Well, fellow television geeks, we’re heading into that glorious time of the television schedule: Fall sweeps! Sure, given the fragmented nature of television viewing, this period means a little less that it used to, but nonetheless shows strive to pull out all the stops in order to maximize their most important asset: creativity. And by […]

Gonna try and start a new feature on the BTD: “State of the Show.” It’s an attempt to try and look and certain shows on a periodic basis rather than try and pump out recaps after every episode. If I had infinite time and energy, well, I’d recap everything, but with a full-time job and […]

If you missed it, well, don’t worry. I have you covered. Three recaps for your reading enjoyment.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Episode 3.4
Chuck: Episode 3.1
Heroes: Episode 3.3
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to ice my wrists.

Chuck is like a big bag of Cheetos: you know it doesn’t have much in the way of socially redeeming qualities, but damn it’s delish. And while there’s some actual meat in this televised version of cheesy snack food, it mostly exists to provide a great dose of pure pleasure into the cerebral cortex. And […]
I forgot how much I liked this show until I saw this.
God, the Fall can’t come fast enough. This, new Heroes, and The New Adventures of Old Christine.
OK, well, two out of three ain’t bad.

The Dude’s tired. Winter always gets to me, that New England phenomenon of “41 and grey” that lands atop Boston sometime just before Thanksgiving and stays through the start of baseball season. Just saps the energy, breaks the will, and sends the Dude towards Jack Daniels.
But The Dude has a better reason for his exhaustion […]

With the Fall finale of Chuck, the show essentially rebooted itself back to square one. I’m not quite sure how I feel about that.
We ended last night with Chuck and Sarah merely friends, and John Casey patiently (if hesitantly) awaiting orders to kill Chuck once Intercect 2.0 reaches fruition. But we were here at the […]

The Boob Tube Dude is exhausted. Like, Hurley after participating in the Ironman Triathlon tired. Like, Peter Petrelli after trying to grasp BC calculus tired.
So, another day without a Chuck Wee-View or a Heroes recap. I know, I know, all six of you are crushed.
I’d give Chuck a 6.5/10 and Heroes a 5.5/10, with “Generations” […]

NBC kept telling us this would be an “iconic” episode of Chuck this week, and while it was good, I wouldn’t be so brash as to call it “iconic”. Nothing about the episode matched the shock of Bryce’s cryogenic slumber from last week’s edition, and really, mythologically speaking, very little shocked or surprised.
That’s not to […]
Making a List, Checking it Twice
It’s December, which means two things. One, a lot of your favorite shows are heading into rerun land. (Course, unlike past years, they might actually stay that way for quite some time.) And secondly, “Best Of” lists will start proliferating magazines, newspapers, and yes, websites. So I thought I’d get ahead of the game and […]
