Yikes. The back half of May and the front half of June kind of slipped away from me.
I spent far too much of that time battling a nasty, spiteful pair of dueling computer viruses. My awesome personal tech guru (i.e. my brilliant sister Ingrid) helped me hunt down and kill the first one, and some very kind and patient person at the Geeks to Go forums helped me with the second. Seriously, there’s nothing like a creative and vigorous malware attack to make the internet lose a lot of its appeal. I am Googling with much caution these days.
Time for a look at the keywords used to find this site:
i want to be neil from white collarExcellent choice. Neal is awesome. He’s smart. Charming. Handsome. Snazzy dresser. Plays a mean game of chess. Probably smells like expensive cologne and good shampoo. Sure, he’s a convicted felon, but you could do worse than making Neal your own personal spiritual guru.
flashforward "worst agent”While compelling arguments can be made that Demetri, Vreede, Stan, and even Janis were no great shakes as FBI agents, the “worst agent” honor belongs to Mark Benford. Incompetent
and relentlessly unpleasant! Way to go, Mark!
white collar new episode summer 2010
July 13th is when the new season kicks off. I’ll be recapping it here, along with USA’s new show Covert Affairs, which premieres immediately after.
covert affairs jai wilcox
Sexy Sendhil Ramamurthy plays CIA agent Jai Wilcox.
talk soup peter delouise
No idea, but here’s my tangentially-related, SeaQuest DSV name-droppy anecdote: A few years ago, at a party thrown by one of my fellow Talk Soup producers, I somehow ended up engaged in a very deep conversation with Michael DeLuise, Peter’s younger brother, about the dashboard flowers in Volkswagen Beetles, while sipping a martini stirred by Ted Raimi. Yeah. That was a good party.
dealing with fluffy hair
Suave Kids Detangling Spray in Double Dutch Apple. Use it on wet or dry hair. It smells fabulous, and it’s super-cheap.
flash forward khamir doctor actor
Kahmir was played by a very cute Persian actor named Dominic Rains, who, per IMDB, used to be billed as Amin Nazemzadeh prior to 2006. He has an equally cute brother, Ethan Rains, who: a) is also an actor, and b) used to be billed as Iman Nazemzadeh. Fun fact: While they’re not twins, both Rains/Nazemzadeh brothers have played the same role on General Hospital at different times.
why do v and flashforward have to suck so bad
I don’t think they really have to suck (or, in the case of the now-cancelled FlashForward, had to suck), but in both cases, the scripts were sloppy, and thus neither show rose up to the potential of its concept. V, at least, has a second lease on life -- maybe it’ll pick up in its sophomore season.
post-discovery-of-nuclear-wasteland-earth, everybody-is-miserable episode of bsg.
Every BSG episode from “Sometimes a Great Notion” until the finale fits this description.
vinicius machado orlando bloom match
Judge for yourself. There’s a decent resemblance. They’re a couple of attractive lads with good bone structure and matching penchants for scraggly facial hair, that much is clear.
claire bennet is stupid for revealing her secret
Short answer: Yes. Somewhat more to the point, however, is that revealing her secret in the Heroes finale was just one more nonsensical and inexplicable action from this mess of a character on this mess of a show. Claire flip-flopped from episode to episode as to whether she wanted to be special or to lead a normal life. After starting the season by making a big fuss about wanting to be an ordinary college student, she ended it by deliberately revealing her super-power to the world in a big, showy manner. Yeah, it’s stupid, but it also doesn’t make sense. We saw nothing over the course of the season that could have led to such an about-face for this character.
claire bennet brat
Yes. Just consider that miserable scene where Claire and Gretchen pull icky faces and make snotty comments and spit food into napkins in the Indian restaurant, and it becomes pretty clear that Noah and Sandra Bennet raised themselves a foul little turnip.
"i hate emo sylar"
Lordy. Me too. I have no use for Sylar post-Season Two. When the writers tried to pass him off as a sensitive, damaged soul instead of the cunning and narcissistic rat bastard serial killer we’d all grown to love, I nearly threw things at the television. Just one terrible misstep out of many for this troubled, doomed show.

gary numan fringe
“Are ‘Friends’ Electric,” which is one of those awesome songs you’ve probably always known, even if you didn’t know the title.
is hating olivia from flashfoward reasonable?
“Hating” is a little strong. Olivia had many good qualities, and I like Sonya Walger as an actress. But Olivia -- like the rest of the Benford family, and like pretty much the rest of the characters on FlashForward -- could be weirdly self-absorbed and unsympathetic (remember how unwilling she was to help Vreede investigate a lead that might help save her husband’s partner’s life?), which made it difficult to feel much of anything for her.
what was the name of the song in hardy boys last kiss of summer
“If” by Bread. Think carefully before listening -- it's a proven earworm.
blue alcohol in slammin salmon
Blue Curacao. Tastes kind of like pickled orange pith. It’s an acquired taste, but the color sure is pretty.
everything sylar says has sexual overtones
I wish, but no.
flashforward chess scene ridiculous
That Morse-code-through-chess-moves business? Yeah, monstrously ridiculous.
what happen to vogel on flashforward
Not much, which is a shame -- Vogel, played by Michael Ealy, managed to lift the quality of the show in pretty much every scene he was in. For the second half of the season, Ealy and Dominic Monaghan were pretty much carrying the show.
what episode of psych did steven weber play in
Weber played Shawn’s flashy ne’er-do-well Uncle Jack in the aptly-named Season Three episode “The Greatest Adventure in the History of Basic Cable.”
the weakest, most annoying storyline in flashforward is the olivia-mark-loyd triangle
Yep.
slammin salmon nuts alter ego
Zongo. Jay Chadrasekhar's gleeful and cheerily bonkers portrayal of Nuts/Zongo has made me a fan. Enough to forgive him for the Dukes of Hazard movie, even.
prepeis of the apocolips
With that search term, Google worked overtime to find the right site.
flashforward set till 2016?
Nope. It’s gone. Break out the funny hats and noisemakers.
what show is gee buttersnaps from
“Ghee Buttersnaps” is one of Gus’s many Shawn-granted aliases on Psych.
This month's column at Forces of Geek is now up. I took a look at the 1987 kiddie monster flick, The Monster Squad.
