The X-Files: My Contribution to a Reboot/Revival/Whatever You Want To Call It Just Bring It Back
In January 2010, I embarked on an exciting endeavour which I named, quite simply, The X-Files Facebook Project. I posted an introductory post, then the Facebook conversation for the Pilot, episodes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 of The X-Files. Then, well, it stopped. It’s a project that I have been meaning to come… Read More The X-Files: My Contribution to a Reboot/Revival/Whatever You Want To Call It Just Bring It Back
Dana Scully’s Real Journey: Arising To Help Humanity despite the Steep Price
It has been a couple of years since The X-Files ended… OK, fine, it has been more than a “couple” of years, but I still avidly look for anything related to the show. Thanks to the wonderful World Wide Web, there is always something new. I recently rediscovered a commentary on the show written a… Read More Dana Scully’s Real Journey: Arising To Help Humanity despite the Steep Price

TV Review: Season 1 of The Mindy Project
Do you remember Kelly Kapoor from The Office? I always looked forward to seeing her on screen and wished for her to be more present, despite the fact that I found her character so gratingly annoying. It reminded me of my love-hate relationship with George Costanza on Seinfeld. It was the acting made the character… Read More TV Review: Season 1 of The Mindy Project
TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 9: Black Blotter
Fellow Fringe fan and my dear friend Monica was right; reviewing this episode was quite the trippy experience, for lack of a better word. Most of this episode was enhanced by Walter taking LSD giving this exploration of his guilt and fears a very unique taste typical of this sort of ‘special’ episode Fringe is… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 9: Black Blotter
TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 10: Anomaly XB-6783746
More frustrating than looking for the pieces of a puzzle is having the pieces and not knowing what to do with them. This pretty much sums up the 10th episode of the fifth and final season of Fringe, as the team, having found the child Observer now known as Michael, tries to figure out how… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 10: Anomaly XB-6783746
TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 11: The Boy Must Live
One of the benefits of having only one last, shortened season is that a lot is condensed. Unlike Season 2 when for example, the storyline about Peter’s his true origin stretched out for four incredibly stressful episodes. That story began with Olivia seeing him glimmer, and ended with Peter, figuring it all out. In this… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 5, Episode 11: The Boy Must Live
TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 15: Subject 13 – Part II
Although we have long ago guessed it and even described it (sometimes at length…), it’s interesting to finally see how Walter’s guilt developed and where it stemmed from. By the same token, it’s interesting to see where Walternate’s current determination and drive stem from. While Season 2’s episode “Peter” showed Walter’s real intentions – i.e.… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 15: Subject 13 – Part II
TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 16: Os – Part II
In the first part of this review, I touched on Walter’s current state of mind, how he is coming apart at the seams and how he is choosing to blame it on Bell’s absence and the surgical removal of his brain tissue rather than to look at all the resources he has at hand, namely,… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 16: Os – Part II
TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 17: Os – Part I
While this episode in itself was one of those Fringe episode that future fans of the show, in a hurry to find out what is going to happen at the end of Season 3, might be told to skip, I found it fascinating because of the oft mentioned storytelling prouesse of the production team. The… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 3, Episode 17: Os – Part I
