DALLAS – Season 2, Episode 4: “Bypass”
It’s the Jock has a heart attack episode! For me, this was when Dallas truly started sinking its hooks into me. I loved it up until now, but when Jock had a heart attack, we moved into the type of soap opera tropes that General Hospital weaned me on. If only Bobby and Pam had […]
Logan’s Run – Season One, Episode 8: “Fear Factor”
PEW PEW PEW! Flaming fireballs – it looks like we’ve got some science gone mad in this week’s episode. And STILL no sign of Francis! Let’s jog along with this week’s recap of Logan’s Run! In some pretty obvious last-minute dubbing, REM tells the runners he senses a forest … through his heat sensors. Now […]
DALLAS – Season 2, Episode 2; “Old Acquaintance”
To me, Season Two started off slow. Gary #1 wasn’t the reunion I’d hpped for and now, it’s time for another reunion, with someone we’ve never heard of – Jenna Backstory, I mean, Wade. I’ve never liked Jenna Wade. In theory, the idea of an old flame of Bobby’s makes sense. Bobby wouldn’t cheat, so […]
Logan’s Run – Season 1; Episode 7: “The Crypt”
PEW PEW PEW! Time for a moral dilemma for our runners and another episode without Francis! Where IS he? Let’s search for him in this week’s episode of Logan’s Run! We open on a night scene and the air car rumbles through an abandoned Hollywood backlot pretending to be a city hit by a nuclear […]
DALLAS – Season 2, Episode #: “Reunion, Part 2”
Welcome back to the reunion of Gary #1 (aka, NOT Real Gary Ewing, as played late by Ted Shackleford) and his family. After a quick recap of last week’s events (which I won’t recap my own recap here, because then we get into a meta-spiral we’ll never escape), let’s dive right in. We open with […]
Logan’s Run – Season 1, Episode 6: “Half Life”
PEW PEW PEW! It’s that time again to leap into the future, put our best foot forward and start jogging along with Logan’s Run! This week with 100% more Kim Cattrall than ever before! From the trailer, this looks like an expanded version of Original Series Star Trek’s “The Enemy Within” episode, only EVERYONE splits […]
DALLAS – Season 2, Episode 1: “Reunion, Part 1”
After the success of the mini-series, the next season of Dallas was quick to air. With most of the important parts of the Ewing mythology established, it’s no surprise that the season premiere brought in the only Ewing we hadn’t seen yet … Gary! This, of course, is Gary #1, who gets quickly replaced by […]
Logan’s Run – Season 1, Episode 5: “Man Out of Time”
Season 1, Episode 5 – “Man Out of Time” Pew! Pew! Pew! Time to leave the socio-political madness of today behind and fast forward to the … well, the same socio-political madness, just cleverly hidden by silver lamé jumpsuits. Let’s join Logan on his next Run! As promised last week, we find Sanctuary this week. […]
DALLAS – Season 1, Episode 5: “Barbecue”
After the distasteful events of last week’s episode, this starts out much better, with Bobby jogging in some short 70s gym shorts that wouldn’t be out of place in an International Male catalog. Then it goes south quickly. The caterers are setting up and there is a horrible display of tokenism, as Tilly tells “Mistuh’ […]
