2007 was the year I got beat up by TV. There was so much to watch, much of which only made me angry. I fell in love with a pie maker, broke up with Jack Shepherd and then had the best new show – Journeyman – killed off too soon (damn you, NBC!). The WGA [...]

By Heather Cee I hate Christmas episodes. I have nothing against this so-called wonderful time of year, but most TV shows seem obligated to riff on Capra or Dickens, or the entire half-hour/hour becomes about the claustrophobia of family gatherings, like a postcard from hell reminding you what to look forward to in week’s time.

By Heather Cee As you’ve probably heard by now, Journeyman is teetering on the brink of cancellation. With fellow NBC shows Life and Chuck receiving reprieves at the guillotine, Kevin Falls’ increasingly smart, dynamic, and just damn good show has yet to be renewed, and rumors of its fate resting on this two-part episode’s ratings [...]

By Heather Cee Katie Vasser may be overtaking Laura Roslin as my favorite woman on television. I know. I KNOW. This is huge. My Roslin love, and defense of her occasional dips into Machiavellian decision-making, has been known to start heated arguments with others about the nature of survival, leadership, and faith; y’know, the Big [...]

by Heather Cee Ass-kicking and Kevin McKidd go together like peanut butter and chocolate but, no matter how much I scrunched my face and willed otherwise, Dan Vasser has had little opportunity to use his face as a battering ram in his time travel adventures. There’s been the occasional scuffle of self-defense or wrestle of [...]

By Heather Cee Things I would tell my teenage self, knowing what I know now: 1. “Men” is a technical term, not a guarantee. They’ll still be boys, just with more hair and more gas. 2. That which is deemed un-cool will undoubtedly have a web shrine and insanely detailed Wikipedia entry in the future, [...]

I wish more people watched Journeyman. Twice last night I let loose an excited “woo!” – Deep Throat-esque scientist with the cryptic understatements, woo! Someone finally witnesses Dan vanishing into thin air, woo! Exclamations sadly lost on the SO, who was biding his time until last night’s episode of Heroes finally loaded online. I, the [...]

By Heather Cee – Okay, there’s something I need to get off my chest: how is it permissible to leave a thrice-victimized woman in the arms of the man who once stalked her? Because I’m still trying to wrap my brain around this waving red flag of NO, which is less a lapse in Dan’s [...]

By Heather Cee If you thought Journeyman was going to mine big, angsty, dramatic gold from the San Francisco earthquake of ’89, you may have been puzzled to find a different enchilada altogether last night. And that’s what keeps impressing me: this show has subtle curve balls to throw our way. No pomp, no swelling [...]

By Heather Cee The husband and I are big music geeks, so Journeyman is providing entertainment on the musical trivia front. Tonight’s winner? Me, with the year pinpoint for the Psychedelic Furs’ “The Ghost In You” – 1984, Mirror Moves. No Google required. Richard Butler, I still want you to marry me. Related Stuff:

By Heather Cee Kevin McKidd’s face looks like it’s gone ten rounds with the wrong end of a big, meaty fist – and I love it. I love the way his flesh sits on his skull like a mess of flesh-colored Playdough, clumped up at his brow and on the bridge of his nose, all [...]
