End of year review: Fringe

The final season of Fringe… Hmmm… Well… This isn’t my favorite season of Fringe. I’m confident that I mostly know what’s going on but I can’t seem to care.  The arrival of The Observers was highly anticipated but they turned out NOT to be mysterious and awe-inspiring but a stock collective big-bad who are...

End of year review: Supernatural

In its eighth season, Supernatural is starting to show its age. I knew when Dean came back from purgatory that we were going to be in for a season of cranky, self-righteous Dean. Sam is as weak as ever but this time, after knowing what he has gone through, I understand where he is...

End of year review: Grimm

  In its second season Grimm found its footing, built its mythology, and fleshed out its characters. At the beginning of the season, Nick’s girlfriend gets scratched by a witch cat and goes into a coma. She came out the coma via a kiss by the ever so sexy Captain Renard but the only...

End of year review: Vampire Diaries

There have been better seasons of Vampire Diaries. The season three was rock solid; non-stop amazing. I was super pumped up when Elena became a vampire but post-death Elena became whiny and obnoxious. It was the total opposite of Caroline’s vampire transformation which turned her from whiny to bad-ass. I thought the introduction the Hunter Connor...

End of year review: Once Upon a Time

  There is every reason for the show Once Upon a Time to have failed. On paper, it seems like everyone should hate a show about fairy tale characters who have forgotten who they really are and is stuck in a real-life town going on with a mundane life. It is a mystery why this...

End of year review: Being Human [Syfy - US]

  I was highly skeptical of the quality of Being Human when it premiered. Syfy had (yet again) canceled some of my favorite shows and I didn’t want to fall in love with another show only to have it ripped away. My friend Hanako insisted this was a great show and I trusted her...

End of year review: 666 Park Avenue

  For some, all you have to say is Terry O’Quinn to get them in the door. If you say Terry O’Quinn AND Vanessa Williams the most logical answer is “Why am I not watching this?!” 666 Park Avenue is a supernatural show about a seemingly haunted hotel that is run by perhaps the Devil. It’s...

End of year review: Mockingbird Lane

Mockingbird Lane was a one-hour Halloween TV special created as a re-imagining of The Munsters. From the feel of the story and the origin story of the son, it felt like a pilot. Because the special cost $10 million to make, NBC ultimately decided against investing further in the show and decided to label it a...

End of year review: Last Resort

What. A. Treat! The advertising for Last Resort was unrelenting and intense so I gave it a shot. I fell in love with the show in the first episode so naturally it was canceled. Before learning of the cancellation, I made sure to watch this show every week. Despite not having an alien or...

End of year review: Castle

Castle isn’t a science fiction show per se but there’s a lot of geekery that happens on that show. I must admit to having gaps in my viewership of the show. When sexual tension gets obnoxious and painful to watch I need a break. This season Beckett and Castle FINALLY get together and surprising...

End of year review: Eureka

  My most happy, shiny, most favorite show has ended. The final season of Eureka began awesome enough. Part of the crew was going to space. It was an exciting set up that led to a disappointing thread for the whole season. Instead of being in space, part of the crew was in a simulation of...

End of year review: The Booth at the End

  This is the underground sleeper hit TV show of the year. Booth at the End is literally about a guy sitting in a booth. The whole show takes place in a booth at a greasy diner. Different people come to visit the man in the booth because they have a problem and they...

End of year review: Revolution

  If you want to know what polishing a turd looks like, tune into Revolution each week. The premise is ridiculous and the delivery is… well… they try, bless their souls. I want to like Revolution. Sometimes, I’ve even taken on the role as a Revolution defender… or maybe a Revolution apologist because I like some of the actors. As far...

End of year review: Warehouse 13

  Warehouse 13 seems to be successfully and quietly chugging along. Because of Syfy’s ridiculous streaming policies, I had to watch each episode one month after it aired. This prevented me from enjoying with other fans and prevented me from getting a true gauge of fellow fans interest. Even with all that baggage, I...

End of year review: Beauty and the Beast (CW)

So… some people were so turned off by Kristin Kruek in Smallville that they vowed not to watch her in anything else. While her character Lana annoyed me to no end on Smallville, I actually liked her in Earthsea and Chuck. Because I personally think the actress is awesome, I gave CW’s Beauty and...
