A cute blond teenage girl with special powers wages war against demons of the underworld. Sound familiar? No, I’m not referring to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but rather Britain’s answer to Joss Whedon’s classic girl-power series. Hex lasted two short seasons from 2004-2005 and currently doesn’t air on BBC America. However, the first season is […]
I’m a nerd. I’m not sure if this has come through in my writing to this point, but if it hasn’t, this post will make it clear. As part of being a nerdy hipster, I listen to NPR, and in particular, have an enormous fondness for This American Life. It’s the one radio show and […]

Read on, and please add your own clacks in the comments below. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is driving me nuts. I’m […]
If it wasn’t for the fact that I usually have nothing else to watch at 9 PM on Friday night — that is, nothing that’s not already sitting on my DVR on in a Netflix envelope — I’ll continue to watch Dollhouse. So far the show’s a big disappointment, and what doesn’t help at all […]
