BATTLESTAR: GALACTICA 3.12: "Rapture":

The wait between seasons 3.0 and 3.5 was much shorter than in the past, much to the pleasure of BSG fans awaiting closure on the mid-season cliffhanger. Despite the short break, a number of changes have struck the Galactica universe. The most important change is the shift to Sunday nights, an attempt to capitalize on demographic gains and reverse an overall...

SUPERNATURAL 2.11: "Playthings"

In a very nice move on the part of the writers, this episode begins with the fallout from "Hunted", focusing squarely on Sam's reaction to Ava's apparent murder of her fianc. In fact, like so many episodes of this series, the scenario is designed to facilitate the exploration of Sam's grief and guilt. The supporting story (in essence, a classic haunted house...

There's always the comfort that Jack will make sure it all turns out well in the...

I'm intrigued by the possibility that the writers might actually allow some of the character questions remain unanswered for more than a couple episodes, and there's something to...

Damn. It's been forever since my last update.

I've gotten hooked on the goth metal. Specifically, the goth metal with the female singers. It keeps me going during the long and utterly boring days, while fulfilling the requirement of scaring the shit out of my co-workers who love Top 40 crap.

I found that shaving my head and growing back the goatee helps perpetuate the...

There exists no separation between gods and men; one blends softly casual into the other...

The evil is this way?

I have just discovered that having heartburn and an ear infection at the exact same time is really, really annoying...

Off to Baltimore...some wonderful 3 day training seminar for work...

Saw "X2". Loved it. Might see "Reloaded" while I'm away, since I have no idea where the good nightlife can be found in Baltimore, and I'm going to be stuck in the middle of Inner Harbor Tourist Land.

Not sure about the 'net access while I'm gone, so nothing new for a week or so...as...

Know what I figured out tonight? Every high school in this country, from one end to the other, smells exactly alike...now why do you suppose that is?
