Nice Girls Talk

Warning: Some speculation about Dollhouse ahead. I’ve been avoiding most spoilers (I know, that’s so unlike me), so you should be pretty safe here, but I felt a warning was the responsible thing to do. We’re three weeks into the latest Whedonverse product and I’m reading quite a few negative, or at least less enthused than they expected, reviews from …

If this were a normal Wednesday night in February, I’d be happily awaiting for every one of my shows in anticipation of what would be a great series of episodes. Instead, thanks for the digital conversion prospect, I’m spending my night hoping for at least one show to air so I can catch something new. With Sweeps having moved, the …

For the purposes of this column, I’m going to have to out myself as a full-on Lord of the Rings fan/groupie. I absolutely adored the film trilogy and was completely wrapped up in LOTR-mania from 2001-2004. I attended midnight screenings for FOTR and TTT; I attended Trilogy Tuesday to see FOTR and TTT extended editions on the big screen and …

At the recent New York Comic Con, Joshua Jackson had some interesting things to say about his character, Peter Bishop, on Fringe. He mostly talked about Peter’s relationship with his father, the crazy, wonderful, scary, Walter Bishop. Now, I know that Walter is crazy, and that crazy can be a bad thing, but Walter is still my favorite character on …

Originally, after my weekend at Gallifrey One, I was going to talk about my time there, but instead of that, I’m using some small amount of energy I have to talk about what I watch when I’m sick. Sadly, the convention is notorious for making everyone sick, but I suppose it didn’t help that I was already getting to that …

So, did you watch it? I know slightly less than 5 million viewers tuned in for the Dollhouse premiere, but I was there and I’m hooked. (Freakish side note: Just as I finished that sentence, BethAnne IM’d me about having just finished watching the pilot and told me, “I’m hooked.” Further proof that we share a brain.) We were given …

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles returns tonight on its new night. It’s funny that I’m more a fan of the series than I am of the movies. I didn’t hate the movies, but I didn’t really get into them like most people who watch this show. I think I care more for the characters that Josh Friedman is creating more. …

A little over a month ago, I had the chance to talk to some of the actors involved with Dollhouse, specifically Tahmoh Penikett and Harry Lennix. Sadly, I’ve been holding out on the transcripts until now, but with the show about to premiere, hopefully everyone can forgive me. Without further or do, there are the questions I asked each of …

My column is a day late and it’s not because I didn’t have anything to write about, it’s because there’s so much to write about that I haven’t had time to cram it all in under deadline! Trying to keep up with Fox’s Dollhouse rollout has my head spinning. I was meant to have posted an article about the conference …

Normally, I’m all for innovative TV watching, which should explain why I watch so much each year, but there’s been one example of “new” viewing that fell flat. NBC chose to air Monday’s Chuck in 3-D. Normally, I’d be all about the spy world being forced at me more than is normal, but the truth is that I didn’t enjoy …
