Jackson (Michael Shanks) is watching old footage of the Stargate project and both her…

Stargate SG-1 (1997) – Brief Candle, and Thor’s Hammer
After Emancipation, I think Brief Candle is my least favourite first season episodes (outside of the clip show near season one’s end, of course). It’s not that it’s a bad episode, but it’s just an episode that doesn’t resonate with me. Written by Katharyn Powers from a story by Steven Barnes, this episode was first…

Stargate SG-1 (1997) – Children of the Gods
I loved the sense of wonder and adventure that the original Stargate film made me feel when I watched it, but I was reticent to dive into the series until well after the first season was released to DVD. My friend Dennis loved it, and swore by it and said I should give it a…

Canadian TV is really coming into its own, especially in recent years, and as such, we have a powerhouse line-up of actors available to duke it out and be pronounced as your favourite!

What Sue’s Watching – Playing PVR Catch-up
Good grief, last week in TV was AMAZING! I’m still not caught up, and now there are double the number of some shows to talk about, but there are several shows I definitely want to mention, so let’s just jump into it, shall we? The Following: It occurred to me once that maybe the…
What Sue’s Watching – Playing PVR Catch-up
Last week saw a lot of epic television, but I’m going to try and focus on a few in particular this time – especially the ones that I inadvertently left out last post. Lost Girl – Tim usually writes the episode recaps, and while I thought of trying to write one for last week’s…
What Sue’s Watching – Playing PVR Catch-Up
Okay! I spent two full days trying to watch all the programs I’d accumulated on my PVR over the last bit, and almost got all caught up! I’ve picked up some new shows since last I wrote, and have been behind a lot lately as I don’t have much time to watch anything until…
