Spartacus and romans

I have long been a fan of Starz’s Spartacus, the performances and the plot told within a story so violent and adult is a god send to someone like me who has never quite understood our culture’s aversion to nudity, sex, and all things inexplicably Roman. While the show itself has had its detractors thanks [...]

Earlier this month Fox announced at the 2012 Television Critics Association winter press tour in Los Angeles that the new cartoon comedy by Jonah Hill, Allen Gregory will not be returning for a second season. Allen Gregory was a show with a huge ad campaign and was part of a production deal Fox signed with [...]

Something about the idea of bringing the original creators and all the original actors from the cult 2004 indie film, Napoleon Dynamite, to an animated series caught my interest. Even enough to write about it in a post. As I stated in that short article covering my thoughts on the concept, I didn’t much care [...]

It is odd to me that a series would dedicate itself to a genre style in which it is the most difficult to craft a good story. When it comes to cinema, the horror movie is most known for producing a ton of misses and the very rare hit. It is difficult to craft a [...]

Starz’s? What the hell? How am I supposed to write the possessive of Starz? I mean seriously, its not proper to add an apostrophe at the end like you would if the channel was called Stars’. Plus, no matter how you put it, it is essentially pronounced starsis, which just sounds retarded. Anyhow, that’s not [...]

Season 6 of Dexter is over, the final episode aired on December 18th and it ended on one of the biggest cliff-hangers yet. There were a lot of story threads that came into play during season 6 that served the purpose of setting up the next season, and if those story threads are anything to [...]

I know plenty of people out there will love to just say “Now!? It has always sucked!” and for that, I say, “Shut the hell up.” It may not have been your preference, but at one time it was damn good TV. While an over-produced musical TV show about incredibly talented teenagers that can easily [...]

Premiere Of Paramount’s “Star Trek” – Arrivals

That’s right, the great man from the original Star Trek crew has brought the fight to a proper enemy. Star Wars vs Star Trek has been one of the longest fought battles in all of geekdom. It was recently reinvigorated thanks to a few back and forth videos between William Shatner and Carrie Fisher. Many of [...]

Community Zombies

When NBC released their midseason schedule, there was a glaring omission from the line-up that has made me and many a fan of good comedy cry foul. One of the best comedies in years, Community, has been shelved. It has been shelved in favor of shows like Whitney, It’s Me, Chelsea, and some others. The [...]
