Gone Greek: “Spring Broke”

Beneath all the relationship drama, bad puns and Casie-Cappie stuff, the season finale of Greek touched on the very theme that makes the show popular and, ultimately, fascinating. Last week’s installment dipped its toes into this idea, but the Spring Break capper to this season embraced it. The most interesting thing about this [...]

Gone Greek: “A Tale of Two Parties”

The world of Greek contains plenty of references to the Internet, from shots of characters using instant messaging to people writing e-mails. But one of the biggest online tools around today has never reared its blue and white head. Seriously, do the kids at Cyprus Rhodes not have Facebook? The issue of [...]

Gone Greek: “No Campus for Old Rules”

Like a good drug, this week’s episode of Greek made me drowsy at points, but ultimately served its purpose well enough. The action wasn’t all that interesting (especially the Casey scandal storyline, which dragged the plot down big time), but the poorly titled “No Campus for Old Rules” displayed the show’s newfound skill at [...]

Two things: I’m a girl, and I am a Battlestar Galactica fan. If I weren’t a fan I wouldn’t be writing this recap. So here’s what happened in the latest BSG episode, “The Road Less Traveled.”

All the skeptics need not worry.
This week’s episode wasn’t just reassurance that the writers didn’t go totally crazy during the strike, but it was, to me, one of the best of the season.
Here’s a quick plot-by-plot recap. Oh, and if you haven’t seen it yet,
SPOILER [...]

Gone Greek: “War and Peace”

Sorry about not getting this recap up sooner, but homework and other demands forced me to miss Greek on Monday, prompting me to purchase the latest episode from iTunes and watch it Tuesday. I didn’t miss anything revolutionary: This week’s episode was a ho-hum affair, featuring a goofy and awkward “war” between Kappa Tau [...]

The Office: “Dinner Party”

After a dragged-out and frustrating break due to the Writer’s Guild strike, The Office is finally back with an episode that managed to satisfy me and leave me wanting more at the same time. Before I get into any of that, though…
Episode Summary: Michael Scott dupes Pam and Jim into attending a dinner [...]
