‘Fringe’ 4.20 Recap: “Reverse Impact”

‘Fringe’ 4.20 Recap: “Reverse Impact”

Looks like I was right on the money about that flash-forward episode of ‘Fringe’ having basically no significance to anything. This past Friday’s new episode ignored it completely and got back on track to moving forward with the actual storyline of the season. That’s fine by me.

TV Madness: Mulder vs. Angel – Buffy vs. Mackey

TV Madness: Mulder vs. Angel – Buffy vs. Mackey

It looks like Cameron and Jack Bauer will easily pull off victories in their respective TV Madness matches. I thought that I should go back to check out how the Brisco County, Jr. and Ben Linus battle turned out. It seems that Brisco pulled off what I’d consider an upset, by five votes. Today, we have Fox Mulder going up against Angel while Vic Mackey battles Buffy.

‘Game of Thrones’ 2.05 Recap: “Hard Truths Cut Both Ways”

‘Game of Thrones’ 2.05 Recap: “Hard Truths Cut Both Ways”

“Anyone can be killed,” Arya Stark ominously reminds us in a scene from this week’s episode of ‘Game of Thrones’. That line could practically serve as author George R.R. Martin’s mission statement for the series, as he’s fond of demonstrating.

‘The Killing’ 2.06 Recap: “Anybody Tell You That You’re White?”

So, the person that Teri got into the car with at the end of last episode of ‘The Killing’ was… Well, I’m not going to spoil it here. Bonus View regulations state that you must click through the page break to see the juicy bits. Red tape everywhere!

TV Madness: Morgan vs. Cameron – Bauer vs. Morrow

Friday’s TV Madness match-ups are still too close to call at the time of this writing, but it looks like Raylan Givens might put Cordell Walker out of the tournament. (Thank goodness!) The battle between Ben Linus and Brisco County, Jr. is still neck-and-neck, though. We’ll have to see how that shakes out this afternoon.

Captain’s Blog: Course Set for the Calgary Expo – Maximum Warp

Likely by the time you read this post, I’ll be on my way from Winnipeg to the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, western Canada’s largest pop culture convention (second largest in all of Canada) on April 27th to 29th. This year, the con is also ground zero for the first of only a handful of special events around the world celebrating the 25th anniversary of ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’.

‘Veep’ Pilot Recap: “The Level of Incompetence in This Office Is Staggering”

‘Veep’ Pilot Recap: “The Level of Incompetence in This Office Is Staggering”

At this point, I think that HBO really ought to just give everyone formerly associated with ‘Seinfeld’ his or her own half-hour comedy series. Larry David has been on board for the past decade, and now Julia Louis-Dreyfus joins the network family with the political satire ‘Veep’. Based on the first episode, this one’s another winner.

TV Madness: Locke vs. Echo – The Tick vs. Nine

Michael Westen started out slowly in the TV Madness voting on Monday. It appeared that Al Swearengen would get the best of him. But then, out of nowhere, Westen piled up the votes and easily took the grizzled Wild West politician out of the running. In other news, MacGyver faced defeated at the hands of Worf.

‘Awake’ 1.08 Recap: “It’s Kind of Hard to Explain”

Did anyone else notice that last week’s episode of ‘Awake’ didn’t feature any murders? Isn’t Britten supposed to be a homicide detective?
