(Season 3, Episode 12) After watching the series finale of Carnivale, all I could think about was how and why HBO canceled this show. I just don’t understand it. I suppose it had to do with ratings and money, as most of these decisions do, but I’m still pretty pissed. I can only imagine that Daniel […]
(Season 5, Episodes 15-16) It wasn’t the most fascinating or compelling case, but episode 14’s terminated teacher was left in the middle, with Ellenor essentially challenging Principal Steven Harper (Chi McBride) to a court battle.

Now, however, I’ve carved out some time and […]

(Season 5, Episodes 7-9) I’m completely not surprised to discover that Michael Emerson won an Emmy for his work on The Practice. Anyone who marvels at the character Benjamin Linus on Lost need only look to Emerson’s turn as William Hinks to see just how expert the actor is at this type of psychopath. And […]
