Smallville: The End of the Beginning

Let me start this by saying that it was better than LOST‘s ending. But that isn’t saying much… Smallville has always been an uneven show. It had good years, bad years and worse years. It never had great years. It rarely had great episodes. They were there but there weren’t as many as one would…

TV Season 2010/2011 Diary #10

In the last few weeks I didn’t feel much like watching anything. But then the hill turned into a mountain. Luckily some of the series are pausing for some weeks and I decided to play catch up before I have to cross the Alps. Since this was a bigger marathon session I won’t talk about…

TV Season 2010/2011 Diary #9

Two and a Half Men 8×03 A Pudding Filled Cactus Alan really has become the new Charlie. Loved it how he handled the whole situation. The Big Bang Theory 4×03 The Zazzy Substitution And I thought Leonard was the one with the cat fixation when his love life took a dive. Sheldon and Amy are…

Better With You 1×01 / 1×02 Pilot / Better with Firehouse I watched the first two episodes but I don’t really get it. I think it has to do with the fact that I don’t see the irony in not being married and why that’s supposed to be a source for humour. What also doesn’t…

Life Unexpected 2×02 Parents Unemployed I hope that the Paige story goes somewhere and isn’t just swept under the rug. I have to admit I nearly didn’t recognize Emma “Anyanka” Caulfield but then it made *click*. Good to see her again, it has been a while. Though I must say the whole firing Cate story…

Smallville 10×01 Lazarus Why are fanboys unable to have a reasonably objective opinion on their subject? I wrote the following over at KryptonSite because they were all so overly ecstatic and gave that episode a 10/10. They would have given it 11 or more if they could have.. The only two things I really enjoyed…

Melissa & Joey 1×07 Up Close & Personal So now they start wading into WTWT waters. It’s okay. I enjoy watching them and that’s the most important thing in a sitcom, isn’t it? And it’s Hammer time! (Still) Cougar Town 2×01 All Mixed Up I enjoyed having Jennifer Aniston in this episode but it’s not…
