24 – Day 8: 8:00pm – 9:00pm

his weekend has been the perfect storm of awesome. On Sunday, my Indianapolis Colts busted their way into the Super Bowl. Then, the New Orleans Saints, the team from my favorite town in the world, clinched the other spot. This evening, the Lady Purdue Boilermakers beat No. 4-ranked Ohio State in basketball. Now, we have […]

24 – Day 8: 6:00-8:00pm

Two episodes in and I’m already questions my feelings for the season. I go from being completely frustrated with the show to having moments where I’m reminded why I love it in the first place. Right now I’m just trying to keep up with what seems like a scattered first four hours. Let’s get started […]

24 – Day 8: 4:00 – 6:00pm

And so it begins. Another day of Jack Bauer’s life. Another day of intrigue, action, and everything else that comes with the territory. I hope that you all enjoy these reviews over the course of the season as much as I enjoy writing them every week. Let’s get started! Debrief Jack Bauer has healed from […]

DEXTER: The Getaway

Wow. That is all I can say. I feel bad, in retrospect, for all of the times I’ve said something on “Dexter” was/could be a “gamechanger.” Little did I know that the fine folks running the show would come up with a way to truly change the show as we know it. It needs to […]

DEXTER: Hello, Dexter Morgan

There has been disparate view from many reviewers and critics of “Dexter”,  but I don’t think this season has been as inconsistent as seasons past. Sure, every series and every season will have episodes that are better than others. But, this season’s story has progressed at a nice rate and, even though I’ve complained about […]

DEXTER: Lost Boys

It hasn’t been until the past few years that I realized that TV could be scary. Is that weird? I hate horror/slasher movies, so I’m not a fan of the genre, but I don’t mind being scared. Different things scare me though. The two scariest shows on TV right now, in my opinion, are “Dexter” […]

DEXTER: Hungry Man

Wow. Really? Didn’t see that one coming! The last couple of seconds of this episode will have to be explained next week, but it certainly raises a lot of questions. I’ll go through a quick recap and then we’ll handle all of the turkey day festivities. Dexter snuck into Arthur’s for Thanksgiving after he talked […]

DEXTER: Road Kill

I’m starting to wonder if they’ll wait until the end of the season to kill Arthur or spring it on us early. By my estimate, there are about four episodes left this season. That seems like a long time for Dexter to realistically wait to kill him. I mean, I seriously doubted he would just […]

DEXTER: Slack Tide

The creative team behind DEXTER have always sought out ways, in varying degrees of success, to bring the audience inside the mind of Dex. It’s not always meaningful, but most of the time we get a peek at something truly fascinating. This week was full of those threads, with the last moments marking a significant […]

DEXTER: If I Had a Hammer

When I took this position, I vowed to blog to you in sickness or in health. So, tonight, I write to you in the midst of some sort of sickness. Therefore, if some of my thoughts are rambling, you can blame the fever. However, this doesn’t explain my rambling in any other post. The writers […]

DEXTER: Dirty Harry

Before we get started, can anyone figure out the connection between the title and the episode? Sometimes it’s really blatant, sometimes it isn’t, but usually I can come up with it. Maybe I’m just being a little dense on this one. Anyway… Is it me, or are the writers doing a better job at giving […]

DEXTER: Blinded by the Light

While we didn’t have a Dexter-caused death this week, we definitely dealt a lot with Dex’s personal life and how the edges of it might be cracking in certain spots. This week we were introduced to a lot of the members of Dexter and Rita’s community. Apparently, there’s been a vandal in the area, and, […]

DEXTER: Remains to Be Seen

Get it? It’s called “Remains to Be Seen?” Funny, right? Anyway, this week we had the “Dexter” version of “Memento,” as Dexter tried to go back in time and remember what he did with Benny’s body. The car crash was really the device that got us into a lot of issues this week, mainly through […]

DEXTER Season Premiere: Living the Dream

Welcome back to Miami. It’s time once again to drop in and get a glimpse into the life of America’s favorite serial killer, Dexter Morgan. It seems like yesterday that I was writing my first ever post for GMMR about last season’s premiere, so to think it was a year ago is insane. So much […]

TRUE BLOOD Season Finale: Beyond Here Lies Nothin’

My apologies to Philboy and TRUE BLOOD fans. With all my traveling yesterday, I wasn’t able to post Philboy’s take on the TRUE BLOOD finale until now. I actually just got around to watching it myself, and WOW! Dan and I will be talking about it on the next podcast. But check out Phil’s take […]
