Full Story »Interview: Saul Rubinek and Eddie McClintock of Warehouse 13
One again I had the pleasure of being on conference call with Eddie McClintock and Saul Rubinkek, stars from the Syfy channel’s hit show Warehouse 13. McClintock plays Agent Pete Lattimer and Saul Rubinek plays the warehouse’s caretaker and boss, Artie Nelson. Both actors have had long careers in the business, but Warehouse 13 is the first time either have carried a television show.

Full Story »True Blood: Evil is Going On
Sookie is finally acting the way I’ve wanted her to since the beginning. She’s telling off vampires, schooling Bill in the fact that he doesn’t own her, generally dropping the damsel act. Look at her with carrying on with Russell, all spunky-like!

Full Story »Slim Pickings for Fall TV
Looks like I may be doing a lot more reading this television season. The upfronts this spring left me with a general sense of ennui that I shoved aside for a while. Now that the season and series premieres are upon us that sense of ennui has morphed into general poopiness. Poopui. Heh.
Full Story »The Guild Season 4 Episode 7: Awkward Birthday!
By WorldofHiglet – Guess who’s come to dinner? “Awkward” barely scratches the surface of the seething mass of tension that is Zaboo’s mum’s birthday dinner in the latest episode from The Guild.
Full Story »Your Own Personalized, Interactive Film: “The Wilderness Downtown”
by Juliana Weiss-Roessler I don’t know what I was expecting exactly when I input the address of the home I grew up in on The Wilderness Downtown, and the music video for Arcade Fire’s “We Used to Wait” began. Maybe a few quick satellite shots. Or a reference to my hometown on some signs in the [...]
Full Story »The Guild Season 4 Episode 6 – Weird Respawn
By WorldofHiglet – After the bombshell cliff-hanger of last week, the underlying tension of the whole season ramps up even more. Codex finds herself drawn into conflict in the workplace and out: the boss, the slacker, the friendzone and his mother. And Vork. Plus the ladies that lunch. Yes, it’s another action-packed episode….
Full Story »True Blood: Fresh Blood
I feel like there would have been more tension at the end of this episode if I didn’t know True Blood had already been renewed for a fourth season. Remember when we didn’t know? And how tense that was? I’m wondering if one of the things that made some older season finales so great was that we didn’t know if it was actually coming back. Here, we know. True Blood will be back next summer, which means that Sookie will live, along with either Bill Compton or Eric Northman or both. Russell will most likely die the true death to make room for a new Big Bad (based on novel #4, I’m guessing it will be a coven of V-drinking witches), which is unfortunate. I already love Russell.

True Blood: I Smell A Rat
Why do I get so bored when the cast of True Blood spends the entire episode talking? Is it because they’re trash?

Full Story »The Guild Season 4 Episode 5: Loot Envy
By WorldofHiglet – Last week saw Codex’ relationship go from off, to Fawkes-off to faux-on all in the space of a non-date-deductable visit to Cheesybeards. Oh, and she got a job, too. So how’s that working out…?
Full Story »True Blood: Everything is Broken
Oh, god, the crying was so bad in this ep. I was moving along OK until that scene in the police department with that terrible actress “crying” her eyes out. There were no tears there, people. No tears. Her entire role was to sit there and cry – how did the True Blood crew manage to find an actress who can’t effing cry?
Full Story »The Guild Season 4, Episode 4 – Moving On
By WorldofHiglet – Last week saw Codex stunned with a terrible revelation that threatened to undermine her last remaining self-confidence. And I mused on the merits of sporran-punching. This week Codex takes the lead, and gets a lot more than she bargained for.
