How I Got These Scars No. 17
February 6th, 2009
With the recent announcement that ‘V’ is going to be revived, I thought that now would be a great time to revisit ‘Earth: Final Conflict,’ another series about a misleading alien relationship with humanity that ran from 1997 to 2002.
LOST – 5×04 – “The Little Prince”
February 4th, 2009
The following review contains spoilers for LOST through the current episode, “The Little Prince” originally broadcast February 4th, 2009.
Money. It all comes back to money, doesn’t it? Because of money (and, specifically, contracts), the big reveal of this episode was spoiled. Luckily for the viewers of LOST, the writers didn’t just have one surprise in store in this episode. But if not for money, the big one would’ve been a lot more exciting.
Fringe 1×13 “The Transformation” review
February 4th, 2009
The following review contains spoilers through the episode “The Transformation,” originally aired 2/3/09.
By any reasonable estimation, “The Transformation” marks Fringe’s growth as one of the most self-assured new series launched in the past few seasons. It’s still amazing to me that the same skepticism I’m reading now from follow patrons here at Lower Decks and the Observation Lounge message board I quite visibly shared in my early reviews of the show. Lately, especially since the “catch-up” reviews completed last month, I seem to have nothing but praise each episode. While that’s not exactly true, this week, that’s all I’ve got.
Heroes – 3×14 – “A Clear and Present Danger”
February 3rd, 2009
The following review contains spoilers for Heroes through the current episode, “A Clear and Present Danger” originally broadcast February 2nd, 2009.
After close to two months off the air, Heroes returned last night with the first chapter of its fourth volume, titled Fugitives. The episode was an adequate, if not spectacular, introduction to this new volume, setting the stage for the remainder of the third season. We now know broadly how Fugitives will play out, who the bad guys appear to be and what our favorite heroes are up to. Unfortunately, what “A Clear and Present Danger” appears to set up is a retread of what we’ve seen already. In that respect, it was a big disappointment.
Heroes Returns Tonight
February 2nd, 2009
Tonight at 9:00PM ET the fourth volume of Heroes (Fugitives) premieres on NBC. The fourth volume, encompassing the second half of the third season, will run thirteen episodes and wrap up on Monday, April 27th, 2009. Check back tomorrow for our review of the episode.
Legend of the Seeker – 1×11 – “Confession”
February 1st, 2009
The following review contains spoilers for Legend of the Seeker through the current episode, “Confession” originally broadcast the weekend of January 31st, 2009.
This was an interesting episode, one that explored a darker aspect of Confessors (in this case Kahlan), but it ultimately fell flat due to a fairly obvious plot and the introduction of Zedd’s brother. If one Zorander is annoying, imagine how annoying two Zoranders can be. All that yelling. On the plus side, there weren’t any precocious children in this episode.
