The Evolution of the Elevator
One thing that really stood out to me on Grey’s this week, other than the wrap up of a storyline that was sorely neglected and underused, was how the Seattle Grace Elevator has really come full circle.
I really hate when shows shove metaphorical relationships in our faces like look! The new guy is now like [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 2 – Best Show Redemptions of ‘09
Mwahaha!! Screw that DoubleBitch, I’m taking over this blog! From now on, you’ll be reading Jerk/DoubleJerk! Oh oh ewww, okay no. Also I haven’t gone megalomaniac, DB’s just gone home for Christmas a might unprepared *cough*forgotherpassword*cough* so I’m throwing up today’s list for her. While last season gave us a ton of really great TV, [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 7 – Worst Deaths
Normally we’ve been starting off these lists with a bit of an explanation, but the reasons that make these the worst deaths are case specific, so let’s just say this list is complementary to DB’s last one and get to the dead people!
1.) Daphne Millbrook
Okay, you’re saying ‘but Jerk, her death was done really well [...]
Exeunt
While DB has been using the Holiday Showness Slowdown to start a White Collar, I’ve also discovered a new show: Grey’s Anatomy!
Well okay not so much discovered as I’d only watched the two-hour premiere of the sixth season, and now I’m playing catch-up. But still! More watching of stuff during the slow patch, it totally [...]
House, Heroes and Grey’s Take 2
Lets get one more kick at the season premiere cat while it’s still fresh-ish. One thing we’ve seen over the past two weeks is three major 2 hour premieres, House, Heroes and Grey’s Anatomy. We’ve also seen three different uses for the 2 hour episode, preface, expositional and the double episode.
Of these, the first and [...]
How to make a bad idea sound like it was good with Shonda Rhimes
Oh this was just too good to pass by without sharing. Here’s one of the Grey’s Anatomy Season 5 DVD special features in which Shonda Rhimes and her yes woman try to convince you that bringing Denny back from the dead was not only a great idea, but that it was also successful and people [...]
I Recognize That Place!
So I’m watching an episode of Alias (2.06 to be exact) and Jack and Sydney are sent on a mission to a hospital in Geneva. When they arrived, the hospital looked a little familiar:
Yup, not only is that Seattle Grace, but it’s that classic balcony walkway thingy they love using in pretty much every Grey’s [...]
Dis-Appointment Television
Remember way back, say 4 – 5 months ago? Back in a time of happy, when Daphne was still alive and we were waiting on bated breath for the final episodes of Battlestar! To find out who the final cylon was. When episodes flowed a plenty in a symphony of consecutive airings playing out their [...]
A Quick Word on Dollhouse
Felicia Day’s Tweeting has the Interweb all a-twitter (heh) about Fox’s plans to not air the thirteenth episode of Dollhouse. Which I have to admit, is not news I wanted to hear, but there’s something that we all have to remember: Fox still hasn’t decided if Dollhouse will be renewed or not.
Yes, I know this [...]
TV Mixes Things Up
I don’t know how PC this is and I’m sure if you came back and read this in 10 or 20 years it would sound really bad but I mean it in the best way possible. There’s no doubt that TV is still white washed and maybe even segregated to some extent. I believe this [...]
