The X-Files: Season 2, Episode 22: F. Emasculata
This episode had a lot going for it. You had escaped convicts, a deadly virus, a government cover up, all the makings of a blockbuster mini-movie. Yet somehow, the whole was less than the sum of its parts.
I was going to nitpick the idea that …
House: Daddy’s Boy
This episode of House is about lying, but the thing about the thoughts brought up on house is that they don’t always give you a firm answer. Medical diagnosis is a yes or no proposition, being happy isn’t. Is House unhappy because of his leg, because he lost his …
Family Guy - Halloween on Spooner Street
While Season 9 of Family Guy has been sorely lacking in the department of humor and entertainment, Halloween on Spooner Street was one of the season’s episodes where humor was alive and well in the Family Guy universe. The humor that Family Guy fans have come to know and …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Becoming, parts one and two
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Becoming,” which is the season 2 finale of the series, is a two part episode. Today I’m going to tackle it as one whole episode instead. And, I have to say, while a bit weak in some aspects, it really does set the …

Warehouse 13 season 1 episode 5 Elements
This episode was based on a really great idea; a robe that makes you walk trough the walls. Isn’t that an interesting artefact? I really find it interesting although I am quite sure it would be used for bad purposes if it existed.
Calaudia, the girl who kidnapped Artie in …
A Certain Justice - Part 2
A Certain Justice - Part 2 was a bit slower for me than part 1 was. This story is from the P.D. James novel and uses the familiar character of Commander Adam Dalgliesh. As an American, I assume commander is a detective. That seemed to be …
The Unusuals TV show
When I first looked at the description of the TV show Unusuals before deciding if I wanted to watch it, it seemed very promising because of the actors cast in it. These are very experienced and talented actors who have proven themselves over and over again and were sure …
The Andy Griffith Show: Floyd, the Gay Deceiver TV Show
This 1962 outing of The Andy Griffith Show is far from a favorite of mine. In fact, I really don’t like it much at all. There are a few reasons for that, one of which is that I really don’t like outings where Howard McNear takes the …

MacGyver: Phoenix Under Siege
The Phoenix Under Siege episode of MacGyver is another good episode. It’s the return of Harry Jackson, MacGyver’s grandfather, as played by the talented John Anderson. It’s a special anniversary for the two, though not a pleasant one. It seems the two are planning to attend …
21 Jump Street - Swallowed Alive Season 3, Episode 9
“Swallowed Alive” may be one of the most intense episodes throughout any season of 21 Jump Street.

John Doe: The Mourner TV show
While not technically listed as a two-parter, that is in essence what John Doe: The Mourner is. In this first hour of a continuing drama, a serial killer dubbed The Mourner is on the loose. One of the kickers is that he’s using the symbol that is …
Highway Patrol: The Truckers TV Show
This April 1958 episode of Highway Patrol called The Truckers might be a little misleading with its title. It’s not about truckers as we think of them today; in fact, it’s really not about them much at all. The real focus is a husband and wife team …
Clifford:Mac’s Secret Dog Club

I liked …

The X-Files: Season 1, Episode 10: Fallen Angel
Man, what a contrast from the last episode. Where that one fell flat and didn’t really deliver any sort of tension or suspense, this one brings it in spades.
It manages to do this by upping the scale as Mulder races to uncover a crashed UFO. …
Before the Dinosaurs: Walking with Monsters (DVD)
The special affects in this series are truly amazing and you’d swear the extinct creatures racing across your TV screen are real. They look that genuine. This is also the third in the BBC “Walking With” series, the series that started with “Walking with Dinosaurs”. The creatures in this …

Sea Hunt’s third season saw an episode called Cross Current as it’s 19th outing. Airing in May 1960, this show had some very interesting movements in the water, with Mike Nelson drifting and being turned and tossed. We’ve seen some of this before, but I love the …

The Defenders: Nevada v. Cerbone TV Show
The Defenders: Nevada v. Cerbone had some real annoying moments for me. Mainly, it revolved around James Belushi and his character of lawyer, Nick Morelli. In this hour long episode, Morelli is on a diet, so he is frustrating and annoying everyone in his law firm.
Aside from …

Bones is an excellent new show on Fox. It is about a forensic anthropologist who aides the FBI in solving crimes. She is able to study bones (hence her nickname) and help work backwards to figure out what happened, who the person was, and who or what killed them. …
Seven days Season 2 Episode 1
As I have seen most of the episodes of the first season of show Seven days I knew, more or less, what to expect in seconds season. Actually I was expecting some little improvements because it usually happens that way. Then again, the first episode should also be a …
The Virginian: The Final Hour

Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Sacred Trust

The Beast: Hothead
The latest episode of The Beast, entitled Hothead, had some moments, but it’s suffering a bit from the odd, over-acting of Travis Fimmel, who plays Ellis Dove, the partner of Charles Barker, portrayed by series star Patrick Swayze. There’s just something about Fimmel’s look — it’s a smirk …

Human Target: Action Thriller TV Series
The promos and ads for Fox TV’s action/adventure series, “Human Target”, piqued my interest, but somehow I missed it when it debuted. I’m glad that I stumbled upon it when I was on Hulu.com and was able to watch the pilot episode, among others, before it was no longer …
