While The Bubble Boy reveals his impressive electrical engineering skill-set, the forces of CTU scramble to figure out a way to keep him alive. He’s their only lead and with the frightening nuclear kill rods on the loose—and the threat of a dirty bomb lurking though if I were CTU I wouldn’t worry too [...]

24 Season 8: 1:00am to 2:00am

The following was taken from CTU Special Agent Owen’s personal journal, following the events of last hour:
Dear Journal:
How are you? I’m okay. A little nervous. Things are crazy around here. When my uncle got me this job last fall I tried to tell him that I had no practical experience as [...]

24 Season 8: 12:00am to 1:00am

Russian gangsters are dead. Nuclear fuel rods are gone. Rogue Islamic Republic loyalists are running amok. All Hell has broken loose and there’s only one man who can stop it: CTU Agent Owen!
Ha, just kidding. Everyone knows that Owen is a joke. A sad, pathetic joke.
See, CTU Director [...]

24 Season 8: 11:00pm to 12:00am

Jack is in the custody of a nasty gang of Russian gangsters, Renee’s lightened her hair, Chloe is smirking, Aldo or Alpo is a preening jackass and Dana Walsh continues to build on her awful life choices with even worse decisions.
As last week’s episode came to a close, Jack was being dragged off [...]

Supernatural 5.14: “My Bloody Valentine”

The last new episode until the end of March tosses in another dose of Apocalypse, as well as the second nefarious Horseman that Team Winchester will have to face: Famine.
The brothers roll into town to investigate a particularly stomach-churning double-homicide, where a man and a woman literally ate each other to death. Castiel shows [...]

24 Season 8: 10:00 pm to 11:00 pm

Things aren’t looking great for Team CTU, partially because their deep-cover operative may be out of her gourd, but mainly because there are still 17 hours to go in the day. The last time we saw them, Jack and Renee were poised to score some of those elusive nuclear rods that President Hassan’s Prell-pimping [...]

Supernatural 5.13 – The Song Remains the Same

We shall see how this all rolls out, but for now I am pleased as punch that we got back into the teeth of this arc. This was a great episode.

Last week’s episode was definitely a filler show, but there were flashes of entertainment embedded in the plodding narrative. This week? Just barrels of slowness and tedium.

Supernatural 5.12 – Swap Meat

This show was clearly made as an energy-saver for the actors, prepping them I’m sure for some long work days as we enter the home stretch.

24 Season 8: 8:00pm to 9:00 pm

This episode was a filler show, but I was still compelled. So far there aren’t any dead weight storylines, though the ex-boyfriend extortion plot is real close to getting on my nerves.

Supernatural 5.11 – Sam, Interrupted

It’s not that I’m against these one-and-done baddie shows; after all, that’s how the series made its bones back in the day. Just after the interminable wait for a new episode and the huge events that transpired when we last saw the Winchesters in action, it’s a bit of a letdown.
