Which Airbender Character are You?
Here’s today’s exercise: If you have not yet watched Avatar: The Last Airbender, go to Netflix and watch it right now. We’ll wait. Actually, if you have watched it, take this time to watch it again. It’s definitely worth a repeat viewing. Okay, now we’re all refreshed on the awesomeness that is Aang and the…

Bringing KITT Back
First let me apologize for my absence. I’ve been fiddling with more personal, non-writing specific posts. That was fine and all, but there was one topic I’ve been trying to tackle for awhile that is difficult because it involves another company owned by the company that owns mine. In other words, there’s a lot I’m…

Keith Mars on Flashpoint
Have you seen Veronica Mars? Let’s assume you have. If you haven’t, go watch it so my assumption will be correct. You can thank me later. Okay, now that we’re all up to speed, who is one of the best characters on the show? Keith, the dad, played by Enrico Colantoni. If I could rent…

PATV
My friend Luke introduced me to Penny Arcade many years ago and it didn’t click. I didn’t have an X-Box and my Playstation 1 was gathering dust. I didn’t get any of their jokes. But one day in 2005 we’re hanging out in his room and his screensaver is a composite of his favorite PA…

Malcolm Castle/Richard Reynolds
I was watching an episode of Castle recently (in itself not surprising since it’s the only show on right now where I watch weekly [Psych being the other]) and I made a startling realization. Nathan Fillion is playing the same character he played in Firefly. I will not explain to you what Firefly is. You…

The Five-Step Procedural
I do not write mystery/thriller, so I have no idea if what I’m about to say applies to the written word. That kind of question is better served by Jennifer Hillier. But it was the procedural drama that ended my 5-year hiatus from television1. Now the best procedurals on television today (or at least over…

GOO! (Re: Fraggle Rock)
I was cycling through the new offerings on Netflix for instant streaming. They just closed a lot of big deals and there is a lot of new content. And what do I find? Fraggle Rock. Not just a few episodes, oh no. ALL OF IT. ALL. OF. IT!!!! This almost makes up for the time…

One of the Two Books
Did you watch the HBO mini-series “The Pacific?” I don’t think it was written as well as “Band of Brothers,” but then it had the unfortunate luck to come out after that huge hit, so it had to make sure it was decidedly something else. The special features are damn cool and the show is…

NPH Poll
Despite all the snow, I have been wicked busy at work. I have a number of half-finished posts, none of which I am in the mood to finish now. Instead…A POLL! Okay, not with the regular poll widget because it messes with my site design. Really, I should have said…A QUESTION! Or…A PROMPT! BEST NIEL…
