By Lisa Fary – Claire’s hair continues to be incredibly distracting. It was a totally different color and style this week than when we saw her last. Show, can you at least budget some better wigs for her? I haven’t seen this kind of wig inconsistency since Beverly Crusher.

by Sylvia Bond – Show bit off a very big bite with this one…The fun part was in not knowing exactly what Show was doing until the very end, where the riff takes a very sharp turn. But before that, there was lots and lots and lots of really entertaining Sam and Dean togetherness, and a fangirl can’t ask for more than that. (But we do anyway.)

By Sonia Aurora – The problem with hitting a pinnacle is that you’re bound to, no matter what, be slightly disappointed by the follow-up. Be it a weaker sequel, a sophomore TV season, etc, it’s hard to follow something great. There are exceptions (The Empire Strikes Back, X-Men 2, Spider-man 2) but the rule still follows even these (Return of the Jedi, X-Men 3, Spider-man 3).

By TrinityVixen – Jimmy Olsen, cosmic whipping boy. Hardly flattering, but it sounds better than “Jimmy Olsen, morphine addict.” Yes, they really went there.

By Lisa Fary – If you’re a comic fan who can’t let go, don’t read this book. You’ll only get pissed off and write a blog post about how little the author, Austin Grossman, knows about comics and how he’s not really clever at all, just a hack trying to make a buck off of the superhero “trend”.

By Rhea Dee – When the 6th Harry Potter book came out, I thought for sure I was gonna be a Ginny Weasley forever fan. After a lot of shyness and bumbling around in the previous books, she finally came into her own, a character who was sassy and in control, a take charge badass kind of gal. Harry Potter was seriously lacking a mouthy badass girl and I was pleasantly surprised when Ginny stepped into that role.Then the 7th book happened. The badass Ginny? Gone. I mean, she was still there, but greatly reduced to the background. I felt so…cheated.

I. The Setup
So, there’s this guy called Alex Jones whom you may have seen stinking up the Internet over the last several years. He’s a radio host based out of Austin, Texas, and his show’s mix of blustery, spittle-charged ranting and isolationist paranoia has really served to carve a unique and successful space in fringe culture. The guy’s so popular, he even scored a couple cameos in Richard Linklater flicks. (He was the guy driving around town yelling into a bullhorn in Waking Life.)

By Lisa Fary – I saw a Lost promo in between Scrubs and Better Off Ted and felt a stirring. It wasn’t the sausage and potatoes from dinner, it wasn’t the two glasses of lemon ginger echinacea juice (I hate being sick).

By TrinityVixen – How is it that Bryan Fuller only has to look at a show and suddenly it’s one hundred times more enjoyable? Well, Swoosie Kurtz helped. (I miss her eye patch!)

by Sylvia Bond – There were a whole lot of commercials, too much angels talking, and not enough boys angsting and emoting. Not enough of the boys, period. What was good was very good, and what was not was boring.

By Sonia Aurora – When the Buffy series first got aired on TV, I actually caught it the weekend it re-aired because my boyfriend at the time was enamored of Ms. Gellar and had to see it again. Because he worked late, I started taping (yes, taping, back in an era where Tivo and DVR did not exist) the episodes for him, while also watching them.

By Melissa Voelker – This has to have been one of the best episodes of the entire series. In fact it was so good, and so much better than “Today is the Day, part 1,” that I am just going to pretend Part 1 didn’t exist. That episode was dumb, and didn’t feel right to me one little bit, so it no longer exists. POOF! (I can do that; I’ve decided it’s my superpower now.)

By Brian Thompson – When all the guns stopped blazing and the nukes started flying, Battlestar Galactica’s final episode lost its grip on reality. It also found a human peace it had been lumbering toward over the last four years–one we all knew was coming but none of us expected.

by Teresa Jusino – Much in the way one does when they know what it’s like to have had their childhood s!@t upon (he explained, citing The Phantom Menace as an example), Wil Wheaton has made good in a most extraordinary way.
