DEXTER 4.9 - "Hungry Man"
DEXTER 4.9 - "Hungry Man"
danowen.blogspot.com — [SPOILERS] I'm not entirely sure about this episode. It certainly gave us some big developments and two surprises (although I'd guessed one last week), but it just didn't feel like a natural continuation of last week's episode. It almost felt like I'd missed an episode, as Arthur's (John ... (more) DEXTER 4.9 - "Hungry Man"
Terminator Salvation Competition: The Result
Terminator Salvation Competition: The Result
danowen.blogspot.com — Last Thursday I gave British and Irish readers the chance to win a copy of Terminator Salvation on DVD or Blu-Ray (the latter of which included a life-size T600 skull). To have a chance of winning you just had to answer this question in 84 words, or less: "If a cyborg from the future came ... (more) Terminator Salvation Competition: The Result
I hang up Hung, Defying Gravity defies my axe, but my iris closes on Stargate Universe
danowen.blogspot.com — There never seemed to be much appetite for Hung reviews around here (seriously, am I the only one watching?), so I've decided to retire the show from weekly review. I'll still tune in every Thursday on More4, but it's not really worth my time putting a review together that nobody appears ... (more) I hang up Hung, Defying Gravity defies my axe, but my ...
FRINGE 2.8 - "August"
FRINGE 2.8 - "August"
danowen.blogspot.com — [SPOILERS] It's difficult to dislike episodes of Fringe that tackle its mythology, particularly the enigmatic Observer (Michael Cerveris), who has become the show's very own "Where's Wally?" character... but "August" was decidedly average in storytelling terms. This eighth episode focused ... (more) FRINGE 2.8 - "August"

Virgin Media save Generation Kill from my DVR death sentence
Virgin Media save Generation Kill from my DVR death sentence
danowen.blogspot.com — I've been recording Generation Kill every week since it started on Channel 4 HD, waiting for the ideal time to delve into its seven episodes. But, to be honest, too many shows have my attention already, so finding the time to set aside was proving... well, impossible. Added to that, those ...

MERLIN 2.9 – "The Lady Of The Lake"
danowen.blogspot.com — [SPOILERS] "The writers of old called it... a Bastard." That's what Gaius (Richard Wilson) said... wasn't it? That unintentional bit of hilarity apart, "The Lady Of The Lake" was unfortunately the worst episode of this otherwise excellent second season; two decent performances cast adrift ...

Terminator: Salvation (2009) [Director's Cut, Blu-ray]
danowen.blogspot.com — "The first in a proposed trilogy of sequels-cum-prequels, gut instincts are proven correct in fearing the worst from McG's attempt to emulate James Cameron. Terminator Salvation is a rote, soulless, dumb endeavor. After the climactic events of Terminator 3 , we're now in the post-"Judgment ... (more) Terminator: Salvation (2009) [Director's Cut, Blu-ray]

MISFITS 1.2
MISFITS 1.2
danowen.blogspot.com — [SPOILERS] It's a good sign that Misfits' second episode chose to focus on impertinent Nathan (Robert Sheehan), the only member of the fivesome without any actual super-powers (well, that he's aware of), as it proves the show doesn't need to rely on its superhero credentials to entertain ...

DEFYING GRAVITY 1.6 - "Bacon"
danowen.blogspot.com — [SPOILERS] I was right, the BBC sneaked out Defying Gravity's sixth episode late on Saturday without telling anyone, but this fact didn't elude my trusty digibox -- although I'm still wondering if the joke's actually on me. The midway point of space-soap Defying Gravity had even more of a ... (more) DEFYING GRAVITY 1.6 - "Bacon"
