We Can Be “Heroes”, Just Not Today

December 4, 2007 – 12:43 am

Blame it on the New England Patriots giving me a frakkin’ heart attack, forcing me to watch every down of that game.
Just finished watching the season finale of Heroes, and I will say: a big ball of meh. Almost nothing that wasn’t predictable, with the plot resolving universally weak and continually choosing the easy way […]

Now and Later

December 3, 2007 – 8:30 pm

The Now:
My recap of the latest Lost mobisode, “The Deal.” Juliet! Michael! No WAAAAAAALT, though. Kinda tragic.
The Later:
My recap of the more-than-likely season finale of Heroes. Can’t believe my luck in launching a TV-centric website just weeks before the WGA went on strike. Just stunning. Stay tuned for my next web endeavors, britneyistotallysane.com and lohansobriety.net.

Making a List, Checking it Twice

December 2, 2007 – 8:11 pm

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 […]

“Heroes” Recap: Episode 2.10

November 26, 2007 – 11:28 pm

I’ve said it before; I’ll say it again. It’s really hard to make good television. I get it. I truly get it. But Season 1 of “Heroes” is good television. Hell, it’s GREAT television. Which makes “Generations” so gosh darn painful. From plots that are going nowhere, plots that have been forgotten, and certain threads […]

Just another manic Monday

November 20, 2007 – 8:00 am

Monday’s a pretty busy day here at BTD, and as per usual, there’s lots to read. Take your pick! It’s like “Choose Your Own Adventure,” only in this case, all the adventures are wicked awesome.

Go here for a summary of the latest edition of the latest Lost mobisode, the epically titled “The Adventures of Hurley […]

“Heroes” Recap: Episode 2.9

November 19, 2007 – 11:11 pm

Now, here’s an interesting thing. For a show as perfectly paced was last year, this second installment sure has had pacing problems left and right. Last year they had a big, 22-episode story to tell, and they told it with very few hiccups in the process. And yet, getting out a story half that big […]

“Heroes” Recap: Episode 2.8

November 12, 2007 – 11:36 pm

I must confess, I was purty darn excited to see this week’s episode, “Four Months Ago…” Traditionally speaking, when Heroes goes for an episode detailing a specific period in time, whether in be well in the past or well in the future, they tend to hit it out of the park. While this iteration marked […]

Busy Night with the Boob Tube Dude

November 12, 2007 – 10:59 pm

Wouldn’t be surprised if you missed it all. Here’s a handy recap.

I reviewed the first “mobisode” of Lost. Yummy new Lost goodness. Stale old Jack Daddy issues. Oh well, can’t win ‘em all.
I Wee-Viewed the latest Chuck, an excellent installment that gives me hope for the long-term future of the show.
I recapped the latest and […]

Three Men, Three Links, Three Fake Quotes

November 7, 2007 – 11:23 pm

 Joss Whedon: “Yea, sure, myself, Tim Minear, and Eliza Dushku are doing a television show together. I know, I know, you’re jumping for joy. I get it. But just so you don’t get too excited, we’re going back to Fox, so, prepare to put your emotional balls into the vice once again.”
Tim Krieg: “If you […]

“Heroes” Recap: Episode 2.7

November 5, 2007 – 11:16 pm

You know, I had this whole thing planned out for tonight’s recap, when I’d skip the actual events of the episode and construct my entire theory of “Generations”, with the big centerpiece being “why I think Adam Monroe is Takezo Kensei”, and it was gonna totally freakin’ awesome, and then Heroes blew it by letting […]
