Film & TV Rants & Raves

This blog consists of my rantings and ravings about movies and TV shows that I love (or hate). I’ve studied film at Harvard, Boston University, and the Cambridge School for Adult Education, and taught film studies as well. I’ve got lots of strong opinions, so look for them here!

Most Improved - Threshold

Threshold has now proven itself to me, and I’m definitely sticking with it.  Last Friday’s episode was really good, with each character having great dialogue for a change.  Except for the security/special forces guy, whatever his name is.  Cavanaugh. He is definitely the least interesting character.  I knew that one of the “Red Team” members was going to be killed off – and throughout the show I kept thinking, it can’t be Lucas, he’s the funny uptight guy, and it can’t be Ramsey, he’s the smart sarcastic one, and it can’t be Data, aka Brent Spiner, aka Fenway, because he’s just fabulous!  Fortunately, in a good plot twist, it turned out to be Diane Venora, and she was totally boring anyway, but the way she died was cool!  I had been worried after the third episode about the military academy, because that was just lame, but the show has really come together.  I am especially glad that the tech guys have been sent out into the field to deal with situations, rather than just stuck sitting in the lab in front of a computer screen – because we all know what fascinating television THAT is!

Unbeleivable. I dont know how you have the time to watch this much TV! But dammit if you don't have me wanting to go queue up a bunch more things on my already taxed-out DVR... :-)
