Nice Girls Posts

Emmy nominations were announced last week, and several Nice Girls faves got the nod (holla Simon Baker!) in the midst of the same ol’ same ol’. While I groused about the lack of Emmy love for True Blood (3 technical noms) and Chuck (stunt nom), I started to wonder if we’d see more new faces at the Emmys if they …

In Season 1, Torchwood introduced us to a team of five extraordinary men and woman who covertly work to keep Cardiff and the world at large safe from creatures that fall through the Rift. It was an exhilarating first season with creature-features, horror stories, long lost loves, star-crossed lovers, and brushes with past-lives from long ago – and several encounters …

The weekend is winding down and we’re relaxing with wizards and vampires and telepaths. Join us! Merlin – NBC 8/7c “The Gates of Avalon” – Arthur saves elderly Aulfric (Kenneth Cranham) and his daughter Sophia (Holly Grainger) from bandits, and then falls heads over heels for the young lady. In other events, Morgana, has dream in which she sees Sophia …

True Blood, Merlin, Lipstick Jungle, Sex and the City, Vampire Diaries. These are just a few of the recent television shows that were based on books, and have become popular shows we love(d) to watch. Often, we watch these shows and then we want to go read the books.

Happy Friday! Here’s how we’re wrapping up our week: Eureka – SyFy 9/8c “Your Face Or Mine” – Carter takes a grueling recertification exam that tests him physically and psychologically; Allison pitches a town-wide DNA-monitoring security system to Henry that injures Deputy Lupo during the inaugural scan.

When you are asked what your ideal picture of the “woman of television sci-fi” would look like, who do you see? Are you the person who sees Buffy Summers sprinting across a graveyard chasing after a vampire? Do you see Major (nee Colonel) Samantha Carter in uniform barking orders on some planet in another galaxy? Do you watch Sarah Connor …

We’re a little bleary-eyed after last night’s Harry Potter viewing, but totally worth it. Here’s what the Nice Girls are watching tonight: Burn Notice – USA 9/8c “The Hunter” – Michael learns he’s being targeted by an operative and soon after is kidnapped and taken to the wilderness along with a prominent player in Miami’s underworld. Elsewhere, Michael meets an …

Would we know the “face of evil” when we see it?  Or would we be seduced by the insidious whisperings of false faults, matched by seductive, soothing false promises?  This is the dilemma that Merlin grappled with in this past episode of “Merlin.” A beautiful bouquet of lilies is delivered for Morgana, but rather than being tidings from an admirer, …

It’s premiere day! The delightful Leverage returns for a second season on TNT, followed by the premiere of Dark Blue with the dishy Dylan McDermott. Can you stand it? Leverage – TNT 9/8c – SEASON PREMIERE “The Beantown Bailout Job” – In the Season 2 premiere, a newly sober Nate grudgingly reassembles the team in a scheme involving the Irish …

One of my favorite parts about most events around Los Angeles centers on the fact that the creative teams stick around to talk if you show interest in what they’re talking about. Panels are great, but personal conversations add something else to the experience all together. Monday night, I went with one friend to see today’s second season premiere of …
