Continue reading →: Lost Girl – the plot thickens
So Sunday night was the Fall finale season two of Lost Girl – not to be confused with the actual season two finale, which is still to come. Like I’ve said before, I have no idea what the deal is behind the whole mid-season finale thing – it’s some network…

Continue reading →: Hugo is pure magic
Hey kids! Finally got back out to the movies yesterday and saw Hugo at the Varsity – and this is a film where the use of 3D technology actually adds to the presentation of the story (and not just to the box office receipts). The opening sequence alone, as we travel…

Continue reading →: A thoroughly enjoyable evening @ Soulpepper’s Parfumerie
Got back to the theatre last night – this time, with my friend Ty – for Soulpepper’s remount of Parfumerie (by Miklós László, adapted by Adam Pettle and Brenda Robins). I missed their original 2009 production, so was hell-bent on making it out this time. We took our chances on rush tix and made…

Holiday festivities are gathering steam as we close in on the middle of December. Middle of December?! How the heck did we get here? Anyway, festivity-wise there was a vegan Yule dinner party at my pal Lizzie Violet’s on Saturday and, although I’m somewhat of a carnivore, that was a…

Continue reading →: It was quiet – too quiet – in regularly scheduled t.v. land
Being the holiday season and all, t.v. land is relatively quiet these days – with the regular schedule, that is, there’s tons of holiday stuff on – with most shows on break till the new year or so. No more the olde thyme fall to spring season anymore. Now, we have…

Hey again – I’m back with some excellent news! I was first alerted by a pal (who knows I’m a huge fan) about this, then checked the Showcase site to see if it was public – and it is! Lost Girl will be getting a third season! http://www.showcase.ca/blog/archive/2011/12/9/the-succubus-stays-lost-girl-renewed-for-season-3.aspx Congrats to…

Continue reading →: T.V. doctors I’ve known & loved
The passing of M*A*S*H actor Harry Morgan the other day, coupled with a trip to North York Branson for a post-biopsy follow-up mammogram yesterday, got me to thinking about the various and sundry t.v. docs I’ve come to cherish over the years. When I was a teenager, there was Col.…

Continue reading →: R.I.P. Harry Morgan
Actor Harry Morgan, who played Col. Sherman Potter on M*A*S*H, died yesterday. Col. Potter was an eclectic combo of father figure and wry wit, a man of sharp horse sense – a bit of a curmudgeon too – and one of my favourite characters on the show. Morgan was 96 and is remembered fondly by…

Continue reading →: Words, words, words
When I stopped by The Moose Show at the CBC atrium a couple of weeks ago, I ordered a pair of silver cufflinks from Liz Kain’s Shakespeare collection – with the quote To Thine Own Self Be True on them – and they arrived in my mail box the other…

Due diligence: SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER, yadda, yadda, yadda… The awful feeling I had in the pit of my stomach towards the end of this episode, where Bo unknowingly walks past Lauren’s cell while having a highly civil chat with the Ash-hole, was not unlike the feeling I get when I watch the messenger…
