Let’s talk about Scandal and the use of the word ‘Gladiator.’
[cross-posted from Tumblr] So, I love Scandal. It’s great. It’s like one never-ending crazy drug trip where you never come down and you only get higher the more drugs you take. It’s the soap opera every soap opera wants to be when it grows up. However. Something has bothered me ever since the first episode. … Read more
Fall 2012 TV Round-Up: Fridays!
I feel no guilt at all for this post being so late, and that’s because the only show actually premiering tonight is Haven, and who cares about that one, really? Maybe you do and I’m being an asshole, but I don’t, so whatever. Anyway, the important thing to remember about Friday night TV is FRINGE … Read more
Fall 2012 TV Round-Up: Thursdays!
Oh, Thursdays. I still love you, even if Community and Fringe did get kicked out of your club, and even if The Office kind of sucks now (keeping our eye on this one) and it and 30 Rock are both ending this year. I mean, Scandal and Last Resort (if it lasts) are pretty good TV, … Read more
Fall 2012 TV Round-Up: Wednesdays!
Two of the three new dramas that I’m actually looking forward to air on Wednesday night (the third airs on Thursdays, if you’re curious, but that’s all I’m saying for now). Arrow and Nashville are completely differently shows, but I find myself almost equally excited for both. Arrow continues the quest to bring superheroes back … Read more
Fall 2012 TV Round-Up: Tuesdays!
There are approximately one million half hour comedies on Tuesday nights. It is entirely overwhelming. Remember back in the day when Thursday night was just the best night for TV comedy ever, and NBC was the place to be? Friends, Seinfeld, Cheers, The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Night Court, Wings, Frasier, Will & Grace, and … Read more
Fall 2012 TV Round-Up: Mondays!
I haven’t done a Fall TV round-up in a couple of years, but I was sitting around watching TV and reading . . . something, and then I had an urge for list-making, and we all know how that turns out. The urge for list-making is so powerful it even trumps my other top two … Read more
Some Thoughts about ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’
Just got out of seeing Snow White and the Huntsman and felt compelled to share some of my thoughts. And I have a lot of thoughts — most of them, just to warn you, are about Chris Hemsworth, Chris Hemsworth’s baby blue eyes, Chris Hemsworth’s hair, Chris Hemsworth being shirtless, and Chris Hemsworth. But I … Read more
Farscape Rewatch! — “Liars, Guns and Money,” Parts I-III
WEEK TWENTY-ONE [Permanent Archive Here] Oh, my God, it’s here! It’s finally here! I think part of the reason this post is so late (so very, very late) is that I have a hard time wrapping my head around this trilogy. (Also, that I am so very, very busy.) Obviously, the plot is pretty straightforward; that’s … Read more
Will They or Won’t They? A Peek Into the Castle Writer’s Room
[Cross-posting with Film.com because I had more fun writing this than I've had writing anything in years.] We open on a well-lit room, late morning. Eleven people sit at a conference table. They clutch hot coffee cups and fiddle with their notepads and electronic devices. There is a large whiteboard at the front of the … Read more
Pilot Watch (sort of): ‘Terra Nova’
I was planning on writing a review of Terra Nova here on Big Damn Heroes, but I was asked to write a recap of it over at Film.com instead. You can guys can follow me over there, like, if you want to or something, I don’t know. I’ll be writing weekly recaps of Terra Nova … Read more
