What the Heaven and Hell!? (V gets religious)
Posted on January 29, 2011 | No CommentsOr, how a show I used to really enjoy has suspended my suspension of disbelief. I wanted to write this a week ago, but there is no wrath, after all, like an atheist socked in the face with preachy religious messages in the middle of... -
Mommy Issues (ABC’s V, ep 2.1: “Red Rain”)
Posted on January 5, 2011 | 1 CommentThere was a time in my life when everything I read, or watched, or thought reminded me of LOST. I’m not saying that’s quite over, but Kate the Lostie is Kate the Fringe Fan these days, and more and more I’m seeing J. J. Abrams’s other show in... -

V 1.03: Killing with Kindness
Posted on November 22, 2009 | No CommentsThe biggest danger the humans of ABC’s V might face this season is the all-pervasive cliché. Alien invasion stories, after all, are nothing new. Neither is the priest whose own doubts give him trouble handling the problems of his flock (cough, Meryl Streep, cough). But...
