I don’t want to say that this third episode of FlashForward was boring, because at no point during the show was I ever bored. It was, however, slower than any other episode to date. With that being said, there seemed to be a lot of introspective questions raised in this episode, with all of it […]
Saturday Night Live seems to go through many up and down cycles. Heck, even from episode to episode the quality of the show can vary greatly.

Unfortunately, it’s also one of the more polarizing scenes in the show. I’ve never considered myself a shipper at all, in regards to just […]
