TV Review: Mad Men 4.5: The Chrysanthemum and the Sword
A team of three is beginning to become very plainly clear to be the real heart and minds behind SCDP and one of those three doesn’t even have their name on the sign. Don, Lane, and Pete are clearly the movers and shakers of the firm and if anyone doubted Pete before they can not […]
Fall TV Preview: ABC’s “No Ordinary Family” Review
ABC’s No Ordinary Family is bound to catch a lot of comparisons to NBC’s recently demised Heroes. Why?

In Heroes, every character seemed to lament their change to superhero status, while in No Ordinary Family the characters […]
TV Review: Mad Men 4.4: The Rejected

TV Reveiw: Mad Men 4.3: The Good News
I think a better title for this episode would have been, “Don and Lane’s Excellent New Years Adventure.” That segment last night was hands down the funniest seven minutes or so of Mad Men in this viewer’s opinion and was a brilliant addition to an already terrific season of Mad Men. But we will get […]

Its Christmas time at SCDP and the office party keeps getting smaller.

“Who is Don Draper?” A man who won’t meddle with the meddlers apparently, as the Season 4 premiere of “Mad Men” showed us. The show picks up almost a year after the coup of Sterling Cooper, and the formation of the new Sterling Cooper Draper & Price. With their swanky new table-less offices, full of […]

Lost: Season 6 – Episode 6.12 – Everybody Loves Hugo – Recap/Review
OK, it has been a couple days now, so I will spare you any elaborate recap and just get to my thoughts on the episode. I love the way the Sideways world is developing. This was a fantastic next step following the revelatory Desmond episode last week. Libby and Hurley are the perfect characters to […]
