My Other stuff on TV
I am quite annoyed by the infantile approach they are taking the new V movie/mini-series/series or whatever it is going to be. Anyone that is reasonably knowledgeable about V the original mini-series, the book and the shows that followed knows what the ‘V’ stood for. Victory. It was the center-piece of the whole concept of the movie. It was…
OK, so it is finally over. Good or bad, the lasted through 4 seasons, a writers strike and fluctuating ratings to bring everyyone to home. ***** <<< WARNING SPOILERS >>> ***** This episode is really what I think I wanted to see a lot more of during the past several seasons. However, I think it…
FINALLY, a decent plot that grabs me. And a great actor moment that helps me define the bad guy. Where was this when they wanted to keep my attention? Are they like Lost and making it up as they go along. Seems like it. If they played this up a little more through out the…
I have been very unhappy with the direction of what could have been a great show – the new Battlestar Galactica. For the past whole season, I have come to the end of each episode complete dissatisfied and asking myself “what the heck did I just watch?” I have been trying to figure this out…
Holy Cow! Just read this article on Dark Horizons web site (www.darkhorizons.com). Hollywood is truly out of original ideas. There is a boat-load of new remakes coming. Some of these I could not care less about but most are pretty near and dear to my fanboy heart. They could really screw these up with updating…
I have heard this described as a Sci-fi soap oprah… space soap oprah, I guess. A BSG meets Dallas/Falcon Crest type story. More focus on drama, less on sci-fi, I would guess, since that’s the direction of the current BSG show. If this is true, I could be sadly disappointed. I do like the politics…
This season is for TV is about salvaging the wreckage of the writers strike as well as coming up with some new stuff that people will watch while the country they know crumbles around them. So what do am I watching while the sky is falling? Mondays Heroes – This was one of my favorite…
OK, the big reveal is over. They made it to earth and it is a nuclear slag heap. Or IS it Earth? That’s the big question. On the bright side, at least it is not Earth in the 1980s. There is very little to analyze but I would say that this is not really Earth….
There was a scene in National Treasure 2 that really tweaked my historical and political sensibilities. I do not think anyone else would notice unless they were a student of history and federalism as our founding fathers intended. Gates (Nicolas Cage’s character) said that Lincoln (his favorite president) changed the way people saw the US….
May 9 – Speed Racer – OMG, this looks so campy and stupidly over-the-top. I liked Speed Racer as a kid but never really thought it could translate to the big screen. Only with the wonders of CGI is this possible. I’ll wait for DVD on this one. May 16 – The Chronicles of Narnia:…
