Will Bones fans ever accept Angela with someone beside Hodgins
The story of Angela and Hodgins is, to many fans, as integral to the overall plot as the story of Brennan and Booth. It started with a crush, was solidified with a Gravedigger, and almost ended in marriage. Despite the fact that the two have been broken up for quite some time, many fans, this one included, always suspected that the two would find a way back to each other. What if something stood in their way? Not a little bump in the road like Roxie, but something with more long term potential?
Do the communication stones on Stargate: Universe detract from the drama?
Stargate: Universe came out of nowhere for me. Despite being a big Sci-Fi geek, I was never a fan of the previous iterations, be it the movie, or the two other television shows. I’m not saying they weren’t good, because I know they all had a very passionate fan base. Regardless, I’m loving SG:U so far; despite how others feel like it’s been very hit or miss, I’m totally on board.
The one aspect of the show that I really don’t like (or, at least the one aspect not named Rush that I really don’t like) was the communication stones that were heavily featured this week. I liken this show to what Star Trek: Voyager should have been, much more so than Battlestar Galatica that, with which it shares quite a bit tonally, has less in common with than is given credit for. What SG:U doesn’t share with both of the shows, that it should, is the sense of isolation.
Eight (ish) reasons why Callie and Arizona are becoming the best couple on television
I’ve talked often this season about how Callie Torres has really filled out as an amazing character (a lot of which had to do with the killer performances by Sara Ramirez). Much of it, however, is rooted in her relationship with Arizona Robbins. While they’ve not been together a full season yet, they’re quickly becoming my favorite couple on television. These are some of the reasons, just in this week’s episode, that you can see why:
Ten reasons why last night’s Trauma proves that its cancellation sucks
I’ve already waxed poetic (or very much not so) on NBC’s cancellation of Trauma. Spoiler Alert: I think it was a ill-advised move. Since I’ve been covering the show since it premiered (heck, before it premiered), the illustrious editorial team here at CliqueClack asked me if I wanted to continue covering it (as I seem to be the standard barer for covering shows after their cancellation). I want to continue because I’m such a fan of the show (I think it’s much better than the recently saved Southland), but only if I can abstain from continued whining about its cancellation.
This post is obviously the exception that will hopefully prove the rule.
Quotation Marks – Batman, Emperor Palpatine, and sexy kittens
Halloween week on TV always is fun. Costumes, parties, and horror stories, oh my! This week wasn’t all about the Day of the Dead, however. We saw Derek buck the odds (and his boss) and perform a miracle like surgery, NBC cancel my favorite new show of year (Favorite show not named Glee that is), and the folks from Supernatural meet their future counterparts. And its not even November Sweeps yet!!

“Are you staying for the party?” — Jeff
“If I stay, there can be no party. I must be out there in the night, staying vigilant. Wherever a party needs to be saved, I’m there. Wherever there are masks, or there’s tomfoolery and joy, I’m there. But sometimes I’m not, ’cause I’m out in the night, staying vigilant, watching, lurking, running, jumping, hurtling, sleeping. No, I can’t sleep. I don’t sleep. You sleep. I’m awake. I don’t sleep. I don’t blink. Am I a bird? No. I’m a bat. I am Batman … or am I? Yes, I am Batman. Happy Halloween.” — Abed
Ten reasons why Oliver Queen is a more interesting character than Clark Kent
Sure, the name of the show is Smallville, and we didn’t even meet the Green Arrow until the sixth season of the show, but at this point, I think he’s the star of the show. I’ve said before that I have, in past seasons, had trouble following this show during the season, and I think I’ve finally admitted to myself the reason why. Clark Kent, as a separate character from Superman (or in this case, the Red-Blue Blur) is supposed to be plain, understated, mild-mannered even, but unfortunately, both of his personas on this show are just kind of boring.
Oliver Queen, on the other hand, doesn’t have that problem. He’s a much more compelling leading man than Clark, and these are the reasons why:
The curious case of Cristina Yang
Do you remember season one Yang? To use her word, she was hardcore. Man, she was hardcore’s hardcore. She was very obviously the leader of the pack amongst the group of very green surgical interns at Seattle Grace. She knew what she wanted, knew how she was going to get there, and was going to let absolutely nothing stand in her way. Now? She’s just the doctor that wishes she needed to wear a diaper.
So what happened? What changed this once incredibly promising doctor to just another doctor in the crowd? The easy answer is the loss of Burke, and I think that is probably the root of the problem, but not all of it. Yang is obviously too strong of a person to let the dissolution of a relationship throw her into such a tizzy. Sure Burke left, and it made a dent, but it is not what put set of off of the track that she was on.
