Nice Girls Talk

We Nice Girls have been around for a while now, and I feel like this is the point where I can share something without feeling shamed. No, it’s nothing horrible, just a basic fact that seems right so share: I rarely watch TV without the recommendation of my friends. Of my current list of TV shows (those still on the …

It’s been an interesting weekend. I spent most of Friday night-Sunday afternoon spring cleaning and painting, leaving me sore and exhausted. Then I came down with a mild case of food poisoning that turned my Sunday night-Monday morning into a less-than-enchanting time period. Fortunately, TV was there to soothe my aches, pains and nausea. Since subscribing to DirecTV in December, …

It’s no secret that Joss Whedon is a hero here at Nice Girls HQ. As if pimping Dollhouse for months prior to its debut wasn’t enough of a clue, we have a (possibly annoying) habit of gleeing over various Whedon alumni whenever we encounter them on the airwaves or in real life (see: Comic Con). So you’ll understand that I …

For the life of me, I don’t know how this information finally got to me, but it has turned an otherwise boring day right around. I’m pretty sure my love for for a former Veronica Mars cast member isn’t unknown here (if you listen to the radio shows, it makes sense) and today came news that Jason Dohring has been …

I know, last week I complained about not having any shows to watch, but this week happened and I realized the one good thing about hiatuses: time to rewatch old favorites, pick up new shows, or venture into the line outside of the boob tube. During the usual December/January hiatus, I finally sat down with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and …

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 …
