Tabz Leave a comment

There are few TV shows as quotable as Buffy in my world. Thinking about the fantastic quotes from the series here’s my top five quotes for Season 1.

#5 – Fork Guy (Teacher’s Pet)

Giles: That’s all he said? Fork Guy?
Buffy: That’s all Cryptic Guy said: Fork Guy.
Giles: I think there are too many guys in your life

#4 – Xander Shaped Friend (The Witch)

Buffy: Hmm, I know you don’t, that’s ’cause you’re my friend. You’re my Xander-shaped friend!

 

#3 – This Week (Out of Mind, Out of Sight)
Principal Snyder: There are no dead students here. This week.
#2 – He Loves This Part (The Harvest)
Giles: For as long as there have been vampires, there has been the Slayer. One girl in all the world, a Chosen One…
Buffy: He loves doing this part.
Giles: Alright. The Slayer hunts vampires, Buffy is a Slayer, don’t tell anyone. Well, I think that’s all the vampire information you need.

#1 – Pretty Dead (Prophecy Girl)

Buffy: I may be dead, but I’m still pretty. Which is more than I can say for you.

Girl Friends in The Big Bang Theory

Tabz Leave a comment

WARNING SPOILERS FOR SEASON 4 of The Big Bang Theory.

In Season 4 of The Big Bang Theory Penny, the lone female lead in a cast of four males, finally got some girl friends. Now, I love The Bang Theory, but these two new girls (Bernadette and Amy) added some much needed balance to the cast (and some female nerds, which was awesome).

There’s something refreshing about the larger cast, mainly because it adds more maturity to the show (in a way) because Penny, Bernadette, and Amy can discuss relationships, work, friendship in a way that the male characters can’t. Of course, the relationship was necessary because of Leonard’s new relationship with Raj’s sister (Priya) caused Penny not to hang out in Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment. Poor lonely Penny needed friends of her own (and more excuses to film in Penny’s apartment) and she got them.

Deep friendships with the opposite gender are explored a lot on The Big Bang Theory and I’m happy that the girls and boys have their own time to discuss things together that may be awkward or impossible to discuss with a mix gender group. Plus, it’s led to some great situational humor as Amy tries to have the female friendships she should have had growing up.

Relive all of the fun girl friend moments with The Big Bang Theory Season 4 on DVD/Blu-Ray.

In Defense of SPN Season 6

Tabz Leave a comment

I’ll admit I (like a lot of people I know) wasn’t exactly on board with the idea of season 6 of Supernatural. I thought that Kripke’s five season arch had told the story in completion, that it would be a hard, rough end for the Winchesters who had a hard, rough life. I went into this last season with trepidation. How could they top coming toe to toe with Lucifer?

The season started rough, as a lot of the later seasons of SPN do they make the mistake of having the brothers at odds with one another. I believe most people watch this show because of the brothers bonding against the world. We love their relationship when it’s good and the longer it’s bad the more annoyed we get. Yet, TV shows need and thrive on conflict. And in a show with really only two main characters, their only choices are the brothers.

Then, once the relationship was back, the show really heated up and reminded me, once again why I love this show. Some old faces popped up and one of my favorite episodes from season 6 harkened back to Season 2 when Dean tries to outrun a reaper. The moral questions that the boys have to answer make this more than some fantasy show about two hot guys running around in a car. It really makes me examine my own faith and thoughts on death, life and everything in between.

If you gave up on the season, pick up the DVDs and really stick it out. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the end and anxiously awaiting season 7 like I am.

ION Television Picks up Flashpoint

Tabz Leave a comment

[Press Release] ION Television premieres its newly acquired hit police drama “Flashpoint” on Tuesday, October 18 at 10pm ET/PT with new original episodes. ION Television, the new home for the award-winning series, will schedule “Flashpoint” in a two-hour block on Tuesdays from 10pm-12am ET/PT and again on Saturdays from 9-11pm ET/PT.

To support the series launch, ION Television will unveil an integrated marketing campaign, including television, print, out-of-home & digital advertising. As part of the campaign for the first-time ever, ION will feature a Quick Response code on all printed marketing elements, which will provide fans access to exclusive cast interviews, a never-before-seen sneak peek from the premiere episode and entry into the ‘Flashpoint Alert’ contest, starting September 26th. The online contest provides fans a chance to win weekly cash prizes by scheduling the premiere episode onto their digital calendars and their social media platforms.

ION Television, a top-10 network, acquired the rights to all existing episodes and future production of “Flashpoint” from CBS Television Distribution earlier this year. The production of the season’s upcoming episodes marked ION Television’s first venture into originals planned by the network in the coming year.

“Flashpoint” joins ION Television’s primetime line-up of hit off-network series such as “Psych,” Monk,” “Criminal Minds,” and “Without a Trace,” and its blockbuster theatricals, which have driven record ratings for the network. The new series joins the schedule on the heels of ION’s recent acquisition of the hit series “Leverage” and “House,” both set to launch on ION in 2012.

Starring Hugh Dillon (Durham County), Enrico Colantoni (Veronica Mars), Amy Jo Johnson (Felicity) and David Paetkau (Whistler), “Flashpoint” is the nail-biting cop drama and an emotional journey into the tough, risk-filled lives of a group of police in the Strategic Response Unit (inspired by Toronto’s Emergency Task Force). Members of a highly-skilled tactical team, they are trained in negotiating, profiling and getting inside the subject’s head to understand the emotional breaking point (the “flashpoint”) that triggered the crisis.

“Flashpoint” is produced by Pink Sky Entertainment and Avamar Entertainment in association with CTV and CBS. Executive producers are Anne Marie La Traverse and Bill Mustos. Creators are Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern. David Frazee is Series Consultant.

The Big Bang Theory and Roommates

Tabz Leave a comment

Among my online friends there’s been a lot of talk lately about roommates. Specifically about the pain of living with roommates. Having to share a room with my sister did not adequately prepare me for the nightmare that was sharing a room in college. I had 6 different roommates in my years in college and most of them were, in some way or another, difficult. Then I lived in a three bedroom apartment with two other girls and that, also, was a bit of a nightmare. Lets just say that Passive Aggressive notes took a whole new level of amazing when I lived in that apartment. Of course, if we would have had a roommate agreement like Leonard and Sheldon some of that difficulty may have been avoided. At least we would have known where we stood.

My favorite roommate though was my junior year of college when I met Hannah. She was a fantastic roommate and we got along so well despite our obvious differences. We were both very busy, she was planning her wedding and trying to finish her senior year and I was a junior involved in every activity imaginable and my first boyfriend. Every night we’d come back to our rooms exhausted and crawl into bed and turn off the lights, but stay up for hours talking. She was a source of encouragement and wisdom, especially when my life seemed a hectic frenzy. I can’t say that I had changed any when I lived with Hannah, all of my faults were there (even more so because I was so stressed and busy), but Hannah was so radically different than any other roommate relationship I ever had.

Lately my pastor has been talking about what real love is and how real love overlooks flaws and just loves. I think that’s what I was missing in a lot of my roommate situations before and after that experience – love. Hannah really showed me what friendship and love were about.

When it comes to The Big Bang Theory as much as the other characters on the show and Leonard make fun of Sheldon and often get very annoyed with him – I think there’s a deeper friendship/love that they have for each other. It’s what keeps viewers like myself coming back to the show (okay, that and the geeky references and situations). But honestly, their friendship is one of the vital parts of the show. It might not always work, but Sheldon and Leonard have a friendship that most people would envy, a friendship that I had with Hannah. Hopefully (as far as fictional characters can) they appreciate it!
