Always struggling between whether to review TV seasons at calendar year-end or summer season-end, but inspired by the awesome finales of Lost and Battlestar Galactica, I’ve decided to talk about the shows I loved, and not-so-loved this season (no comment, however, on shows I dropped ages ago — that means you: Bionic Woman, Dirty Sexy…

Galactica creator Moore sticks with Sci-Fi
Check out the Hollywood Reporter article which reveals what Ronald D. Moore (co-creator of the excellent sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica) is up to next. With Fringe (new sci-fi series from Alias creator JJ Abrams) and Dollhouse (new sci-fi series from Buffy creator Joss Whedon) already slated for the 2008-2009 TV season, this is looking to…
Battlestar Lives On
With the writers’ strike and other tv-business concerns rearing their discouraging heads, it sounded like the BSG prequel series Caprica was not going to go ahead. However, now SciFi Channel in the US have announced that there will be a two-hour potential pilot for the series. Yay! According to Hollywood Reporter this show was one…
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…
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)….
2007 Season Finales
Another television season has ended, and on some cliffs we’ve been left hanging–but nothing to make me crave next season. Alias, Battlestar, Lost, X-Files, and even Friends was always good for some major game-changing in the last episode, but this year’s shows aren’t quite stringing me along for next fall. Heroes – “How To Stop…
Five memorable TV moments from 2006
I’m sure by now you have watched or read some kind of 2006 retrospective: maybe a top 10 list of movies or books or tv shows. I’ve seen a few, and tried to come up with a few myself. At the movies, this was another lacklustre year for me. I didn’t really see a lot…
Fall TV 2006 – week three
It’s a fitting “finale” to the month or so of premieres which we’ve been enjoying that my three favourite shows should make their returns within the same week. It’s been a busy few weeks, so I haven’t really given myself the breathing space to get all excited with anticipation. Lost, Veronica Mars and Battlestar Galactica…
2005: The Year on TV
Let’s face it. The new fall season is a dud. They’ve cancelled shows that I was watching (like Just Legal and Threshold) and kept on inferior ones (like Invasion, Surface, Ghost Whisperer) that I wouldn’t want to watch unless you paid me (and I ain’t seen no cheques in the mail yet!). However, calendar year-end…
