We got the Halloween episode a short time ago, and that was pretty bad. How’s the Smallville episode? It’s a riff on the Ebenezer Scrooge/Wonderful Life tale. Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) is shot and ends up in a coma, and while in that state he discovers a happy life that he could have, if he doesn’t…

Battlestar Galactica (2005) – Pegasus (Extended Episode)
I remember when the episode of Pegasus aired, 23 September 2005. Me, my friends and co-workers loved it. We all made sure to listen to Ronald D.

Smallville (2005) – Thirst, and Exposed
Vampires? I’m sorry Vampires? Come on, man. I’ll let you have your meteor freaks and your metahumans, and yes I know vampires exist in the DC Universe, but this just feels a little silly.
