Five Awesome Things About the New 'Doctor Who'...
5. Kissy kissy with River Song.
4. The sonic screwdriver looks like its shooting lasers.
3. Amy Pond. Holding a gun.
2. The Doctor, bearded.
1. This fun little exchange … Vader-voiced baddie: “Fear me, I’ve killed hundreds of Time Lords.” The Doctor: “Fear me. I’ve killed all of them.”
Can. Not. Wait.

@ TV Squad: 'Stargate Universe' - 'Hope' Recap
It’s nice to know that ‘Stargate Universe’ isn’t above making a penis joke, especially in an episode so centered around death and dying. ‘Hope’ was somewhat of a nail-biter, but the writers added unexpected hits of humor to the dark and suspenseful hour, making this one of the most delightfully strange episodes of the season. Not everything worked, and it...

@ TV Squad: 'Fringe,' recapped!
I think I’m going through Fringe withdrawal. Symptoms include headaches, the sweats, and an unquenchable craving to see Ana Torv subjected to strange and brutal science experiments.
Over the past two weeks, I’ve watched more than 15 hours of Fringe in order to catch up and take over weekly recap duties for TV Squad (or AOL TV, or HuffPo TV, or whatever they decide to call it). Now,...

@ TV Squad: 'Stargate Universe' Season 2, Episode...
Now that’s what I call a comeback! This week’s episode of ‘Stargate Universe’ was one of the most compelling hours of sci-fi TV I’ve seen all season. Unlike last week’s episode, which wrapped up the events of the mid-season finale cliffhanger, ‘Twin Destinies’ worked as both a solid stand-alone mystery and as an important part of the larger...

@ TV Squad: 'Batman: The Brave and the Bold' and...
The Dark Knight’s animated adventures in ‘Batman: The Brave and the Bold’ offer a pleasant departure from Christopher Nolan’s dark and broody Bat-films. The Nolan flicks are great, but ‘Brave and the Bold’ feels almost revolutionary and, in a way, punk rock in its depiction of Bruce Wayne’s crime-fighting world as a colorful, jokey, kid’s comic...

@ TV Squad: 'Stargate Universe' Season 2, Episode...
Seeing ‘Stargate Universe’ return to Syfy after a three-month hiatus is a bittersweet experience. It’s great to finally see the Destiny crew stumbling through the cosmos again, but it’s hard to get over the fact that this journey has an expiration date that’s fast approaching. Until we hear otherwise, we’re assuming that these are the final 10 episodes of...

OK 'Thor,' now I'm paying attention
This thing is so insane, it’s an enemy of Batman.

2001: A Self-Absorbed Odyssey
2001. Ten years. Was it really that long ago?
It was the year that I — lacking any special knowledge or a real education — decided that my opinion mattered more.
2001. The year I decided to become (gasp!) a blogger.
I started Shady Lane Radio that year, a blog and online radio station that I then described as “an internet radio station streaming indie rock and pop, alt country and...

Check the Lyrics: Donald Glover's 'Freaks and...
Yoyoyoyoyoyoyo … Childish Gambino’s (Donald Glover) new video for ‘Freaks and Geeks’ is a minimalist masterpiece of one-man dance party cinema-ism. Watch it above and check my favorite lyrics from the track below. (Boy can turn a phrase, tho!)
“The beat is witches brew, but beware this shit is potent E.e. cummings on her face, now that’s poetry in motion”
“Fly girl on her knees, she don’t...

@ TV Squad: 'ReBoot' released on DVD
Before ‘The Matrix,’ there was ‘ReBoot.’ OK, maybe that’s taking it a little too far, but it’s hard not to overstate the importance and influence of ‘ReBoot’ — it was the first fully computer-generated animated TV series, after all. The sci-fi adventure series, which aired on Saturday mornings in the U.S. in the mid 1990s, stood out not...
