This weeks episode of Life Unexpected like every weeks episode was very well done.

Ghost Hunters: Ghostly Grace & The Palladium
Well, so far the latest disk of the second season of Ghost Hunters has been a disappointment. The episode Ghostly Grace & The Palladium had potential but both were a waste of time.
The first case was a visit to a residence. Those are always a waste of time. No …
The gone dead train
I watched the episode of “the gone dead train” last night when it aired. It has to be one of the best episodes of this season so far. With only two episodes left, I am glad to see that they are getting back to some really good episodes. This …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy versus Dracula
I finally got around to watching the 5th season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer today; starting with the first episode, Buffy versus Dracula.
It wasn’t a bad episode but not quite as good as I expected it to be.
As you can guess by the title, Buffy gets to face the …
Glee [Season 5 - Episode 3]
Hello, I never actually expected that I would write about glee, never in my entire life actually, but this episode was astonishing. Now, let me tell you why this episode was better than all of the other ones. I know that Cory Monteith[Finn] died and that is a sad …
Columbo: Murder by the Book TV Show
Murder by the Book is one of the early editions of the Columbo police detective shows. I remember mostly for Martin Milner’s appearance. There’s a great directorial shot early on that shows a car, Columbo’s, driving on the road and then it focuses up to the tower …
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Sqweegel TV Show
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Sqweegel is yet another story about a serial killer on the loose. There is something that makes this one different, but it sure feels like CSI is having troubles coming up with new tales to tell.
The intrigue comes when it is realized that local …
Stargate SG-1: Fragile Balance
Stargate SG-1: Fragile Balance is a very nice episode of the seventh season. In this episode, a teenager shows up at the SGC, claiming to be Jack.
Young Jack was played astonishingly well by Michael Welch, who ended up on Joan of Acadia. This actor had Richard Dean …
The Third Leaders’ Debate, UK general election campaign 2010
The third and final of the televised leaders’ debates in the weeks before the 2010 British general election was broadcast by the BBC and was primarily (although not entirely) to be on the subject of the economy, which was hardly surprising to me given that the polls consistently show …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 2.9: Complications
Wow, how the odd and shocking twists keep coming from left, right, and all around. First we have Sarah who is traumatized by the Cromartie incident from the last episode and is having nightmares (most notably those involving three dots which happen to be part of the blood-written wall …
Adam-12: The Parole Violator
One of the good things about Adam-12: The Parole Violator is that we get an outside look at Pete Malloy’s personal life and see how he contributes to the community in his off hours. In this case, he’s a basketball coach. I like how he approaches and …
John Doe: Mind Games TV show
John Doe: Mind Games is a good little story that begins with a woman and a young boy showing up on John’s doorstep and announcing that he’s probably the boy’s father. It’s another variation of the sperm bank story, but a bit more complex than normal.
I was impressed …
Kim Possible TV show
This kids’ show is great for kids. WHile the heroine, Kim, is a cheerleader, she also gets good grades, is a good friend to her friends, and saves the world through her website.
The best part of the show might be her best friend and sidekick Ron’s pet naked mole …
Supernatural Season 6 Episode 2: “Two and a Half Men”
This sixth season of Supernatural has really started off with a horrible start. All of the things I loved about Supernatural seems to have been changed around on me, where now I am feeling as though the show is missing the vital essence of what had made it so …
Naruto Episode 26 Subbed
This is the first episode of Naruto that is completely pointless, obnoxious, and downright nauseating. In my many rewatches of the show I always skip this episode. Instead of continuing the story this episode has Konohamaru and his two friends show up at the location of the second exam …

Gossip Girls TV Show
Oh wow. I adore Gossip Girls. I don’t understand though, how teenagers get to drink ALL THE TIME and never get carded. That’s the only thing. However, the production of the series is quality, I love the actors, and can’t wait to see what they do with season 3. …
Star Trek: The Menagerie: Part II TV Show
Star Trek: The Menagerie: Part II concludes this action. The Menagerie incorporates much of The Cage, the original pilot for this science fiction series. It was a great idea, and it fueled the desire for The Cage to be released as a show of its own. …
Scrubs: Our Couples
2 funny episodes in a row. I’m going to go ahead and take that as a good sign. It took a while, but these characters are starting to step up. Oh, I doubt they’ll ever be as great as the original crew, but no show has …
Stargate SG-1: Full Circle
Happy days are just about here again! Full Circle is the final episode of season six of Stargate SG-1, and Michael Shanks returns as Daniel Jackson. The opening scene is sheer heaven. Daniel talks to Jack in an elevator, and it’s just like old times. …

Ghost Hunters: Domani’s & The County Jail
After seeing the St. Augustine Lighthouse episode minutes before, the Ghost Hunters episode Domani’s and The County Jail proved to be a bit of a disappointment.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Episode 19 (Anime)

The Office Seasons 1 & 2
This is a great television show that I was turned on to by my sister who also likes the show. If you haven’t already heard about The Office, it’s a hysterical view of the Dunder Mifflin paper company. The head boss Michael Scott bases his work ethics on fun …
John Doe season 1 episode 1 pilot
You know Lincoln Burrows from Prison Break? I was wondering where have I seen him before and then I remembered seeing a first episode of a show called John Doe, about a man without past who knows everything about everything and everyone except himself. Dominic Purcell was also, in …
Cowboy Bebop Episode 6
Cowboy Bebop Episode 6 has the crew of the Bebop after a boy named Zebra who can’t age because of something that happened a long time ago.
This episode is very interesting because it takes a cliché plot line of the immortal human being and makes it a …
The Langoliers TV miniseries
I have to admit, although Stephen King is a favorite writer of mine, I have not read every single one of his books. One that I somehow missed was “The Langoliers.” I think I read the synopsis and for some reason couldn’t get sold on the idea.
I …

From May …
Have Gun - Will Travel: The Long Hunt

Doctor Who: Season 5, Episode 5: Flesh and Stone
We pick up where the last episode left off, with the Doctor and crew trying to venture through a crashed ship that is infested with Weeping Angels. Sadly, this episode isn’t quite as good as its predecessor, but it is a worthy conclusion all the same. Where …
