There are lots of theories floating around about last night’s episode. I even spent over 2 hours (updated) 4 hours discussing it with someone. However I only have one big theory I want to share and I’ll post it after the break… ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

There has been crazy time travel this season and I hope tonight’s 2 hour finale clears up on who and when and where its been happening.
I hate to admit it, but I was so disparate for TV last night that I watched “Wife Swap.” This has motivate me to compile a list after the break of when all the summer TV shows will be premiering: ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The composer of the original “Star Trek” theme died.
Courage’s fanfare for the U.S.S. Enterprise, written in 1965 for the first of two Star Trek pilots, was heard throughout the three original seasons of the show and has been reprised throughout all the Trek feature films and several of the TV series, notably Star Trek: The Next Generation in the 1980s and ’90s.
Michael Ausiello, one of the best spoiler-journalist on the web announced yesterday he is leaving TV Guide for EW. Ausiello has been providing spoilers for over eight years and has gained split second cameos on shows like “Scrubs” “Gilmore Girls” “Felicity” and “Veronica Mars.” No word yet on if he will be doing spoiler-work for EW or what.
Spent the holiday weekend doing work and a “Back to the Future” marathon. My goal is to get back to my normal schedule by the end of the week!
Fox has come in as the most popular network in America, beating out ABC, NBC, The CW and CBS. This is the firs time since the network started in 1987 that it has come in at #1 in the ratings for the season. It’s also the first time since the 90′s that CBS didn’t take first place.
I started a discussion over at Pop Candy about the female characters best in Film and TV:
So the comic-book blogsphere is still talking about the Iron Man movie, specifically about whether or not the character of Pepper Potts was a bad character or not. This led me to think, “Hmm, who is the best female character of all time?” I only came up with one answer: Lorelei Gilmore. So I ask ye … what other female characters in film/TV are on par with Lorelai’s overall awesomeness? — Scott K.
You think Lorelei is better than Buffy? I may have to disagree with you on that one … She probably ranks at the top for me. Another person who comes to mind is Maude from Harold & Maude – I love her spirit! Annie Hall is another good one. Frances McDormand‘s character in Fargo, Marge, is another one of my favorites.
Buffy is of course a great answer and in my opinion she’s almost tied with Lorelai (after all BTVS is my all time favorite TV show), but the problem with Buffy is that when you get into season 6 and season 7 she goes through a weird personality change for a bit (had to do with being pulled out of heaven) and for a big chunk of episodes she’s just wasn’t not as strong of a character as say Lorelei is.
The movie was fun. Yes you could clearly see where Lucas got a little too digital happy and sure the plot wasn’t perfect, but the bottom line is that it was a fun movie.
Posted after the break is the big list of all the recently canceled TV shows. I was actually going to post a list of all the renewed shows, but then saw this on E! and decided to swipe it. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Was confused when I went to Google and saw the above pic. It was apparently the winner of “Doodle 4 Google…”
Doodle 4 Google is a competition where we invite K-12 students to reinvent Google’s homepage logo. This year we asked U.S. kids to doodle around the theme “What if…?”
Our winning doodle, selected from over 16,000 entries, was created by Grace Moon, a 6th grader at Canyon Middle School from Castro Valley, California. Grace’s lovely doodle, “Up in the Clouds,” will grace our homepage, Google.com, on May 22nd, 2008.
