Awesome Pam and Jessica need to have their own spin-off show. I’m thinking a road trip series that’s a cross between On the Road with Austin and Santino, The Fugitive, and Gilmore Girls.

I’m tired of ripping on this show, so I’m going to talk about the one thing that has consistently made me happy this season: Jilly Kitziinger’s wardrobe.
Full Story »Alphas: A Short Time in Paradise
It’s easy to make the guy who makes everyone see light and feel peaceful into a Christian zealot. Why not make him a straight-up motivational speaker? Or a therapist on his way to Dr. Drew-ish fame? Or a politician?

Even as a villain, I love River Song. She’s supplanting Gwen Cooper as my go to gal for awesome.

I’m a little in love with Terry Bellefleur. And John is a little in love with redheads wearing corsets, wielding bazookas.
Full Story »Torchwood: End of the Road
We’re having a serious discussion at Pink Raygun Galactic Headquarters about which is worse: Starz’s Torchwood or Syfy’s Flash Gordon. It causes me great pain that it’s come to this.

Alphas: Catch and Release
You know what’s awesome about all the parenthood stuff in this episode? It didn’t get in the way of the story. Keep it up Syfy. Be careful, though. I’ll start expecting things from you again.
Full Story »Torchwood: Immortal Sins
I think my DVR is looking out for me. The recording of last Friday’s Torchwood wouldn’t play past the Starz logo no matter what troubleshooting tricks I applied as if the DVR was saying, “Lisa, you really don’t want to go there.”
Full Story »True Blood: Let’s Get Out of Here
I have so many problems right now. Leading my problems is the usual: Sookie, being a selfish dick, showing absolutely no gratitude for Alcide plucking her from the battle. There’s also the problem of Tara needing to be rescued by her white friend (which will likely lead to an apology on Tara’s part at the [...]

Torchwood, how you’ve disappointed me. This must be what my mom felt like when I told her I was majoring in English. And planned to be a teacher.
Full Story »Falling Skies: Season Finale
Next season, I’m introducing the Falling Skies drinking game. I don’t have the specifics yet, but I know that whenever Tom or one of his kids talks about history, viewers will take a shot.

Alan Ball, you’re relying way too much on rape to develop your characters. Seriously, dude. There’s a lot of rape in your show. It’s gross. Please stop.
Full Story »Torchwood: The Categories of Life
I think I’m the only one who finds Oswald Danes’ apotheosis to be feasible. It’s feasible because Americans are a bunch of infantile chumps.
Full Story »Alphas: Rosetta
With “Rosetta”, Alphas does what science fiction does best: social commentary. Specifically, disabilities and medicating in the name of “normal”.
Full Story »Falling Skies: What Hides Beneath
I fully expected Captain Weaver’s abrupt emotional development to be a cue that he’d be dead by the end of the episode. But, his mental state was saved by his wife’s magic glasses of hope.
Full Story »Torchwood: Escape to LA
This episode is so full of WTF I want to shake Russell T. Davies and scream, “You know what you did!!!”
Full Story »Five Reasons You Should Be Watching Alphas
I have a Pavlovian response when Syfy puts a show out there: I don’t watch right away. Syfy has trained me to be disappointed with their shows, so much that, when one comes along that looks interesting, I feel no sense of urgency to watch it. My attitude is, “Well, I’ll get to it eventually. Let me watch this 43 year old episode of Star Trek I’ve seen a thousand times, first.”
