As the title would suggest, this episode sees the team whisked away to Paris, France when supernatural activity erupts and decimates the tourist economy. This is one of the rarely mentioned perks of being a Ghostbuster. They’ve already visited a few locales and it is generally on …

Janine finally gets some vacation time, and uses it to bring Egon to meet her folks. I know that she’s crushing on Egon, but this seems to imply that they are in a bona fide relationship. Egon even says that he’s not ready to meet her folks. …

The synopsis for this episode filled me with dread. If there’s one concept in this show more loathed than Slimer, it’s the Junior Ghostbusters and this is the episode that plants the seed for that concept. I was all ready to hate this episode and bash on …

The Ghostbusters are called in to bust the ghost of Casey Jones, the legendary engineer who died in a train wreck a hundred years ago. This was a great episode, it was tense, it had plenty of character moments, great jokes, and very little of Slimer.
The spud does …

I knew from the title alone that this episode was going to grate on my nerves. It makes the horrid mistake of giving Slimer the limelight over the Ghostbusters in their own show. I don’t get why Straczynski always makes a point to try and justify Slimer’s …

The Ghostbusters are recruited by a police deputy to end his family curse and protect him from a ghost dog that rises on St. Patrick’s Day whenever there’s a full moon.
Continuing the trend from last episode we get a returning character in the form of the Harvey …

Peter’s con-man father returns asking for the Ghostbusters’ help. It turns out that he’s dug up an ancient relic in Alaska that is purportedly the prison of an ancient demon from Inuit legend. The team is skeptical, but the fact that Pete’s dad mentioned the demon by …

I first got hooked on Pretty Little Liars when my cousin handed me the box set of Season 1. Since that day I have been unable to turn it off. The show is amazing! Every episode is packed with action.
The show is about four …

Normally, I really like it when the show incorporates literature and mythology into the plot lines. As such, you’d think that I would’ve been able to get behind this episode as it centers around Arthurian lore. Yet somehow, this episode didn’t work for me as much as …

While not on the same “end of the world” level as the previous two episodes, this episode managed to give the team a pretty interesting challenge that tested their abilities as much as any deity ever did. It starts with the team attempting to bust a ghost at …

The Ghostbusters find themselves battling the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Oddly enough, they weren’t quite the menaces that I had hoped they would be. They don’t really do anything. We hear talk of chaos erupting all over the world, but we don’t see much of …

The Ghostbusters find themselves dealing with more hauntings than they know what to do with. Despite running themselves ragged all over town, the jobs keep piling up and the phone won’t stop ringing.
The mention of Gozer was a nice touch. Unlike with Cthulu, where they …

When a billionaire philanthropist transports an old Irish castle to Manhattan, it causes a fair amount of trouble. As it turns out, there are hundreds of spirits in there and they aren’t too keen on letting people in. Every time somebody enters, they promptly get thrown out …

The Ghostbusters are hired on as consultants for a horror movie. It seems like a simple gig, but things get bad fast. Considering how many stories there are of haunted sets and “cursed” shoots, you might think that this is where the plot is going. As …

The Ghostbusters find themselves the unwilling subjects of a news expose. The fact that the two are apparently set on exposing the group as frauds doesn’t really help matters. I did like how they tried to remain impartial while only asking questions that painted the team in …

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 …

With the agents back on the X-Files, they dive back into rhythm with a monster of the week case. After the huge three parter that came before it, you might think that this would pale in comparison, but it is actually a very well put together episode that …

Concluding the three part extravaganza, this episode manages to maintain all of the things that worked about the previous episode, while toning down on the stuff that didn’t. The pseudo-philosophical narration is still here, but it doesn’t play as large a part as it did when Mulder was …

This episode largely deals with the fallout from the previous issue. Mulder is presumed dead and Scully is in hot water with her superiors for her insubordinate actions. While they say that she’s only on extended leave, Scully is convinced that her days at the FBI are …

This episode is a letdown, really that’s all there is to it. Between the fact that it follows up the extra-ordinary “Soft Light” and comes right before the season finale, you’d think that this would be a big episode. Sadly, the opposite holds true and the whole …

While this isn’t exactly what people mean when someone says that a person is afraid of their own shadow, the phrase still remains apt here when talking about Dr. Barton (a scientist who got bombarded with dark matter in an accident), and with good reason. This episode is …

This episode finds the team battling a banshee. I love the fact that different mythological aspects get worked into the show. It makes for a nice variety and it adds a certain depth and complexity to the Ghostbusters world. The good news is that, as banshees …

Where the last episode was a highly enjoyable piece of light-hearted fluff, this episode goes for an epic blockbuster level of story. The entire world is in danger and the threat is on par with Gozer himself. Heck, this one might actually outdo Gozer on some levels. …

After the heavy, serious tone of the Cthulu episode, we get a more lighthearted adventure. It may not be as epic as the last episode, but it is certainly enjoyable in its own right. In fact, the humor is actually quite welcome.
This episode takes the team to …

The Ghostbusters battle Cthulu, really do I need to say anymore? That alone makes the episode a win and, to wit, it was amazing to boot. Seriously, there is nothing to complain about. There was humor, the Lovecraft mythos gets a nice little love letter, and …

This episode was starting off promisingly enough, we setup the idea that a man has been riding his horse and buggy for a hundred years trying to get home and finding himself unable to do so. We have an ominous menace in the mysterious rider who pursues him, …

The group is hired by a mysterious man to visit their small and isolated town to take care of a vampire problem. Even though they don’t deal with vampires, the team decides to go through with it as the man offers them a person’s weight in gold coins. …

This episode had a lot going for it. You had escaped convicts, a deadly virus, a government cover up, all the makings of a blockbuster mini-movie. Yet somehow, the whole was less than the sum of its parts.
I was going to nitpick the idea that …

A rich, greedy old man wants to make sure that his fortune stays with him. As such, he constructs a device that opens a doorway between our world and the spirit world and allows him to transport physical matter from one side to the other. Not surprisingly, …

After the epic and action heavy previous episode, we get a more comedy focused plot that manages to be wildly entertaining, even if the world doesn’t hang in the balance. The plot here concerns gremlins, who are wreaking havoc in an auto manufacturing plant. The team is …

For a plot concerning occult rituals and demonic pacts, this episode was surprisingly light. That’s not a bad thing, I was just expecting it to be a bit on the darker side. In any event, this episode is fun, if a bit weird. Even the episode …

I’m going to go ahead and review a television show that had recently come to and end; NBC’s “Chuck.” But I’m going to look at it through more of a personal aspect… this show is very easy to relate to, which is what makes it such a pleasure …

This episode was certainly a drastic shift from others that had come before it. While humor would occasionally spring its head in the form of some deadpan quipping or a funny comment from Frohike, we never really saw it manifest itself to this extent. Even more impressive …

This episode had promise, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to it. It had all the makings of a solid stand alone, isolating the agents, giving them a ticking clock against an unnatural enemy, and even allowing for some character conflict, but the execution wasn’t as good as …

I remember this being one of the first episodes of “The X-Files” that I ever watched. I also remember not being all that impressed by it. That view still holds up to this day. It’s not terrible, by any stretch, but it isn’t particularly memorable, especially …

Picking up on the cliffhanger from the previous episode, this takes all the momentum gained from its predecessor and manages to keep moving at a brisk pace. It manages to tie up all the loose ends and manages to up the scale of the show.
This episode had a …

After a fairly lengthy hiatus, the show dives back into the overarching alien conspiracy plot line. While the monster of the week episodes are enjoyable, I think that they put too many between myth arc episodes. The story line is already noted for being rather complicated, and …

We follow up an episode dealing with a Satanic cult with one that deals with voodoo. This episode could’ve very easily felt like a pale rehash, but it does enough differently that it is able to differentiate itself from its predecessor.
I wasn’t sure about this episode …

After dealing with a force of pure evil in the form of Donnie Pfaster, the agents find themselves once again battling such evil, only this time it’s in the form of the freaking devil. Oh yes, Mulder and Scully are investigating a Satanic cult and the result is …

With this episode, the agents face a horror unlike anything they’ve ever seen. Interestingly enough, there is no real X-file, on the contrary, they are pit against what they refer to as a “death fetishist”, someone who collects trophies (such as hair or fingernails) from dead bodies. …

I have really got into these reality series shows. Being in the UK we will be behind in the scheduling of the programmes, but I have now managed to see all series of the New York ones, as well as the Miami and some of the Jersey ones. This …

This wasn’t the first Real Housewives series that I started watching, but so far it is the only series that I have seen every episode of. The UK TV channel ITV2 has shown the whole series back to back from Mondays - Fridays an episode a day, so I …

I mentioned before how I liked that this show incorporated various mythologies into their story lines. This takes that idea and kicks it up to eleven. It centers around a horde of demons trying to steal the shears of the Fates to try and take over the world. …

When the will reading of a best selling mystery writer gets interrupted by the ghost of said writer, the Ghostbusters are called in. As it turns out, she seeks only to reveal the ending of her last, unfinished book before she moves on to the next world or …

I was going to bemoan the fact that the episode opens with the Ghostbusters suffering from slow business. After all, that was a plot point in the last episode, but luckily, it gets quickly tossed aside as the plot gets underway.
I do mean underway in one of the …

The Ghostbusters are experiencing a financial drought. There have been lulls in business before, but this seems to be one of the more serious cases as they are buried in debt and there don’t seem to be any new clients coming in. Egon speculates that there may …

Bleach is an anime show.
The main character, Ichigo, gets new powers from a girl that saves him and enters a new dimension called Soul Society. Ichigo fights through the ranks of the new society to rescue the girl and succeds.
Ichigo and the girl share a strong bond of …

Naruto is an anime show based on a character named Naruto. I used to like this show because it had good fights but I don’t really watch it anymore.
First of all, the name is really unoriginal. They named the show by a character. I don’t understand Japanese so perhaps …

Full metal Alchemist is an excellent show by Funimation. I’m literally getting chills just thinking about it.
The story is about 2 boys who study an ancient science-like art called alchemy. Alchemy can deconstruct and reconstruct matter. The story is a great concept. The main phrase that they use …

You know, I was enjoying this episode quite a bit for a while. The mystery was intriguing, Terry O’Quinn was fun to watch. While this was pre-John Locke, I’ll always identify him as that character from this point on; it’s just how my brain works. There …
