SPN 5x15 'Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid'

Check it out everyone, a Supernatural review! Sorry about the hiatus everyone, but I’m back to recap the rest of the season for you, and hopefully you will find these recaps interesting and worthwhile to read!

This week’s episode, ‘Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid’, was filled with Supernatural’s usual gruesome irony and shocking revelations, and after a long wait for the show to return I was definitely not left disappointed!

Movie Review : Valentine’s Day

Valentine's Day Poster

Although this is primarily a television blog, occasionally we may come across a film, music or a book that we think our readers will enjoy, and alert you to that fact. And alas, this week despite my better judgement, I ended up in a cinema watching Valentine’s Day: and here’s the kicker – I kinda enjoyed it. Sure, it wasn’t the most highbrow of movies, but I would say it was enjoyable, if a little depressing in the way that romcoms always are to us singletons. So I thought I would report back for all those teetering on the edge of indecision about whether to see it. Read on for cuteness and criticism:

Fringe Theory: Taking Sides

Peter's "Weird Connection"?

Hello and Happy Valentine’s Day! Today I was going to bring you the next installment in my occasion-themed blogs by doing the Top 5 Romantic TV Episodes. However, I felt writing a blog about romance before reaching the Mulder/Scully eps in The X-Files would be useless as so many consider them the couple. So look forward to that at some point in the future. Instead, I thought I’d bring you something a little more on the Fringe (and possibly romantic) – some reflections on the Winter finale and maybe a little theory or two…

Lost 6×01 – LA X Roundtable

This week Lost smashed back onto our screens with its stunning two-hour premiere, LA X. The new episode also marks a new style for this blog – with both myself and Selina doing a roundtable-type post, which will hopefully give some different aspects and opinions while remaining quite concise – brevity does not tend to be our strong point, so we thought we’d spare the uber-rambling posts and go for something a little more… dare I say it… out of the box. Ohhh I make myself laugh if no one else…

Read on for commentary, criticisms and… Claire?!?

Five in Focus: Buffy The Vampire Slayer

What is this?

Five In Focus is a monthly column we will be running here in the Box where we will take one television show a month and choose our top five episodes of all time. This month it’s me, Selina, and next month it will be Aly. I chose Buffy because this might just be my favorite television show of all time; certainly it was the show which introduced me to “fandom” and all that came with it, so this should be fun. For other shows, Aly and I might do separate lists if we’ve both watched them, and we will continue to do this until we run out of shows. Individual in-depth episode reviews might also follow. Because this is our first month, I am not planning to review any of my top five as of now, but look for reviews in the future. Enjoy, and leave us a comment!

Lost: The End is Nigh

To say we’re two massive Lost fans who founded this blog mainly to pontificate about it, it’s crazy to think neither of us have even posted about Lost yet. But alas, the day of doom is fast approaching us, and as we all wait with bated breath for the final (*sniff*) premiere, I thought it would be nice to discuss the impact Lost has had on us, the world, and some things I’m looking forward to in season six. Besides y’know… getting my life back.

Midseason Report

By Aly, January 24, 2010 6:57 am

So firstly, I apologise that all my posts right now seem to be lists. It’s generally how I organise my life, but I promise in the future I’ll do more show-specific less-list-like blogs. Anyways, with most shows on a temporary hiatus coming out of the Christmas season, I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on the first half of the shows we’ve been watching this year. I had intended to write individual reviews for these episodes, but honestly I have just not had the time, so instead I thought I’d do a general review of them all. Many of the shows featured here are those which I pre-empted in this post, so it should be interesting to compare my expectations to my reactions. Enjoy!

Supernatural 5×11 ‘Sam, Interrupted’ Review

Supernatural is baaaack! And more importantly… so am I! Haha, just kidding. I believe this is what they call, “delusions of grandure.” Badam-bam.

So um, yeah, terrible jokes aside, let’s get to talking about this week’s episode! Did it remind anyone else of “Folsom Prison Blues” like, way?! I suppose there’s only so many ways they can do a story like this. Personally though, I was never a big fan of prison stories early on because I just wanted the boys out on the road, but at this point it’s almost a relief when they get a moment to breathe, as it were, a break from the apocalypse.
