The 2012 Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo has come and gone. Legions of fans came to celebrate the 25th anniversary of ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ and meet the entire cast of the classic television series, but to say that the event was embroiled in chaos and confusion would be an understatement indeed.

We’ve come down to the final 16 characters in TV Madness. It’s been a long, hard battle for most of these combatants. Some surprises have emerged – like Sylar defeating Captain Kirk by two votes. Today, we start off the round of 16 by pitting Buffy Summers against Michael Westen.

In our last TV Madness battle, poor Hulkster met his match in Jonas Blane. I have to say that I’d never have thought such a badass person could come from a show on CBS. In the other match-up, it looks like Capt. Kirk has a slight lead on Sylar. Not too many votes separate them, though. I’ll keep an eye on this one.

Perhaps riding a wave of good will since ‘The Avengers’ hit theaters, David “Bruce” Banner/The Hulk easily took out the chiseled, muscular Hercules in our last round of TV Madness. In the other match, sheer brawn and determination won out over firepower as Spartacus decapitated Sonny Crockett before he could get to his gun.

The premise behind ‘Awake’ leaves me with a lot of questions. In a pleasant surprise, the show has actually answered a few of them. We learned last week that detective Britten repeats each day of the week twice as he bounces from one reality to the other. Here’s my latest question: Does he feel rested when he goes to bed in one reality and wakes up in the other? Does he actually sleep in between, or is he constantly awake somewhere? If he sleeps, what does he dream about?

How much fun is it to watch Tyrion Lannister slap jerkwad King Joffrey in the face? He hasn’t had the opportunity to do that since early in the first season of ‘Game of Thrones’, but he gets another chance this week, and we the viewers can take great delight in watching it happen again.

I was beginning to think that my copious note-taking during each episode of ‘The Killing’ was distracting me from whatever emotion and suspense had been building in the show. This time around, I decided to forego taking any notes, and instead sit back and let Veena Sud’s perpetually rainy Seattle wash over me. My plan worked. Sort of.

‘Fringe’ aired the first half of its two-part season finale on Friday. Admittedly, it’s probably not fair for me to judge the episode until I can see how all of its plot points play out in the second part. However, at this moment, it sure feels like a gigantic, unwieldy mess, and perhaps one of the most frustrating episodes that the show has ever aired. Considering that this is ‘Fringe’ we’re talking about, that’s saying a lot.

As I thought, Wednesday’s TV Madness battle between Fox Mulder and Angel is going down to the wire. It’s too close to call as I write this. However, I can definitely say that it looks like Buffy will take out Vic Mackey with relative ease.

Several weeks back, I asked a mostly-rhetorical question about whether detective Mike Britten in ‘Awake’ relives each day of the week twice when he bounces between his two waking realities, or whether he skips days from one to the other. I didn’t actually expect this to be answered, but, surprisingly, last Thursday’s episode provided us some insight in that regard. Poor Britten suffers a really long work week.
