“Terminator: The Sarah Chronicles” Wee-View: Episode 1.4

February 6, 2008 – 11:55 pm

The Boob Tube Babe and I took turns shouting “Wallace!” while watching this week’s episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Probably not the reaction the show was looking for, but when you see a suddenly Afro-less, svelte-looking version of Veronica Mars‘ best friend, you rejoice. Well, you do if you miss Veronica as much […]

Making a list…

February 5, 2008 – 10:01 pm

..but don’t worry, not in a scary Jacob sorta way.
To say I’ve been mentally overwhelmed by the premiere of Lost is an understatement. I’ve not been a loss for words; in fact, I have so many that starting to write them down proved a challenge. Throw in the Super Bowl and the Beanpot tournament here […]

Dude…I’m an Uncle

January 27, 2008 – 8:39 pm

The Dude’s tired. Winter always gets to me, that New England phenomenon of “41 and grey” that lands atop Boston sometime just before Thanksgiving and stays through the start of baseball season. Just saps the energy, breaks the will, and sends the Dude towards Jack Daniels.
But The Dude has a better reason for his exhaustion […]

“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” Wee-View: Episode 1.3

January 21, 2008 – 10:34 pm

I’m telling you, if you’re on the fence about Chronicles, hop off. Just make sure you don’t catch your jeans on the way down, as its very likely you’ll run into a Terminator going through his own Extreme Makeover: SkyNet Edition.
I will readily admit that I grinned my face off when I saw that slug […]

“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” Wee-View: Episode 1.2

January 14, 2008 – 10:25 pm

Well, T:TSCC is 2-2 in terms of holding my attention for 40 minutes. (Commercials? Please. The Dude does not watch commercials. Unless they involve kittens.) Far from perfect, as with the pilot episode, but certainly more good than bad.
The Good
Every time River-Nator surprises Sarah with how much John loves her (as told through glimpses of […]

“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” Wee-View: Episode 1.1

January 13, 2008 – 9:22 pm

I have to say, I’m not sure if it’s the layoff affecting my critical judgments, but I can think of plenty worse ways to spend an hour than with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I’m hesitant to call it actually “good,” but as a pilot, it could have been a lot worse.
The show works best […]

“Reaper” Wee-View: Episode 1.11

December 5, 2007 – 9:56 pm

The addition of Bezel-Babe, to quote the eminently quotable Sock, provides a great new dimension to Reaper. They’d taken the “Sam pines for Andi” thing about as far as humanly possible without making either utterly pathetic creatures. Keeping the two of them apart for as long as possible will only help in the long run.
As […]

“Chuck” Wee-View: Episode 1.11

December 5, 2007 – 7:30 pm

With the Fall finale of Chuck, the show essentially rebooted itself back to square one. I’m not quite sure how I feel about that.
We ended last night with Chuck and Sarah merely friends, and John Casey patiently (if hesitantly) awaiting orders to kill Chuck once Intercect 2.0 reaches fruition. But we were here at the […]

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” […]

“Reaper” Wee-View: Episodes 1.7-1.10

November 27, 2007 – 10:24 pm

So it’s been a while since I’ve written anything about Reaper…but that’s nothing to do with loss of love over the show. Far from it. If anything, my enjoyment of the show has only grown. It’s just one of those shows for which maybe 2,000 words should be dedicated to entire season, not each individual […]
