“Mad Men”: “The Beautiful Girls” recap

‘Sons of Anarchy’ Recap: ‘Caretaker’

September 21, 2010 – 9:52 pm

I hadn’t been exactly feeling the early part of the third season of “Sons of Anarchy”. Too many people, separated by too many seemingly insurmountable obstacles, burdened by too many haunted emotions. My brain was stretched too thin and my heart was weighed down too heavily. Throw in a host of new characters speaking an […]

‘Glee’ Recap: ‘Audition’

September 21, 2010 – 9:16 pm

As I’ve mentioned before here on the site, I’ll be recapping “Glee” on a weekly basis for the good people over at HitFix. This week’s episode didn’t particularly move me to either tears of joy nor tears of boredom, but it did highlight that a lot of what I didn’t like about the show last […]

‘Mad Men’ Recap: ‘The Beautiful Girls’

September 19, 2010 – 10:56 pm

How do you want to be remembered after you die? Hell, will you be remembered after you die? If life always ends the same way, in death, then what impact do you want to leave behind in your wake? When confronted with your mortality, do you embrace life or simply fear death? These and other […]

‘Nikita’ Recap: ‘2.0′

September 17, 2010 – 6:43 am

Honestly, if they called the show “Alex,” rather than “Nikita,” it might more accurately reflect the most intriguing character on the show so far. Nothing Maggie Q does at present moment takes anything off the table, but she’s not putting a lot down on it, either. But Lyndsy Fonseca? She’s bringing a multi-course meal at […]

‘Sons of Anarchy’: ‘Oiled’

September 14, 2010 – 9:58 pm

When “Sons of Anarchy” cooks on all cylinders, it puts its complex plot machinations to the way side and focuses on the complex characters that makes up its rival gangs. In “Oiled,” the show continued its necessarily heavy narrative lifting owed from the end of Season 2 to get things in Charming back to a […]

‘Mad Men’ Recap: ‘The Summer Man’

September 12, 2010 – 11:41 pm

Since I did a live blog of the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards already tonight, I don’t have the time not energy to write up a full review of tonight’s episode of “Mad Men,” entitled “The Summer Man.” But having watched it in the aftermath of the awards show debacle, I had to write down […]

‘Sons of Anarchy’ Recap: ‘So’

September 7, 2010 – 10:49 pm

At the end of tonight’s season premiere of “Sons of Anarchy,” all that was running through my head besides “OMG” was Ron Burgundy’s famous quip, “Boy, that escalated quickly… I mean, that really got out of hand fast.” And yes, invoking “Anchorman” to describe the horrible scene at the end of tonight’s episode, entitled “So,” […]
