"Lulu" isn't that bad. Kinda. It just had too much of that Metallica sound attached to Reed. Reed's style has always been wrapped up in lot of subtlety and innuendo.

too lazy; don't read

"The Fog" does take a while to warm up, though. It's a fun ghost story, but not terribly scary.

???

Why the hell didn't I notice this sooner?

Could the proliferation of all these iterations of zombies tales be:

Hmm. Cornered by a bunch o' freaks in an uncertain part of town, at night no less. Hella coincidental that.

I’ve been a fan of Carpenter’s work ever since those lazy afternoons and occasional evenings of pre-CW network, what-the-hell programming airing chestnuts like “They Live,” “The Thing,” “Halloween” (the greatest boogeyman movie ever made) and “Big Trouble In Little China.” The last being a personal favorite.

Sweet! Danny DeVito's voicing the title character! Maybe this'll be a juicier role than that of his character in "Hercules."

Huh. I dug those eps. Guess there's no accounting for taste, but you do make a compelling argument for those episodes being dramatically out of place against the overall heavy tone of the last season.

"Cheers" and "The Muppet Show" oughta be good. Stuff Gen-X grew up with's always fun to dissect.

My entries:

And now, throwing piss into the punchbowl, inspired by "Sub Rosa" and its extreme lack of anything Trek…

However with "Homeward," not bad. A B maybe. Casting Paul Sorvino was a great idea, and his maverick, almost adolescent performance was a hoot. Especially when paired with straight-arrow Worf.

One word (and only one) on "Sub Rosa": ouch.

First off: this is one the best threads ever maintained on this site that I have ever read, so I gotta post sumpin'.

I don't get the "Sunny" reference.

Why are there so few positive review of TV series on the AVC? Surely it can't be the majority of shows are dookie; there are just too many damned channels.

One could only hope this new feature will sway away from too many reviews of obscure media that either alienates the readers or make us rush to reference (your guide/site of choice).

It's amazing how impatient cultural amnesia is. Wasn't there a pretty OK TV mini-series of "The Stand" made less than 20 years ago? Do we need a remake, really? Y'ever notice how all these remakes of films in recent years seem to have one watermark by which they delineate production schedules?
