"I'm here, she's here, we made it."
Indeed, we have made it. It's really happening. In 4 short weeks I am headed to Chicago to meet up with loyal blog-followers Fu, Des and Jenni. I am so very excited to spend a weekend watching our favorite episodes, reminiscing about the good old days of Alias (or TV in general) and actually SEEING each other in real life.
And again, another thank you to all who made and still make this blog what it was and still is- a place for smart people, who enjoy smart TV to talk. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of that happening once I arrive in Illinois. Stay tuned!!

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 1810 Newer› Newest»Thanks, Uncle. The fact that it's a 5 year old blog post takes some of the swagger out of the accomplishment. I remember when GS used to do 5 posts in a day instead of 1 in 5 years.
"Firefly" (Jewel Staite) meets "Alias" (Victor Garber) meets "Warehouse 13" (Genelle Williams).
Currently in the middle of S2 of "Condor" and just starting S2 of "Hanna". Feels good to trust no one.
When BLM gets done ripping down Mount Rushmore, I think they should replace it with Syd, Dixon (pre-corn-rows version), Marshall and Jack.
Or......Chuck, Morgan, Sarah and Casey.
Or......Olivia, Peter, Walter and Broyles (or Astro).
I'm an idea man with ideas.
"Batwoman" is ticking all the boxes. First, she became a lesbian, now she's become a black lesbian. Next up will surely be a lesbian, black, trans-woman (maybe played by Ilhan Omar, just a thought). But let's save that for next season.
Sooooo, enjoy!
There's gotta be a job for this dude on "Batwoman".
Current Status: learning some new microaggressions for everyday use.
Remember this scene from "The Avengers"? This has Sydney Bristow written ALL OVER IT.
Current Status: vetting potential running mates for Kanye.
The 2nd comment in this 5 year old blog post was me commenting on the SDCC trailer for a new show, "Blindspot". Tonight, 99 episodes later, was the series finale. I'm just mowing down series finales this year, one right after the other. Next in my sights is MAOS.
Thinking about Regis Philbin's death today, I remember him being on David Letterman's first post-9/11 show back in 2001. This show was just 13 days before we all fell in love with Sydney Bristow. Seems like yesterday.
I think we can safely say that Dave's opinion of Mayor Guliani has suffered a bit of a meltdown since then. America's Mayor should have quit while he was ahead.
Finished off S2 of "Hanna". Much more of a "spy" type show this season. Not that Hanna is a spy, but the 'Stepford' girls she was embedded with are now out in the wild doing undercover work and wreaking murderous havoc.
Remember those crazy days when Scala and Kolacny Brothers were EVERYWHERE? I miss those days, because they were involved in a number of great shows and movies, like this beautiful promo for "Homeland". And who can forget the scene on "Covert Affairs" where Annie and her boytoy were shot? Unfortunately, clips from CA are impossible to find. There was also Jessica Chastain's "Zero Dark Thirty".
Haven't heard from them in quite a while, sadly.
Uh-oh, here's a guy just begging to be cancelled by the woke kids.
I don't subscribe to Disney+ anyway, but the idea that, if I did, I might shell out US$30 to check out "Mulan" is, um, well....bonkers.
Current status: Not an Individual With a Cervix
Just finished S2 of "Condor" (based on Three Days Of). Pretty good spy thriller. Not shy about killing off regulars, though.
God, I need this back in my life. How is it possible that this was 16 1/2 years ago?
I love me some Jen. Given the downward trajectory of her career since 2006, I'm more a fan of real-life Jen than Jen the actress. But, still.
I used to consume movies as fast as they came out, but I find myself way behind in my movie-watching these days. Now that no movies are being made, you might think that I'd be playing catch-up, but you'd be wrong. There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day (or maybe not enough days) to settle in for 3 hours to get caught up on 2 or 3 year old releases.
Another series finale in the books and I'd be lying if I said I understood everything that just happened. I always had mixed feelings about MAOS, but I liked the core group of characters and they were able to add decent characters along the way as well. Good characters can take a show a long way while you're waiting for the story to make sense.
The thing that made MAOS compelling in the first place was that S.H.I.E.L.D. was, with the exception of Daisy later on in the show, a team without super-powers. They had some good season-long arcs and a short, but very good final season. And, it was part of a dying breed: a show you could watch with Grandma. Not many of those left.
Hats of to "Marvel's Agents of Shield".
I've lost track of the slew of series enders this year, but I believe that "The 100" is next on my list in a couple of weeks.
Great, now I have one more thing to worry about: pronouncing Kamala's name right, lest I should be labelled a racist, xenophobic, homophobic, narcissistic, nazi-loving, fat-shaming trans-hater by the lefty mob.
:) :) :) :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAOS lost me when they made the big changes. Haven't seen it for quite a while.
MAOS: I'll confess that I struggled to keep up to what the heck was going on at (many) times, not at all helped by upwards of a year between episodes.
Looking forward to the return of BBC's "Strike" series. It's worth watching just to see the easy-on-the-eyes Holliday Grainger, who also starred earlier this year in "The Capture".
This series is based on a series of novels by J.K. Rowling, a woman who the wokesters have tried to have cancelled for suggesting that "people who menstruate" are also known as "women". Can't be talking truth to the wokesters. As Jack Nicholson would say, they "can't handle the truth".
Don't know if you are on Facebook, but here is JG's FB page:
https://www.facebook.com/pg/JenniferGarner/posts/?ref=page_internal
Uncle, I keep an eye on Jen's Instagram, but I never noticed her on Facebook. I'm not on FB, but fortunately her page is designed for public consumption so I can be a voyeur. She seems to have a "camera crew" living with her cuz she bangs out a lot of beautifully lit, perfectly framed home movies.
Looks like she's all in on the Biden/Harris ticket. No surprise since she'd be run out of Hollywood if she didn't bend the knee.
Gotta say, Jen makes 48 look great.
It took less than 60 seconds for Michelle Obama to start talking about shhhhhrugggles. I thought she could hold out for 90 seconds, but......NOOOOOOO.
Tell ya what, I shhhhtruggle to listen to Michelle talk. She's on mute for the duration.
Wow, Big News!! What's next, a cure for cancer?
"Death on the Nile" is Kenneth Branagh's 2nd go-round as Hercule Poirot, following up on "Murder on the Orient Express". They make these movies look so lavish, and both have had great casts, but I can't bring myself to watch them because I just can't get the whole Jessica Fletcher thing out of my head. And, of course, Poirot's brutal accent.
Remember, back in the day, when Jen was supposed to be the new Miss Marple in a movie (or series of movies) that never materialized? We'll never know whether those would have been watchable or not. She probably would have just been a hotter version of Jessica Fletcher.
Trailer for "The Batman". There seems to be an insatiable appetite for gloomy Batman movies, but I'm just not feeling it.
Broyles and Dunham from the "Fringe" pilot. Remember back in the day, when Bad Robot used to make TV shows, and some of them were very good? I can't get my head around the idea that "Fringe" debuted 12 years ago. We need a good Bad Robot show again.
I just want to go back to before.
Uh, oh. looks like "Fringe" was racist badness.
I watched it twice. The onscreen part of the show seemed fine to me. What happened behind the scenes, I have no idea.
I think we just need to agree that everyone and everything is racist and then we can all move on. I'm ready right about now.
People are just going insane. Reality doesn't exist for them any more.
Caution, celebs being celebs:
I wonder if all the pro athletes boycotting their games tonight understand that their posturing makes no difference whatsoever.
What might make a difference is if some of these black athletes would take to social media in an attempt to explain to their fans that behaving like a total jackass during an encounter with police may be detrimental to their health. It would be nice if a few of these sports "heroes" had the cojones to stand up (as opposed to kneeling) and state the bloody obvious. Not likely to happen, though. Not BLM enough.
And, as for the NBA, they can scrap the whole season as far as I'm concerned. I might not even notice.
Ha! Mike Milbury "cancelled" for having the audacity to suggest that young hockey players are susceptible to having their concentration disrupted by women. Needless to say, Twitter crapped its pants, and the dude is toast.
Let's just say, the guy wasn't wrong. Every morning I wake up praying that I might run into a woman who will disrupt my concentration. But, OMG, fire that man right now! What he said was "dangerous". Pardon me while I clutch my pearls.
Is there a snowflake on this planet that doesn't have a Twitter account?
Black Looters Matter
BLM for short.
That's good!!! :)
Having been on a superhero movie diet for quite a while, I had no idea who Chadwick Boseman was.
But, apparently, he appeared in an episode of "Fringe" in 2011, as one of Walter's Cortexiphan kids.
Current Status: male-bodied person who identifies as a male-bodied person. Otherwise known in 2020 as a visible minority.
Black Rapists Matter. No word yet on whether NBA players will postpone games in protest.
Prrrrrrobably not.
So, with the death of its lead actor, ABC opted to air "Black Panther" commercial-free tonight, which is kind of unprecedented as far as I can recall. The cynic in me sees this as ABC tripping over itself to tip the hat to BLM.
It was a respectable MARVEL movie, but, judging from the outpouring over star's death, it's obvious that it meant SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more to black viewers than it ever would to me. I'll forget it in a week, but a lot of people on social media seem to believe that they really did lose their king this week. I'm not one of those people, but losing a young life to colon cancer is still a tragic loss for any family.
Twitter is ready to cancel-culture Adele because she's wearing her hair in Bantu knots.
To which I say Adele's Life Matters.
Seriously, the idea that people take issue with this is insane.
This would have made the whole "Snowden should be executed" thing a little awkward.
"Supergirl": "Look at me, I'm the wokest show on TV today"
"Star Trek: Discovery": "Hold my beer"
Nothing says "must see TV" like the 3rd season addition of non-binary and transgender characters. Remember when "Alias" added the non-binary, transgender Lauren Reed in its 3rd season? Me neither.
Oh dear, white idiot shot by police. Does this mean I need to destroy my town and then move on to the next town and destroy it? I'm so confused. What should I do?
Maybe I'll just stay in tonight.
More hahahahahahahas, thanks to idoits gone wild.
Twitter trying to muster support for a boycott of "Mulan" because the star of "Mulan" voiced her support for the crackdown on democracy-seeking citizens.
I can see why that would not be a popular sentiment among people who don't want to be part of the Chinese surveillance-state, BUT, if I boycotted every fool in Hollywood, I would have nothing to watch....EVER, so I try very hard to separate the actor from the character.
Ha! Just another successful gender-reveal party. Guaranteed that "Dad" wears a man-bun.
I think the only new show I watched last season was "Emergence". I just noticed ABC axed it back in May. Thanks for nothing (again), ABC.
Affirmative Action comes to the Oscars. Best Picture won't be awarded to the best picture unless the best picture meets diversity requirements.
So, if I've got this straight (a word frowned upon by the "diversity" crowd), I can produce far and away the best movie of the year, but if I don't have a gay bartender or a transgender bus driver buried somewhere in my script, I'm out of luck for best picture.
Maybe the Oscars should just add a category so they can award the Best Picture and the Best Woke Picture. Win/Win.
White dude shot and killed by police, who are later charged with manslaughter. Major sporting leagues go silent in protest. Months of non-stop rioting (and some world-class looting) ensue. Celebrities post bail for those arrested for "peaceful protesting". White Lives Matter goons disrupt people trying to eat lunch on outdoor patios. Men wearing man-buns hurl insults at police. Everyone who doesn't bend the knee and raise the fist in support of the WLM rioters is labelled a racist.
Oh wait. Are you telling me that none of that response took place? Oh, that's right, it was a white dude. Sorry, my bad. Carry on then. As you were. Nothing to see here.
Lots of exposure on the tube today for Jim Caviezel's "new" movie, "Infidel". This trailer is from a year ago, but somehow the movie didn't get its 2019 release.
J.K Rowling cancelled again (this time in Vancouver) for voicing what used to be known as common sense. As we all know, common sense will no longer be tolerated.
It's good to know that Facebook will make sure that we only get the "facts" about climate change. You know, like we'll all be underwater in 5 years and extinct in 10. Yeah, those facts.
Yeah. FB wants us to believe they are champions of facts, while they delete factual posts that report news they don't like from people who don't agree with their view of things.
Madonna to write and direct a movie about her own life story.
HARD PASS!!! With any luck, climate change extinction will precede the premiere of this movie by at least an hour.
What's shocking isn't that Kanye peed on his Grammy, it's that somebody (anybody) thought that anything he's ever recorded was worthy of a Grammy.
Warner Bros. reassures the snowflakes of the world that JK Rowling is most definitely not involved with a new Harry Potter game. Because, OMG, how could a snowflake handle such a thing? I mean, being a snowflake and all.
Apparently, Warner Bros. is a pu$$y, living in mortal fear of snowflakes. Who knew?
I didn't even know She-Hulk was a thing.
Frankly, with this being 2020 and all, shouldn't this superhero be known as They-Hulk? You can't just be throwing pronouns around as if they had actual meaning. I'm outraged. I'll Tweet if I have to.
:) :) :) :)
Ten years ago, SRM posted the "Fall Spy Lineup" here at LTA. Imagine a year where there were multiple new spy shows to check out. Standouts that year were "Nikita" and "Covert Affairs", not to mention the incredibly underwhelming "Undercovers".
"Nikita" was good right out of the gate, "Covert Affairs" was lame right out the gate but later righted the ship and "Undercovers" was destined to fail spectacularly and did.
2010 also gave us "Human Target" (whatever happened to Mark Valley?).
2020's spy show lineup.........................crickets.
Celebrity white-shaming, just one of many reasons why the Emmy's are unwatchable. BTW, who the heck is Anthony Anderson?
This is a pretty interesting video. Katee Sackhoff talking about the different body types she's had for the TV and movie characters that she's played over the years. She talks about the goal of achieving certain looks for different characters and spends a lot of the video with a trainer running through her (what I would consider brutal) exercise program to get ready for an acting gig.
I've only known her mainly for 2 roles, Starbuck from BSG and Vic from "Longmire", although she was briefly on the disastrous "Bionic Woman" reboot.
We can well imagine Jen going through this kind of hell to get those Sydney Bristow shoulders we all know and love.
I must have been taking a power nap when LGBT turned into LGBTTQQIAAP.
Wow, good thing it was just a nap!!
Just looked out my front window. No sign of ANTIFA. Will check again before I go to bed. I'll leave milk and cookies in case they break in and kill me while I'm sleeping.
J.K. Rowling keeps poking the woke crowd right in the eye. Ouch.
If you're gonna get yourself cancelled, you might as well get yourself cancelled bigly.
Well, it's settle then. The Rock is endorsing Biden/Harris or as Kamala likes to call it, Harris/Biden.
Actually, The Rock would be a better candidate for the Dems than Joe Biden. I'll bet even Joe knows that. And Kamala definitely knows that.
Never doubt that it's a freak show out there.
"The 100" wraps up tonight with, fittingly, its 100th episode. The show has had its ups and downs, but this final season has been less than stellar. Running on fumes.
Just finished off the series finale of "The 100", and, yup, they broke out the Scala and Kolacny Brothers. Wasn't I just saying we haven't heard from them in a while? And, to their credit, they walked it off to U2's Bad", a classic from when U2 was, well, good.
Anyone who says they don't love ABBA is lying. Anyone who says they don't love these Swedish sisters covering "Chiquitita" is also lying.
After a 6 month COVID break, "The Walking Dead" returns for its season finale tonight. Gotta say, I don't remember where we left off.
Of course, Lauren Cohan (yup, she was on "Chuck") returns to the fold tonight after "Whisky Cavalier" crashed and burned last year (not without good reason).
I was just checking to see when the SJW remake of "Party of Five" was supposed to debut (you know, the one where the parents were deported to Mexico, unlike in the original series where the parents were killed). Seems like it already aired earlier in the year and got axed after just a few episodes.
Turns out you can't just say "deported" or "kids in cages" and guarantee 100 episodes. Who knew?
New sci-fi show debuting this week. "Next" is an "event series" about AI run amok. In other words, a glimpse into our future.
Facebook is run by pandering idiots.
RIP to "Fringe" and "The Blacklist" veteran, Clark Middleton. West Nile Virus? Gee Whiz!
He had a thing for Agent Dunham, but like me, he never stood a chance.
There's a hashtag for this. It's #gowokegobroke
I just stumbled on this tweet from Vertical Horizon about Eddie Van Halen. Who knew Vertical Horizon was still a thing?
Of course, I immediately had to go looking for something like this, because that's the sum total of everything I've ever known about Vertical Horizon. Memories of the way we were.
Flashback to Jen doing a promo interview for "The Kingdom".
So, here comes the "Dexter" reboot. "Alias"? Not so much.
Just the latest piece about why it's time for an "Alias" reboot. And, by "latest", I mean it's already 10 years since the "Alias 2.0" rumours started swirling.
#boycottNBC:
That's hilarious. I boycott NBC every day, but not because of anyone's Town Hall, just because they don't have any worthwhile programming.
Clutch those pearls, girls.
"Star Trek: Discovery" debuts their 3rd season tonight. 18 months since the last episode. I have NO recollection of what happened at the end of S2.
JJ Abrams hasn't had a show on NBC in years, but he's upset that NBC is carrying The Donald's Town Hall tonight up against Sleepy Joe's 2-hour snoozer on ABC. I'm not watching either one because they represent precious minutes of my life that I'll never get back. However, getting back to JJ (and Damon Lindelof), if HBO carries something you don't approve of, THEN you're entitled to bitch and moan. Until then.....
This ridiculous excuse for a mother thinks her 8 year-old daughter is transgender (like Bruce Jenner only 8 years old I guess).
The hell is wrong with people?
Kate Smith was wiped off the face of the earth for a couple of songs she recorded 70 years ago, but Disney is good-to-go with a simple strengthening of their racism warning for classic animated films.
Disney: Immune to Cancel Culture aka Too Big to Cancel
Kate Smith: Never Heard of Cancel Culture, Too Dead to Fight Back
Sarah Shahi does what everyone else does these days: signs on for a comic book movie.
Sigh..
PBS currently airing a long-form interview with Jen (preview here). Not sure I care enough to watch the whole thing. Haven't heard the word "Alias" yet. Still, more genuine than the usual late-night comedy show interviews. It's hard not to like Jen.
Canada, a place where a clown like this can call himself a woman, pump out very NSFW rubbish like this, and walk away with a $50,000 cash prize for "best full-length Canadian album based on artistic merit, regardless of genre, sales, or record label".
Fringe Division needs to look into this freak show, cuz somethin' ain't right.
I never understood how or why Quibi would appeal to anyone. Aaaaaaand, apparently it didn't.
Not that their programming was necessarily bad (I'm only familiar with "The Fugitive"), but who wants to consume their TV shows in 9 minute episodes?
The other day I mentioned that "Dexter" was being revived, but not "Alias". Someone else made the connection.
Listen, I love Anna Torv and I don't wish her any bad luck, but if it's true that "Mindhunter" is toast after 2 seasons, I'm more than okay with that. I was never interested in "Mindhunter" and I'm more than happy to see Anna released from her contract, to pursue other opportunities. I just hope she lands on some show where I can enjoy her talent the way I did on "Fringe". She has it in her, and IMO, "Mindhunter" was a waste of her time, and perhaps more importantly, mine.
Yeah, so it's been 12 years now and we still don't know why Broyles sent Dunham to the storage facility. Can someone enlighten us?
Jeff Pinkner's daughter was 3 years old when "Alias" finished up 4.77 seasons and she's never seen the show. Now, they're quarantine binging it together. How cool is that?
BTW, speaking of Jeff Pinkner, he and his former "Alias" buddies are working on an "action-packed spy series" for Amazon (you didn't think it would be on network TV, did you?).
Nothing says BLM like free appliances. I wonder if he opted for the extended warranty.
The Girl Scouts bent the knee and deleted their "Congratulations Amy Coney Barrett" tweet. Will Jack Nicklaus be the next to capitulate?
Or will Twitter just de-platform him to protect the people?
These people are insane!!!!
The short answer is Yes, they are insane.
But, contributing to the problem is outfits like the Girl Scouts caving into the Twitter mob's demands. The same mob who thinks men should be allowed to compete in women's sports AS women. You'd think the Girl Scouts, of all people, would take a stand against people who propagate that kind of nonsense. A spine is a beautiful thing.
Somehow I missed the (old) news of a "Gossip Girl" reboot. GG originally debuted after "Alias" ended, ran for 121 episodes (none of which I've seen) and ended in 2012. And now it's ALREADY being rebooted, unlike "Alias", which, ya know...isn't.
It seems crazy to me that, when Sean Connery played Indiana Jones's father, he was younger than I am now. It's also hard to believe that "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman" was his last real movie, 17 years ago.
Looking back over his IMDB page, I can say that I've actually seen precious few of his movies.
Yeah, this aging thing is getting old!
Just noticed on Ron Rifkin's IMDB page, that he appeared in a 2002 movie as..........Dr Fauci.
You can't make this stuff up.
Oh, that's rich!!!! Dr. Fauci is at the top of my "please, someone put a contract out on him" list.
Ha! Something tells me it was probably a generic Dr. Fauci, but who knows? I'm not willing to watch a rom-com to find out.
Oddly enough, Arvin Sloane could take care of that "hit" for you. A dual role for Rifkin. BTW, he's 81 now, no longer the youthful Arvin we met 19 years ago.
Keeping a close eye on those pesky Girl Scouts to make sure they don't Tweet out congratulations to Comma-La Harris. Don't you dare!
If I interpret this tweet correctly, Harry Styles in a dress has NO chance with Candace Owens. NO chance.
Somehow I missed this trailer for JH Wyman's upcoming "Debris" on NBC. Hopefully it lasts longer than "Almost Human".
When does it debut? Anyone's guess.
Watched the first 15 minutes of the "American Music Awards" and I just have two questions: 1)what the hell happened to music? and 2) why do all the black "singers" stick a Lil in front of their names?
Sounds like Penguin Random House Canada has a snowflake problem. It can happen when you least expect it.
From these reviews, it sounds like I should sit myself down and watch "The Queen's Gambit". It would never have occurred to me to do that (period piece about a chess prodigy, need I say more?), but wow, those reviews.
Black Fridays Matter
My belly laugh for today. What's her name is now what's his name. Next week, she may be a golden retriever. A good choice, the golden retriever.
I like "Star Trek: Discovery", but, OMG, it piles on the woke B.S. in nauseating quantities.
Isn't it good to know that Comma-La's pronouns are she/her? Clears up any potential for awkwardness. Still waiting for Joe Biden to declare his (their?) pronouns. Can't wait for the reveal.
I can't believe I read an article about deadnaming. I had to look to make sure I wasn't reading The Onion.
Here's some good news for us Jen fans. Filming is underway for a Netflix movie,"The Adam Project", billed on IMDB as Action/Sci-Fi.
Time travel. Remember what The Doctor said, "time travel, you can't keep it straight in your head".
Jen re-unites with Mark Ruffalo (perhaps the most left-wing nut job in all of Hollyweird...and that's saying something).
"True Blood" (ended in 2014) reboot in development at HBO.
"iCarly" (ended in 2012) revival series ordered at Paramount.
"Alias" (ended in 2006) reboot, uh, not in the works. Thanks for coming out.
How about that "Fringe" revival? Wellllllll, it's been talked about (not unlike "Alias"), but don't (like "Alias") hold your breath.
Anna Torv found some part-time work on ABC (Australia's ABC), teaming up with Walt Longmire on an 80's period piece called "The Newsreader". She sure looks different for this one. It's just a 6-parter and really doesn't sound too exciting.
David Cronenberg guesting on "Star Trek: Discovery". Haven't seen him since his brief tour on "Alias" in 2003.
We're down a spy tonight. I never read a Le Carre book, but I've seen several of his movies/mini-series.
FOX: My AI thriller, "NEXT", got cancelled after 2 episodes aired.
CBS: Hold my beer
If I Google "Ellen Page movies", is that hate speech?
Ha! Because Hollywood is worried about cursing! Spoken like someone who's never been to a movie.
Dude's got a lotta work to do to convince anyone he's a she. He's not off to a good start.
Just watched a few minutes of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice". Conclusion? Ben Affleck's Batman is ridiculous. He's like Robocop on steroids. He's 5 times the size of Adam West's Batman. He's like an NHL goaltender. A guy like that couldn't get out of his Batmobile without a crane.
"The Equalizer", Queen Latifah-style, kicks off February 7, after the Super-Bore. Well, we'll see how it goes.
Every once in a while, I come across this guy's Youtube videos. It's a miracle that the wokesters haven't had him de-platformed yet. I'm sure they're working on it.
Having watched every episode of "The Americans", I can't get over this guy's real accent.
And, BTW, I miss "The Americans". There isn't a respectable spy show on the tube right now.
I can't believe it's been 10 years since Alt-Broyles saved Olivia.
"Doctor Her" returns tonight for what used to be the Christmas Special, but of late has become the New Year Special (hint: we're all woke now and Christmas doesn't fit with that narrative)
Hands up if you miss "Warehouse 13". I would absolutely go for a W13 reboot. TV is such rubbish right now.
Let me guess, the reverse doesn't apply.
What if Twitter accidentally bans its own account permanently? We can always hope.
In the meantime, will there be a dispersal draft for The Donald's 89 million followers?
Current Status: not storming the Capitol, but thinking of storming the refrigerator
So, "Sex and The City" coming back after +/- 17 years. Yeah, I don't care, either. Still, it gives hope for long-gone shows to come back with original characters.
If I boycotted Twitter, Facebook, Google and Amazon, would I have anything left to do? I would have to remember how I lived way back in the 90's.
Heartwarming story about how social media is always bringin' folks together 'n stuff. A place where, rich or poor, our voices can all be heard.
Ha! Christmas dinner must be a blast at their house.
Think I'll grab me an ice cold bottle of woke-a-cola and get ready for #blackshirtday.
Nobody can out-virtue-signal me when I'm on a woke-a-cola bender.
New promo clip for "Debris". Still no idea when it debuts.
Today, for the first time ever, it occurred to me that there may be at least one "Alias" podcast out there. Well, OF COURSE THERE IS.
8 years ago tomorrow, "Fringe" faded to black. Walter's final scene. A series that actually ended well.
So help me, if The Donald doesn't pardon Lil Wayne, why I swear I'm gonna....wait a minute, WTF is a Lil Wayne? I wouldn't pardon him solely on the basis that he calls himself Lil Wayne.
BLM baby!
I feel like I should take a knee or something.
Not every bro is a Bernie Bro.
Aw, Lil Wayne got his pardon. Isn't that sweet? He's Lil Wayne, after all. Priorities are everything.
Sleepy on the phone with Creepy. What could possibly go wrong?
BLM, baby.
"Debris" debuts on March 1st.
With S8 barely underway, NBC has granted "The Blacklist" a 9th season. This is a show that jumps the shark every week before the opening credits have run. The dignified thing to do for this show it to wrap it up before it becomes any more embarrassing for the characters (especially Liz).
Sooooooo, noted lesbian Kirsten Stewart is all excited about portraying noted non-lesbian Princess Diana. Now, as a lesbian, is she not legally bound to stay in her lane? What's holding back the outrage from the Twitter wokesters?
Shouldn't Stewart issue an apology and step down from the role and promise never to offend a wokester again and perhaps go wait on tables for a few years (post-pandemic, of course) until she's had time to reflect on her cisgender privilege (white privilege at that).
That's how it works now, isn't it? Just asking on behalf of one of my many transfeminine nonbinary friends (whose pronouns escape me right at the moment). And, what about that fake British Lady Di accent? Cultural appropriation, much? I'm legit faux-outraged.
Sure, "Kate & Allie". Why not? Not "Alias", though.
I've got a man-crush on Denzel Washington.
Twitter says don't come around here with your Captain Obvious facts.
Jack says you gotta get woke or get lost.
3 clips from "The Equalizer" pilot.
"Line of Duty" coughing up an extra eppie this year. Bad news if you're a "bent copper". Good news for the rest of us.
BLM, baby. Bend the knee.
I'm looking forward to Novak Djokovic changing his name to Nelly Djokovic and kicking Serena Williams' ass in the U.S Open for the next 10 years (thanks to Sleepy Joe's "Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation").
Martina Navratilova isn't as keen as I am to witness that spectacle, saying, in an interview with the BBC, that she supported moves toward equality but that the physical advantages for transgender women competitors who had gone through male puberty were "pretty obvious.".
Martina did, however, stop short of apologizing to women athletes for enthusiastically supporting the clown that signed that Executive Order.
No clue who this good ole' boy is, but his record company cuts him loose for using the same "racial slur" that your local millionaire rapper uses 200 times in every "song" they've ever recorded? Seriously?
Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Frankly, I can live without the good ole' boys and the rappers, but that's not the point.
Article talking about NBC's upcoming "Debris" (March 1, 10:00 p.m.)
Yeah, it's Super Bore Sunday, and that can only mean one thing...."Phase One". 18 years ago. Let that wash over you for a minute.
Just head to the 32 minute mark of this video. Yup, I know, the audio sounds like the Chipmunks, but just remember the moment. Just like it was yesterday. "You have to listen to me". Wow!
Yup, "The 4400" is back. "Alias", not so much. I never really watched "The 4400". I channel-surfed it a couple of time, but don't really have any idea what it was about.
Were Pearl Milling and Aunt Jemima friends?
Yeah, so "Punky Brewster" is back (with Astro). "Alias", not so much.
Joss Whedon's "cancellation" is taking longer than most. I think this is year 4 so far.
Gina Carano is someone I hadn't thought about in a lonnnggg time. Since the lefty mob had her fired from "The Mandalorian" for a harmless tweet, I thought it would be good to reminisce with this trailer from "Haywire".
Something tells me she'll be okay.
Is there no room for "Jessica" in Joe Biden's cabinet?
Well this is a Game Changer
This has the makings of yet another "hottest year on record",
Maybe Al Gore will come over and shovel your driveway.
Note to JJ: "Diverse lead" or not, we do not need a reboot of "Constantine". Ever. C'mon Man! What happened to Bad Robot?
A brand new trailer for "Debris"
Jen re-united with lefty whacko nutbar, Mark Ruffalo for what might actually be a decent movie (the previously mentioned "The Adam Project").
Black LIES Matter.
Do I have to be less white to drink Woke-a-Cola or will drinking Woke-a-Cola MAKE me less white? These are confusing times for all of us.
The Media: "Make sure Black History Month gets up in everyone's face for the entire month of February"
Amazon: "Get this accomplished black man the hell off of our platform"
"Debris" debuts tonight at 10:00 p.m.. We'll see how that goes.
JH Wyman's last show, "Almost Human", lasted the proverbial 13 episodes back in the 2013-2014 season, so he's had a long time to think about this one.
My favourite Dr. Seuss book is "The Wokesters Who Stole Everything from Kids"". A classic for the ages.
International Women's Day, or as I like call it, Monday.
Josh "Sawyer" Holloway reuniting with JJ for a period piece, that at first blush, sounds as boring as a Joe Biden bedtime story.
Has it occurred to Prince Harry that he married trailer park trash? Poor lad.
I was surprised to learn that "The Flash" and "Legends of Tomorrow" are still on the air. Who knew? Needless to say, I don't watch either of them, but I also don't get the CW anymore, so they could disappear and I would never notice.
This celebrity circle jerk is aging verrrry well. And, of course, DeNiro is right there in the thick of it the way you'd expect him to be.
Thank God Jen wasn't in that crowd. Whew!
Quick question:
Is this considered a good look in Montana?
Instead of cancelling the host of "The Bachelorette", wouldn't the world be a better place if we just cancelled the show itself? Rhetorical question, obviously.
"Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" coming back. "Alias"...isn't.
I just don't understand why American's freak out over college sports (March Madness). Here in the frozen north, we don't care about college sports any more than we care about beer-league hockey.
I heart one of these ladies. Hint: it's the one who used to work at Credit Dauphine. If it was up to me, I'd crop the other one out of the video.
"The Walking Dead" debuted on Halloween Night back in 2010. Tonight was the first episode where no one (living or dead) died, although one guy did get bitch-slapped. A kinder, gentler "The Walking Dead".
"Line of Duty" is back, this time with one-episode-only "Alias" alum, Kelly MacDonald ("No, I forgive YOU")
Now kids, ALWAYS remember that BLM. Now go out and steal some Nikes cuz you a victim, dawg!
Jen paying the usual lip service to the potential of reprising Sydney Bristow.
Sometime before she's 75 would be nice, but let's not hold our breath.
Ouch!
MLB suffers a debilitating spine injury. It's never easy losing your spine.
Now, just remember class, Black Killers Matter (BKM). Now get out there and steal some Jordans, dawg.
For the record, I've never heard of DMX.
Why does the "hands up, don't shoot", "no justice, no peace" crowd always conveniently overlook the ridiculous behaviour of the "victims" which directly precedes their sudden death by cop?
In Excel, this is known as the if/then function. IF you act like an out-of-control jackass when the cops pull you over, THEN you die. It's a simple formula that leads to pointless rioting, and, at its worst, can lead to Al Sharpton being on my TV.
Ha!!
The "Hugs, Not Masks" movement needs a better spokesman. Spokesperson? Whatever. I mean, normally, I favour the hugs, but the idea of having a mask surgically implanted over my face gains traction when I watch this.
Oh, please. Nancy Pelosi thanking George Floyd for "sacrificing his life" for justice. Make no mistake, Nancy Pelosi would have called the cops on George Floyd herself, if he had ever come within a 1,000 feet of her designer ice cream collection. Nancy Pelosi's bodyguards would never allow her to get anywhere close to a George Floyd.
So, Nancy, dry up. You are everything that is wrong with politics.
