The series finale of Battlestar is almost upon us! As such we go into great detail about the past three weeks of the show, and take a stab at what the final two hours holds for us. Dollhouse is looking up to, but we still have our doubts. Everyone gives their impressions of Watchmen, too. The only opposing viewpoint comes from Brooks, leading to a great discussion about both the adaptation of the novel and how the film stands alone.

We’ve decided to get back to the heart of our show, which is discussing the latest episodes of our (and hopefully your) favorite television shows. Some real great conversation about recent episodes of BSG, Lost, and others, but we also get in an epic debate(ish) about content providers asking Hulu to pull out of Boxee. All that and more!

- Burn Notice – 2×14
- Dollhouse – First two episodes and where we see the show going
- Lost – 5×06
- Heroes – 3×17
- Life – Season 2
- Boxee being forced to remove Hulu from their software
- Cable companies and advertisting
After a long hiatus we’ve finally recorded a new episode!Each one of us figured it was about time, and we spend the majority of the episode discussing what shows we’re watching and what we are looking forward to this season. Hopefully our schedule from now on will be weekly or bi-weekly, and we’ll be sure to let you know in the coming weeks.
More than anything, we would absolutely love to hear your thoughts and comments on what we have to say! Feel free to discuss the episode in the comments, or send any one of us an email at [host name]@frakinmedia.com
TV is back folks! We discuss the new shows we’re pumped for and the ones we love that are returning. Spore has come out this week and Christian gives his impressions of the game.

A painfully slow two-week period for news in TV, movies, and games, but we still manage to find a few things to talk about. Unfortunately, nearly everything we found was about people or companies throwing around terrible ideas and making decisions that don’t benefit us as consumers. Thankfully XBox Live Arcade brought us a ray of light.

Due to a lack of a lot of news and some scheduling conflicts, there will be a one week delay on Episode 17.
We finally had the chance to record together, jumped on it, and it was a ridiculous amount of fun. News this week was kind of sparse, but there was enough to generate some great conversation. A glint of hope for a Serenity sequel, Star Wars, Tropic Thunder, and the new Lara Croft. Pandora might have to shut down, and NHL goes all MMO on us. All that and more!

This week served us up so much news to talk about. Grissom leaving CSI and the Dr. Horrible DVD and possible series expansion. Also Zach gives us his review of the new Mummy film, and we discuss how Tarantino would pull off a war film, and the possible success of a big screen version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein. And we can’t forget about games! The Star Trek MMO is announced and we discuss what we would like to see from the game, and Christian gives us the low down on Soul Caliber IV. All that in more!
