Now, that’s more like it. After last week’s disappointing-to-say-the-least “Terra Nova,” the following Enterprise episode, “The Andorian Incident” brings some level of excitement and enjoyment back to the series – and also highlights the show’s attempts to try and build its own mythology as quickly as possible, no matter how sloppily it does it.
Ah, Super Bowl Sunday, the day when sports fans get excited about the game and everyone else gets excited about the advertisements. But for all the companies who can afford the coveted ad spots during the game even though they have no idea how to fill them, here’s a five step guide to creating the ultimate Super Bowl Ad Experience.
Worlds – and Astrids – collided in last night’s episode of Fox’s Fringe, as the threat of something that had yet to be invented – but existed, nonetheless – took center stage and brought even more than five questions we had to ask about “Making Angels.”
What’s that, you say? February is when television networks get a little lazy, because everything is in midseason and moving along quietly apart from the Superbowl? Hardly; here are five shows that you might want to tune into as they make their (re)appearances this month.
What’s worse than a bad episode of Enterprise? As the show’s fifth episode demonstrates, the answer is a boring episode. I can deal with the show being obvious, gratuitous and even downright nonsensical, but if “Terra Nova” is anything to go by, I appear to have a real problem with the show being dull.
If there’s one thing that a quick look at the current state of television and movies will tell you, it’s that there’s not much need for original ideas when there’s so much out there ready and waiting to be adapted, updated or just outright ripped off. That’s why we’ve decided to help in that process with a series which offers up some of the things we’d like to see being brought to big screen or small. This week’s suggestion? A Child Across The Sky.
Admit it: We’ve all pondered the question of whether fate is some kind of unstoppable, unavoidable juggernaut, or whether we have control over our destinies at one point or another… but as this week’s Fringe made clear, that question has a little more urgency to it when someone has told you that your fate is that you have to die in order for everything else to survive. Five questions about “Forced Perspective,” anyone?
Is anyone else watching The Finder on Fox these days? The Bones spin-off has been on for a couple of weeks now – the third episode airs tonight at 8pm – and, while I doubt it’s ever going to be a show that’ll win awards and critical praise, I have to admit that it’s a pretty perfect example of what I call the “Good Enough” genre of television – and an odd example of watching a show find itself in very public circumstances.
Four weeks in, my Enterprise rematch has started to settle into a recognizable rhythm: Eeach episode, it seems, will have its share of small moments that hint at a much more enjoyable show than the one we ultimately get, which could best be classified as “promising, but filled with problems.” The problem is, the ratio of “promising” to “problems” seems to be getting worse with every new episode, with this week’s “Unexpected” proving to be the most worrisome yet.

It’s possible that, by this point, you’re wondering just who we’re supposed to be rooting for in Fox’s Fringe, and last night’s episode “Enemy of My Enemy” might have just confused matters even more by bringing back a bad guy who really should’ve been dead. Five questions about the episode? That’s just for starters…
The ratings are in – and American Idol has dropped significantly in its 2012 premiere. It’s way too early to predict the demise of the Reality Talent Contest to rule them all, but … shouldn’t everyone involved be just a little concerned that almost a quarter of their prime audience has apparently decided to dump the show?
