MIDSUMMER LULLABY
Posted August 29th, 2008 in , Uncategorized
Shakespeare wrote a lullaby(For Titania, Midsummer)but can’t find Mendelsson’s music recorded anywhere online; should ask Gayle; fun words. Forget the link, here’s the darn words — from bartleby.com:
| 97. Lullaby |
| William Shakespeare (1564–1616) |

“SHOW ME THE MUMMY”
Posted August 27th, 2008 in Uncategorized
Well, Eureka gets a bonus .25 for proper punning. This week’s episode — not much dwelling on Stark, except for Fargo and nice touch to see the other characters react. Getting a little tired of the Eva Thorne teasers. Like Carter’s sister and the sibling interaction, probably partly because I miss mine. Who else can you go to when you need a quick game of touch football — that’s it, let’s see another Eureka version of sport. Baseball and tennis, now we need….polo? Robot horses? Remote controlled on the moon????? Anyway, scoring…
Eureka, pluses for Carter figuring out something the scientists should have; plus for Cafe Diem inclusion — Vincent is apparently covering all the quirk and doing a good job, plus for the horror motifs — Blair Witch and that fun moment when the bugs banged against the freezer door — minus for the streching out of the Thorne puzzle, plus for Lexi, minus for Zane, I’m still missing Taggart; minus for not enough Jo recently; plus for doing Fargo well (I guess we’re stuck with him). Total: 3.5, sorry, 3.75 with the bonus. So the score for plague of the Egyptian sort versus plague of the alien nanobot sort (drum roll or count down to the maybe not so inevitable detonation): The Middleman takes the week with 5 on the EM scale versus 3.75 for Eureka. Next week, The Middleman season finale. Throw a party. Serve up some square jawed justice. Do the same on Tuesday. Cheers.

MIDDLEMAN DESERVES MORE SEASONS
Posted August 26th, 2008 in The Middleman
Might as well put it all in the title…here’s the page where the situation is discussed: http://www.zap2it.com/tv/news/zap-story-themiddlemanoutin12orbackfortwo,0,2566870.story
As for tonight’s episode, no suspense, it’s a 5, yes, they’ve maxed out the scale. OK, I should change the scale to a -6.5 to +6.5, EM Scale 2.0
The Breakdown: pluses for actually carrying off the hero crying, pluses for Code 47s, pluses for Dr. Who, more power, and the awful first Star Trek movie references; always pluses for Lacey and Noser; minus ’cause I still don’t like the boyfriend; plus for Ida’s brain, pneumatic tubes always good (watch the Shadow); minus for not giving a cooler character Lethbridge-Stewart’s name; minus for not enough steam…

CHEETAH GRUMP
Posted August 23rd, 2008 in , Uncategorized
Well, Cheetah Girls: One World not only gave me a curry craving, but it pushed we care about music videos and equal screentime past we care about script. Was like the highlight reel for three different movies — I think the Sabrina Bryan branch had the most potential — interesting pauses for mixing in philosophies, plus physical comedy, a lonelypond staple and something that comforts me, personally, at moments like this when I’m starting to come down with something. Maybe I can convince Gayle to break out Season 1 of Get Smart instead of more NBC chooses my Olympics events. Oh yeah, plus the Cheetahs were missing that Kenny Ortega snap sizzle — be interesting to see what he does on the big screen with High School Musical 3.
