While this episode is Daniel-centric, I cannot make up my mind whether I really love it, hate it or am stuck in between. I think it’s the latter. Even though I am a huge fan of the character Daniel Jackson and his portrayer, Michael Shanks, there are …

I have seen the Halloween special “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” more times than I can count considering it’s been on the air since before I was born. But, last night was the first time my oldest daughter got a chance to watch it. She loved it.

Supernatural is without a doubt the best thing to come along in paranormal horror in a long time. Having begun in 2005, it is still airing in 2011! That is true staying power.
Supernatural has become one of those show that I really can’t stand to miss. It has …

The second episode of Coupling was better than the first, but it still felt like old jokes. Again, the first few minutes of the episode were weak, but they got into the better part sooner and there were some laughs there.

Stargate SG-1: The Powers That Be continues the forced journey into Vala land, a place I really don’t want to go. The only good thing is that she’s dressed in BDUs, thereby finally covering the part of her body that she so unmercifully thrusts upon viewers way too …

The focus of Whoopi: Is Rita Pregnant? from February 2004 was on Courtney’s girlfriend, Rita (Elizabeth Regen), and the possibility that she might be pregnant, something that makes Courtney’s sister cringe.

Rose and The Doctor arrived back to London, although The Doctor wanted to take them back to the …

Critics said that this was one of the more convoluted episodes thus far and, man, they were not kidding. This episode throws a lot at you. As you’re watching it, it all seems to flow and make sense, but looking back, it was an odd and twisty …
