The Walking Dead: Season 2 Episode 10 - 18 Miles Out

2012-02-27T09:38:00.000-05:00

Hello fellow Walkers! Well, if anyone has been starving for action on this show, I think the latest episode paid out in huge dividends! It was a more focused story on our 2 former cops settling out some issues in a confrontation that was long overdue. For anyone who was tired of the farm action (or non-action), there was only a small storyline there. A relevant storyline to some overall

Fringe: Season 4 Episode 14 - The End of All Things

2012-02-25T10:23:00.002-05:00

WOW!! Just WOW! That is what good television looks like people. If anyone out there thought season 4 started off slow, I would think a majority of them should feel that it's all paying off now. The show-runners and writers are weaving a pretty brilliant story for us throughout this season. This episode was very poignant in advancing the season's story as well as the entire series story.

Alcatraz: Season 1 Episode 7 - Johnny McKee

2012-02-20T22:50:00.002-05:00

Hello fellow inmates! Alcatraz still has my curiosity peaked 7 episodes in. Interesting criminal stories, interesting guard "story" and interesting surrounding cast that may or may not be involved in this mystery. TV Guide had a good interview with the executive producers today discussing burning questions the fans are having. It's mainly the stuff we've been wondering about. Some of

The Walking Dead: Season 2 Episode 9 - Triggerfinger

2012-02-20T09:14:00.001-05:00

Welcome Dead Heads! So, was that episode a little better for everyone? The intensity most certainly picked up. The gore factor was at a level that we've come to expect on the show. (There was at least one sequence where I almost turned my head) Yet still, all of the story-building that happened in the first half of the season continued to play out in a way that, to me, was more meaningful

Fringe: Season 4 Episode 13 - A Better Human Being

2012-02-18T09:36:00.005-05:00

Have I mentioned to you guys how hooked I am on Fringe these days!? Okay, I know, I pretty much have mentioned it after every new episode has aired over the last couple years. But, WOW. Last night's episode was another fantastic progression of the story this season, as well as a solid individual case. And, I'm guessing if anyone watched the previews for next week they couldn't be more

Alcatraz: Season 1 Episode 6 - Paxton Petty

2012-02-13T22:39:00.001-05:00

Welcome back to the Rock everyone! We had another thriller of a manhunt complete with twists and advancements on the giant mystery. You can tell they're looking to find a good balance of "prisoner of the week" stories vs. overall story. And it seems like they're finally finding some good uses for Jorge Garcia's comic relief. I'm enjoying the ride every Monday night and hope to continue

The Walking Dead: Season 2 Episode 8 - Nebraska

2012-02-13T09:42:00.002-05:00

Welcome back Walkers! It has only been a few weeks in the scheme of things but it seems like ages since what the producers are referring to as "BARNAGEDDON!!" What a great cliffhanger to end things on and what a way to pick things up again! I'll happily give this Season 2.5 premiere a giant WOW, but I'm sure others will complain about the pacing again and lack of "walker activity." But,

Fringe: Season 4 Episode 12 - Welcome to Westfield

2012-02-11T10:12:00.002-05:00

Welcome Fringe fanatics! I have to tell you, this season just keeps getting better and better. And with last night's episode the show was at an all-time high! The case of the week perfectly captured the essence of the overall theme of this season and opened the door to other possibilities for what on earth is going on. There is a tried and true saying that I live by with shows like this (

Alcatraz: Season 1 Episode 5 - Guy Hastings

2012-02-06T23:04:00.000-05:00

Hello Alcatrazians! Well, this was probably the best episode to date and shows a lot of potential for its future. In class JJ Abrams form, our main characters are more integral to the central plot than they even realized. (This is why I have faith that Hurley/Soto will eventually get a meatier part in this story) So Monday night television just got 2 times as busy for me so let's not

Fringe: Season 4 Episode 11 - Making Angels

2012-02-04T11:12:00.004-05:00

Hello everyone and WOW! I had heard that we were in for some good stuff with last night's episode but it exceeded my expectations. Episodes like last night is what makes season 4's overall plot totally worth it for me. There is a larger plot going on here folks and we peered into the eyes of the observers and it was fantastic! Definitely things to discuss and I'll get to them. But let me

Alcatraz: Season 1 Episode 4 - Cal Sweeney

2012-01-30T22:54:00.001-05:00

Hello fellow inmates! I'm really enjoying our visit to Alcatraz this year. They are building up a repertoire of very memorable and highly dangerous prisoners while expanding the mystery of their reappearance in the present day. There were a few more interesting tidbits added tonight that I'll mention below. Let's not waste any time and dive right in. Cal Sweeney So we learned that

Fringe: Season 4 Episode 10 - Forced Perspective

2012-01-28T09:19:00.002-05:00

Hello Fringe fandom! Another solid episode out of the Fringe factory last night. We were back into "Myth-alone" case mode with the Fringe team tackling a case where the theme tied in very centrally to the current overarching plot of the show. Lots of Observer talk, Olivia Death talk, Massive Dynamic/Nina drama and Peter stuff all encircling a case about a girl who could vividly see a

Alcatraz: Season 1 Episode 3 - Kit Nelson

2012-01-23T23:12:00.004-05:00

Hello TV Addicts and welcome to THE ROCK! (when will that get old?) I thoroughly enjoyed following our 3rd case in the new JJ Abrams drama. The whole "prisoner/guard per week" angle may tire on some of us serial TV fans eventually, but for now it still feels fresh. And I feel we're getting enough mythological tidbits to keep us satisfied. Like I mentioned before, it feels very FRINGE-ish

Catch-Up Discussions on Fringe and Alcatraz

2012-01-21T12:02:00.000-05:00

Hello TV Addicts! I'm finally back from my trip and am able to spend a few minutes dissecting 2 awesome shows that aired over the past week and change. I will be brief because I have 4 hours worth of TV to cover, but I'm still open for massive amounts of discussion if need be! I'll try to get back on schedule this coming week for Alcatraz and Fringe, but due to new and exciting changes in my

TV Addicts Blog Hiatus: Fringe, Alcatraz Discussion (Sorry!)

2012-01-13T22:00:00.000-05:00

Hello TV Addicts! I've been pretty up front about my current situation with blogging but I just wanted to apologize again that I will not be able to post a timely recap for the winter return of Fringe (possibly next Friday's ep too) and the series premiere of Alcatraz. I will be out of town showing off/introducing my newborn to family and friends. I don't know about you, but I can't think of a

It's a boy!!

2012-01-03T09:58:00.001-05:00

Hello all of my virtual TV Addict friends! I just wanted to share with you the happy news that my wife and I have brought a new little TV Addict into the world. Parker Anthony V. (Gotta stick with his Daddy's blogging handle for the last name. :-)) came into the world on 12/29 at 8:33am weighing 7lbs 11oz and measuring 20.5 inches long. So far he's sleeping through the day and keeping his

Terra Nova: Season 1 Episode 12 & 13 - Occupation / Resistance

2011-12-20T01:47:00.003-05:00

Well kids, we made it through season 1 of Terra Nova! How did we fare? It wasn't the worst show in the world, and naturally far from the best. But, I was entertained in any case. Season 1 will be known for its over-the-top acting, intentionally (hopefully) cheesy dialogue/moments and spectacular High Definition scenery. But, for the most part it was a feel good show that entertained.

Terra Nova: Season 1 Episode 11 - Within

2011-12-12T23:12:00.001-05:00

Hello Terra Novians and welcome back for more recapping! This season is building up to one climactic showdown as we close in on the 2 hour season/series finale next week. Mostly what I read seems to indicate that we'll at LEAST see a season 2 of this show to help justify all of the work that went into producing the show (location, effects, various rewrites, etc...). And based on how the

Sons of Anarchy: Season 4 Episode 14 - To Be (Part 2)

2011-12-07T08:26:00.001-05:00

Whew, I'm exhausted after this season folks. High stakes, high drama, high caliber acting, awesome twists. Kurt Sutter messed with our heads and divided the fans of this show into 2 groups. 1.) Those who thought the show would take the ultimate risk of killing off a lead character in the middle of a show's run. 2.) Those who just KNEW there would be some twist that would force that same

Sons of Anarchy: Season 4 Episode 13 - To Be (Part 1)

2011-11-30T08:47:00.001-05:00

Well, it's happening folks. I just can't let an episode go by without mentioning something about this show! Plus, with us being so close to the end of the season I figured I should just finish it out with some dedicated posts to the show. And WOW what an incredible season it has been. I can see why Sutter wanted to split this finale into 2 episodes and not cut anything. Everything in this

Terra Nova: Season 1 Episode 10 - Now You See Me

2011-11-28T22:03:00.001-05:00

Hello Past Dwellers from the future! We're back with another installment of Terra Nova. This season is sprinting towards its close with only 2 more episodes left (12/12 and 12/19). It is unclear whether it will return for a 2nd season (full or another half) but with its ratings holding pretty stable, it is a strong possibility. The show has become a reliable source of entertainment on

The Walking Dead: Season 2 Episode 7 - Pretty Much Dead Already

2011-11-28T06:39:00.001-05:00

Yikes!! Hello Walkers!! Well, is this the episode everyone was waiting for? I'm sure it was. Brilliant from start to finish and wouldn't have been half as impactful without the 6 episodes and pacing that led up to it. (not to mention the 6 episodes of season 1 that added to it as well) All of these emotions and conflicts between characters brewing and culminating in one grand

Sons of Anarchy: Season 4 Episode 12 - Burnt and Purged Away (quick thoughts)

2011-11-23T10:43:00.001-05:00

Well don't get used to this folks! But, I just happened to have the day off and felt the need to post a separate post on the latest Sons of Anarchy episode, setting up the 2-Part Season Finale! Because, man was it intense! Every episode this season has been intense and each one more intense than the one before. Some serious stuff is going down at SAMCRO and we need to discuss them and how

Terra Nova: Season 1 Episode 9 - Vs

2011-11-21T22:17:00.001-05:00

Well folks, we finally got what we were asking for! An episode that primarily deals with the overarching mythology of Terra Nova. It probably will be a disappointment for anyone who was expecting some major twists with altering time and all of that fun stuff. It was a pretty basic reveal, but still meaningful enough to keep me tuned in to see how it will all turn out. Another enjoyable

The Walking Dead: Season 2 Episode 6 - Secrets

2011-11-21T08:52:00.001-05:00

Well folks, this is why we invest in these shows! Big payoff episodes like this. The aptly titled "secrets" episode is when ALL (and I mean all) secrets between characters were outed paving the road to all hell breaking loose in the very near future. Throw on time of that a few zombie whackings and you have yourself one intesely satisfying Walking Dead episode! I give this episode my WOW
