I’ve been meaning to write about this for a couple of days now, but haven’t found the time for it until now. And while the immediacy of the post’ll be lost, compared to what it’d been if I’d written it when I should have, I feel it has to be said:
I’ve used to make fun [...]
Posts filed in Television stuff
A description for this category?
I thought it was self-explanatory. Oh well, if you’re so daft, I guess I’ll have to spell it out for you: A post tagged “Television stuff” is a post containing some mention of the apparatus we refer to as “television”. Be it TV-series, films on TV, other kinds of shows, or just about anything that’s in some way related to television.
Dalek!
Doctor Who 2005
One of my flatmates claimed that the series featuring Christopher Eccleston as the ninth incarnation of the Doctor, wasn’t all that bad. So now I’ve watched the first episode of this thing — my first encounter with Doctor Who since I accidentally came across an episode from the 70s, a couple of years ago.
And my [...]
Seeing Red: A Case in the Study of Joss Whedon, Sadistic Genious
This has got to be one of the best worst minutes of television I have ever seen. Observe, if you will, these four moments:
1. Bliss, as Buffy and Xander make up and embrace.
2. Dread, as Warren appears, toting a gun.
3. Grief, and/or anguish, as a stray bullet from Warren’s gun penetrates Tara’s chest, and her [...]
Ironic distance to “Buffy”? I think not…
Usually, when I’m watching a movie, a television show, or anything like that, I’m keep something of an ironic distance. I tend to laugh at things, to make fun, and to generally not take things seriously. Or, at least this applies when I’m watching something with others.
However, for a couple of nights now, I’ve been [...]
The Lords of Television Be Praised!
“Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip” — the show with TV’s third cheesiest title, after “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “The Bold and the Beautiful” — will return to American screens with episode 17 on Thursday, May 24, 2007!
And there was much rejoycing!
BSG season 2
It’s taken me a while to get back on track with this show, but now I’m finally ready for season 3. And boy, I really am ready. For this was one hell of a season finale.
Can’t wait till I’ve got my hands on season 3.
“Prepare to jump. But we will be back.”
Babylon 5, season 2
Season two of “Babylon 5” opened with something of an outrage, as they replaced one of the main characters. At first this annoyed me, even though I didn’t think I liked the replaced character much, and the replacement seemed even duller than the original one. However, as time progressed, I realised that both replaced and [...]
2007-04-27 — Quote of the Day & Bab 5
Morden: “What do you want?”
Vir: “I want to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike, as a warning to the next ten generations that some favours come with too high a price. I would look up on your lifeless face and wave, like [...]
Blog Challenge #… I honestly don’t know. Let’s call it “#1 after restart” (or just AR for short).
As can be seen from my blogroll, I intended to keep track of and participate in the Blog Challenge, but that never happened. So when Zhayena posted a new challenge at the NC blog, it didn’t take me long to decide to join.
The challenge is supposed be writing about a scene in a book or [...]

“You!”
Peter!
Parkman!
Linderman!
Bennett!
Hiro!
Wow. o.O
Memo to self:
If possible, try to watch at least parts of “Terry Jones’ Barbarians” on Discovery Civilizations tomorrow at 18.40. Also, try to find out if this is GMT or CET.
Babylon 5 — Season 1
I finished the first season of Babylon 5 last Friday, and so thought I’d try to jot down a few words about it. I’ve done my best to avoid any spoilers, and I like to think that there’s not many of them, and that the few that are, are so vague that they’re hardly spoilers [...]
Television Shows — What Else Is There (Time For)?
Sigh.
I just sat down to plan which TV shows I’ll watch in the next couple of months, and I currently feel as if I’m in the infamous time squize, or whatever one should call it.
Because first of all, I have over half of season 4 and all of season 5 of Angel left to watch [...]
Babylon 5: The Gathering
Almost two months after I began downloading Babylon 5, I’ve finally gotten around to actually watch it. Following Loki’s recommendation, I watched the pilot-movie first: “Babylon 5: The Gathering“. And although I have some complaints, I thought it showed a lot of promise.
First, the complaints. Of these, the acting might be the biggest one, as [...]
It’s The End Of The World As We Know It — AS5×22 Not Fade Away
That’s it. The end. And what an end it was.
By the time Angel said, “Well, personally, I’ve always wanted to slay a dragon,” I was sobbing — half laughing with joy, half crying from grief. Where the ending of “Chosen” just left me with a general feeling of relief and joy, where the only things [...]
The Plot Thickens — AS5×21 Power Play
If I’m not mistaken, ”power play” is a hockey term, and describes the situation when one team has one of its players in the penalty box, meaning that the other team has the benefit of having one player more on the field. Or ice. Or whatever it’s called. Thus, it is a fitting title for [...]
The Second Fake Buffy — AS5×20 The Girl In Question
I never quite know what to make of the main Angel and Spike plot of this episode. While being indubitably entertaining and nicely fan indulging, I feel like it would have fitted better earlier in the season, perhaps not too long after “Destiny”. Why? Because the previous episode ended on such a dark note, with [...]
Oooh, looksie! An Organic Time machine! — AS5×19 Time Bomb
Wow. These past two seasons have been a roller coaster. Not in the meaning of greatly varying quality, but more in the sense that they have been continuously entertaining and good — thrilling all the way, with lots of ups and downs, emotionally and atmospherically speaking.
As you’ve probably guessed, I think this applies to this [...]
“I learned that from my father” — AS5×18 Origin
Geez, this is an awesome continuity episode!
Not satisfied with just locking Sahjahn (who’s always cool by the way) in an urn, the Creators had to bring closure to his part of the story, as well as do the same for Connor. After all, they can’t have the poor boy out there all by himself, brainwashed [...]
Maybe Suburbia’s Hell After All — AS5×17 Underneath
Although not on par with the last couple of episodes, there’s no denying that this, too, is very good television. There’s a lot of dialogue, and not all that much action to speak of (with the notable exceptions of Uzi Insanity and the Chain Gang Demon), something which it seems like the writers and Joss [...]
