COMMUNITY: Conventions of Space and Time

COMMUNITY -- "Conventions of Space and Time" Episode 404

I find the arrival of this episode very fortitous after the show’s delay because it comes just after Gallifrey One, a well-respected and well-attended Doctor Who convention in Los Angeles. As “Inspector Spacetime” is a very awesome homage to that show. But now I feel really awkward watching this opening as Troy and Britta are watching an old episode before …

For two days at Los Angeles City College last week, fans of NBC’s Community gathered to celebrate a show that has meant so much and defined so much of their understanding of television and the media. Organized by a fan after the success of PixelDrip’s “Six Seasons and an Art Show” over the summer in Los Angeles, the con was …

COMMUNITY: History 101

COMMUNITY -- "History 101" Episode 401

So it feels like I’ve been away from Greendale far too long. Like I took a semester off school and just sat around my house doing nothing (well almost nothing) and now that Community is back, I feel like my world is complete and I can feel good about leaving my room for a few hours every day. Though, I …

COMMUNITY: Pillow Forts, New Showrunners, and More

For a show that might owe its fans six seasons and a movie, Community knows how to rise from the ashes of near cancellation and bring out scores of dedicated fans for a Friday morning panel in Ballroom 20 at Comic Con. In a room that was filled with a few thousand Firefly fans as well, the panel bridged the …

DON’T TRUST THE B–Mean Girls… and Dating Games…

News today has suggested that ABC will not be airing any further episodes of Don’t Trust the B–, so these recaps for last week will be a fond farewell… I worry about the continuity of this show as now June doesn’t have a job again? What happened to that last one? June, after Chloe’s had another busy night, convinces Chloe …

DON’T TRUST THE B– Recap: A Weekend in the Hamptons; Paris; The Scarlet Neighbor

This are all very late, and for that I’ll apologize first and foremost. Nothing like a dying DVR before the New Year and a very busy week with events in LA. But here we are, back with recaps of Don’t Trust the B–. In the interest of saving reading, they’ll be recapped weekly now, so expect them Wednesdays from here …

LEVERAGE: The Toy Job; The Long Goodbye Job

Since TNT announced last week that Leverage was not being picked up for a sixth season, I’m going to combine the final two episodes into one recap. It also has more to do with some horrible planning on my part with delayed watching. The Toy Job kicks off our an unnamed person trying to get access to files in a …

LEVERAGE: The Corkscrew Job

It seems that our evil person of evil this week owns or operates a winery, at least if we can believe the workers on the grapevines as any indication. Nothing like a little take down of corrupt boozers. The guy who fell on the job died from “heart failure” and his daughter is nervous. She also has a very large …

DON’T TRUST THE B–: Bar Lies…

There’s something odd about seeing the same story-telling technique two weeks in a row. But there’s a good thing in seeing James really excited about going on Dancing with the Stars. Chloe is telling “bar lies” which are things to get free drinks from bartenders. James plays along too to get Chloe a drink as Katie Holmes’ cousin. Chloe’s keeping …
