Weekly Gleek Report – “Silly Love Songs” Valentines Episode
Tonight Glee returned to its regular Tuesday schedule with their Valentine’s Day episode. While it wasn’t as “big” or flashy as Sunday’s Superbowl episode, Silly Love Songs still managed to advance the story and incorporate a few good performances…but not without a few hiccups along the way. One of the biggest problems with Glee is […]
Superbowl Special: Gleek Report “The Sue Sylvester Bowl Shuffle”
If there was any doubt that Glee deserved its three Golden Globes this year, the Superbowl episode promptly removed it. In its first episode back since early December, Glee capitalized on the biggest sporting/marketing event of the year by integrating football into its enormously popular formula. It even utilized the time honored tradition of beginning […]
Another Take By Zac: TV Review: The Walking Dead: 1.5: Wildfire & 1.6: TS-19
I know, I know! “It’s been over a week since the finale and three weeks since your last review; what the hell!” Well I will just blame Thanksgiving, deal? Any who, the first season has ended for the Walking Dead and while I enjoyed it I hope that the second season allows them to flesh […]
Weekly Gleek Report: A Very “Glee” Christmas
Let me start off by saying that I did not have very high hopes for this week’s Christmas episode of Glee. For some reason, the warm comfort of Christmas music and the cool, sleek style of Glee just didn’t seem like they’d mesh. I guess I was right and wrong. The problems start right off […]
Weekly Gleek Report – “Special Education” (Sectionals)
The Glee kids were off to sectionals this week, but not before learning a valuable lesson about team spirit…a lesson that took about three quarters of the episode for the kids to learn. The episode starts with Mr. Schue discussing the upcoming Sectionals competition with colleague and love interest Emma Pillsbury. She inspires him to […]
Another Take By Zac: TV Review: The Walking Dead 1.4: Vatos
Vatos, The Walking Dead’s fourth episode, sees the return of zombie action and a large chunk of the cast won’t be back for week 5. The Atlanta plot line didn’t really move that much forward this week other than the discovery of a new batch of survivors in a nursing home being protected by a […]
Weekly Gleek Report – “Furt” w/ Guest Star Carol Burnett
Answer: Underwhelming. Question: What word best describes tonight’s episode of Glee? Tonight Glee had so much going for it…two weddings, a hefty dose of time with Sue, a decent message about bullying and Carol-freaking-Burnett and yet it was the worst possible thing any piece of entertainment can be…boring. Allow me to set the stage with […]
Weekly Gleek Report: The Substitute w/ Guest Star Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow joined the Glee cast this week as Ms. Holly Holliday, the substitute teacher. The turn of events that brings Ms. Holliday into William McKinley High involves a bizarre strain of “monkey flu” that not only strikes Mr. Schue, but also Principal Figgins. The absurdity of this plot device, which is established within the […]
Another Take By Zac: TV Review: The Walking Dead 1.3 Tell It To The Frogs
The third entry into the series is the least zombie filled episode yet, and while that was a tad disappointing, focusing on the humans was almost just as engaging and compelling as the rest of the series. Thankfully we find out, and maybe this was expressed last week and I just missed it, that the […]
Another Take By Zac: TV Review: The Walking Dead 1.2: Guts
“Guts” is the second episode in this first season of The Walking Dead and the intensity and creativity of the series is still in full swing. Again the episode primarily focuses on Rick and his adventures in Atlanta and how the hell he gets out of that tank we left him in. Surprisingly the solution […]
