Man Men S1 - A Study In Authenticity

I’m a little behind in the watching of plenty of tv shows but I asked for the 2 season Mad Men box set last Xmas and got it. Only now have I gotten around to finishing the first season.

Mad Men struck me, initially, as a good show. The production value was high, the actors were [...]

Rescue Me Season 3 Review

Alright, I love this show, it’s true. I love it and I think it’s nigh on perfect but I’ll try not to be swayed by my bias when writing this review, I need to take the show on its merits, and there will be some suggestions for improvements made here.

For those who don’t know, Rescue [...]

LOST Finale - My Two Cents

As I’ve said previously, it’s been six years of my life. I was there at the start and a natural disaster wouldn’t even keep me from being there at the end. I sat down to watch the entire finale and these are my random thoughts on the whole shebang. And, now, with SPOILERS!

I liked it. [...]

Top of the Pops - 2009 Style

It’s the end of the year and I got a lotta problems with you people, and now you’re gonna hear about them. Yes, I’m celebrating Festivus, as usual, and the feat of strength is to find a top entrant for each arbitrary aspect of the year I feel like grieving about. Well, what are we [...]

Top Ten Teev Characters

I’m not looking for the leads on this one, I’m talking background gold. I want the unsung heroes that nail every episode with a single look in a scene or one line between the constant flapping of the actual stars. These are the ones that make it worthwhile sticking around and watching every episode. These [...]

LOST - The Sitcom

I am an avid LOST fanatic. I have stated many times that it is the greatest show ever created, in my opinion. I even spent some time on the weekend drinking and arguing that point with my friends. LOST has absolutely everything I could ever want from a television show. It is the ultimate.
But I [...]

Ed Brubaker’s Angel Of Death

I’ve been waiting for this series for months now. I didn’t realise there’d be a new episode each day, that’s pretty wicked.
For those who don’t know, Ed Brubaker is the guy who currently writes Daredevil, and is doing a wickedly great job at it, he also writes Criminal, which is currently on hiatus for Incognito, [...]

Slopping The Hogs

That title is a swipe from a line of Stephen King’s Hearts In Atlantis. He is referring to picking up the chicks that you don’t want to, if you get my drift. I, however, am referring to a multitude of sins.
Writing, always first and foremost, I just felt like I was slopping the hogs all [...]

And What Have We Done

It’s the end of 2008. Holy shit is the only way to describe it all. I am sitting in an empty house right now, the laptop heating up my thighs (but not my pills, I want to have kids one day) and I have my feet up on a removalist box full of kitchen gear. [...]

A Stocking Stuffed With Stuffing and Stockings

Writing over xmas can be about as futile as trying to exercise over xmas, or eat healthy. Sometimes you have to just sit down and realise that certain things are not going to happen. My mind works in the way that I figure if I do enough of it throughout the year then I am [...]
