Looking Back, and Looking Forward – Just like Dr. Who (Carol)
Greetings, Watchers. I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season – it isn’t over yet.
Last week I said I was planning to watch “A Christmas Carol” for the first time in a few years. As it turned out, I ended up watching a completely different version: the Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol, broadcast this weekend on BBC America. Read More »

Fringe, Friday 9:00 p.m., Fox (Carol)
I loved this episode! Couldn’t you just feel Olivia’s despair as she went through her apartment for her clothes and bedding, throwing them in the washer and ultimately collapsing on the floor sobbing? Anna Torv hit the mark perfectly portraying someone suffering from the ultimate identity theft, with everyone, including the man she is in love with, not guessing the truth.

Fringe, Thursday, 9:00 p.m., Fox (Carol)
The good news: our Olivia is back. The bad news: Fauxlivia got away, and poor alt-Broyles paid the price. I thought the suspense was really handled well in this episode, as it really was not clear what was going to happen and how. What did you think?

The Walking Dead, Sunday 10:00 p.m. EST, AMC (Brit)
I have to say I liked the episode tonight much better than last week. There was more drama and action.I think what caught my attention the most (which I never noticed before) were the sound effects. Pretty disgusting, and I kept expecting to see a comic book style dialogue box saying, SPLOOSH, GURK or SPLUK.

The Walking Dead, Sunday 10:00 p.m. EST, AMC (Brit)
The Walking Dead has been renewed for another season. The plan is to air the new season this time next year. Call me crazy, but that seems like a huge amount of time to wait when the series has such good ratings. Will people still be interested after a year has passed, or will the show lose the momentum it has gained?

The Walking Dead, Sunday 10 p.m. EST (Brit)
This episode began with Merle, the redneck, chained to the roof with Walkers trying desperately to break through the door. I was surprised to feel a little sympathy for him because I know he is mean and nasty and will cause all kinds of devastation when he is freed. So I am actually a little disgusted with myself.

Another Place, Another Time, and No Place You’d Want to Be: The Return of Fringe, a Love Letter to Eureka, The Walking Dead, and Todd
Fringe, Thursday, 9:00 p.m., Fox (Carol)
So, were we glad to have Fringe back, or what? I really do love the show this season. The weird thing is, I am enjoying the alt-verse even more than “ours.” Read More »

No More “The Gates” (Carol)
Well, folks, it appears that The Gates has been officially canceled, according to reports from the show’s actors. I am really sorry about this. Though it was not my favorite, I hate to see any decent genre show get the axe. I liked that the show used a combination of hidden and open supernatural worlds. Read More »

Haven, SyFy (Brit)
The season finale aired Friday, and this week SyFy announced that the show renewed for a second season. I thought the last episode was great. It was full of twists and turns and shocking revelations.

After a break for the holiday weekend, Haven was back this week with a brand new episode and in my opinion it was the best one yet. They just keep getting better.

Watchers, this week we will reminisce about beloved shows that have left us, though they may live on in syndication or on DVD.
For me, there will never be another Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That show combined great characters, pitch-perfect humor, and supernatural elements both cool and scary. Read More »

Greetings, Watchers. This week we have two goodies for you: True Blood and Haven.
True Blood, 9:00 p.m. EST Sunday, HBO (Carol)
So, I have just come off of a marathon viewing of Seasons One and Two of True Blood over the last couple of weeks. I love the show, and would like to share my thoughts and observations regarding the visual version of Sookie’s world. As you read this, please keep in mind that at the time of this writing I have only seen Seasons One and Two of the show and have only read the corresponding first two books of the series.
