Eragon
The concept of dragon riders seems like it would be cool, but I think it’s poorly executed.

A Disruption in the Continuity
Just finished watching the latest episode of Heroes, “A Clear and Present Danger.” This begins “Volume 4” and the second half of Season 3, as well as the attempt by the Heroes team to salvage the show after two rather disappointing volumes. It’s hard to believe that after everything he’s been through, Nathan Petrelli would…

The Office: Stress Relief
Last night’s episode of The Office, “Stress Relief,” has got to be one of the most disappointing episodes of that show I have ever seen.

I’ve watched the first four episodes and they’ve been pretty good. Tony and Jack running down hallways…

Firefly
The ill-fated Joss Whedon show Firefly has earned a significant place in overall geek culture, so I have been meaning to watch it for some time now. It’s an excellent take on the space western and I think that for the most part it deserves the fame it has achieved. Unlike other popular sci-fi stories…

Down with MMOs
Age of Conan, the latest in the parade of Massively-Multiplayer Online Gaming scams, released yesterday. Almost immediately a number of my friends happily boarded the train where you not only have to buy a ticket to get on, but also must continue slipping bills to the conductor to prevent him from throwing you off somewhere…
