The Essence of Jack Bauer
Here’s a little something I got from last week’s 24. I’d been saving this for a Ness of the Week post, but then I decided it would work better as a post of its own, so… now it’s just über late, saying as the next episode will be airing tonight. Anyway!
When I was posting about [...]
24 Then and Now
Urg, friggin’ Internet failure for a few days, and while DB is off gallivanting around Southwestern Ontario! Anyway, I’m back up and ‘Netified now, so here’s a… less-topical-than-intended post!
As I found while rewatching 24 this past year, I’ve found my feelings about various facets of the show have changed. With this Day 8 I’m finding [...]
Events Occur In Real Time
As J/DB’s resident… okay, there needs to be a cute name 24 fans use to refer to themselves. Anyway, as the resident that, I’m here to talk about Day 8. So, uh… it’s good. Really good!
The new characters are good, I’m frankly astonished by how much I like Freddie Prinze, Jr. here. It’s like they [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 1 – Best Shows of the Decade
I thought we needed something suitably big to cap off our 12 Days of Lists, so here you are! My criteria were simple, a) the show needed to have either exemplary quality or an aspect that altered the TV landscape, and b) it had to have started in the past decade. I preferred to put [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 11 – Most Anticipated TV Moments of Spring 2010
Just because this is an end-of-the-year feature doesn’t mean all of our lists have to be reflecting on the past! Here are the things I’m looking forward to the most in the next few months:
1.) The End of Lost
We’ve got less than twenty hours worth of Lost left, with not only a long list of [...]
Jerk’s TV Geeks V: The Ones That Didn’t Make It
To finish off this week of geekitude, here’s a look at some of the names that almost graced my list(s) but didn’t.
First up, the Lone Gunmen. I’m sure some of you were wondering how none of my lists could feature Langly, Byers, or Frohike. Unlike Jonathan, who I saw as separate and geekier than the [...]
Jerk’s Top TV Geeks III: The Nerd List
This was probably the easiest of the three lists to compile, as Nerds are the most prevalent form of geek on TV. Makes sense really, as Geeks require pop culture references which if done poorly would date your show badly, and TV normally tries for the glitz and glam, so true Dorks on television are [...]
Holy Crap Tom Welling: A SDCC Post
I figured we couldn’t let SDCC go past without postness, so here are some random thoughts on the Smallville, 24 and Supernatural panels from the show. I haven’t sought out any other television related con reports/videos yet, as I’ve been focusing on the comic stuff. *shines DB signal*
So the first thing I’ll mention is the [...]
Jerk's Fav Finales of the Year
Now that it’s June, I figured I’d kick off the summer by taking a look back at some of the great finales we had this past season. This was probably one of my favourite years for finales, as there were some really amazing ones that I eventually wrangled down to a top five. This list [...]
Rewatching 24: Part 2
It took a while to work our way through season six (more on why further down this post), but we got through it just in time to buy season seven! Fun little fact: 24 season 7 is the first time ever a show has been released on DVD the day after the season finale. This [...]
