Feet of Clay—Caprica's "Reins of a Waterfall"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Caprica is shaping up to be an interesting mirror of our own civilization, but it's moving very slowly... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

God Blinks—Fringe's "Jacksonville"
Opinion > Television Reviews
A great episode: the best television I've seen this year. (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Desaparecido—Chuck's "Chuck vs. The Nacho Sampler"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Chuck grows a little more, in a happy/sad episode showing that being a spy might not be so good for the soul... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Once More With Feeling—Caprica's "Rebirth"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Oh no, please, don't lose the fascinating-looking otherworldly hints in the dreaded soap opera-ness... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

The Tenth Plague—Fringe's "The Bishop Revival"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Fringe continues to be a feast for the mind every week... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

R-E-S-P-E-C-T—Chuck's "Chuck vs. First Class"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Chuck finally goes out on his own, and guess what? He's competent. Might the CIA actually want him to succeed? And what's with the new girl... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Everything is Connected—Caprica's Pilot
Opinion > Television Reviews
Frankenstein and religion combine to create an intriguing pilot. We'll be watching to see if musings on what makes us human and how we believe can keep an audience... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Black Oil Redux—Fringe's "What Lies Beneath"
Opinion > Television Reviews
A compelling episode, even if it was a weak story... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Don't Freak Out, v. 2.0—Chuck's "Chuck vs. Operation Awesome"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Season 3 hits its stride, as the bad guys hit Awesome. And it's Chuck to the rescue, with a new mentor and new problems. Meanwhile... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Eye of the Beholder—Fringe's "Johari Window"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Foolish characters still lead us to a very good story very well told... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Hero to Zero—Chuck's Season Three debut, three episodes in one
Opinion > Television Reviews
Chuck's long-awaited reboot wasn't at all what we expected, and is far more disappointing than we'd hoped. Our new, improved Chuck seems an awful lot like the old, unimproved Chuck, with less heart... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Walk-Ins—Fringe's "Unearthed"
Opinion > Television Reviews
An out-of-schedule episode, but a good one for the "wow, neat" factor (not so much if you're more rooted in the ongoing mythology of the series), but the viewers seemed to like it... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Water, Water, Everywhere, But…—Doctor Who's "The Waters of Mars
Opinion > Television Reviews
The Doctor is going through some major character shifts, and quite possibly for the better, as he appears to be setting himself (and his audience) up for something big... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

The Witching Hour—Eastwick's "Tea and Psychopathy"
Opinion > Television Reviews
A great ending to the series… except that the next episode will be the last… (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Random Access Memory—Fringe's "Grey Matters"
Opinion > Television Reviews
A little less "ick" than last week, with a really neat science fictional twist that will just keep me coming back for more and more... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Blind Justice—Stargate Universe's "Justice"
Opinion > Television Reviews
What to do? What story to tell? I know, we'll fall back on that old sf trope, the courtroom drama. Characters who forget to use the technology they have are not often that admirable... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Exit, Guns Blazing—FlashForward's "A561984"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Hints of a bigger reason behind many small annoyances, hope that the series can be retooled sufficiently to save it, and a longer-than-expected hiatus mean this episode will have to stand much taller... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Queen V—V's "It's Only the Beginning"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Interesting story twists, a really good villain, and some decent cliff-hangers. Now if only ABC can maintain the interest for a three-month hiatus... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Flash Light—FlashForward's "Believe"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Back to basics: focusing on the people and how the Flashforward affects them turns in a much better episode... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

V—Five for Fighting—V's "A Bright New Day"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Getting better. Not enough alien tech, but some nice paranoia, and some legitimate reasons for it. Will it all be enough to hold viewers over the months-long hiatus coming after the next episode?... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Déjà vu, déjà vu—Stargate Universe's "Time"
Opinion > Television Reviews
A good exploration of time, but the story itself, well… (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Teen Angst—Fringe's "Of Human Action"
Opinion > Television Reviews
A great episode, playing homage to two of its X-Files predecessors, and laying the groundwork for much bigger issues yet to come... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

A Foul and Awesome Display—FlashForward's "Playing Cards with Coyote"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Last week, we proved we have free will, so now you don't want it? Let's see how deeply into the corner the writers have painted themselves... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

The Allure of Submission—V's "There Is No Normal Anymore"
Opinion > Television Reviews
A better-paced episode with some more believable characterization, but what was the plot? And why must there always be a character who is stupid only because the plot requires it? (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)

Ashes to Ashes—Fringe's "Earthling"
Opinion > Television Reviews
Modifying old ideas can make for new and wonderful television, as this episode does... (Warning: this review contains some spoilers.)
