This week’s episode of Heroes - episode 9 of volume three: Villains - is definitely the worst episode of this season, and perhaps of all time (it’s a close call, comparing it to season two when Maya and her brother existed). How much do I dislike it? Let me count the ways:
1) Hiro and Ando’s [...]

Inspired by Rayni, I’ve decided (albeit very belatedly) to post up the shows I will continue to watch this season. The series are in no particular order because some I can’t decide how much I like, and putting it in chronological order wouldn’t work cos I timeshift all my shows anyway.

Heroes (because I want to [...]

Awesome, awesome promo poster from Dark UFO of the fifth season of Lost. Excellently framed, tells the story who’s on and who’s off the island, everyone looks great!
Where’s Jin and Claire? And it’s cool that Sawyer is front and center on the island and that Charlotte, Miles and Daniel are full-blown cast members and appearing [...]

A blog is supposed to be about me. I realise I share a lot about my passions: books, music, entertainment and comic books/graphic novels, but perhaps not a whole lot about myself. So here’s my first blog post about it.
I consider myself very much a kid of the ’80s and the ’90s. Not just because [...]

My general thoughts so far on the freshman series that have debuted this year: Not bad, but waiting for better. An underlying trend in all of them is that apparently an overarching “mystery” or story arc is the way to go these days (a la Heroes or Lost). The shows in question? Knight Rider 2008, [...]

There were a lot of great shows launched last season which didn’t get the full season or treatment they deserved because of the writers’ strike: Chuck, Reaper, Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, Private Practice, Gossip Girl, Life, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Big Bang Theory and Lipstick Jungle. Now that I’ve watched at least [...]

Last Sunday, after the madness that was homecoming, Jason felt the urge to wake up early and make pancakes, so the household was up by 1020am and in the kitchen.
The running joke is that Eugene (in white) is the “Cook” and Jason is the “intern”, so this video is of the Cook giving the intern [...]

After the disappointment that was season two of Heroes, I had hoped that they’d bounce back, and it seems like they did.
First, I love how practically everyone who’s been someone in the show has returned, (Elle, Adam Monroe, Linderman, Kaito Nakamura) and that Mama Petrelli and Ando are now regulars!
I’m not going to talk about [...]

I’ve never really added a “themed” kind of blog post to my blog, but I’m going to start with Music Mondays, at least for the next couple of months just to see how things are going. I have so many passions it was hard to decide which to go with!
The 2008 Video Music Awards (VMAs) [...]

So on principle I decided I wasn’t going to be remotely interested or watch the new 90210 no matter what i read or heard about it because I’ve indulged enough in guilty pleasures over the years (The O.C and Gossip Girl anyone?).
But yesterday in the much-awesome Media & Pop Culture class, the opening clip of [...]
