Duke Nukem: Glorious Bastard #4 And so, the Duke Nukem comic comes to a close, and no, I am not ashamed to say that I read all four issues. In concept this was a good idea, and I can’t exactly say I was disappointed since my expectations were never really that high, but at the [...]

A new batch of these are coming out on Wednesday, so I’m trying to play catch up. Here’s some more reviews. Detective Comics #1 As Detective Comics is the title from which DC got its namesake, one expects a certain level of quality from the flagship series. Thankfully, writer and artist Tony S. Daniel delivers [...]

The X-Files- Season 8 Sigh. That exclamation pretty much sums up how I feel about The X-Files’ penultimate season. This is one of the best sci-fi shows ever made we’re talking about here, hell one of the best TV shows ever made ever, so it really pains me to talk about its slow, laborious death. [...]

Check out my recap of last night’s double-sized Falling Skies recap at Culturemob. As much as I love me a show about aliens, Falling Skies has had a rocky first season, and the finale was a mixed bag. You can read my take here.

After the dismal resolution to the “Sanctuary” arc, many Falling Skies fans wondered if the alien invasion drama would be of a flip-floppy quality like another show I recap, The Killing.

So head over to Culturemob to read my latest recap, which is much more upbeat and enthusiastic [...]

How’s it going everybody? So I’ve been in Martha’s Vineyard, where I simultaneously tried to relax and deal with my parents, which is why I haven’t posted anything the past twelve days. I did however manage to go to the library and write a recap of last week’s episode of Falling Skies, entitled “Grace.” You [...]

Head over to Culturemob to read my latest recap for TNT’s new alien invasion drama Falling Skies. That is all.

With The Killing over with for now, I’ve shifted my Culturemob recap focus to TNT’s brand new alien invasion drama, Falling Skies. It stars Noah Wyle of ER fame and has Steven Spielberg’s name on the poster. It’s also pretty cool. Not great, but good, and with the potential to get a lot better in [...]

At long last, after a cool pilot and twenty episodes of crap, The Event finally comes to a close, and the answer to “what is the Event?” is (maybe) revealed. Though The Event didn’t redeem itself at the last minute in the same way as FlashForward, it did have a pretty baller ending and could [...]
