TV Madness: Kent vs. Gavin – Nikita vs. Banner

TV Madness: Kent vs. Gavin – Nikita vs. Banner

Color me surprised. I didn’t expect Steve Austin to get killed off by Brisco County, Jr., but that’s just the way TV Madness works sometimes. In the other match-up, Jonas Blane easily handled Detective Olivia Benson in order to move onto the second round.

TV Madness: Austin vs. County, Jr. – Blane vs. Benson

It was a tough battle in Wednesday’s TV Madness, but it looks like Seven of Nine will pull out the win against B.A. Baracus. Another tough-as-nails female makes it into the second round. As was predicted, Chuck Norris easily beat Tom Mason to a pulp. Somehow Mason got six votes, though. We assume those six people have all been roundhouse kicked in the sternum for going against Chuck.

TV Madness: Baracus vs. Nine – Walker vs. Mason

Monday’s TV Madness showed just how hard it can be for characters born in the distant past to go up against foes from the present and future. With the help of guns and cyborg parts, Vic Mackey and Cameron the Terminator were able to move onto the next round, defeating Zorro and Eddard Stark.

‘Game of Thrones’ 2.02 Recap: “Cold Winds Are Rising”

‘Game of Thrones’ 2.02 Recap: “Cold Winds Are Rising”

If we’re to take the title ‘Game of Thrones’ literally, I suppose it’s inevitable that some episodes of the show will focus mainly on moving the players around the game board. Such is the case with this week’s episode, which spends more time maneuvering the characters into position for big events to come than letting them actually do anything.

‘The Killing’ 2.03 Recap: “Nobody’s Happy”

Down, down, down we go into a hole of depression punctuated by the infinite Seattle rain. Terry summed up the mood on ‘The Killing’ with one line: “Nobody’s happy.” Indeed.

TV Madness: Mackey vs. Zorro – Stark vs. Cameron

We’ve had quite a lot of close races in the TV Madness tournament, including last Wednesday’s match-ups. While Omar Little easily bested Michael Knight, Angel and Sarah Walker ran a neck-and-neck race, which at the time of writing this is too close to call. We’ll see how it shakes out by the time Monday afternoon rolls around.

‘Awake’ 1.06 Recap: “What Exactly Is So Great About Seeing Reality For What It Is?”

‘Awake’ 1.06 Recap: “What Exactly Is So Great About Seeing Reality For What It Is?”

Is detective Mike Britten insane? That’s the implicit question behind the premise of ‘Awake’. This past Thursday’s episode decided to address that topic head-on. More importantly, it made Britten himself address it head-on. Is he ready to accept that possibility?

‘Fringe’ 4.17 Recap: “Nothing Says Badass Like a Flying Rat”

‘Fringe’ 4.17 Recap: “Nothing Says Badass Like a Flying Rat”

I like that ‘Fringe’ has given extra attention to some of the show’s supporting characters this season, such as the episode that focused on Astrid not too long ago. Friday’s new episode put the spotlight on Lincoln Lee, and it’s another strong character piece.
