SPOILERS: Big Bang Theory, Bones, Riese, and Sanctuary

Yep, yep, yep, still behind, catching up, here's last week and the week before for these shows. Trail of Blood still on it's way, I swear, Animus was also another knock out of an episode. Really, Sanctuary is on a roll this season, there's not a single episode that didn't end without me anxiously ready for the next week. Plus yesterday?! I mean, that was a Magnus-fest, and a wonderful one.

Also, you get to hear me snap when it comes to Bones this season.

Tuesday November 9 and 16, 2010

SPOILERS: Glee, Riese, Stargate Universe, and NCIS

Hello world! I am writing to you (and programing from) the glorious Pittsburgh airport, in a desperate attempt to fulfill my promise to catch up. Ehhhhh. More and more bullets. And don't even think about an episode of the day. Or pictures. I'm that behind, sorry.

Also, I've come to the conclusion that it's not Amanda Tapping's fault. Not even Morgan Freeman could make the Riese narration bearable.

Finally, I've got a question for all the SGU watchers: At the end of last weeks episode, did Rush deliberately miss? I'm not sure myself. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Monday November 8 and 15, 2010

SPOILERS: House, Chuck, and Castle

And, I'm back! I've survived my birthday and a hell week of work all to bring you the glory of my opinion on the latest episodes of major television series. Miss me?

Episode of the Day: Ah, screw it, too many to deal with. And bullet form, by the way.

Delay of Game Penalty

Sorry guys, I'm totally swamped with work this week. And by swamped I mean one test, one large paper, multiple programming assignments, a Linux program to set up for research even though I use Windows, and multiple problem sets.

I'll try to catch up as soon as possible, but we're looking at a double week here: I'll post both weeks info in one day post.

Except for my Trail of  Blood review. It's still on it's own. It's late, I know, but it's going to be a masterfully written epic piece of awesome devoted to analyzing the wittiness of the dialouge, the implications of both storylines, combined with a tad bit of adoration of the masterful acting skills belonging to Amanda Tapping, Johnathan Young, and Ryan Robbins.

Just wanted to let you all know: I'm not lazy or dead, I'm just a busy college student.

SPOILERS: Big Bang Theory, Riese, and Bones

Once again, Sanctuary pulled out one hell of an episode, thanks to the pure genius that is Johnathan Young as Nikola Tesla. Seriously that man is wonderful. The only reason he isn't a main character is because his character is so well done there is no way to work it so he would join the Sanctuary team without fans crying foul.

Oh, but don't forget about the guest stars on the other shows - BBT had Eliza Dushku (Buffy, Tru Calling, Dollhouse) and Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson (director of the Hayden Planeterium and my boss' boss over the summer) and Bones brought in tWitch from So You Think You Can Dance.

And Riese....well, you know how I feel about Riese. Nothing changed. More cute kidnapped tattooed babies though!

Episode of the Day[s]: Yeah, no question here, Sanctuary, "Trail of Blood"

Which is why, PSYCH, it's getting it's own recap. So it's not actually in this post. Just thought you should know how awesome it was.

So, episode of Thursday: Big Bang Theory, "The Apology Insufficiency"

Tuesday November 2, 2010

SPOILERS: Riese and Stargate Universe

No NCIS or Glee, so this was a thoroughly Sci-fi/SyFy day. Though the best sci-fi of the week honor most certainly goes to Sanctuary (more on that later), Stargate Universe did pull out a good episode.

As for Riese....Ehh. One plus, however, is one of the cutest kidnapped tattooed babies ever. Really. So adorable.

Monday November 1, 2010

SPOILERS: Chuck and Castle

Who's awesome? This guy...

Oooh, it's November. Hope you all had a good Halloween and maybe even made it to the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear like me! According to lots of fancy websites, November is sweeps month. I'm not sure quite what that means, but the result is that we'll be seeing all our favorite shows trying to pull out all the stops to woo us over the coming weeks.

And I totally love pandering. Bring it. Guest stars, plots twists, and cliffhangers galore.

Episode of the Day: Chuck, "Chuck versus the First Fight" because of this guy [above]. Timothy Dalton. Aka James Bond (The Living Daylights and License to Kill), albeit for a short period of time. 

By the way, when I say "Spoilers", this time I really mean it. There is a massive Chuck spoiler after the jump. Really. Don't ruin this episode for yourself by reading it if you plan on watching the show soon. I'll put the Castle review first. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Thursday/Friday October 28/29

SPOILERS: Big Bang Theory, Riese, and Sanctuary

Henry (to Magnus): "I do tech, you do drugs...You know what I mean"

Thursday was lacking in Bones, but Friday totally made up for it. Sanctuary had another stellar hell of an episode except this time it really was one a newcomer to the show could watch and enjoy. On top of that I finally realized my subconscious desire to see Sam Carter rob a bank, Chevron Guy made an appearance, and then Sanctuary went for a trifecta by following it up with the best preview a fan of Nikola Tesla can ask for. Oh, and there were other shows on too.

Episode of the Day: Sanctuary, "The Bank Job" [quote above]

Tuesday October 26, 2010

SPOILERS: Stargate Universe, NCIS, Glee, and Riese

Tuesday also turned out to be a hell-of-a-day, which would explain why it took be three days to catch up on all of it. It made me 1) feel emotions for Matthew Scott on SGU, 2) become terrified about Abby's mental health on NCIS, 3) come to the realization that Amanda Tapping is no Morgan Freeman, and 4) once again question what the hell determines what gets censored on Glee. 

And in case you're confused, Reise (a.k.a. Riese: Kingdom Falling) is a web series that was just officially picked up SyFy and is now being put up in pieces online on the SyFy website and Hulu. I'm not familiar with it, but the cast is a who's who of minor actors from other SyFy shows, and it's narrated by Amanda Tapping, so I thought I'd give it a chance and let you know what I think. The theme is typical fantasy with a steampunk sense of style.

Episode of the Day: Glee, "Rocky Horror Glee Show"
