Reaction: Fringe (5×03)

by sbg on October 12, 2012

Fringe Friday is here! I don’t like thinking about how this is the last season. For Fox, though, I suppose five seasons is a long run. It’s just that it’s been pretty consistently good and it seems a damn shame it goes away while other shows keep on keeping on. Like, how is the original CSI still on the air?! Anyway. Ohhhh, the tapes are [...]

Reaction: Supernatural (8×02)

by sbg on October 10, 2012

Well, here I am again. I am going to see if things improve while not expecting the flame to be rekindled, but I cannot guarantee a full-season of reactions. I’m stubborn and I want to see this show through to the end. I simply don’t know if I can manage it. I actually enjoyed this episode much more than the premier. I still hate the [...]

Reaction: Fringe (5×01, 5×02)

I never did re-watch last week’s episode. Let’s just sum up with: it really is the Year of the Time Jump. I don’t mind it quite so much with a show like Fringe, only because they pull timey-wimey, weird sciency stuff with some frequency and they, you know, introduced it last season. That said, while I wouldn’t go so far as to claim I love [...]

Reaction: Supernatural (8×01)

Oh dear. I almost forgot about this show! (I did not forget about Fringe, but certain personal life upheavals and changes (not bad) have kind of sucked my brain out, so there’ll be a double post on Friday or Saturday … or Sunday for that one, as I need to re-watch.) Sadly the personal life upheavals have less to do with me almost forgetting Supernatural [...]

Reaction: Supernatural (7×23)

I meant to say this last week: what is up with Dean’s jacket? He already HAD a leather jacket, and one with character. It was worn and rugged and tough. Yeah, yeah, it was from the old days, before they retconned John completely into Bad Father so Bobby could be Good Father. Harumph. There was a lot going on this episode, but I thought it [...]

Midweek Media: Kayak WTF

by sbg on May 16, 2012

Brief transcript: The scene: a nice, large home. An older (white) man sits at a table, working on a laptop. A (white) woman approximately the same age as the man enters the room with mail in her hand. She pauses and says, “Honey, your eyes.” The shot changes so we can see that the man’s pupils are completely black. He says, “It’s for our vacation. [...]

Reaction: Fringe (4×22)

Had I been coherent enough to give an actual post on last week’s Fringe episode, I would have mentioned my suspicions about Jessica Holt. She was too calm and cool with the whole “gonna die” thing. I’m generally skeptical of TV people who can remain that calm. Perhaps it happens in real life, but I’d imagine that when people face imminent doom in a horrible [...]
