Making up for 'Lost' time
Variety &bull Aug 28, 2010
A number of major nets are fielding ambitious dramas that aspire to the same kind of dense, mystery-thriller-style storytelling that proved so addictive to "Lost" fans around the world for six seasons. Among the hopefuls are NBC's "The Event" and "The Cape," AMC's "Rubicon," ABC's "No Ordinary Family" and CW's "Nikita." HBO is venturing into this territory with its upcoming "Game of Thrones," which marks the pay cabler's first foray into the sci-fi sphere. Fox's "Fringe," which is heading into its third season, also has high… Full Story »

The SmarK DVD Rant for Kalifornia (Blu Ray)
Inside Pulse - Movies &bull Aug 25, 2010This Blu-ray is part of MGM's rapidly failing efforts not to go bankrupt, as they release as much of their catalog in budget Blu form as they can, presumably to drum up enough cash to finance another Bond film and save the studio. But that's OK, because the original DVD was pretty crappy, and is even included as a bonus with this one! Kalifornia stars David Duchovny at the height of his X-Files celebrity as Brian, a bleeding-heart liberal writer (in stark contrast to his later… Full Story »

Blu-Ray Review: Fantastic HD Release For Final Season of 'Lost'
HollywoodChicago.com &bull Aug 24, 2010
CHICAGO - A Blu-ray review of the controversial final season of "Lost" is not the place to get into arguments over the quality of the actual finale, so I'll get my opinion out of the way quickly and then we can discuss the Blu-ray release more than the ending specifically - the final season of "Lost" is arguably the best final season of any program ever and the last episode is the perfect bookend for a show too ambitious to be truly influential. I promise to get into that more in coverage of the upcoming Emmys and in "Best of… Full Story »

TV: The X-Files: "Quagmire"/"Wetwired"/"Talitha Cumi"
The AV Club &bull Aug 22, 2010
Quagmire" I'm glad Todd and I have been doing double duty on the X-Files this summer; it cuts down on my workload, and it also means I don't have to feel quite so responsible on reviewing every iconic episode. Because I missed "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'" when it aired, I haven't spent the last fifteen years going over it in my head. It has no real emotional connection for me, so I couldn't speak to it as changing the way I viewed the world or the show. But more fundamental than that is the simple fact that, having now… Full Story »

TV: The X-Files: "Hell Money"/"Jose Chung's From Outer Space"/"Avatar"
The AV Club &bull Aug 15, 2010
Vaguely boring and filled with characters that are very nearly racist caricatures, "Hell Money" should be a whole lot more awful than it is. That it's not speaks to the heightened cinematic nature of the third season episodes. Even though Mulder and Scully are mostly on the sidelines of this one, it remains compelling just because so many of the sequences, as filmed, are so damn compelling. It also helps that the central idea of the episode - which reportedly came from Chris Carter himself - is a terrifically engaging hook to build an episode like this around. The idea… Full Story »

TV: The X-Files: "Apocrypha"/"Pusher"/"Teso Dos Bichos"
The AV Club &bull Aug 8, 2010
A few of you have complained about the lack of summary in these recaps, and you probably have a point. Going by titles alone, I don't remember half the episodes before I sit down to re-watch them, and this show was a huge influence on me as a kid; it would only be fair of me to provide you with a little grounding before we dive into all the crazy. But, um, here's the thing. I don't really know what's going on in mythology episodes. I never have. And I don't mean that I lost the thread once the writers… Full Story »

TV: Star Trek: The Next Generation: "The Survivors"/"Who Watches The Watchers"
The AV Club &bull Aug 5, 2010
We've been talking over in the X-Files recaps about how great X-Files was as an anthology show once it got a good head of steam going. The show's core concept--two FBI agents investigating strange cases that fell through the bureaucratic cracks--made it possible for episodes to vary wildly in style and intent, from the overtly horrific to the cynically comedic, while still maintaining a consistent world. There were mythology episodes that worked with continuity, but there were also one-offs like "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" or "Home" that played like short stories that our heroes just happened to brush up against.… Full Story »

Sanctuary: The Complete Second Season
DVD Verdict &bull Jul 30, 2010
The second season of the hit SyFy supernatural drama, Sanctuary: The Complete Second Season offers more of what fans love: green screens, ghouls, and people who used to be on Stargate TV shows. Compared to its sci-fi fantasy competition, Sanctuary is somewhat sterile and ineffectual, but a superior sophomore season helps mitigate the damage. Noble scientist Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) seeks out all manner of monstrous creatures. She is their protector, offering sanctuary to any being, man or beast that requires it. Her project, the Sanctuary Network exists in major cities all across the world, offering protection to the… Full Story »

Note: Running behind once again. The second two episodes of this recap will be up later today, but here's a taste to get you started. And yeah, it's not edited. Worst. Reviewer. There are premise shows and there are problem shows, and The X-Files is a problem show. I'm not talking about quality. Like, Star Trek: The Next Generation? That's a premise show. We've got a space ship full of characters, they fly around the galaxy, and they can have as many adventures as there are ratings and money to support them. Quantum Leap, on the other hand, is a… Full Story »

Being Human: Season One (Blu-Ray)
DVD Verdict &bull Jul 16, 2010
Like many BBC TV series, aside from Doctor Who, Being Human pretty much dropped out of the sky in 2008; delivering a relatively new, if not at least more traditional, look at vampires, werewolves and ghosts. Given its brief debut season of only six episodes, did the series have the opportunity to plant deep enough roots to carry it into the future? From Three's Company to Bosom Buddies, series have been based on the inherently awkward and humorous situations that face roommates, but Being Human takes a new approach by adding a supernatural flavor most viewers won't likely have seen… Full Story »
