DollHouse: Impressions
Why do great shows get canceled? Can anyone explain that to me? Firefly? I still don’t forgive Firefly for being canceled. I never will forgive that. Not only did it make no sense, but it is a tragedy beyond the limits of space and time. Imagine the stories that could have been told! I think … Read more
Lost and the Problems with Endings (Spoiler Safe)
It’s length. That’s the problem with endings. The longer the art form, the harder it is to end it in a satisfactory way. Think about it. Do you feel bad when you stop looking at a painting? Nope. Why do songs end just fine? You listen to a song for two minutes. When it ends, … Read more
Netflixing: Fringe, Season One
My life, currently, consists of the following. Work and Not-Work. Not-Work is a catch-all because if I’m not working, anything that I do is basically the same thing because it isn’t work. It is good to have clear, confined definitions. What I enjoy doing, what I like to do more than working, is watching Science … Read more
V: Impressions

Is the Sarah Connor Chronicles getting too Emo?
I’m a big Sarah Connor Chronicles fan. Its sort of annoying how much I love serialized television, considering how little I get to sit in front of the television. The new episodes for the second half of the second season have been, well, a little disappointing. I like the cyborg-on-cyborg action and all the weird … Read more
The 2008 Jarvis Slacks Awards
Merry Christmas! Oh, by the way, its also time for the 2008 Jarvis Slacks Awards. It’s the awards where we celebrate all the insanity that we’ve witnessed over the last year. Was it me, or was 2008 the longest year ever? Yes, yes it was. I’m glad you agreed with me. Here are the words … Read more
The Wire Through The Wire…
Oh, The Wire. Why can this show be so good, and other shows be so bad? There is an excellent Commentary by John Blake, delving deep, oh so deep, into the awesomeness that is the Baltimore City Drama. If you never watched the Wire, I’m sure billions of your friends have begged you to do … Read more
