Fox have announced that 24 's eighth (and possibly last?) season will debut with a two-hour special on Sunday 17 January 2010 , then move to its regular Monday night slot from 25 January. Must... resist... "the clock is ticking"... closing remark...

[SPOILERS] A kind of precognitive Casualty, sci-fi thriller Paradox got off to a solid if unexceptional start. It's another BBC genre show that doesn't offer too much outright originality, but is just content to put a humdrum fantastical twist on a police procedural. This can sometimes ...

[SPOILERS] Hot on the heels of Dexter's "Hungry Man", Heroes does its own Thanksgiving episode, but it's of a decidedly softer nature (i.e. no family meal ends with the c-bomb and strangulation... just arm and forehead slicing.) Is there some deep-seated issue with the American psyche ...

I just thought I'd draw everyone's attention to the return of the Spotlight feature in the sidebar of this blog. It's just a place where I embed videos of things that take my fancy (usually film trailers and TV spots), rather than create a blog post for them all the time. Right now I have all ...

According to Michael Ausiello , the ABC sci-fi series FlashForward has temporarily shut down production. The series has been picked up for a full season already by the network, but they've suffered the departure of showrunner Marc Guggenheim, the critical response has been largely negative, and ...

[SPOILERS] See, just give us a few decent characters and a human story to follow, and you naturally draw us into your world. Now, when those people are threatened or forced into tough situations, we might actually give a damn about them. It's just a shame Flashforward applied this fix to ...

[SPOILERS] I'm not entirely sure about this episode. It certainly gave us some big developments and two surprises (although I'd guessed one last week), but it just didn't feel like a natural continuation of last week's episode. It almost felt like I'd missed an episode, as Arthur's (John ...

Last Thursday I gave British and Irish readers the chance to win a copy of Terminator Salvation on DVD or Blu-Ray (the latter of which included a life-size T600 skull). To have a chance of winning you just had to answer this question in 84 words, or less: "If a cyborg from the future came ...

There never seemed to be much appetite for Hung reviews around here (seriously, am I the only one watching?), so I've decided to retire the show from weekly review. I'll still tune in every Thursday on More4, but it's not really worth my time putting a review together that nobody appears ...

[SPOILERS] It's difficult to dislike episodes of Fringe that tackle its mythology, particularly the enigmatic Observer (Michael Cerveris), who has become the show's very own "Where's Wally?" character... but "August" was decidedly average in storytelling terms. This eighth episode focused ...

I've been recording Generation Kill every week since it started on Channel 4 HD, waiting for the ideal time to delve into its seven episodes. But, to be honest, too many shows have my attention already, so finding the time to set aside was proving... well, impossible. Added to that, those ...

[SPOILERS] "The writers of old called it... a Bastard." That's what Gaius (Richard Wilson) said... wasn't it? That unintentional bit of hilarity apart, "The Lady Of The Lake" was unfortunately the worst episode of this otherwise excellent second season; two decent performances cast adrift ...

"The first in a proposed trilogy of sequels-cum-prequels, gut instincts are proven correct in fearing the worst from McG's attempt to emulate James Cameron. Terminator Salvation is a rote, soulless, dumb endeavor. After the climactic events of Terminator 3 , we're now in the post-"Judgment ...

You probably know by now that Chuck 's back on 10 January 2010 in the US, but have you seen the four-minute preview of season 3 (above)? It's basically a heartfelt thanks from star Zachary Levi (regarding the "Save Chuck" campaign that gave the spy-comedy a reprieve), together with a ...

[SPOILERS] It's a good sign that Misfits' second episode chose to focus on impertinent Nathan (Robert Sheehan), the only member of the fivesome without any actual super-powers (well, that he's aware of), as it proves the show doesn't need to rely on its superhero credentials to entertain ...
