Medium 5.8: Truth Be Told

The thought of Allison getting a new ability scares me. She really does need to start developing new powers: that would just be annoying and convoluted. The ads promoted this episode as Allison gets a new ability, so I was concerned. The ability ends up being a temporary one related to one of her dreams. [...]

24 7.16: “11:00pm to 12:00 am”

Things are getting hot up in he-yahh! The evil Starkwood Something-or-Other Corporation of Mercenaries and Stuff is plotting an attack on American soil using a scary bioweapon that Jack happened to take a lungful of last week.
Can Tony survive the interrogation? Will Jack test positive for Uroboros or whatever is that [...]

The Unit 4.18: “Best Laid Plans”

The Unit comes out guns-a-blazin’ in one of the best episodes this season. Half the team is undercover, the other half is in France killing some guy, and one member of the crew takes a creepy, creepy turn for the worst.

The Simpsons 20.15: “Wedding for Disaster”

Like many Simpsons episodes, “Wedding for Disaster” begins with a series of wacky events that leads to trouble for our title family. First, Reverend Lovejoy announces in church that his higher-up, the Parson, is planning to visit his flock of Springfield Presbylutherans. But it turns out his holiness is not on a social call He [...]

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Episode #220, “To The Lighthouse”

Everyone who watched must have known Charley was a goner as soon as he turned up in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Episode #220, “To The Lighthouse.” Even the red herring with Cameron seemingly electrocuted didn’t throw me off that guess. Made me wish Fox hadn’t teased a death in last week’s trailers.

My Name is Earl 4.22: Pinky

There are some episodes that are undone by continuity errors, predictable writing, and rather convenient plot twists. Then there’s this week’s episode, where even though some of the writing was a bit dicey, it doesn’t matter because the emotion and humor is so strong that it’s ultimately easy to overlook the flaws. There may have [...]

The Office 5.20: “Two Weeks”

Say what you will about the recent economic downturn. It’s been a real boon for television. Advertisers have decided the best way to get people to part with what little money that have left is to convince them they’ll spend less of it on their products, and TV shows have incorporated national belt-tightening into recent [...]

Supernatural 4.17 “It’s a Terrible Life”

After last week’s intense demon-torture-thon, a lighter episode. But it’s deceptively light: the payoff proves to be one of the most potent character bits in the season and continues to set the table for whatever big-ass cosmic throwdown awaits us at the finale.
Spoilers lurk below.
The episode drops us into a foreign world, where Dean [...]

Medium 5.7 A Necessary Evil

This week sees the return of one of Allison’s most notorious villains: an FBI agent and murderer. He returns to the series in typical fashion, as a ghost. Kurtwood Smith is show hopping from 24 over to Medium to play the ghost of Agent Cooper. Allison isn’t thrilled to see him, but he seems to [...]
