Ranting about The X-Files like it's 1999
So, the current season of The X-Files is actually...good? I know, I can't believe it either! I would put episodes two and four up with some of the best of the series, especially ep 4, written by Darin Morgan. Episode three was a little rougher around the edges, but still enjoyable, and included ( spoilers ) -
2017 Year in Review meme
Which TV shows did you let go of in 2017?Arrow. I had become increasingly bored with how it seemed to become grimmer and darker every year, and when the new season started, and Oliver’s son was living with him full-time, I decided that I was out. Also Riverdale, which I watched the first season of but found myself drifting away from after the first ( Read more... ) -

This is the time of year when I would normally do a "what's new this fall on TV" kind of post, but, to be honest, this year there's not a single new show that has me excited. I would be interested in the new Star Trek series if it weren't going to air on the CBS streaming network, but I'm not paying for another streaming service right now. I'm sure ( Read more... ) -
Summer Movies
I've been going to the movies this summer!
Wonder Woman - Of course I saw this! It was really good. My biggest criticism is that the climactic battle at the end goes on for too long, to the point that I was getting bored with it, but everything up until then was great. Honestly, beyond whether I liked the movie or not, I'm just thrilled that a ( Read more... ) -

Twin Peaks returns tonight! I...still don't know how I feel about this. I'm not really on board with this whole trend of reviving old shows; next season we get the return of both Will & Grace and Roseanne. Was anyone clamoring for either of these? Didn't both those shows have final episodes that fans hated? Why can't we, as a culture, just let ( Read more... ) -

I only just realized that there were a bunch of people on Dreamwidth whose journals I THOUGHT I was subscribed to, but apparently I wasn't. So, if you just got a notification that I subscribed or granted access to you, it's because I thought I had already done so. D'oh. -
My favorite pop culture of 2016
As we all know, 2016 was a garbage fire, but there were at least a few things that made it a little easier to bear.
TV Shows1. Stranger Things - I don't care if it was nostalgia, this just hit my buttons in exactly the right way ( Read more... ) -
The perfect capper to 2016
So, it looks like the time has come to move fully to Dreamwidth. I know I'm already following several of you on DW, but if you're reading this and we aren't friends over there, please let me know your user name! And if you don't have a Dreamwidth account, please consider getting one, even if you only post occasionally (like me!). -
Fall TV Preview!
There's not much I'm excited about this fall when it comes to TV, but here are the shows I'll probably check out at least once, along with the returning shows that I'll probably continue to watch.
( Time travelers and baseball players and unnecessary remakes, oh my! ) -
Person of Interest and Stranger Things
This summer I've been watching Person of Interest, which stars Michael Emerson as a genius who built a supercomputer that can anticipate when people are going to be in danger and Jim Caviezel as the guy he sends to save the people in danger. ( More POI talk, with mild spoilers )
