I can’t believe I didn’t get into this show earlier. It is a terrific combination of quick witted dialog, James Bond like action, and Bruce fraking Campbell. Burn Notice is about ex-spy Michael Weston (Jeffrey Donovan) trying to discover why he was “burned” (fired from being a spy, had his bank accounts and passport frozen) and stranded in Miami. The premise alone makes it worth a look, but it’s also incredibly well written and has some surprisingly high production values.
ABC Family, for some reason, picked up the comic book series The Middleman and hired the writer of the comics, Javier Grillo-Marxuach to pen the new show. The MIddleman turns out to be some serious super hero fun, but I can’t help but feel it would be better suited on the Sci-Fi Channel. The show follows the adventures of the milk drinking wise cracking Middleman played by Matt Keeslar, and his sidekick Wendy Watson (Natalie Morales).
Here is the first episode of the brand spankin new Nerdgasmic podcast. This week brings us the last episode of Battlestar Galactica until early 2009. “Revelations” revolves around the return on President Roslin and the Cylon ship to the Colonial Fleet. Spoilers ahead!
I am literally shaking from excitement at the end of this weeks episode of Doctor Who. Since this is the first non-announcement post on Nerdgasmic, I’d like to express my aboslute love for everything Doctor Who, both old and new. Since the re-boot of Doctor Who started back in 2005 episodes written by Steven Moffat (such as The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, The Girl in the Fireplace, and Blink) have been consistently incredible. And of course his two parter this season, Silence in the Library (last week) and Forest of the Dead (this week), is no exception. Moffat is a perfect writer for Doctor Who, he is an expert at creating and expanding the wonderful mythology behind the show, the science fiction and fantasy aspects, while keeping the characters exciting and deep. This season’s two parter from Steven Moffat may just be the best episodes since the show returned.
