TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 16: Dark Side of the Moon

April 26, 2010
Supernatural

Supernatural continues its meticulous deconstruction of Dean in the 16th episode of its fifth season, “Dark Side of the Moon”. The episode’s plot is relatively simple: Sam and Dean are killed by hunters angry at Sam starting the Apocalypse. In Heaven, Sam and Dean are told by Castiel to look for Joshua, an angel who… Read More TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 16: Dark Side of the Moon

TV Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 18: White Tulip

April 18, 2010

As Aaron would say, there are no plot holes in Fringe. Now while this is not always the case (and Aaron might have been a little sarcastic), “White Tulip” certainly doesn’t seem to have any plot holes, which is rather unusual for a story about time travel. It’s a normal evening; harried workers are heading… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 18: White Tulip

TV Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 17: Olivia. In the Lab. With the revolver.

April 11, 2010

It was one of the shortest hours on television in, well, a week. It was so short in fact that when someone mentioned there was only 10 minutes left, I checked three watches before realising that he was right – it was already 21h50 and there was only 10 minutes left in the episode. You… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 17: Olivia. In the Lab. With the revolver.

TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 13: The Song Remains the Same

February 6, 2010
Supernatural

If fan forums can be trusted – and if you choose yours carefully, they can be – this was one of the most anticipated episodes of the season to date, even more so than the season’s premiere. Spoilers had come out a couple of weeks ago regarding billing in this episode, and we knew the… Read More TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 13: The Song Remains the Same

TV Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 14: The Bishop Revival

February 2, 2010

Weddings are stressful enough already without having something kill off 14 guests and bridal party members. Unfortunately, this is what happens to the Milton-Staller couple in the beginning of this episode of Fringe. The only clue we have as to the identity of the perpetrator of the crime is a young man, somewhere in his… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 14: The Bishop Revival

TV Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 13: What Lies Below

January 23, 2010

A man walks into the offices of a petroleum company; first, his nose starts bleeding, then he starts sweating profusely, soon he becomes disoriented; a few moments later, he falls to the floor, dies, and before anyone around him can react, what looks like blood sprayed out of his mouth, falling on all those gathered around him.… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 13: What Lies Below

TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 11: Sam, Interrupted

January 23, 2010
Supernatural

It’s finally back! The blogosphere, fan forums, and Tumblr have been buzzing for days; January 21 isn’t only the one-month mark after the winter solstice, but also the return of Supernatural. Obviously, expectations were high, and the episode left some people happy and many others disappointed. Personally, I am quite pleased with this episode; while… Read More TV Review: Supernatural, Season 5, Episode 11: Sam, Interrupted

TV Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 11: Unearthed

January 20, 2010

It was rather amusing, watching this episode of Fringe and simultaneously reading the reactions of viewers on online forums and in chat rooms. Apparently they hadn’t done their homework, for most of them didn’t know that this was an unaired episode from Fringe’s season one, rather than a new episode from season two – which… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 2, Episode 11: Unearthed

TV Review: Ugly Betty, Season 4, Episode 3: Blue on Blue

January 20, 2010
Ugly Betty

Ugly Betty used to be at the very top of the TV game, consistently delivering amazing episodes week after week. But, although it’s episodes do display a certain level of quality that is lacking in many other shows, it’s last season delivered too many lackluster episodes for it to be able to surpass the high… Read More TV Review: Ugly Betty, Season 4, Episode 3: Blue on Blue

TV Review: Ugly Betty, Season 4, Episode 10: The Passion of the Betty

January 9, 2010
Ugly Betty

Unlike many of the other shows I follow, Ugly Betty didn’t leave us hanging before the winter break, which made me wonder: were they certain of their fanbase’s loyalty, or had they run out of ideas? Only the quality of episode 10 would give us an idea of the thinking that went behind that decision,… Read More TV Review: Ugly Betty, Season 4, Episode 10: The Passion of the Betty
