You get so used to seeing the strange that the strange becomes normal. Half-naked anime chicks? Been there, done that. Zombies? Yeah, about 500 of them.

Full Story »Interview: Tricia Helfer

By Sabrina Boyer
I can’t even tell you how great a metaphor it is to have a government official like a mayor turn into a huge overpowering demon who looks, admittedly, like a giant penis. This is what makes this show just so damn awesome. Legend…wait for it…dary.

Full Story »Chuck vs. the Best Friend
By Jenn Kim
Holy crap. Was it me, or was tonight’s episode of Chuck like, the best episode ever? Sexy Asian man candy, a ridiculously brutal biracial girl fight, and a car explosion with heartbreaking emotional resonance… all leading up to Jeffster! performing the best cover of “Africa” on earth.

By Melissa Voelker
Last week I got excited because I finally saw a terminator acting like a terminator. Catherine Weaver marched into that warehouse and slaughtered people left and right without a moment’s hesitation. It didn’t matter that they were mother’s or father’s or someone’s kid. She cut them down with her awesome liquid cyborg sword arms and then burnt down the building around the bodies. As sad as it was, I couldn’t help feeling like it was about dang time.

The best a show creator can hope for is that the pilot is strong enough to allow to develop further the vision they have, and the best stories have at least a season’s worth of vision, that shapes and evolves over time.
