Stargate SG-1: The Quest Part 2
Stargate SG-1: The Quest Part 2 was the beginning of the final ten episodes of SG-1 and the conclusion to the mid-season two-parter.
Here is the good and the bad:
–Daniel with Merlin is great. This is a reminder of who Daniel really is and why we love him. …
Stargate SG-1: The Quest Part 1
Stargate SG-1: The Quest Part 1 is the mid-season cliffhanger meant to keep us waiting with baited breath for the second half of the season.
SG-1 is hot on the trail of Merlin’s anti-Ori weapon, and their goal is to get their before Ba’al does. They join up with …
Stargate SG-1: Company of Thieves
Season ten of Stargate SG-1 plods forward with an episode called Company of Thieves. About the best moment here is when Daniel is in control of the Odyssey. Of course, he’s flown the Prometheus and various Goa’uld vessels, so commanding the Odyssey should be a piece of …
Stargate SG-1: Memento Mori
What rally angers me about this review is that I can’t give it a zero, because I’d really like to. It is just one inch away from being about as low as this show could go.
In Stargate SG-1: Memento Mori, Vala disappears and the team is frantic to …
Stargate SG-1: Counterstrike
It’s back to the worst with Stargate SG-1: Counterstrike. This episode is what I call the bonding show. It’s the one where Daniel and Vala are supposed to bond some more. Where can I throw up? Daniel tells her about Sha’re and that history, in …
Stargate SG-1: 200
Stargate SG-1: 200 was the celebration of Stargate SG-1’s two-hundredth episode and unlike the show done for number 100 which was for the crew, this one was more for the fans. An important thing to point out, per the producers, is that this show really doesn’t happen. …
Stargate SG-1: Uninvited
Stargate SG-1: Uninvited is the second show without Michael Shanks in it for the tenth season. He’s definitely missed, but the show isn’t that bad. In truth, having Vala around makes the Jonas Quinn character of season six almost acceptable. I think I’d rather watch his …
Stargate SG-1: Insiders
Stargate SG-1: Insiders is the first of four shows during the season that is without Michael Shanks. As the star of the show, Shanks had learned from the former star, Richard Dean Anderson, and he’d negotiated for these weeks off so he could be home for two important …
Stargate SG-1: The Pegasus Project
Stargate SG-1: The Pegasus Project is the best show of season ten and my rating is going to pretend that the Vala character doesn’t exist. Any time she shows up, it drags the show down to a zero, so when I can, I’m going to ignore her, and …
Stargate SG-1: Morpheus
Stargate SG-1: Morpheus is one of the better episodes of season ten, and it’s one of the few where we really get to see Sam and Daniel together. In this episode, the team go to a planet and become victims to a sleeping sickness. To stay alive, …
Stargate SG-1: Flesh and Blood
Stargate SG-1: Flesh and Blood is the season ten opener for this show that aired on the Sci Fi Network. This would be the last season for the series, and it’s really a pretty bad one in my opinion.
At the end of season nine, calamity had struck, and …
Burn Notice - Sins of Omission
Burn Notice has been on the USA Channel for a couple of years now, but I’d never really given it a big chance until Michael Shanks guest starred on a show last year. This season, Michael returned for three appearances. The first was just a small bit …
Stargate SG-1: Camelot
Season nine of Stargate SG-1 comes to a dramatic close with an episode entitled Camelot. Naturally, it’s a cliffhanger with the conclusion being the opener of the tenth season.
The worst thing about the episode is Claudia Black’s return as Vala, standing very pregnant as she watches destruction unfold. …
Celebrity Apprentice - 2009 Episode 1
The Donald is back again for another season of Celebrity Apprentice, and it promises to be equally as weird as the first year, only this year, the women are made up of a lot of females I’ve never heard of, versus just a few of those last year.
When I …
Stargate SG-1: Crusade
Stargate SG-1: Crusade is definitely not a favorite show. The biggest problem with it is that Claudia Black is back as Vala, and that’s a sure sign of disaster. The horrid premise has her in the Ori galaxy using a device to contact the SGC, and in …
Stargate SG-1: Arthur’s Mantle
Stargate SG-1: Arthur’s Mantle is a good episode that has some nice moments in it. While working on an experiment, Sam and Mitchell are thrust into a different phase where no one else can see or hear them. Sam theorizes that Daniel should be able to see them …
Stargate SG-1: The Scourge
Stargate SG-1: The Scourge is one of the better and more intriguing shows in the ninth season of SG-1. In it, SG-1 is ordered to escort members of the IOA Committee off-world where things naturally go wrong. The fun starts in the gate room when Daniel and …
Stargate SG-1: Off the Grid
In my last review for the episode called Ethon of Stargate SG-1, I mentioned that one of the reasons that shows in the final two seasons of the series were poor was because of the lack of attention to SG-1 as a result of the powers that be working …
Stargate SG-1: Ethon
Stargate SG-1: Ethon brings the return of Jared Kane from the season eight episode, Icon. That’s the episode where Kane’s wife became a little too fond of Daniel. She’s not in this episode, the character having died as she refused to embrace Origin.
Basically, Kane’s world is worse …
Stargate SG-1: Stronghold
From the near perfect to ridiculousness, this is the path season nine of Stargate SG-1 has taken. In Stargate SG-1: Stronghold, there is one plot that is so unbelievable that it stunned me.
Mitchell has a friend who is dying. This guy was his competition, so it goes, …
Stargate SG-1: Ripple Effect
Stargate SG-1: Ripple Effect is hands down the best episode of the entire final two seasons of this series. While not perfect, it was fun, and it let us revisit with much-loved characters on the show.
In essence, SG-1 gets diverted to an alternate reality, as do numerous other …
True Beauty
Tyra Banks decided she needed something else to dazzle us with, so she produced a reality show called True Beauty in the first couple of months in 2009. The premise here is that a group of models compete to be America’s most beautiful person. That’s what the …
Dancing with the Stars 2009 - Week 1
Dancing with the Stars 2009 - Week 1 was an okay show. The show is getting a reputation now for star injuries, and this season two contestants didn’t even make it to the first show. Both Jewel and Nancy O’Dell had to withdraw for injuries.
Jewel was replaced by …
American Idol 2009 - The Top 13
American Idol kicked off their top 13, and 13 was a first for the hit reality series. This year is the first time the top 12 grew by one to be 13, though after Anoop, the singer responsible for the addition had judge Simon Cowell saying that after …
90210 show
90210 new episodes premiered on the CW on March 30, 2009. The episode that played on March 30, 2009 featured many character changes and made me change my opinion of many of the main characters.
Silver: What was she thinking with that movie. Obviously Dixon would be upset …
Man vs. Wild show
This show named “Man vs. Wild” is one of my favourite shows on Discovery channel. It is the most important show, which we should follow. This show is starring by Bear Grylls. In this show they show us some wild destinations, and they teach us that if we get …
Supernatural TV Series
Is it horror that you want? Ghosts, monsters, demons, angels and cute hunters. Then the TV series Supernatural is what you need to watch. It’s a story of two brothers who hunt demons and other paranormal creatures. They solve bizarre cases that no police and investigator can. What so …
Samurai Jack show
I love to watch cartoon shows, and I just enjoy it very much. Few years back a new show came on “Cartoon Network” channel called “Samurai Jack”. When I first watch this show I felt love with this cartoon. It is different from all kind of “traditional” carton show …
Serial Experiments Lain Episode 4: Religion
First things first, in regards to the theme song (which I’m still digging). The group is from Britain, they aren’t American like I said in the review for the first episode. Ok, on to the review.
This show manages to go back and forth between nonsensical and downright …
Serial Experiments Lain Episode 3: Psyche
I don’t know what’s going on! I’m so confused!
There are voices talking to Lain, not really saying anything, just talking. She receives a mysterious item in her locker called a Psyche that enables total immersion in “The Wired” basically its an advanced internet.
The idea of Lain …
Serial Experiments Lain Episode 2: Girls
Whoa, just whoa. This show is rather creepy. It made sense this time around, and there was plot rather than randomness.
Lain is still trying to figure out the deal with the emails. The other girls in her class try to draw her out of …
Serial Experiments Lain Episode 1: Weird
This episode is titled “Weird” and boy does it live up to the name. It’s not as imcomprehensible as I thought it would be, but it’s still pretty bizarre.
For the first seven minutes or so we don’t even have a plot, just a seemingly random collection of mini-scenes. …
SmallVille
When I was a child, I just love to watch Superman, and till now I love to watch him. And this TV show called “Smallville” is based upon the day today life story of Superman. Watching his normal life is really cool, and I am watching this series from …
Colin and Justin’s Home Heist
Television is saturated with home improvement and renovation shows so the only way not to become bored is to watch the ones that have some unique aspects to them or to be hosted by designers who have extraordinary skills and personalities. Justin and Colin certainly fit the description of …
Supernatural 4.17 It’s a Terrible Life
I’ve maintained for some time that Supernatural is one of the best shows on TV. It’s up there with Venture Bros. for me. This episode was a fine example for that. It was funny, had great character moments as well as being creepy.
It was a …
Smallville 8.17 Hex
This season has been a real return to form. This episode was no exception. The addition of Zatanna is always a nice thing and Serinda Swan played the part quite well.
I had a few quibbles with her at first but they were taken care of …
Rescue Me series
Rescue Me is a phenomenal television program, expertly melding the genres of comedy, drama, and brief snippets of action into a seething, emotionally driven and, at times, flat out hilarious portrayal of life for New York City firefighters, especially in the midst of the tragedies of 9/11. Actor/ Comedian …
Chuck (TV Series)
Chuck is a great comedy and action show that airs on NBC on Monday nights at 8EST. Chuck revolves around the life of Chuck Bartowski. Chuck is working at a Buy More (similar to Best Buy or Circuit City), where he lives a very uneventful life. …
The Golden Girls show
How on earth did some of the discussion on the Golden Girls manage to sneak by the censors? Maybe it was because the show featured four acclaimed actresses then in their golden years so the innuendo and raunchiness snuck by them or immobilized them completely. All I know is …
TV : Dead Like Me
When George Lass (Ellen Muth) is hit and killed by a toilet seat plummeting towards earth, she is instantly taken as a reaper, one of those post-death individuals relied on to take the souls of people before they die. The quirky series lasted only two season but in that …
Murder She Wrote
Why does everybody seem to die around Jessica Fletcher? This question plagued my childhood when watching Murder She Wrote, every Sunday before the dreaded school day Monday reared its ugly head, was tradition.Surely, someone would notice, be it the first Sheriff played by Tom Bosely or his replacement. …
Stargate SG-1: Ex Deux Machina
Stargate SG-1: Ex Deux Machina was a weird sort of season nine entry for the science fiction series. In fact, the ending is one of those things that people would ward off as being science fiction, so I guess in the end, it makes a weird sort of …
MTV Asia
Most people are into music, and movies. For those who does enjoy music, we always have a lot of options and of course this includes logging on to music sites, listening to radio stations, play your own dvds, and of course watch MTV. For most of those who love …
Ghost Whisperer 4th season
I am into ghost whisperer, a series by Jennifer Love Hewit. This has been going on for like 3 seasons already. I followed through this series from season one and I guess watching up until episode 6 of the 4th season, I can say I like this season more …
Kap’s Amazing Video
It is Sunday today, and as expected there are few tv shows that I am looking forward to watch. More often, I feel there is even nothing worth watching at all. My mom was browsing through the channels and well, she chanced upon the show in Channel 7, Kap’s …
Psych: Earth Wind and Wait for It
I missed the new episode of Monk on Friday night but did manage to catch the Psych episode “Earth Wind and Wait For It.”
While it wasn’t half bad, it also wasn’t the best I’ve seen.
This episode had Shawn and Gus investigating a series of arsons that revealed dead bodies. …
Bones: Fire in the Ice
Wow, two new episodes of Bones in a row and both aren’t half bad.
While not as good as the first one, which involved a murder at a circus, the episode “Fire in the Ice” still managed to be interesting.
You have a fireman who played hockey against Booth who is …
Bones: Double Trouble in the Panhandle
The last few episodes of the show Bones have been a bit dull compared to what the series previously offered. So, I was pleasantly surprised last night when the show returned to TV with an episode entitled “Double Trouble in the Panhandle.”
In my opinion, everything about this episode was …
Psych: Any Given Friday Night at 10 P.M.
While better than the Monk episode that preceded it, Friday night’s Psych episode “Any Given Friday Night at 10 PM” was another weak attempt to put together a good episode with a football theme in honor of this weekend’s Super Bowl.
I’m not sure which is more dumb; having players …
Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs
While I appreciate USA Network trying to put a football theme behind it’s more popular shows this weekend in honor of the Super Bowl, I’m not sure the Monk episode “Mr. Monk Makes the Playoffs” is really all that good.
I’m not sure what exactly the problem was but I …
