Watching Caprica has been an adventure in and of itself. And by that I mean it’s been a bit of an ordeal keeping track of when and where its episodes are going to air. First there was the 90-minute, uncensored, titty-tastic pilot released on DVD in between the finale of BSG and its final movie [...]

And so it begins! To be honest, this is my favorite time of the year because it gives me an excuse to indulge in one of my greatest pleasures: list-making. I kick things off with my Top 10 television episodes of the year. 2010 was an exciting, if uneven year for television. The dead walked, [...]

How could there be any drama, when we the audience know that within a scant 60 years everyone and everything we’ve been watching [...]

The fall TV season has returned, and with it, a slew of exciting new shows, and some old favorites. I’m very selective about what TV I watch, mostly because it is full of such shit, so believe me, that there’s at least one thing in here you’d probably enjoy (if you have taste. If not [...]
