Well, maybe that’s what it takes for some chicks

Megan McArdle is telling men how to get their wives into watching science fiction. I was struck by this:
You just have to explain it right.
If by “explain it right,” you mean “tell them they get to watch Nathan Fillion.” Include fantasy in there, and “explain it right” means “tell them they get to watch Nathan […]

Please arrive today. Pleeeeeeease.

We finished season three of Buffy last weekend, and we’re waiting for all seven seasons of it and all five seasons of Angel to arrive (the first three seasons of Buffy are borrowed) in the mail. They’re actually coming regular mail, so we’re really hoping we get at least one series today. Meanwhile, we’ve been […]

So American Idol finally ends, and up pops another obsession.

I mean, I can’t even stop watching. Every time an episode ends, I turn to Frank and say, “Can we watch another one? Please? Kthx.” But at least with this obsession, I don’t have to blog about it immediately or anything like that. No one is waiting to see what I have to say, whereas […]

It’s not what you think!

*I think it would have been really funny if, when Callie walked into Joe’s Bar, the Chief stood up and said, “Callie! It’s not what you think! I’m not having an affair! We’re Cylons!”
*I love how Roslyn pwn3d Apollo at the Quorum meeting. I didn’t love it so much when he pwn3d her back.
*Callie should […]

I know you anxiously await

But we still haven’t finished AI. Tonight we watched LOST and Smallville. Do you think Allison Mack felt completely ridiculous yelling upward in the Fortress for Jor-El? “Jor-El? Um… just standing here looking stupid… so if you could just, um, show yourself or do something dramatic, I’d appreciate it. K thanks.” The journal at the […]

That was just cruel

The whole Jin flashing back / Sun flashing forward thing. Cruel, cruel, cruel. I knew something was up when Jin’s cell phone looked like an old old cell phone. But then hey, Sun’s having a baby, and Jin really needs that panda! And then when the guy said it was the Year of the Dragon, […]

early dinner

Wow, we’re actually eating before 7:30! I’m just stopping in briefly to tell y’all my LOST theories before we watch tonight’s episode. We can discuss what actually happens later. As always, expect spoilers.
Ok, so someone is going to die, and I read that it’s going to be tonight. I think it’s Desmond, but I think […]

So… why not trade Ben for the helicopter?
LOST S4E2

Whoa. The whole Oceanic plane is in the ocean? That’s crazy. I blame the Dharma people. Or the island. Maybe it’s the toner monster in disguise. So they found this near Indonesia. Is the island near Indonesia?
Daniel Faraday, huh? I don’t believe he’s there to rescue them.
Hey, what’s the name of the show? (Frank […]

Doctor Who — 2007 Christmas Special — Voyage of the Damned

Yay, I’m finally back with a favorite show to write about. In case you didn’t know, I’ve been in the process of moving to Idaho with my six feral cats and eight pit bulls (actually, if you want to get technical, seven pit bulls–two are conjoined and share a soul–I’m not sure how they’ll […]

guess who’s back?

Me! Blogging at SRM will resume shortly. We’re behind on our TV watching, but we’re catching up. I should be back to all-out TV blogging next week. Not that there will be any TV about which to blog. Make a deal with the writers already, people!
If y’all want my opinion on GH, here it is: […]

Do it again! Throw Lana against the elevator again!
Smallville S7Esomething

Yay! No Lana this episode! She’s in Metropolis visiting Aunt Nell!
I can’t stand Lois’s new boyfriend. Because he’s evil. And I knew he was evil from the moment we first met him.
I love Fiesty Chloe. She called Lois a whore with her eyes.
DANGIT! LANA LANG RUINS SMALLVILLE AND ALL THE OTHER TV SHOWS IN THE […]

I should just title every Smallville post “Die, Lana, Die!”
Smallville S7E7

Have I mentioned that the world would be a better place if Lana Lang would die? Also, I want to know. When Clark told Lana about his powers, Lana died, which meant Jonathan had to die. Now, Lana found out on her own, yet she’s still alive. The universe is unfair!
Lana, you should rethink that […]

I have my mom’s DNA! Let’s go build a fort(ress)!
Smallville S7E5

A true Kryptonian embraces their destiny no matter what. That’s right! Did you hear that Clark? Your destiny is nothing to do with Lana Lang, so you must not embrace her ever again! Also, she’s a crazy, evil, annoying snit. You may, however, embrace Lois or Chloe, because I heart them.
We love the randomness of […]

You wouldn’t need all that bait if your belly were full of fish, dear.
Pushing Daisies S1E5

There is just no snarking this show. It’s too well-written and way too funny. But we can laugh together at the best lines.

“Ned hates Halloween, you know. Makes him moodier than a pumpkin full of PMS.”
“When he sees all this, you’re gonna be one sorry little zombie. Seriously, you’re so… dead.” I love Olive! She’s […]

But he can’t be a bad guy, because he’s cute!
Bionic Woman S1E5

Um, so yeah. This is last week’s “Bionic Woman”. I’m far, far behind on the snark. It won’t always be like this. Sometimes I’ll be even farther behind. It’s just that we have this Wii, and I really like it.
A wounded soldier starts attacking all the people in his medical tent, doctors, other soldiers, all […]
