So I've been watching the season and series premieres that strike my fancy. I've liked "Chuck" for the action/humor and clever patter. Also, twice in the pilot episode Chuck mentions Zork. And I have a fondness for Zork, since my dad was the president of the company that formed to produced Zork (and I played it long before it was commercially available). Even if the game did have one honking big flaw.
"Journeyman" is intriguing. And I like it, but it is one of those you have to PAY ATTENTION TO or you'll miss something. But it doesn't seem to be one that hinges on seeing *every* single episode or you are lost. Yes, there is a through story-line but it seems like the primary story for each of his "jumps" into the past are episode enclosed. The secondary story seems to be the through-line of his wife and job and family. As long as you go in thinking, okay he has trouble with all the real-life stuff, you can pick it up or put it down and won't get confused if you miss an ep or three.
Loved loved loved for the absurdity and cleverness and all-around storytelling of "Pushing Daisies." It is completely cute, and the way it is filmed in such bright color reminds me of the way they created Edward Scissorhands with the houses all in bright candy colors. I hope we see the Aunts again and again, because they were just too wonderful characters to let alone (The red haired Aunt most everyone will recognize, and why, yes, we've seen the dark haired Aunt before... She was Audrey in the movie version of "Little Shop of Horrors.").
Most of the season premieres have been okay - nothing really special yet. And I haven't been able to see the season finale of Eureka - but I'll see the SciFi channel streaming online of it sometime this weekend.
OMG!!! How awesome was this season ender? Can't wait for the whole of season two to come out on disc, because I'm pretty sure I missed an episode here or there. And we're making our way through season one, because, well, we haven't seen the bulk of those episodes, yet.
It really was a satisfying end to the season - and bringing us full circle with the last shot mirroring the same shot in the pilot, beautiful! Well done! Yaye! Kripke is made of win! \o/
It's definitely a creeper thing to do. I mean, most people would have come across that photo and been vaguely nostalgic, maybe smiled a little, and then put it with the rest of their photos. But he…
After thinking about it for a couple of days I did send him a reply thanking him for the picture and sort of gently chided him about the EGO involved in thinking he was the "last person" I'd want to…
