“Heroes” Recap: Episode 3.6

October 20, 2008 – 9:57 pm

Hey, welcome back, Heroes. We’ve missed you, what with all the sucking and being generally terrible for the last year and a half. This week’s ep wasn’t a home run by any stretch of the imagination, unless you compare it to its recent predecessor, in which case this was like The Godfather knocking up Star […]

State of the Show: “Heroes” 10/13/08

October 13, 2008 – 10:01 pm

OK, didn’t recap Heroes last week, so here’s the State of the Show as of tonight: I’ve come to the conclusion that looking for anything other than escapist fun is fruitless. Season 1 featured some incredible character work, but all that has ceded to the particular Volume in which the show deals. Historical precedents are […]

“Heroes” Recap: Episodes 3.3

September 29, 2008 – 10:49 pm

What if you could have one super power? What would you choose? Would it be flight? Super strength? Invisibility? I used to wish for “super metabolism,” but have settled upon “the ability to craft Mohinder better voice over dialogue.” Because Jesus H. Sylar those things are horrible. If Heroes were truly hoping to gain my […]

“Heroes” Recap: Episodes 3.1 and 3.2

September 22, 2008 – 10:53 pm

So, is Heroes back, ladies and gentlemen? Well, it’s certainly back on the air, that much is certain, with Volume III: Villains. But did it shake off its Season 2 malaise and regain the narrative propulsion and fun of the first season? Well, not exactly. But it’s still leaps and bounds more entertaining already, with […]

Chuck Season 2 Preview

July 28, 2008 – 11:07 pm

I forgot how much I liked this show until I saw this.
God, the Fall can’t come fast enough. This, new Heroes, and The New Adventures of Old Christine.
OK, well, two out of three ain’t bad.

Ever wonder what might be in it? I sure did.
So I took a peek while he was moping in the corner, and here’s what I found.

“Heroes” Recap: Episode 2.11

December 5, 2007 – 8:30 pm

Look, we all make mistakes, people. Let’s remember that at the outset. At one time or another, we all do something that we regret in the cold light of day. Maybe you yelled at someone you shouldn’t have. Maybe you didn’t let that little old lady take your seat on the train. Me? I once […]

Boob Tube Tired (Tired!)

December 4, 2007 – 10:24 pm

The Boob Tube Dude is exhausted. Like, Hurley after participating in the Ironman Triathlon tired. Like, Peter Petrelli after trying to grasp BC calculus tired.
So, another day without a Chuck Wee-View or a Heroes recap. I know, I know, all six of you are crushed.
I’d give Chuck a 6.5/10 and Heroes a 5.5/10, with “Generations” […]
