One of the big issues on 24 this season is whether torture methods are ever justified. That was especially prevalent in this week’s episode, when Jack Bauer hammered the electrical impulses into Burnett while snarling, “Where’s the target?!” Elsewhere in the White House, we’ve got the President and her minions discussing whether torture is an […]
On my mind this week is a love/hate relationship with Buffy and Angel, a flashback to Nick Bockwinkel and Larry Zbyszko, a return to my hard rock roots, and my spot-on theory about Lost.

OK, so I was wrong about Patty. After last week’s episode of Damages, I said that Patty would never take a hit for Uncle Pete the way he did for her. But this week’s episode proved me wrong. Or at least, I think it proved me wrong. Uncle Pete died, so we have no way of […]

The 81st Annual Academy Awards is already becoming a distant memory, but I live-blogged the entire show (including red carpet — hey, maybe I deserve an award!), and have a few things to say about it: Loved Hugh Jackman as host. It’s just not right that someone so good-looking is not only a great actor, […]
I had a feeling that there was more to Uncle Pete than meets the eye. Turns out he’s got a rap sheet a mile long: burglary, larceny, using neighborhood kids to run a numbers racket, you name it. But Patty’s been getting him off all these years. He’s her mother’s brother, and “the most loyal […]
