Halloween on Sahar’s Blog: Fans’ Real Love for The X-Files, Fringe, and Supernatural

Let’s be honest: while fans love the scare factor in The X-Files, the real reason that they keep coming has nothing to do with the paranormal.  The keep coming for the same two reasons fans of Fringe and Supernatural return: the relationship between the main characters and the deeper concepts each show touches on. In… Read More Halloween on Sahar’s Blog: Fans’ Real Love for The X-Files, Fringe, and Supernatural

Book Review: Fringe Science: Parallel Universes, White Tulips, and Mad Scientists, edited by Kevin Grazier

From Sahar’s Reviews’ Vault During seasonal breaks, fans of shows can be seen doing many things to get over the emptiness of their weekly television slot.  And while many fans hate them, I for one love hiatuses because they give me a chance to touch base with fellow fans to discuss in more depth than… Read More Book Review: Fringe Science: Parallel Universes, White Tulips, and Mad Scientists, edited by Kevin Grazier

TV Review: Season 1 of The Mindy Project

Do you remember Kelly Kapoor from The Office? I always looked forward to seeing her on screen and wished for her to be more present, despite the fact that I found her character so gratingly annoying. It reminded me of my love-hate relationship with George Costanza on Seinfeld. It was the acting made the character… Read More TV Review: Season 1 of The Mindy Project

TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 9: Black Blotter

Fellow Fringe fan and my dear friend Monica was right; reviewing this episode was quite the trippy experience, for lack of a better word. Most of this episode was enhanced by Walter taking LSD giving this exploration of his guilt and fears a very unique taste typical of this sort of ‘special’ episode Fringe is… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 9: Black Blotter

TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 15: Subject 13 – Part II

Although we have long ago guessed it and even described it (sometimes at length…), it’s interesting to finally see how Walter’s guilt developed and where it stemmed from. By the same token, it’s interesting to see where Walternate’s current determination and drive stem from. While Season 2’s episode “Peter” showed Walter’s real intentions – i.e.… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 15: Subject 13 – Part II

TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 16: Os – Part II

In the first part of this review, I touched on Walter’s current state of mind, how he is coming apart at the seams and how he is choosing to blame it on Bell’s absence and the surgical removal of his brain tissue rather than to look at all the resources he has at hand, namely,… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 16: Os – Part II

TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 17: Os – Part I

While this episode in itself was one of those Fringe episode that future fans of the show, in a hurry to find out what is going to happen at the end of Season 3, might be told to skip, I found it fascinating because of the oft mentioned storytelling prouesse of the production team. The… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 17: Os – Part I

TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 18: Bloodline – Part I

The third explosive season of Fringe continues and, because of the vagaries of life, I am quite behind on the show. Others are ranting and raving about the season finale, and I am only at episode 18. On the one hand, I am dying to know what is going to happen and what everyone has… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 18: Bloodline – Part I

Fringe‘s Executive Producers on the Success of Their Show: Part I

Fox has really been great in the last two years, about giving members of the press the opportunity to talk to cast and crew of many of its shows. Then again, seeing the enthuasism of some and the relative ease with which one can organize conference calls, it doesn’t come as that big a surprise.… Read More Fringe‘s Executive Producers on the Success of Their Show: Part I
