Published Date: September 12th, 2009
Category: BBC America, New Shows, SciFi

The long-awaited new series, Stargate Universe, starring Robert Carlyle, will premiere on the Syfy Channel on October 2. I hope it will live up to the standards of its predecessors, Stargate SG-1, and Stargate Atlantis. The premise is that a team of researchers boards a failing Ancient vessel with no way to gate [...]

Thought I was gone for good, right?  No, I’ve been ill and it will be a few months before I’m back 100%, but I’m coming up for air feeling just a tad better today and figured some of you might actually care about the shows that I’m interested in following during August.  So, here’s what [...]

I’m looking forward to Thursdays shows even though it’s not the Must See night it has been in the past.
I’ve been watching Last Comic Standing from the beginning and I’m hoping Dan Naturman will do well this year.
But the new shows should be lots of fun too!
Fear Itself looks to be a creepy show and [...]

For you fellow Doctor Who lovers, David Tennant will be a guest on tonight’s Top Gear episode – I wonder if they’ll let him get under the bonnet with his sonic screwdriver!

Lloyd Owen has been in a couple of shows I liked a lot:  Monarch of the Glen and The Innocence Project, both on BBC America.  Unfortunately, his latest venture, Viva Laughlin, has been pulled after only 2 episodes and on November 4, Amazing Race will be taking its’ timeslot.
Viva Laughlin is a murder mystery that [...]

Jekyll – Episodes Five and Six – Finale

I was surprised this week when I finally got around to watching the final episodes of Jekyll and realized that the assistant is portrayed by none other than Michelle Ryan of the new NBC show, Bionic Woman. The assistant role is that of a strong young woman who helps Dr. Jackman control Mr. Hyde [...]

Jekyll – Episode Four

I didn’t realize how much fun it would be to see how Dr. Tom Jackman met his wife! This was one of the creepier episodes because of how understated it was, slowly moving toward what seems to be the first coming of Mr. Hyde.
First the writings of Dr. Jackman to his assistant that cause her [...]

Jekyll – Episode 3 – Review

Published Date: August 16th, 2007

Very clever the way this episode was formatted, going back and forth between current time, when Dr. Jackman awakens with blood all over his shirt, and events that occurred the night before while Hyde was locked into a basement with Dr. Jackman’s wife and her boyfriend.
Dr. Jackman had forced the key to the basement door [...]
