new shows, but since I watched the old shows first, that’s where I’m going to begin: Heroes I’m assuming you all watched the return of last year’s hot new show, so let’s get to it. I’m still not convinced that Hiro’s time-trip back to feudal Japan isn’t a premature shark-jumping, but…
Alvin’s 50 Favourite Shows
Welcome to my 100th post. To honour this auspicious milestone, I’ve decided to do what many web sites seem to be doing — come up with my top 50 TV shows of all time (I started with 100, but it was just too much — and even with 50, I hope you’ll stick with me)….
