Christmas Cookies 2

Well, the fall finale is upon us, and the writer’s strike has managed to cut short a terrific turnaround for a season that had stumbled badly in the beginning.  It’s depressing to imagine what might have been - how this episode, instead of an overly busy, obviously truncated ending, could’ve been a terrific showdown with [...]

After the initial euphoria of having this show get back on track has subsided, it’s time to face the cold, hard truth: The first half of the season is about to end, and the writers’ strike makes it probable that the fall finale will end up being the season finale. Unfortunately, there’s a lot [...]

A few years ago I got some coupons for a chain clothing store. They were good only on Black Friday, so I thought, what the heck - might as well give it a shot. It was horrible. Even after the morning rush was over, the stores were packed. The employees were overworked [...]

If you’re like me, you may have wondered during some point during the first part of this season, “What if it’s me? Are my standards too high? Am I remembering last season as better than it really was? Is this season actually good and I just can’t appreciate it?” If you did, rest assured that [...]

Just when many of us thought that maybe this season was beyond hope, we get an episode that reminds us why we got hooked on this show in the first place. Action, romance, plot twists, family drama - this episode had it all, and all without the Wonder Twins of Death! Is it [...]

Here’s how you can tell this show has reached a new low: The best part of this week’s episode was the previews for next week’s episode.  Apparently next week we’ll finally learn about this seaon’s good vs. evil plotline, and hopefully we won’t feel like the last six episodes have been a total waste.  I’ve [...]

At this point in what is turning out to be an extremely mediocre season of Heroes, I’m thankful for the smallest of favors, like an episode with no Wonder Twins of Death. Still, it really doesn’t make up for the fact that we’re now almost a quarter of the way through the season, and there [...]

We all knew that this show couldn’t sustain so many separate story lines for much longer and keep its audience, so the fourth episode zeros in on a few plots, while neatly meshing others. While this does make for better storytelling, it does have its drawbacks. Millions of heterosexual women settled in on [...]

My biggest complaint about the last episode of Heroes was that everyone was mainly treading water - nobody did anything new, the individual stories were completely disconnected, making for a disjointed narrative, and with the exception of a couple of surprises, we didn’t learn much at all. I was very concerned that we were [...]
