New TV Series: Alphas
Whenever a new TV series is suggested to me, I ask one particular question: what is the purpose of that series? In this question, I try to follow the subject of the series, the tone and the message it tries to convey with the respect to the subject. If I find at least the subject to be of interest, I watch it. Once I receive the message, I s [...]
TV Series: Endgame – checkmate
Arkady Balagan’s chess days are over following a decisive checkmate from the producer Showcase. Despite a fair popularity (as far as Canadian ratings are concerned), Showcase decided to slash Endgame. The campaign mounted by the fans in a bid to save the show only pulled a promise from Showcase to air the rest of season 1 of the Endgame TV s [...]
TV Series News: The Event, Game of Th...
1. The Event series ends with a bang. The plot to trim down Earth’s population and make room for Sophia’s aliens from their dying planet is foiled. President Martinez is reconfirmed at the White House while the vice-president’s plot is revealed to the whole cabinet. However, the alien portal works and eventually what seems to be an alien moon [...]
The End: Stargate Universe
When Caprica ended, it was sad but didn’t feel like much of a big deal. I was sorry to lose such a great and complex story line, adorned with interesting intertwined characters. But in the end, they wrapped it up forcibly, crammed the last details to force the story to the conclusion we all expected.
In Stargate Universe, the story went [...]
New TV Series: Endgame
Endgame is a rather surprising product of the Canadian television industry. Although Canadian mystery stories lack the punch and grit of the British or the American action style, Endgame is endowed with a certain wit that plays well on the steps of previously known The Mentalist.
In Endgame, we meet Arkady Balagan, former world chess champio [...]
TV Series: Endings
CSI Miami: The weakest in the CSI franchise marked the end of it’s 8th season. Consistent with its reputation of being weak in script but with a great amount of “coolness”, the 8th season of CSI Miami ends with a suspenseful bang as always. In fact, if I were to note CSI Miami for anything, it would be for the coolness of Horatio Caine and th [...]
New TV Series: A Game of Thrones
HBO does not mass produce shows. This simple fact is reflect into each of their works: Six Feet Under, The Tudors, True Blood, The Sopranos, Rome and many others. Attention to detail, well-scripted parts, well-defined characters and expressive actors are weapons in an arsenal that won every TV battle it was engaged in.
A Game of Thrones is t [...]
New TV Series: The Borgias
[singlepic id=159 w=320 h=240 float=left] Historical dramas tend to be less historical when put into a movie. HBO’s The Tudors managed to impress visually and story-wise, while leaving historical accuracy aside. With characters not entirely related to the historical image and keeping touch only with the larger scale events, The Tudors m [...]
Sheldonesque
I guess many people are familiar with dr. Sheldon Cooper, star character in the geeky sitcom The Big Bang Theory. His compulsions and idiosyncracies gave birth to new adjectives sheldonesque and/or sheldonian, to define said particularities in our mundane lives.
Quite recently, I managed to pull a sheldonesque line. Story goes like this: I wa [...]
