Have you been watching Avatar: The Last Airbender on Nickelodeon? If not you are missing some superb television.

Tomorrow a new episode will air, followed by another new episode Friday and then Saturday is the big four-episode series finale. If you haven’t been watching the series go get caught up on the wikis here and here then watch the last few episodes.

This is good drama and good times folks. The story arc through the three seasons has been consistently coherent and compelling. The character development is outstanding. And the build up to the finale has been riveting. Unlike some shows on TV (I’m looking at you BSG!) one never gets the feeling that the writers were making things up as they went with this series. There has been a clear beginning, middle and end. I trust the grand finale coming up will satisfy as well. 8:00 PM on Nick.

So You Think You Can Dance is in full swing (literally) in it’s fourth season and it’s kicking AI’s butt.  Remember how in AI you just knew early on that the two Davids were going to be in the finals?  Well, this show is a wide open race.  Remember how certain contestants on AI just needed to get kicked off ASAP?  SYTYCD has major talent top to bottom (literally).  (more…)

Spoilers Below the fold and all that.

A smaller entry than usual this week. This week, I made the usual annual trip to Alaska for the summer. Alaska is great, but the first week back has been quite busy.

Anyway – onto the episode and other BSG related stuff (spoilers, of course):

I know Latin too!

ad hominem; non sequitur;, post hoc ergo propter hoc; futue te ipsum et caballum tuum; salve – nemo nunc ipsum advenire ad longelocutum ad vocem tuam accipiendam potest, sed possis si velis nuntiam tradere dicendo simul ac sonitum audiveris – Memento sonitu praestolare – ave; nullo modo; pro bono.

Well. I finally did it. After my kids manage to lose yet an other DVD and I looked at what replacing a Disney DVD cost I realized it was time to get the AppleTV. The way I figure it I need only justify the cost of 12 DVDs and I’ve paid for the AppleTV. Plus I get the convenience of having all the movies handy without having DVDs in a place where prying little hands can scratch them or worse put them in the trash.

There’s a glimmer of hope for Moonlight fans like me. According to eonline:

according to Nikki Finke, there’s a chance the CW (which is co-owned by the WB and which produces Moonlight) could schedule it on Saturday night.

I have no idea who Nikki Finke is, but I’d be very happy if it was picked up by another network.

The good news: Fox has ordered 13 episodes of the new Joss Whedon drama Dollhouse. The bad news: It’s slated as a mid-season pick up, meaning we won’t get to see it until (probably) January.

Renewed: The Amazing Race, The Big Bang Theory, Cold Case, Criminal Minds, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Ghost Whisperer, NCIS, NUMB3RS, Survivor, Two and a Half Men, Without a Trace,

Well, I finally managed to get my TV hooked up to an HD DVR (thank you, Verizon), so expect the quality of my posts to increase proportionally. In all seriousness, it’s easier to catch the small details this way.

This episode had everything the last one lacked. And, you know, I didn’t miss Jack and Kate much at all.

Maybe someone can explain to me what the episode’s title means, because I’m not feeling it. For whatever reason (and not just Bai Ling), I’ve never cared a lot for Jack-centric episodes, and this one was no exception. But it’s still LOST, so it’s still the best thing on TV, even if it was something of a let down from last week.

In this week’s AI post, MCQ said he doesn’t get my negativity towards David Cook. I decided to write a long, self-indulgent post to answer him rather than just reply in a comment. (And I’ll probably insult most everyone’s music tastes in the process. Bear with me. This should be fun.)

I don’t have anything against David Cook personally. Do I think he can sing? Yes. Does he have stage presence? Yes. Is he talented? For sure. He’s also an example everything that’s wrong with today’s rock music.
