Thursday Night Mid-Season Finale

SPOILERS: Bones, Big Bang Theory, and a hell-of-a-lot-of Sanctuary

All I can say is, this is the most daunting post ever. Bones, ok. BBT, ok. FOUR episodes of Sanctuary in one post?! I'm almost glad I didn't take notes cause if I did my usual play-by-play this would be way too freakishly long. Thank goodness one of them is Breach which, while a good episode, doesn't require much commenting.

However, this is a lot of stuff to cover, in Bones as well, so if any of your burning questions or fond memories are not covered, let me know. I'll either add in another section or bump up your chosen episode to a separate review (which means me re-watching it and taking notes).

Hobey ho, let's go.

(Twenty points to anyone who gets that reference - and in advance, you are awesome)

Another thing to tide you over...

Still working, still catching up on TV. Bones made a comeback, by the way, with a hell of an episode "The Doctor in the Photo", and Sanctuary tied up their Father Jensen storyline nicely and is headed toward Hollow Earth next week.

Plus, I know I've said this before but, Jonathan Young is so great as Nikola Tesla on Sanctuary. Who else can make walking away saying "you're welcome" after unbuttoning a woman's shirt with magnetic powers while she awkwardly flirts with another character [below, on the right] so wonderfully snarky and hilarious? Once I find a clip of that scene, I'm posting it here, let me know if you find it!

Speaking of clips, here's two more to keep you going. Taylor the Latte Boy and Taylor's Response - these have been playing out of my headphones all finals week. These are my favorite performances; the original song doesn't have a set girl's name in it (it's not from a show) which is why the name changes from Kristen to Lindsey. Enjoy!

Thursday November 11 and 18, 2010

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.

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"

Thursday, October 14, 2010 (plus Sanctuary premiere!)

SPOILERS: Big Bang Theory, Bones, Sanctuary

Delay, yes, almost late, yes. I've decided that since Thursday is a little lacking, I'm tossing in Sanctuary as well (also, there's nothing else on Friday nights cause...well, it's Friday night and on any channel except SyFy that's not a good night).

Episode of the Day: Sanctuary, "Kali Part 3" (Not perfect, but an extremely excellent premiere)

Thursday, October 7, 2010

SPOILERS: Big Bang Theory and Bones

Ditto as before, not enough time, bullets, blah blah blah.

Episode of the Day: Bones, "The Maggots in the Meathead"

Thursday, September 30, 2010

SPOILERS: Bones and Big Bang Theory

Ahhh, behind. Also, not really the bestest episodes I've ever really seen, so this is short and sweet.

Episode of the Day: Neither. Not a very good day.

Tuesday September 21 and Thursday September 23

SPOILERS: Glee, Warehouse 13, NCIS, Bones, and Big Bang Theory

Yes, yes, yes, I'm very behind. Sooo, very very behind. As my finger has made a full recovery, I'm now desperately trying to catch up. Which means no pics, sorry, and not the long drawn out analysis I really wanted to do (which Glee desperately needs, I got a lot to say about the premiere episode). SO I'm doing this bullet style straight from my notes. Sorry if my lack of formatting or paragraphs bugs you. You should leave a comment and let me know that.

Just a suggestion.

Anyways, episode of the day(s) : Big Bang Theory "The Robotic Manipulation"

Bones Season 5 Finale - "The Beginning in the End"

SPOILERS: Thursday's episode

Sorry for the delay, but to be honest, I wasn't really driven to write this review. It was a good episode, a cute episode, a lovable episode - but not a great episode. This episode was so hyped up as "the one that change everything," but to be honest, compare it to the season 1 or season 3 finales and it just doesn't hold its own.

Famous Actors: Whedon Characters versus Others

SPOILERS: Basic info on Whedon shows, no real spoilers

I found this article through a Bones blog because it references David Boreanaz. This is a really funny article that looks at actors who are famous for playing a "Whedon character" (an iconic character in a Joss Whedon show) versus other roles they've become famous for. I agree with a few points, disagreed with a few, and was shocked at Morena Baccarin's other role! Also, I got mad that Alan Tudyk was missing, so I wrote my own. Take a look, read what I thought, and post your opinion!
