It’s rare for any show to expect the people who watch it to think, and rarer for a cartoon, but The Clone Wars on rare occasion attempts just that. This episode is based around a small tribe of people who want peace at any cost.
They are willing to abandon …

Synopsis: This hour-long episode is a sequel to Blue Harvest and Something, Something, Something Dark Side. Much like the two episodes before it, it spoofs the Star Wars trilogy by poking fun at the film Return of the Jedi.
What I liked about this episode: A lot of Star Wars …

The pilot for the new series, My Generation, takes a look at the class of 2000, beginning with a video yearbook opening. This was somewhat attention getting as it still has the usual characters for high school and colleges, like the beauty queen and the jock.

The 39th show of Highway Patrol’s second season on the air was called Rabies. I don’t like the title because I’m an animal lover, and I don’t want to see any animal hurt. It’s just something I don’t enjoy seeing. At any rate, the show opens …

Much like with “Humbug” we get a stand alone episode that puts a larger emphasis on humor than on eeriness or creepy atmosphere. Also like the aforementioned episode, this one works really well. This is in no small part, due to Peter Boyle’s portrayal of the titular …

Another season 2 episode of Ghost Hunters and another disappointment for me.
Once again, the TAPS team is called in to investigate a house (which are always a waste of time) only, this time, we get to see Jason’s hometown in the process.

From 1958, Sea Hunt: Girl in the Trunk is a bit of a different story, and that’s partly what makes it interesting; that is, interesting to a point. What was a potentially good and different show turned into a murderous soap opera, and that was sad and disappointing.
The …

In all honesty, I have never liked The Wish Child episode of MacGyver. This second season entry just doesn’t appeal to me at all, even with a decent cast that includes Tia Carrere and George Takei. Carrere is actually only in the beginning and end, but she’s …

This episode was very interesting and it gives Aramaki more character development as we learn more about him. …

Although this episode did not involve any super dramatic events or incredible mysteries; the way it was shot made it really amazing. I think the most amazing aspect of it, was the way they filmed it. The camera and editing style have managed to deliver a real sense of, …
