Subtle Bluntness

Since I’m reviewing V for Den of Geek (here’s the second episode review!), I’ve been reading a lot of other responses to see what people are thinking about the show.  I figure, if they have problems that I’m not seeing, I can look for those issues.  If other people are having problems with certain aspects [...]

If there’s one thing I learned from the response to my review of The Fourth Kind, it’s that people love the phrase “The Fourth Kind is cat poop and onions.”  I thought I had included something about chocolate and peanut butter and two great tastes, but I guess I didn’t.  Or I did and my [...]

So, have you guys been watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles? I’ll be honest; it’s been pretty awesome. It’s had a few rough patches, but what show doesn’t? Week after week, it’s been the best new sci-fi series on TV this year, and I’d go so far as to say the best sci-fi TV series [...]
