Posted on January 23, 2013 by aussiemoose

  Right. So let’s say your housemate/husband/wife/erudite pet has been watching a show for 3 seasons and while you have caught glimpses here and there, you haven’t had time to stop and watch an episode due to life being crazy/more TV shows that you know what to do with / Continue Reading

Behold the bright pink unicorns of “Community”

Posted on January 18, 2013January 21, 2013 by aussiemoose

  I think we can all agree that what any edgy, quirky sitcom needs to truly cement itself as one of the greats in the pantheon of comedy awesomeness is muscular men dressed as unicorns. I mean, right? Right?! To be honest thought hadn’t even crossed my mind but by Continue Reading

  Another day. Another apocalypse. And once again Earth isn’t quite what it used to be. Welcome to Defiance, a town on the edge of a new hospitable frontier (the old St Louis, Missouri) where what’s left of humanity co-exists uneasily with the seven species that make up the alien Continue Reading

It’s the end of “Fringe” as we know it … and I don’t feel fine

Posted on January 16, 2013January 16, 2013 by aussiemoose

  Yet another sad day looms in the world of adventurous, interesting TV. The final episode of Fringe airs this Friday US time (it also functions as the series’ 100th episode), and behold it makes this fanboy mighty sad. If one thing has become abundantly clear as you read my Continue Reading

Some lighthearted “The Big Bang Theory” fun for the weekend

Posted on January 13, 2013January 10, 2013 by aussiemoose

  I discovered this gem on the web today, traced it back to its original home – made sense it was the official site the-big-bang-theory.com – and had to share it since (a) I love this show and (b) the “Soft Kitty” song rocks and this homage to it is wonderful Continue Reading

Teaser poster for “The Walking Dead” mid-season 3 return released

Posted on January 10, 2013January 11, 2013 by aussiemoose

  As I suspected the Governor, who lost an eye and his zombie-fied daughter in a violent tussle with Michonne in his very own secret fishtanks-full-of-zombie-heads chamber o’ horrors – the perfect place to rest and relax after tending to your Stepford Wives-esque refuge from the apocalypse don’t you think?

The dark shadows of “Utopia”

Posted on January 10, 2013January 16, 2013 by aussiemoose

  There was a time, a kindler, gentle less connected time when reading comic books was something that kids did on rainy days, escaping into magical worlds where superheroes saved the world (when, of course they weren’t being existentially sick to the stomach about it; I’m talking to you Batman).

Posted on January 9, 2013 by aussiemoose

  Ok here’s the insane thing (just the one dear?). I am in Australia, thousands of miles from the USA, with no hope of getting there in time to see it, but I am beyond excited that my beloved Cougar Town is back on air 10/9c Tuesday night US time Continue Reading

“The Big Bang Theory” boldly goes “Into Darkness”

Posted on January 8, 2013January 10, 2013 by aussiemoose

  Well not quite. In fact they go to Bakersfield in this week’s episode (entitled appropriately enough “The Bakersfield Expedition”) for a comic book convention, all dressed up in their finest Star Trek: The Next Generation regalia, and have to get some help from the townsfolk in a diner when Continue Reading

  • To new beginnings … Thoughts on Leanne
    (courtesy IMP Awards) If I am going to be completely honest, when I saw the trailer for Leanne, I was not overly impressed.

  • Movie review: 28 Years Later
    (courtesy IMP Awards) Sustaining interest in a movie franchise is a tricky business. If you simply keep serving up more of the same, with little variation or innovation on narrative or prevailing themes, audiences will quickly grow bored, walk away and gut your box office; but if you go too Continue Reading
